hehe you Queensland people are funny I think Redman was surprised by the fact you had lights on during game playing? I turn mine down low to play for better rice. (I suggest you might like to use a lamp if you are dimmer challenged) From my office chair, where many a staff memeber has come to grief bowed on one knee, I reckon you've done your part. No to heavy curtains unless they buy them. Also, her having a peek through the window to check a disturbance is fine, it's called being neighbourly. Snoop also comes to mind, though.
I'm not sure I understand this but please no explanations, I'm sure there's too much information already. And don't talk to me about context - a quote is a quote
I thought this whole conversation was based at night, sun don't shine that much then you know, even if we HAD daylight savings... What do you have the light on for?
I live in a aparment complex where my computer / lounge room is right next to my next door neighbour's bedroom as well. I have never had a compliant about the noise from neighbour re TS or game sound at night. Trick is 1. Become the head of the body corporate (in my case, a company tiltled unit ==> chairman of the company) 2. Create a lot of diversionary fire! aka Rev the neighbours up and set some neighbourly fire (all my neighbours hate each other to death and thinks I am the only one holding the whole building together.... its great how a little 'misinformation' can do) 3. failing all that, get a really LOUD girlfriend / partner and convince your neighbours its MUCH BETTER for you to play computer games all night rather than staying in your bed room. :twisted:
from experience... a cheap doona/blanket (K-Mart or BigW) $20 added bonus of being able to use it for its actual purpose when you leave the rental property will MORE than sufficiently block light form ANY source :!: if it is tacked to the Architrave.... in the right place of course Not once have I been pinged for this in over 5 different rental properties... they dont check the blind architrave edges for pin holes :wink: If they have light problems then they need to modify their living space... ! NOT YOURS !
