Not yet but Im working on it. Its a little weird though, theres a panel of metal right above the blinds that may be difficult to drill into. One of the maintenance guys offered to help so I will ask him and see what he thinks and share with you.
It takes some grade A tools. I suggest finding someone that can do it for you, not maint. Task Rabbit offers such services.
Thats unfortunate, whomever did the construction on these unit were on the cheap side. Before I installed my sound proofing, I heard my neighbor sneeze it sounded like it was done in my apt. Walls were not done properly
and thats sucks that you have a neighbor who doesnt respect quality of life. I recommend to get sound proofing
I know nothing about sound proofing an apartment but I will definitely do some online research. Can you post what you did exactly and what you used to sound proof your apartment?
Is Kolie the office manager? I tried to e-mail her asking about how to sign up for the amenities and received no response. We want to be able to use the amenities as soon as we move in at the end of the month.
Can you list the finish of the Behr paint you matched up. The exact shade name is white? Thank you very much for the info. I love Behr paint. That is what was used in my previous apartment and it held up well.
Yeah...its a small 8oz jar from Home Depot of Behr Premium Plus, Flat Ultra Pure White UL 200. My only issue with it is the strong odor.
There is no paint. This is sheet rock. A building wouldn't have to abide by the "paint every three years" rule until 2018.
Hmm...thats interesting. Yesterday I saw one of the construction workers covered in paint leaving an adjacent apartment they were still working on and I asked what paint they used on our apartments and they said Sherwin Williams. Just looking at the walls and corners you can see where they painted over the sheet rock and left some splatters of white paint on the edges of the fuse box on the wall. I dont know much about construction but I thought sheet rock/ drywall had to be painted over. Perhaps its just primer?

I've actually had to make several complaints to the front desk about my neighbor... I hate to be that person but after midnight when I'm trying to sleep (because people do have work the next day) it's just not acceptable. If its not music blasting its the sound system from watching tv or a movie. One time he lowered the music after someone came up to give him a warning, then turned the music right back up after they left.
I've also been waking up every morning to drilling sounds above me & outdoor maintenance guys with loud walkie talkies. It's almost been unbearable which just forces me to wake up earlier in the mornings. Drilling sounds begin around 6am. Maintenance guys in the hallways are all hours in the mornings. I'm pretty disappointed at the sound proofing...
Oy! You wouldnt happen to be on the 8th floor now would you? There are some neighbors who def blast music and I love music but I dont wanna hear everyone elses lol...glad to hear front desk is addressing them. Hopefully it settles down soon.
I signed my lease tonight. Moving in on the 15th. I hope I made the right choice. The building and and amenities are amazing! I can't wait! Thank you everyone. Maybe we can have a holiday/ celebratory drinks??
Congratulations! I hope they have a holiday party.
