None of that it's going to help much. You need a true sound barrier a true sound wall. Actually there are types of sheetrock that you can buy that are expensive but it's perfect I've used it in rentals but nothing will be better than a staggered stud wall with no contact but then you have still noise over the talk and under. I've insulated a lot of apartments in my life. The next best thing of course is the arrangement of the rooms kitchens should be back to kitchens and generally a living room to a living room bedrooms always on the fathests side of the house. The common party wall should ideally just contain the stairs and a hallway

And there's so much propaganda and misinformation about this and all propagated by the lobbies of the power industry and public service of New Hampshire, for years and years. Whenever it would be brought forth Just for consideration it would be shot down. This is the difference between a well-run government with broader powers and a very conservative GOP government that lets everything be determined by the corporate interest and the market. It would have cost money to have done it and it would have been an infrastructure investment such as the interstates, Water and Sewer and any of those larger projects that take brighter Minds and commitment to do the right thing. But overhead power lines function sort of and Aesthetics never played much of a role in the US. Of course the larger argument would be to have uninterrupted service and possibly not the need of certain types of linements. Maybe there wasn't Union resistance as well I don't know. But it was never thought thoroughly through with any sort of push for the greater common weal.

We all become inured of the ugliness all around. But when you go to a nice place especially South of the Border in Massachusetts where there has been more commitment in villages and in urban spaces to reduce or put completely below the tangle, you might not at first notice what makes the place attractive. But then you stop and look and you realize they no lines no telephone poles no ugliness. But it's all about money and it's all about cost at this point and everything is thrust back to the consumer on the local level. Goffstown six or seven years ago we did their Main Street which is probably traveled 114 cuz there was no bypass and took such Flack over the Pedestrian bump out and the slowing of the traffic through the village. In America it's all about moving the audible deal first everybody else is fucked, who lives on the side. It's only an engineering consideration rarely rarely no never aesthetic and again. But even here with a spent all that energy and money private and Federal they could not get enough money to take the electric poles down. Still in ice or on the Main Street even though the rest of the pedestrian build-outs and Landscaping is more pleasant but still marred by Third World Electric connections

I travel a lot, spend a fair amount of time in Europe even in Eastern Europe where I still have some distant family and I'm amazed even in for poorer Poland most of the lines are buried. Go figure. Just a matter what you want to spend your money on and what is the most important thing. How you spend your dollars speaks volumes to the values especially the cultural values you share. There is no free lunch

Well unfortunately it's far beyond the governor and it's an undertaking that should have happened way back in the 50s and the 60s. But business like it just the way it was and it was always such enormous resistance and misinformation. Germany after World War II mile by mile, kilometer by kilometer slowly buried everything. The countryside looks beautiful and is none of this crazy bullshit. Nowadays it would involve a surcharge into tax and you can imagine how people would go fucking nuts with that even though this would be something that would truly benefit all of us

Well of course not and it's the same story over and over and over again every year, Every Storm and millions and millions of dollars lost in revenue of potential income and cost to repair it all not to mention The Butchery of the roadways and the trees. God forbid, God forbid, that there would ever be the will to bury the power lines mile after mile to end all of this insanity. Whenever I go to Europe and then I come back, it looks so goddamn third world with power lines everywhere

Oh I know there's lots of retail jobs in town and out on the strip

How much work is there in Portsmouth? The backbone of the place used to be the shipyard and that was always contested exactly where that lay for tax purposes. I remember Portsmouth in the '60s when it was a complete dump like Newburyport and Salem. How it's also changed. I also remember the horrible Urban renewal on the west side when the small Italian neighborhood and it's Victorian buildings was demolished. It would be interesting to know how many employment opportunities , in numbers Portsmouth offers at the moment.

What's your point that makes just a lot of crocodile tears lol. I think anybody understands this, except for perhaps the most basic rube, . Yeah he is sitting on his assessed value, net worth and not necessarily on a gold throne, well actually maybe some are,. But almost everybody's like that who has a 401k or lives in a house lol on a more modest level or has a business that they profit from. Just a very different scale.. But as you said he has plenty of cash, and things do get liquidated, estates do get settled and cash does get transacted. Ultimately the rubber does meet the road

Park overnight and in the morning hike Flume Liberty for the best perch,then south of the notches for beer and victuals

Plenty of juiced enhanced images for sale to show how it was. Or of course you could just stay farther south and find the exact region that is exploding with beautiful color when you are in New England

Yes it is a nice photo and it's nice to see photos that are not color steroided and jacked enhanced as sometimes they are especially with foliage. The natural color is fine just the way it is. Nice job

Yes I've been to CMC for several procedures and there's never a religious push at all. It's completely invisible to the patient if you don't want it and I also have nothing to complain about. I can't say the same about the Elliot, but there you go. I don't know but as soon as it difficult thing and when you need it you need it

Thank you for the correction

That is the well-known Frankenstein trestle. It is named by the way after the listed 19th century artist Godfrey Frankenstein who was trained in the Dusseldorf School tradition and who immigrated to the US in the early 19th century. At this time, the White mountains attracted many of the early romantic artists coalescing the romantic luminescent School of painting expanding uponthe Dusseldorf landscape style in which they had been trained... Crawford notch was a popular place to paint. The fantastic colors and the rugged natural scenery, and of course the relative accessibility from Boston or New York garnered much enthusiasm. This particular phase is called the White mountain School and had many famous participants from Thomas Cole to Albert Bierstadt. It is related to well known Hudson River School and was influential and establishing American landscape studio and plein aire painting. Many of the best known of the 19th century artist started here, before the opening of the Great West and accessibility
