my husband and i bought our condo 2 years ago, we are on the 2nd floor and have people above us and below us. The ppl below us just moved out which is sad b/c they were lovely. The girl living above us is nice enough but she is truly an elephant, but probably weighs about 110 lbs. i have asked her to keep her shoes off while walking around and she was good about it for awhile but now its started up again. Plus, regardless if she has shoes on or not, we can still hear the thumping, heel to toe walking. She recently got into a relationship and the squeaky bed at 4 am is NOT ACCEPTABLE!!! I even asked her if she wouldn't mind trying WD40 on her old boxspring to maybe make it less noisy. The problem is that we both own our apts and there is not management company to complain to and we can't just break a lease. The most frustrating part is that the developer assured me that he insulated before rehabing the building and we bought it on his word. BS!!!!!!!!! I am willing to spend the time and money to fix the situation and maybe drop our ceiling and add more insulation. BUT someone who has already done that please advise me...does it work??? Help! I am a professional sane person who is going out of her mind!
