So, one day we were at our friends home and heard the blast from the Quarry. All I can say it's quick but it sounds like someone set off a bomb in front of your home. You home may rattle a bit but if you expect to get rocked once a month or so then you will be OK. Just know when they blast, it's really loud, yes we were in the house with everything closed when it happened. I would say it's on-par with a sonic boom if a jet would fly right over your home.
It may be OK for you but you just know it's going to happen and it's a very significant blast noise.

I guess it depends how close you are. My only experience was when we were on a Lifestyle visit at Brownwood. It shook the house like a very small earth quake. They have schedule for blasting and they let you know in advance. The thing I would want to find out if I lived near the quarry is, over time, does it structurally damage the house and how does it affect insurance (this I would ask from the insurance company itself). If it doesn’t … all is good.
