[Jan huffs gently, distracted by thinking through the whole heat, light, and cooking problem. she has a vague idea that the houses' central air still works, and the electricity seems to though she isn't sure how; if this place is a ruin, where is the power coming from? she needs to take a better look at the solar panels on the roof. she isn't an electrician, but she's been around enough electrical work that she suspects that the solar paneling in this community is of a type she's never seen before.]
I wish I could put an entire house in that room and just rip out all the drywall. There are things you can do for better sound insulation. Just blowing foam in won't cut it for sound... you can tell these houses were built before all of this happened. The pipes might as well have speakers hooked up to them.
Even boiling water makes a noise! Maybe we should just find out how to do shit without nails and build a better house. Or leave.
