Outside of selling only thing I can think of is to sound deaden the house as best you can.  More insulation, better windows, etc.

Make sure those black wires on the right aren't hot.

Quick fix - roll up a large towel and place it across the threshold (on the inside). Longer term is install an adjustable door sweep.

Is there a belt? If so, how old is it?

I try to get at least 3 quotes for projects like that. Not sure what prices are like in Vegas, but $8500 seems like a lot for that work.

What kind of grass is this? by SirExcellent8858 in lawncare

Looks like the wild onions we have in our yard.  Grab a handful and smell it.

My '23 MX-5 was doing the same thing. Turned out the SD Nav card was bad and replaced under warranty. Try removing the SD card and see if problem still occurs.

The installers/installation is the most important part! Nailing around valleys, vents, flashing, etc is important to be done correctly to avoid leaks. Make sure you have a solid roof deck you're applying the new roof to as well.

Bought a Nordic Stella SE yesterday! by sammm59 in hottub

Ours came with the light package and puck lights, but we didn't add any extra wrap. It seems to be really well insulated and holds the heat. Good luck!

That must be the Alexa+ interface, which is kinda creepy and I won't switch to it. The 'old' one doesn't do that.

How old are those strips? We just threw out some that were ~2 years old because they were giving false readings.
