I doubt the landlord is capable of getting a clue. When he saw me getting into my car to leave the noise, he just smiled and waved, like everything was just fine. He is clueless. Does he not remember his promise?

It's very possible he doesn't. To you it's desperately important -- to him, it's not, so it could have completely slipped his mind. It's also very possible that he does, but he doesn't care. I'm guessing the latter, just 'cause most landlords tend to be, if not the spawn of Satan, at least some kind of distant relative.

I read your original post earlier in the day but didn't have any advice to add to what Melissa already gave you. I sympathize -- it's been awhile since I've been in an apartment, but in our last one we lived next door to someone who played country music really loud. I HATE COUNTRY MUSIC. Having to hear that, especially when I was trying to sleep, drove me absolutely up the wall. I was ready to commit senseless acts of violence, or at the very least grind my teeth until they were nubs.

Do you know when the remodeling will be done? Maybe if you can see a light at the end of the tunnel it won't be quite as bad. Have you tried earplugs? Do you have the hypno CDs? If you do, try listening to those on headphones with the sound turned up really loud. Are any of your other neighbors bothered by the noise? Maybe if you could get others to come with you to complain en masse he might pay attention.

I will keep my fingers crossed that he doesn't decide to work tomorrow. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.
