Autumn is almost here and you can fall right into some money with a home-based business cleaning rain gutters, a sure thing because come September, your busy season begins. Deciduous trees got that name because they drop their leaves in the fall. It's just the Good Lord's way of making room for Spring. Farmers may have to worry about annual rainfall, but it's a certain bet those leaves are coming down. You can cash in by getting gutters and downspouts cleared of debris before the wet, cold season arrives, with little more tools than a ladder, gloves, leaf bags and a van or pickup truck to haul everything.
