They are mowing here too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-love-hate-relationship-with-our-apt#post-488483 Tue, 08 Jan 2013 11:55:49 +0000 LindsayInNY 488483@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@RunsYellowLites - We live on the 2nd floor above the garage (it's a 26 floor building). The garage is silent but they put the dumpsters either in the driveway area or (lately, thank god) in the street. The city we live in does overnight pick up which is 10 or 11pm to 7am or so? They pick up by us anywhere from 5:30 to 7am. It's SO annoying! Then the maintenance guys insist on bringing the dumpsters inside right away which involves rolling them over the drainage grate. We don't even have a LO yet and I've complained before, LOL! Ugh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-love-hate-relationship-with-our-apt#post-488474 Tue, 08 Jan 2013 11:53:20 +0000 runsyellowlites 488474@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LindsayInNYC: Oh I didn't even mention that one... The dumpster in right here too &amp; while it's great for DS &amp; DH to easily take out the trash the trunk come 2-3 times a week and yes, it's always at naptime! Pfft!</p> <p>We're ready for a house! lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-love-hate-relationship-with-our-apt#post-488467 Tue, 08 Jan 2013 11:51:01 +0000 LindsayInNY 488467@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@RunsYellowLites - Oh geez. They should do loud things after breakfast or something to avoid nap times. Note to self for next apartment, LOL! We're moving in a couple months and after dealing with garbage pickup outside my bedroom window twice a week for 2 1/2 years, I'm definitely making sure there will be no garbage nearby once there is a LO! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-love-hate-relationship-with-our-apt#post-488448 Tue, 08 Jan 2013 11:45:46 +0000 runsyellowlites 488448@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LindsayInNYC: I actually feel kind of bad b/c they moved next door &amp; our neighbors (friends of ours) have a lo too that's a few months younger than P. Oops. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-love-hate-relationship-with-our-apt#post-488442 Tue, 08 Jan 2013 11:44:10 +0000 LindsayInNY 488442@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@RunsYellowLites - That's awesome! If only all management companies were that nice :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-love-hate-relationship-with-our-apt#post-488432 Tue, 08 Jan 2013 11:40:42 +0000 runsyellowlites 488432@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LindsayInNYC: I just updated my post.... after asking, they said they were able to do another area for a bit. =) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-love-hate-relationship-with-our-apt#post-488418 Tue, 08 Jan 2013 11:35:14 +0000 LindsayInNY 488418@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Unfortunately, they probably have certain times that they're permitted to do those things (aka after 8am, for example) but likely only work until 4 or 5pm. Can't hurt to ask them to wait but they might not be able to =/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-love-hate-relationship-with-our-apt#post-488331 Tue, 08 Jan 2013 11:12:35 +0000 runsyellowlites 488331@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We live in a pretty great apt for our area and they do a good job of keeping up the grounds and promptly taking care of maintance tasks which is GREAT!</p> <p>What isn't great is that it almost never fails that when the do mow outside our apt it's naptime, OR like this morning where they are replacing some of the outside pieces of siding and banging away right under P's window. Yea... she's still not down for her nap &amp; tbh I don't blame her, they're loud!</p> <p>They've been at it for awhile so they should almost be done. If they don't wrap up soon I may ask them if they can wait till after lunch. =/</p> <p>ETA: They started doing the 2nd story area the "wall" RIGHT at P's bed, which included some loud saw noises as well as banging.</p> <p>I did manage to get her asleep, rocking &amp; nursing, so I laid her down &amp; asked if there was any way they could hold off for 1/2 an hour... They said no problem! Atleast I know she'll get SOME kind of a nap now!</p> <p>And as crazy as it sounds.... I probably would've never asked had I not dealt with my lovely recent jean drama. Yay me! </p>
