Ken Beckstead, the owner and inventor of the Gutter Critter has sold the rights to it to us.
My daughter, Fayth, is going to own and operate this business. She already has the skill set to produce this product and we will help her in regards to the operational aspect until she learns how to do it herself. This is a natural extension of her homeschooling. She has been balancing our checkbooks with Shelly since she was 7 yrs old and for the past two years she has operated the cleaning portion of our interior air filter service. She cleans them, inventories them, and readies them for install. She does this on her own schedule and has shown that she has the responsibility to manufacture the Gutter Critter and any variations of it.
Gutter Critter is already a UAMCC member and Fayth will be taking over that membership as part of the purchase and will be marketing the product at events.
For the record the business proceeds will be owned entirely by Fayth with the exception of a ten percent fee we will charge her each month for financial management, site rental, and insurance management. If she is successful she will use the proceeds to expand the business and invest in future interests as they come along.
She plans on selling the Gutter Critter, as configured now, to homeowners as it was originally intended.
But, her main goal is to get it out to powerwashers in a configuration that would be more user friendly than the current fish shape.
This product will have a different name, and possibly a different makeup of parts to make it more targeted towards the needs of power washers. The current configuration removes all oils, grease, heavy metals and bacteria.
What we need from you guys who have used the gutter critter thus far is to give us some ideas of what size and shape you think would be more user friendly. For example, for our rooftop work we might make one that is shaped like a large donut to fit around roof drains on commercial building so that we we don't have to worry about gaps where the ends meet and it would be easy to sling it over a shoulder to take to the roof.
Any ideas? And can any of you guys tell of your experience with Gutter Critter so far? How long have they lasted? The indication that they are saturated is when water begins to pool in front of them without going through.
