The Thunder Upstairs

Well, I seem to be having an issue with the guy living above us in our complex. You see, Jacqui and I have this really nice condo on the river in Post Falls. You can see the water from our windows. The building is one year old and has such a wonderful look. We have absolutely loved it. Until that is, a new guy moved in upstairs.

He's what we call a DB (use your imagination). I've talked with him once about his noise and he basically gave me a quick "yeah, ok" while he slammed the door in my face. The property management has been pretty much worthless to this point and we constantly are woke up by this guy. With the baby coming in a couple months I'm at wits end. The property mgmt co 'says' they have sent him a couple letters already but I'm not seeing any changes. This morning he was up at 4:30 AM. Then proceeded to stomp around for 45 minutes....quiet for half an hour then again at 5:30 and again at 6:30. So, Jacqui and I sat in bed awake for 2 hours, drifting in and out of sleep for a few minutes. We have seen this guy out at the grocery store and at the gym and he seems like he's just one of those loud people that has no sense of his surroundings. Oblivious. On the weekends we can tell when he's been out drinking because we'll get to sleep and then right around 2:30 he gets home and spends the next 15 or 20 minutes staggering around his place until he finally finds his bed and passes out. This wakes us up for the duration every time. Sometimes we think he's moving out because it sounds like hes moving furniture up there. But, after weeks of it....we figure he's just a loud DB. So, now I'm tired and cranky. Jacqui will call the PM again to complain and see if there is anything else we can do.

Ok, rant over. Thanks for listening.
