Did you manage to determine what the source of the noise was, megnmike? We have the exact same issue happening with ours: Carrier furnace; wasn’t always making this noise; the sound is not whistling or whooshing from the vents or whirring/grinding from a failing motor, but a distinct musical tone (a high C#, in fact :) ) that is loudest when in the furnace closet but permeates the entire house through the vents (loudest in those closest to the furnace itself). I’ve tried removing the (recently replaced) air filters and letting the unit run just to see if they were loose and creating harmonic resonance, no dice. I’ve tried removing the unit’s cover and letting it run, just to see if that was somehow creating a vibration or airflow issue — no dice. I have our guy coming to take a look this week but, like you, I’d like to have some idea of what the noise could be as I find that helps troubleshoot with more accuracy. Would love to hear what you came up with!

My first house had a pocket door that was installed in 1952 and is still functioning fine. It just depends on the quality of the hardware. The rollers and track in your pictures look to be good quality and substantial. Hopefully the lubricant will resolve this without having to open the wall. If you continue to have a problem, remove a strip of sheetrock so you can better inspect the action of the rollers. This might help resolve things without doing any more demo than necessary.

Yes, they were probably zapped by the most recent cold spells on Thursday-Saturday nights, when overnight temperatures dropped as low as the mid 20s or in early March when they skidded to the low 20s. Maintain the soil as evenly moist -not dry but not soggy either- as you can & with 2-4" of mulch around the drip line to minimize any further temperature extremes to the roots from cold temps or hot temps in the summer. The plants should should develop new foliage "soon" but probably not as fast as you may want to (2-4 weeks). If you have not done so yet, delay fertilizing until after your average date of last frost; for example, for Blairsville, that would be around the last week in May. This frost would not kill the plants but it leaves the foliage looking quite ugly. Some hydrangeas that bloom on old wood now have invisible flower buds so resist the temptation to clear the foliage away by pruning stems. It is ok to cut the petiole string that connects a leaf to the stem but delay any plans to prune a stem until you can confirm it is really dead and the chance of late frosts has really passed, especially in the mountains. If the flower buds were already opening like some of mine are (they look like tiny broccoli heads), they may have been zapped (when killed, they brown out; when only slightly injured, part of the bud browns out). In the future, you can try to water deeply before the cold temperatures arrive, mulch and use heavy blankets or frost cloth to see if they can minimize injuries. Winter protection can also help but it is hard and maybe impractical to apply it as late as April. Note: make sure that any 'heavy blankets' will not weight enough that they may break stems. Speaking of stems, wait until May to prune any stems that do not leaf out. When I was living in Atlanta, I would wait until mid May or later... depending on the weather for each year,,, if we were still hitting the 30s overnight. However, from what I remember, overnight temps in North Georgia should be mostly above 42F now and if this holds for a long enough period, the risk of another frost would be low... but not impossible. This incident may reduce bloomage this Spring season but you should get bloomage from the new growth that ES produces this year. The frost may have zapped some of the old wood invisible flower buds typically located at the ends of the hydrangea stems. Hopefully, few flower buds where killed and hopefully the "back up" flower buds are viable and will open instead. Annabelle-type hydrangeas would not be affected by last Friday's frost as it is too early to be developing flower buds but a rare, stray late frost later May might. CMs will also leaf out again after a pause. They do not need as much water though so you can just water when you feel that the soil is dry. Be careful out there: today is a very low relative humidity day in several areas of Georgia so there are high fire danger conditions.

My assortments of old electrodes are giving me some “needed reminders” and good practice. 1. Experimenting is good but when you your body is changing, Go With Known Winners. 2. That is my Old Lincoln and 1/8”- 6013 or 1/8”-7011 on my level and needs. 3. Some old rods were stored better than I thought from the recent production w/o heating. 4. I am finding my Old Lincoln and 1/8” 6013 are giving me my best production as 99.9 of my experience have been. 5. I am Modifying My Project BBQ-Grill for who knows the # of times 1980 - Yesterday. The Top’s End View shows the tank it started from. 6. My goal is to enjoy some “Quick Cooking & Heat W Family “and Friends on the Patio and move it back to Car-Port Storage. 7. Recent Mods = Rem Grill's Rear Fire Box and Adding Temp Wheels X moving on Grass to Concrete. Looking at the Rear Fire Box's attachment I'll Re-think a Track to Add Tank x Slow Cooking (Plus, get the Off-Set Wheel to the correct side). Not having a Dedicated Shop Cause too many Quick decisions...
