The walls shouldn't be so thin as to let every little noise through, after all.
With that, you begin looking through the house in hopes of finding something useful. You start with the "closet" down the hall. It's rather large and, well, not quite like a cramped closet, but given that it's just packed with random crap and shelving you think it's an appropriate name.
