She said that she was hearing noises in the wall and in the attic and claimed that it was "rats."

I guess the question is: does this, in addition to a noise reduction, make the wall a positive value for the home?

Keep grinding...

LVP isn't practical in upstairs apartments because it doesn't dampen noise like carpet would.Aside from flooring, the next biggest problem is landscaping followed by appliances.

Just grind it out. 

Keep grinding.

The academic life was good but it did not prepare me adequately for the real life grind of 80-100 hour weeks slaving away at top-tier banks. 

This will put it all together in one email a day and will keep your “white noise” manageable.

When it is done in a couple of weeks😅I bought it for the equvalent of 250000$ and i have put in a new bathroom, new ceilings, grinded and painted the floors, taken down all the old wallpaper, and put up new glassfilter.
