A sample of what I did - this is a room in a scary tunnel that led to a monster's lair.

This stony tunnel seems wide enough for a pair of half-giants to duck through side-by-side, toward the musty odor of decay creeping in from the south. The ground is covered with packed dirt and thick layers of red sandstone, broken and craggy. The angled walls appear to have been both mined and seared to create the opening from the east, with sharp blackened edges that hold fragments of brown-stained cloth dangling from the corners. Occasional chittering sounds echo from the high ceiling and momentary fluttering casts eerie shadows above the pale light of glowing patches of moss on the stone walls.
I also did luxury homes for nobles, created monsters with full descriptions, skills, stats, frequency of generation, did entire sections of towns and a labyrinth, created NPCs (characters like noble guards, generic citizens who walk around the city, gardeners - people who bring the game to life even though they're not actually played by anyone). I even did a bathing grotto for a noble house:

Quote:
This round underground bathing chamber has the spartan yet elegant ambiance of a well-appointed grotto. Cool grey-tinted mudbrick plaster coats the walls, while glow lamps perched on high stone shelves provide subdued rosy illumination. Lower shelves of polished wood display a variety of bathing accessories. Facing the chamber's center are long benches of solid jasper cut and inset directly into the walls, each adorned with a jade cross inlay. A vented black-domed ceiling looms overhead, its inky hue matching a pair of jasper-inlaid obsidian bathing tubs on either end of a thick braided area rug.

Gas blowers are crazy loud and blow really bad emissions. I kinda like the idea of only electric.

None of those things involve much noise at all. .
I hate to disagree with you since we've been getting along so well but if I have to use an unpowered real mower again there will be considerable amount of noise, namely me bitching.

Someone should tell the asshat down the street from me about the motorcycle pipes, he's got a Harley with straight pipes and one of the old fashioned looking golf carts that he took the muffler off of as well.

IMO should be big city ordinances not state law. Do you really think somebody in small town or out in boondocks going all sudden get rid their gas equipment when they are finding it hard just to get by.. dream world.

Are you landscaper making living? Blowing wouldn’t be necessary if customers didn’t except grass and leaves to be removed. Besides most just blown clippings out in street. Maybe just need to demand all debris be sweep up and pay the extra for it? Blower/suctioning turns hour job into 20 minute or less profitable job at cheap price.

You could always report him to the State Police next time you see him go out for a spin.

Also, I wouldn't use a non-powered mower on this stuff they pretend is grass either. It'd be like trying to rake sponges. Remember we're in a state where residents are convinced that bermuda grass is NOT an invasive weed.

I’ll just keep using power tools. If anyone has the balls to complain to me, I’ll just hand them a rake and a broom.

I think the big gas blowers are much stronger and more efficient so the landscapers most likely won't give them up until forced to. For us residential users I think the electric are great, in fact I have three different sizes of electric blowers, a backpack, a typical handheld and really small one that uses a drill battery. The backpack blower does have pretty good power but not much run time and that's with a huge 54 volt battery. I used midsize one for most yard work and the really small one is great for dusting intricate furniture or blowing the dust out the inside of your car (also great for chasing lizards out of the bedroom).

I have 2 battery blowers. 2 because the batteries don't last long and they get weaker as the battery gets weaker. I have 1 gas blower for the jobs that need strength and longevity.
