Well the animals are staying, but I have to build her a new barn for them, we think it will be cheaper to build her a new barn than to build me a new shop. As far as spray on insulation, I don't think so I have heard it is expensive. I am doing this on the cheap, as much recycled materials and cheap or free as I can. I think Thomas's idea of trees around the shop will help some. But I suspect that the noise it going travel a bit, and that I will need to watch how late I forge in the summer when the neighbors windows will be open. Though my wife can sleep through me forging right now and the shop is 10' from the house:-) I suppose it is very much like living right next to the train tracks;-) after a few years you get used to it...
