May pick up the 10’ extension tubes for the Stihl blower and try that as an interim step. There’s only one stretch along the back that I won’t be able to reach.

I have considered going without also. Lots of pines and live oaks around so they fill up fast. I agree that with the gully washers we get around here that it pours right over them especially if you have guards. My only concern would be the splash on the ground getting back on the siding and rotting it out. There are plenty of shrubs around the perimeter of the house so it might be okay. Also most houses around here have a big overhang and chain downspouts.
