Why is there always chainsawing outside when I am here during the day?
Whenever I am home sick, or working out of home, no matter what the weather...somebody is outside with a chainsaw. OK, this neighborhood has a lot of trees...but come on.

It's damned annoying.

1. My neighbor uses the chainsaw on twigs
I've seen him do it.

At least no one has a leaf blower....

4. That'll probably pick up soon as well...
I'm moving soon, so this is a short-lived rant. Still. Today, it's annoying.

3. in our old apartment, the lawn care people
would get there and start working at 7 AM. Lawnmowers, hedge trimmers, and leaf blowers all going. And we had ground level windows.

:grr:

...which we had going here when some neighbors moved in down the street this summer. Drove the dogs bat-shit (if I may mix species).

But I agree - highly annoying and you have my sympathy.

9. EVERY Sat morning at 8:00
my neighbor is running around on the roof of his house with a gas-powered leaf blower to get the leaves out of the gutters. Before the leaves were hitting the ground, he was using his chainsaw...yep, 8:00 on Sat mornings.

...the GOP "Healthy Trees Initiative."
