Hummer H2 For those who like a little more gleam to their Hummer, the H2 offers a similar rugged look as the H1, but as a lower cost, and with more added features, making it almost a massive luxury SUV.

Default OK, Here's Your Chance To Brainstorm An Idea I Have

The water Gutter (Leaf Filter) "TM" No not putting a leaf filter on the roof rack rail. What would use and how would you attach a mesh or whatever to the drain gutter on the roof to keep out ..Pine Needles and other gack that gets into the draining area of the outside markers and under the windshield plastic molding draining area.

I have pine trees that drop tons of needles and other tree stuff around my property and also end up on the 2. It's a real Pain as they clog up the draining areas.

What Type of material would you suggest as a filter?
How would you secure it over top of the roof gutter?
You can't drill into the roof to secure a mesh...There's the rub.

I'm sure someone here will brainstorm something and some will bust my Kia-Yun's. I think I know who....LMAO....

3yrs ago when I purchased this property there were over 100 trees/shrubs/stumps. 3yrs later only 8 trees standing keeping them trimmed up high, all stumps removed + I'm still removing roots throughout the entire property which is preventing grass to grow. TREES CAUSE A LOT OF DAMAGE!

I tell you one thing... Those trees next to your house in those old pics with branches over the roof is a home insurance No No. Good thing you removed them. I had one tree in the back yard that was about 10 feet from my house with branches over my roof.. Allstate said ..Take that tree down or we won't insure you. That was years ago. It's down.

EXACTLY. I REMOVED ASAP! Then spent numerous hours repairing the foundation & concrete slabs in the garage- driveway
Here's the most recent EAGLE VIEW (04/25 with shadows from the sun on the east side) :

Looks a lot nicer... Just get out the check book or CC and SOD the whole property.. That would require a Second Mortgage. LMAO.

More mulch-bricks-concrete-stone-etc= LESS GRASS! In 3 years I've added 600+cu.ft. mulch into beds I bordered 3/4 around the house (+200 bricks for the east/driveway sidewalk side to foundation) I also bordered the entire backyard filled in with mulch+ added a concrete slab for my shed.
Next project I will be adding 200+sq.ft. of concrete slab to my 13'x13' concrete patio slab outback. Then someday concrete slab the entire front yard covered with artificial turf.

Nice. I'm glad your helping me with my idea for a Gutter Guard..... Maybe a few of your bricks would do the trick.
