Abstract: This invention is directed to a gutter apparatus for directing rain water to a downspout that is particularly adapted to be inverted to permit debris collected in the gutter to fall therefrom. The gutter apparatus includes a rod that defines a rotational axis which is supported by a plurality of fixed supporting brackets to extend along a lower edge of the roof at a spaced distance therefrom. A plurality of supports fixed to the rod mount the gutter trough to the rod so that gutter trough may be rotated from an upright operational position to an inverted dumping position. The gutter is rotated by a rotatable drive means which is operated by a person positioned safely on the ground.
