ASK THIS OLD HOUSES24 / E04

Kevin O'Connor gets a decibel demo from an audiologist: a miter saw over 100 dB, a drill around 85, and hammer strikes peaking above 120. Then Richard Trethewey, Heath Eastman, and Nathan Gilbert turn a bathroom closet into a first-floor laundry for Jim and Michele, with new 20-amp and 30-amp circuits, a 2-inch drain, a relocated thermostat, and a hallway door. The part TV compresses: getting the vent, valve box, wiring, and framing to share one wet wall.
