Maybe I shouldn't but I feel it's my duty to tell you that you
shouldn't use leaf blowers in your house. Speaking from experience,
they rile up alot of dust. ;/

When I was 16 I went to a concert where Heart was the main event. It was
in the city colosseum and the speaker towers were accessible. I remember
climbing into one of them during the concert. Uhhgg. Now I wonder why I
can't hear the TV when it's 3 feet away from me.
True story, feel free to share it with your son.
