Oh my, ducklover1 and NellaBean, we actually had Guineas at one time. They are so darn cute when they're little. Then they get bigger and start making that sound like a squeaking door, over and over and over and over and over again until you want to reach in and rip out your own ear drums. So, maybe not a good idea for this particular situation.
mamawolf544, i appreciate your comments. And way back at the beginning of this thread that i started last year, someone suggested that there may be a problem with his truck, because those fumes are mighty stinky and pervasive. There are actually a lot of trucks on this court. Most everyone has one - some houses have two or three. i suspect some are diesel. No problem with them. So i wonder if it's the close proximity, position of our driveways, slope of the landscape, or just his truck.
i did look and his truck is a Ford F-250 Heavy Duty Power Stroke Diesel. When i enter all that into google the year 1997 comes up a lot. He said it was an older truck, though it looks fairly new. Another search i found the curb weight is most likely 8,600 pounds. It's a big truck, but still shy of the 10,000 pounds that may limit his idling time.
Honestly, i don't want to tell anyone what they can and can't do on their own property (or the property they are renting from their parents). It's just irritating that he is doing excessive idling and extreme revving of the engine specifically because he wants to irritate me - and it's working!
Tall fence, pink and purple paint on their side, lovely rustic brown on our side; stinky stabbing plants and fly bags on their side, lovely smelling jasmine on our side. If i can limit the time he wants to hang out in his driveway, my job is done.
