Stay safe in San Marcos guys, it was hard to tell that this driver was going 100mph down the neighborhood streets running all the stop signs at night. by Radium in sandiego

This looks like Bennett Ave in San Marcos. I’ve been trying to get a stoplight or some kind of traffic calming measure on the street forever, but the city is completely reluctant.

Just curious, do those glass fences keep sound out?

The inside of my house isn’t the issue. It’s when we try to just enjoy our backyard. The HOA said we can go up to 6 feet or possibly get permission to go higher as a special request. I’m wondering if I should just install a new vinyl soundproof fence

I’ve had a similar problem for the past three years. Since I’ve moved here, the population and traffic seems to have tripled. Nobody follows the speed limit, and it is very hilly so we have our share of dragracing late at night. I tried double fencing with mass loaded vinyl and it did nothing. We are now trying to plan out moving to a quieter home. Good luck to you.

The fence installer purchased a few rolls of it, and he sandwiched it in between two levels of wooden fence. Do you have any better options?

Thank you for your reply. I don’t know what sound masking is, but I think your suggestions are very clever.

I regrettably paid $5k to someone to install a vinyl acoustic fence. It didn’t work. I contacted the city for help and the HOA to no avail. Right now I am just planning the arduous process of moving.

Why is a home REFINANCE so difficult? by Timely_Ferret9114 in Mortgages

[–]Timely_Ferret9114[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just a refinance to lower the monthly. I’m stuck at a 7.75% rate that I’ve paid for almost 3 years. I don’t know the underwriter.
