A major road crosses the tracks a couple of blocks from me, and the horn starts blowing a half mile away and continues through the neighborhood.Fortunately, the city has established a quiet zone through my neighborhood.

Thanks for the feedback, I have been a residential broker for 8 years via www.SellMyBizNow.com and have brokered/for clients over 1000 deals in Texas and want to cross-over into full time investment.

If the walls are not balloon frame and there are not too many cross-blocks, we could try to retain the inner walls and inject insulation, but the more of these we do, the less it seems to save us in the end ... the cost of drywall and mudding versus an effective air sealing and application of insulation.It has also been our experience that while materials are cheaper to air seal using poly & caulking and insulate with mineral wool, the labour required pretty much make it a wash with the cost of closed cell foam.Once we confirm our plans, I'll do a full envelope model on the house and share my results.
