LOL Gleni! Wouldn't that just try the patience of my neighbors. I tend to keep my music in my earphones rather than over speakers.

This house is probably the most interesting and satisfying house I've had in my life. Very old, all stone and concrete, with 20'+ ceilings and large rooms. It was a ruin when we bought it 7 years ago and it took a year to renovate. The modern stuff (plumbing, electric, water) is all new and pretty well hidden and we were lucky to find an old ruin that still had its original cedar doors and a lot of original tiles. It was made for this climate and stays routinely 20° cooler inside than out. Sound doesn't penetrate the walls well (neither does wifi though) and so it is cool and quiet in the middle of a hot, tropical city.
A day without sunshine is like, you know, night.
