The only way I’m going to remodel my house is with enough cash to do it. And working extra hours is my only option to make that happen, even if it means 9-10 hour days in a factory then coming home and working on the house.
& I wouldn’t ever tell my boss this but it’s easy to roll into the shop at 6 AM and drink some coffee and sit around and bullshit a bit before starting the day.
It’s easy to say a union issue while removed from it but union jobs are few and far between in this type of manufacturing. Almost everyone I work with is pretty non-union, or are young kids right out of school. I mean there’s really only a few bigger panels shops in this whole city.
I’d probably agree with you on a more philosophical level, but reality is often different.

I’m running a couple dozen docker containers on unraid and I only have one NVME cache disk, it’s 256 GB. I have only have 76 GB filled on my cache disk, the majority being attributed to Plex with things like movie trailers, temporary storage for torrenting, etc.
Just wanted to give you a heads up that 1 TB and a 2 TB NVME drives may be a bit overkill unlesa you’re trying to host a lot of VM’s
It would be nice to have curtains that absorb street noise.
Some custom curtain tailors offer a fabric that claims to be soundproof. It’s a little pricey. Not absurdly pricey, but it’s also a bit hard to be confident that such thin fabrics can absorb much sound (they claim 20%).
I would prefer to try hacks. I’ve heard that thick furniture moving pads absorb sound well. I’ve also heard that fiberous fabrics can be effective. For the moment, I probably want to pass on edgy ideas like egg cartons. Maybe later on those. What fabrics are decent for reducing sound? Specifically, I’m wondering about carpets or painter’s drop cloths. Not the simple white canvas drop cloths, but the thicker drop cloths may out of recycled fabrics.
I live next to a bridge with heavy traffic, a river, and train tracks on either side of said river. Thankfully the train only comes by once or twice a day on our side, but constantly over on the other one.
I got used to the noise relatively quickly after moving in, like maybe a month or two. I’m used to city noise though.
That being said, my eventual plan is to get some heavy wooden window shutters. I figure I can close them up in the colder months, and it should block some noise out. I do keep the windows open in the summer though, no A/C here.
Get on my mindset grindset, peasants. ( sh.itjust.works )
