So much work I underestimated it. Currently Petting dry wall on the walls, just looking at what is still not done yet and thinking about all the finishing with filling up the walls, screws, sanding, painting and then the floor has to be Sand and put in snd doors.

Im dead til I make this house livable. The only good thing is I have no rent costs til its done and live at my parents house

Listen to music, audiobooks and/or podcasts. Hard labour is hard. Distract yourself.

    Yep, can recommend Prohear Bluetooth ear defenders. Peltor make them too, but pricey

    Hard to put a price on hearing. That shit never comes back.

    I'm a fan of just using my earbuds inside a good pair of ear muffs; better noise reduction that way, and sometimes you want the muffs off but can still listen to whatever.

    IME what works best is sound deadening foam ear plugs, with an over ear headphone with the volume turned up. You know, big ones with passive noise cancelling.

    Cheap and if anything seems to work better than bluetooth ear defenders. (for me).
