I could do a bit of moderation if you need some help.
Yeah they're not very good and take an age to run. I looked at heat pump options when we got a dryer and the cost savings didn't stack up against the extra purchase cost unless you were running multiple loads a day through it. We only use ours in winter so not worth it.
We got double glazing in that same house and it did help with the noise a bit.
Yeah those are a pain, I keep finding them in my compost bin.
Had something like this and it was fine but in a late 90s house and in Wellington so the wind covered a lot of noise so YMMV.
On a windless day we could hear only hear the neighbours via the windows - out theirs and in ours. Nothing except a massive party would go through the firewall.
My cousin was taken off her mother because of the cola thing.
Trying to figure out balefire in a D&D campaign sounds horrifying... would be fun though!
Sweet, sent you a DM
