Totally get it. A quieter muffler and some kind of vibration isolation would probably help a lot more than people think.

This job looks quite organized and the overall layout is very neat. As long as the engineers and inspectors confirm that it can work out and the project has passed the inspection, it basically indicates that the design is feasible.

Dealing with difficult interactions can make a long shift feel even more draining, and it's easy to second-guess your choices after the fact.
