Using a landscaper was much more common when I was in Michigan than here -- everyone in my neighbourhood used them there, no one does here. (Probably because of the bigger properties, and the fact it was so cheap there, and so expensive here.) I guess that makes sense. If it's those loud gas ones and they're constantly going I could see that getting annoying. But everybody in my neighborhood uses the electric ones that I can tell.

I used to have an electric plug-in one and it was terrible, so I bought a 2-stroke gas one about 7 years ago. I believe, in the interim, most of the leaf blowers have moved to battery powered ones. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ominous Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 I use an electric one to blow my grass clippings back onto my yard from the sidewalk and street. Takes longer to get the extension cord out than it takes to blow them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean something I’ve never seen is bound to annoy me much less than something I hear at least every other day (including right now arghhhh)! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stepee Posted January 16 Author Share Posted January 16 Also I should have been more clear I’m talking about gas powered ones. Electric ones may be quieter and not bother me, I have no comment on those and don’t think any laws are targeting them right now. What I see/hear around here are gas powered ones, so that is what I’m talking about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meth causes street shitting, @Biggie sees the heroin and fentanyl junkies oding in front of their kids on street corners. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
