发帖数: 9 | 4 This is a single point steam heating system.
That object is an air release val.
If it's noisy, you will need to replace it ( or boil it in hot water to
clean it up and then put it back ). You can easily buy one at HomeDepot.
You should read some manuals about how to maintain a single pipe steam
heating system. |

My newly bought home also has some kind of tub installed. looks like an air
tub too based on your description, since it is has a lot of holes...I will
go back and check...
but air tub probably will be more noisy than jacuzzi due the air compressor
(I assume they have one?)...
I still think it can be used to dry people after shower or bath. //haha |

发帖数: 108 | 6 It is very normal. We did the same. Don't need to feel regretful. We
withdrew an offer after we felt the house is too noisy (on a corner lot).
The house were put on market soon and sold in less than two months. Now we
found another house that fits all our needs. BTW, your deposit should be
fully returned since you haven't signed your contract. My agent told me you
can ask full refund even if you are in escow and is less than 17 days.
Either carrots or cabbages, everybody buy what he/she likes. ... 阅读全帖 |

发帖数: 102 | 7 100 PSI maximum is not enough for hard hardwood like cherry. The compressor
will have to be on all the time (very noisy). In addition, you may need 100+
PSI to drive through nails to the right depths.
If you want to save money by DIY and want to save again by buying cheap
tools, you will regret later. That is my lesson I have learned.
DIY requires quality tools. |

发帖数: 220 | 18 请教，明天 close，可是今天被告知 basement 进水。下午去房子看了，
2／3 basement 地面被水覆盖，1／3是完全干的。靠近sum pump地势较低，
积水稍多。seller是 relocation company，雇了个人在清理积水。我的agent
还是一个劲地催我明天close，说这不是什么问题。并说，他们把设备留在
房子里继续吹几天后再拿走。
我总觉得别扭，买个房子，放个noisy的东西在basement里。 请教各位，
什么算是flood ？我这样的情况是否严重？对房子有多大影响？将来
我卖房子的时候是否要disclose房子进过水？我的agent说不用，还让我相信
他的话。
明天，估计双方的agent都会威胁我，准备找律师了。原来由于我的原因，
loan推迟了。因为我还想买房，对方也没有纠缠。到现在也没有offical
remove loan contingency. closing day 推迟了10天。明天final walk
through,现在是肯定不想 close，在考虑是否要backout. 担心我的 earnest
money 是否会被扣。

发帖数: 9932 | 19 forget it. If you want to move because of school, rent an apartment and then
buy a house far far away from bar, especially sports bar. If it is a tiny
tavern, perhaps only a few lonely guys drink there but a sports bar with a
parking lot is very noisy. |

发帖数: 1530 | 20 r u buying near big metro cities?
based on the fee you are buying, I guess it is the case.
For the fee, I'm assuming it's a relatively new construction.
so my suggestion, don't go to 1st fl. Never ever get on 1st fl,
1.people walking day and night outside your window.
2.you sure you will even get sunshine on 1st floor?
3.when you resale, 1st is always harder to sell.
Don't worry about your baby being noisy, if it's relatively new and concrete
construction, I don't think 2nd fl residents will ev... 阅读全帖 |

发帖数: 836 | 24 情况： 看中一个condo 450K, 星期一下了offer接受，星期四结束attorney review，算是签了
发现： 因为要求五天内交5%的deposit, 重新研究了这个condo
1) GYM刚好在apartment的头顶上，有跑步机，等等，所以可能会很noisy
2) 正对窗户要开始建两个大高楼，会挡住很多view
3) owner的地址不是这个apartment的地址，是一个POBOX
现在很想CANCEL，下个星期六inspection, appraisal
什么是最好的方法cancel ? 现在就和buyer agent， lawyer说？
估计inspection, appraisal, HOA agreement都是CANCEL的理由
求建议，还没有和buyer agent, laywer讲
觉得应该尽快，否则对seller也没有好处 |

发帖数: 145 | 30 As I said before, if engine noise bothers you, you are not mowing with the
right safety precaution. Power tools are supposed to be noisy. More power
more noise. Like airplanes. You cannot make a quite airplane engine. For
your protection, always wear googles ($1.99/two pairs) and ear muffs ($2.99,
at Harbor Freight Tools). Noise will not be an issue. |

I feel that American Standard outdoor unit is noisy. Do you feel the same?

发帖数: 2719 | 40 a friend of mine has Wolf, and it is very nice and powerful. The downside is
that it is expensive (over >$2K) and noisy.
If you don;t particular care of brand name or brand matching (if you also
have WOLF cooktop or overn), I would suggest you to get Kobe.
I have Kobe at home, it is equally powerful as the Wolf, but a lot quieter.
The price is also around $800 - $1K, much cheaper than the Wolf. Wolf is
made in the USA, while Kobe is made in Japan. |

it might damage your hearing |
