Blown-in, spray insulation popular in the Windy City

Cold winds were (still!) blowing this winter...and it seems the insulation companies have been taking advantage. 

This the the 4th insulation truck I've seen hard at work around Lincoln Square this month.  These trucks have special machines for blown-in insulation. At least three of the crews I noticed had their tubes running straight up to the attic of their customers' houses. Last year's warm winter made me forget how cold our old houses really are!

Soundproofing

With so many people living in multi-unit buildings or high-rises in Chicago, they either find themselves adapting to the noise from their neighbors or getting more and more frustrated by it. This has led to an increase in these people calling me looking for a solution to their noise problem. As a result I've done quite a bit of research to find an effective soundproofing method at a cost that is affordable.

The magic solution is a small isolation clip that prevents the transfer of vibrations (sound waves) and literally allows me to build a thin wall (3-4") onto your existing wall that is completely isolated from the original structure. Obviously there's a lot more that goes into it, but for sake of space here, I will leave it at that.
