I live in landscaping hell. There is not a moment of the day when some landscaping outfit isn’t blasting with a leaf blower, weed whacking, or mowing. I have to wear noise cancelling headphones just to walk out to my car.

I have a pool but I don’t use it. It has a beautiful nyc skyline view but it can’t be enjoyed because of all the noise and pollution these tools put out.

I’ve done my best to replicate the jungle. I have huge bamboo around my house. I also live at the end of a private road so no cars or street noise.

In the town I lived in before I bought this place, I got a leaf blower ban. Took me 6 years and $150,000 of my time.
