I live in an apartment building with 4 apartments (2 upstairs and 2 downstairs). The one below me has been empty for about 3 months now.
So, now my landlord has decided to renovate the place. Now, this man does not work at all so he has all week to work on this apartment when we are all at work. Does he do that? No. He chooses to work on it on Saturday and Sundays. He is knocking out walls, hammering out cabinets, pounding out and hammering and banging. UGH!!! How rude that he chooses the 2 days I have off from work to just try and relax and watch some TV and just find some peace from the hectic pace of the weekend.
I am so infuriated with this man. He knows how sensitive I am to noise. It isn't just a little minor inconvenience to me. I am highly highly sensitive to noise. It really causes me major stress and anxiety and he knows this. He just doesn't care. I think it is just so rude of him.
I know that this is not a life and death situation. But I wish you guys knew how stressful this is for me. I just want to cry and my IBS is going into high gear from the stress and anxiety this noise causes me. And there is nothing I can do about it. And I have no idea how long this "project" will be going on. Is every weekend going to be like this for me? I won't make it. The last apartment took him months to complete, but with that one he had men working on it during the week, not the weekend.
I just don't understand why he chooses the weekend when he has all week to do this. He told me he can only get help on the weekend. Well, where are those guys who did it for him before during the week.
I don't know what to do about this. I cannot live in this situation for the next 3 months. I will not make it emotionally or physically. That's how bad it is for me. Everyone has things that cause them stress, which is so bad for our IBS. My number one stressor is NOISE. What am I going to do, guys. I am so upset and I can feel the tummy churning already. I am getting myself all worked up as I hear him down there banging and banging and banging....And for the next 3 months or so this will be my weekends? I won't make it. My IBS is going to be out of control. My nerves are on there way to becoming shot to hell. I am freaking out and feel so out of control of the situation. I don't know what to do or how to make this better or how to cope with this now.
I know you all must think I am blowing this all out of proportion. But I just cannot explain how stressful noise is to me. I have like super heightend hearing nerves or something.
Please, can anyone offer some suggestions on how to survive the next 3 or 4 months? I am desperate and in panic mode over how my body and my mental state is going to react.I'm already losing it, if you can't tell.
Tina, you probably understand the noise thing. Can anyone offer some suggestions? Like I said, the landlord already knows that noise is a real stressor for me. He has already told me that he has to do this on the weekend when he has a friend to help him. So I don't know if talking to him would do anything but make him more upset with me for complaining. What the heck am I paying him so much rent for? Not to live in a construction zone. First it was one apartment 6 months ago, and now here we go again. Except this time it is right below me, so all nois is 10 times worse. UGH. I hate my life!!!
