My friend wants to deaden sound in his basement and is wondering if that pink hard foam insulation will deaden sound enough to avoid noise calls from the neighbors(Loud music!)
Well, what is one of your favorite memories together? If you were eating at a restaurant, then recreate the dessert she had then, or something like thatMaybe her favorite childhood dessert? I'm sure as long as you make it with love (as cheesy as that sounds) she will think it's specialI'm so sorry, and praying for you guys :( No one deserves cancerXOXO sending kisses your way
What DOES she like? Very hard to suggest anything when all we know is what she doesn't like, and it's hard to see how someone here would know what she would like if you don't know that.
What does she REALLY like that isn't a cake? What's her favourite fruit, and what can you make with that in it? Sorry but it's difficult with so little guidanceAnd let's hope this doesn't turn out to be her last birthday so you can make it again for another special day!
It will only deaden the high frequencies - like cymbal crashes - somewhat Bass or kick drum sounds will still get through to their house by being conducted through the ground Cover the windows, if any, first and use more than one layer A softer insulation, like fiberglass, would do a much better job, because rigid insulation tends to transmit sound from one side to the other fairly easily Ever tap your finger on a slab of styrofoam? - it behaves just like a sounding board! Rigid foam does the same thingTo really do the job correctly, you'd need to build a room within a room, use real acoustic insulation (heavy barriers layered with soft material), and suspend it on vibration isolation devices, like air bladdersVery expensive.
So sorry to hear this news!!!! If your mom has been going thru chemotherapy, then most likely she's suffered from sores in her throat and mouth as well as bad or chemical tastes to everything she eatsIf its past that point or shes' using alternative, less toxic, methods to control her cancer, then perhaps she would like something that has been a favoriteIf she's not into traditional cakes you might want to consider a Boston Cream PieLooks like a cake, is easy to make, and luscious to eat! Have never been sure why they call it a pie, but.Another alternative might be a nice trifleI've made several and one of my favorites is gingerbread with pears and a luscious lemon curd-cream custard fillingI've also made them with brownies, whipped cream and crushed toffee barsYou might also think about an ice cream cake dessertYes, you can get one from Baskin Robbins or another place, but you can also make your own, using your favorite flavors of cake, ice cream and saucesAnd speaking of that, take a look at the recipe for ice cream sandwich cakeVery yummy! Good luck, sweetie and here's wishing your mom a great birthday.
