Reply #18: Here's the dumbest part of his using a leaf blower. [View All]

The only trees around here are palm trees. That's it. And it's not like anyone ever has huge piles of palm fronds lying around. It just doesn't happen.

So when he has the leaf blower going, he's blowing sand off of his driveway. I'm not talking about lots of sand either. I'm talking about an amount of sand that you could maybe fill a small bucket with.

The guy is just obsessed with the machinery and "doing work." I guess that's a guy thing, but the least he could do is find a hobby that doesn't make noise that intrudes on everyone else's life. For instance, my dad paints. No one has ever been awakened by the sound of a paintbrush.

I'm sorry to hear your wife have to deal with that crap when she's trying to sleep.
