My shop is a 32'x48' pole barn with 10' walls, I have insulated the walls with 2" styrofoam. The power hammer is a smaller one with a 24# on one side and a 65# on the other. I keep a 10' sliding door half open when working for ventilation.
The house is only 20' from barn and I don't run the hammer at night or I wake the wife up. :shock: However the closest neighbor 600'+- has told me several times he can't hear me working.
I think Hollis has a good idea with the trash can.
