![]() ![]() These sounds generally don’t last for more than a few weeks. As the wood adjusts to the position change, it may make popping or crackling noises. If your home’s foundation has been raised and leveled, the joists and framing will move. If the foundation shifts, the joists and other wood framing posts and beams also shift, whether by slanting or bending. These wood joists would have been straight and perpendicular to the foundation. ![]() When your home was constructed, the builders used floor joists to support the subfloor beneath the first floor. However, the time after repairs are made is the best time to start thinking about how to prevent future issues with your foundation and/or basement. Now what? You might think this is the best time to grab a coffee, flop down in the recliner and put your feet up, secure in the knowledge that nothing bad will ever happen to your foundation again. Even now, the boy swears he could still hear it faintly in his left ear.You’ve had the cracks filled, the wall anchors put in and the foundation lifted. Mournfully, he couldn't help but wish he had these headphones when the alarm system blasted throughout the school. Nodding to himself, he got to his feet, dusted himself off, then ran on silent feet to where the man should be stationed at this particular hour. If the headphones could survive Present Mic's screeching, then they should hold up for what he wishes to use them for. He mulled it around in his head for a bit, then came to a decision. If he arrived at the stadium and found out they didn't work, it would be too late by then. But aesthetics was not what he was after. Better safe than deaf.Īll around, they came out pretty shabby once he added the other wire connecting the two. He created a nice padding around the form, then went over it with an extra layer. Wrapping the fabric around the wiring, Izuku grabs a sewing needle (snapped in half for him to easily use for projects such as this) and with gentle care, the young borrower slowly works the thin string into place. About half was already cut into small pieces for him to continue with, while the other half was neatly tucked away for future use if the need arises. The cloth he had worked so hard to get (and very nearly got killed over) laid off to his right. Bulky would have to do, because he really did not want something firmly pressed against his ears all day long. although it might be a bit on the bulky side, Izuku mused as his eyes swept over his project. He placed it down and did the same process to the second loop. Though considering its size, it was too small to be considered one, even for someone like him. ![]() When Izuku was finished, the loop now looked bowl shaped. Some string to his side was grabbed and small hands wrapped where metal touched metal until they were tightly knotted. He turned the loop and fitted in another stick of metal to crisscross with the first. Izuku fiddled with it, testing the object out and nodded in approval before sticking the other end of the metal in between as well. A finger hooked itself on one of the loops as he jammed one end of the metal stick right in the middle, the pressure allowing it to stay put. Then he bent them just slightly, so the sticks would curve. The loops were placed down as Izuku went about cutting off small bits that were just a bit longer than the diameter of the two circles. Maybe if he wedged the extra pieces into the loop? That may work. But it can probably get away with cutting some strips and using strong string to tie them together. They'll still need more metal to frame into a bowl shape, he acknowledged. Paperclips may be one of the flimsier metals the young borrower could get his hands on, but it still hurt to try and bend it down too much. He hopped away from the handles and picked up the new loop, adjusting the newly cut edge down where it was needed. When he was satisfied with the result, he placed the loop down between the two blades of a pair of scissors and put his strength into squeezing the handles together until the younger borrower heard a snip! He narrowed his eyes down at the loop and decided to make another to make sure it was properly reinforced. He squeezed it farther, rounding it until it was the size of his palm. Izuku bent the flimsy paper clip metal until one side touched another. ![]()
