Make some noise if you’re down with me


This weekend I installed an electrical box in the closet so that I could put a light in there and then wifey and I put in insulation. Wifey is very good at insulation. I think it’s because insulation involves scissors and she went to camp as a child.

My policy is to put insulation everywhere including internal walls and ceilings. I grew up in a house wherein you could hear everything that was going on in the entire house – even two floors away – because my father decided not to insulate the ceilings. My father is mostly deaf so it didn’t matter to him but I’m sure my brothers weren’t happy to hear me giggling with my girlfriend in the basement when I was 14. And if there are ever kids in my house I don’t want to hear them talking, crying, plotting, doing drugs, or whatever it is that kids do. They all have cellular telephones these days so they can just call 911 if they need help.
