Hey John,



We do own a fairly substantial house but there is no such thing as a low traffic area within when the boys come home for Christmas break. This place becomes a 24/7 hub of activity during the best cool down period and gets very loud at times.



The walls are a foot thick, the exterior of which is slump block filled with vermiculite for insulation. For the past several years, I've used the garage as a hibernacula but one of my son's bedrooms is off the back of that and there are the lights on all night, the cars coming and going, etc.



Going to try the coolers this year with some custom shelving and very close scrutiny. Have a couple of moving blankets that I can throw over them to buffer the effects of light and noise. Will post some pics of the arrangement when I get everything in place, probably the latter part of next weekend.



Thanks!
