Very clear instruction again, thanks. If my British schoolboy geography serves me well, perhaps you might get Buck Cannon to have a word with your neighbour?
One of the reasons why I moved out in the middle of nowhere. I have no neighbors and the only noises I hear are the ones I make and I own enough land that I never have to worry about anyone being anywhere near me.
Of course the oil becomes 'dirty', metal sliding on metal bushes, as designed. Are you sure its a leaf blower? Could be a hedge cutter or chain saw. I use a 2stroke hedgecutter but try not to use it on a weekend esp Sundays. How are your neighbours with your bike workshop?
This neighborhood dates back to the 1940' and 50's as an extension of the houses and tents that were built for people to live in as they fought tuberculosis. The Arizona sun was a big step in curing them. (Our neighborhood area is named, "Sunnyslope".) We have no HOA or anything like that, and Arizona and Phoenix are very pro-small business so home based businesses are pretty common. I actually have a business license and collect and pay taxes every month, so I'm fully legal. I keep a clean shop, a neat property, and do the test rides reasonably quietly. You may have noticed that I keep the garage door open even in these really hot months. That's so my neighbors can stop by and see the bikes and say hi as we work. So, so far there has been no problem. Oh yeah, they are leaf blowers. There are a couple of hundred homes in our little area and someone is having yard work done every &^%$# day of the week.
