How to Stay Sane With Loud Construction Noise

Nobody likes loud construction noise, but if you are in the middle of a noisy mess, here are a few tips for staying sane and not pulling your hair out.

 

Music: keep calming instrumental music on in the background to give your brain something other than the loud noise to concentrate on. Your brain is adept and blocking out certain noises.

 

Create a calm room: find a room in your apartment that is furthest away from the sound and create calm room. Hang fabrics to absorb the outside sound and rearrange your living room furniture to stop the sound before it even reaches the room.

 

Talk to your manager: If all else fails ask your manager. Every city has certain rules and regulations about doing construction work, so ask you manager to make sure the crew is doing everything up to code.

What Areas To Clean For Getting A Deposit Back

If you are moving soon, start planning on getting your deposit back. The key is to leave the unit as close to its original look as possible. Managers will not deduct your deposit for normal wear and tear, so your cleaning doesn’t have to be Cinderella like. Here are a few tips for getting your deposit back.

 

Stains: wall and carpet stains are not a part of normal wear and tear so be sure to clean those areas thoroughly.

 

Take your trash: Do not leave anything for your manager to throw away because apartment’s typically charge disposal fees. Check the balcony, garage and any other areas where you might be forgetting something.

 

Remove nails: a few small holes won’t get your deposit deducted but a lot of them will. Be sure to remove all nails, thumb tacks or anything else in the walls.
