White Noise for Window Installation
What could you do with an extra couple hours?
I think our landlord got tired of paying a carpenter to not fix the leak in our bathroom. Our apartment had gotten incredibly drafty, and not in a good way. In an apartment sans air conditioning, closed windows are not okay. So, when we did try to open the windows, we had to use our entire bodies to muscle it ajar, only to find them gaping open, a veritable death wish for our 2 small children who know nothing of mortality, as well as ourselves dreading having to close them again. So, long story not so short, we got new windows! Thousands of dollars worth of new windows. (Fingers crossed that our rent won’t go up…wishful thinking?) Anyway, the guys came yesterday to install said windows…right when it was my 2 year old’s nap time. I’m not sure about you, but massive amounts of hammering window frames, breaking glass, and loud drills are not exactly conducive to good sleep. I kid you not, I turned on the white noise, and the kid was out! 3 hours and a million drills later, I woke him up. I don’t think it’s possible to completely drone out drilling and hammering a room away, but the way white noise works allowed his brain to ignore it. In all honesty, I don’t care how it works, as long as it worked. I can do a lot in 3 hours.
