A day in the life of the Quieter Home Program

It is so refreshing to have a job where every single day is a new adventure. In the Quieter Home Program at San Diego International Airport, we are guaranteed to be surprised, entertained and educated on a daily basis. We have the pleasure of working with people in the communities surrounding San Diego International Airport. Click this link to find out all about the program and to see if you live close enough to the airport to take part in it.

You would be amazed at the people we meet. The other day, a lady stopped in our office to sign her Avigation Easement and was telling us stories of when she was a “Rosie the Riveter” working on aircraft here in San Diego during World War II.

We hear stories from people who are retired from the Navy, with the most amazing memorabilia from their travels. We hear about so many aspects of people’s lives.

We also experience some challenging times, too, especially when homeowners’ expectations aren’t in line with the reality of what the Quieter Home Program offers. We hear some interesting language that sometimes makes us blush!

Each day is something new. Some days are challenging, but when we meet happy homeowners, we’re grateful to have such rewarding jobs.

Over the next several months, I’ll be sharing some of these rewarding experiences with you, such as:

• Video interviews with homeowners
• Construction tour of a home (like the one pictured) undergoing sound attenuation
• The 1000th Home Party!
• Sound Insulation 101
• What is a Historic Home?
• and more

So stay tuned!
