When Life Is Noisy


The new house included a pricey washing machine. The owners complained it made “the most horrific noise and walked all over the place—the banging and vibration was loud and scary.” The general contractor and architect concluded “front loaders vibrate more than toploaders.” 

After a month, the contractor agreed the vibration was excessive. He braced the machine by nailing wood all around it. This made it worse.

Three months later, the manufacturer sent a technician who found the shipping bolts were never removed.

When life is off-balance, loud, and scary, the problem might be very basic. Rest, exercise, diet, priorities…shipping bolts.
