13>55

[becalm]

I've had a few threads on my present living situation and I've managed to overcome some issues. I'm trying to stick it out for a couple of reasons but I'm unhappy here mostly due to noise issues which I've been managing through the use of listening to white noise to block it out but it's just happening too often now.
There can be quite a bit of noise from the upstairs renters plus they chain smoke so much sometimes I have to close my windows.
A couple of days ago they went away and I thought great some peace and quiet at least BUT after doing a 9 hour shift yesterday without breaks I came home to their 20 year old son (who'd they'd left behind) partying which went on until 2am this morning.
It's not just their noise either - the neighbour has been renovating his home since I moved here with tradies coming and going all the time, today he is using a welder and cutting tiles with an electric saw.....

What can I do about my unhappy living situation

Create Harmony by Line 5 creating a better relationship with these tenants. I know that if they knew their noise was bothering me they would make more noise. If it was just one person I was dealing with it would be different but the husband is very nasty man. It's been proven to me by asking them to be mindful of the downstairs tenant (me) that they just up the ante.
I can talk to the landlord of course.

Line 6 - this line sounds like I may find a better place to live although the reading isn't suggesting a move, is it?'

I do know of a garden flat AWAY from the owners house but it would probably mean I'd have to let go of my job.

What do I need to know about moving into Sh garden flat - Hexx 22 unchanging On 'paper' it looks good but it's not.

Hi Becalm

I feel for you, that sounds like a lot of noise,
The last place I lived in before here was the same thing.

Basically, there was an empty lot across the street and things were peaceful.
Then one day the owner decided to develop it.
I won't go into details, however, everything went downhill after that, until I moved.

The angle-cutting saw you are talking about is really annoying.

What I am seeing in the cast is,
Firstly, I once read Hillary mentioning that hexagram 13 can be sometimes like a dinner party.
Unfortunately, you have some unruly guests at yours sounds like a real motley crew.

Keeping that in mind, line 5, as you say, appears to advise reaching out to someone. As mentioned, that could only be the landlord.

Line 6 - I have cast this line more times than I can count. Generally, I have received it many times about money or wanting tasks completed. It generally means to me just get the most out of the situation.

However, hexagram 55 seems to promise a better outcome or background to the situation.

In summary, maybe the landlord will not want you to move. Therefore, will try to meet these guys halfway on some level. In general, I have found that landlords know when they have a good tenant and maybe will not want to let you go.

Sorry, I couldn't be of more help, but it's all I am seeing in the cast. Somehow, you need to be in a 55 situation. (Easier said than done)

Someone needs to be head of the table with authority, and tell the rabble to keep it down to a degree.
Or I would say you will need to move as I did.
I knew I was not going to win, In the end, the landlord really did not want us to leave due to the extra money being lost. You may have more power than you think on that level.

best wishes

Sorry, one more thought, perhaps the Yi is advising you to try this. You may find it works or if it does not, your next cast could be being advised to move on.

I know moving is the worst yuk, so take the advice maybe and see if they can keep it down a little. Or maybe an inclination of when the construction will end.

Thanks Steve.
The other tenants are his relatives and although he's been supportive through my tenancy I think people just being loud in themselves and heavy smokers isn't something he can do much about, or the neighbours who are renovating
Last night when I got home from work I could see it was going to be another party night so I went and asked them to keep it down. They were very grateful I spoke to them directly and a couple of them left about 20 minutes later. It was quiet enough for me to get a good nights sleep but obviously that's just a short term thing.

 

[steve]

Yes, but at least the advice turned out correct, maybe you need to consult about more long term plans

The partying stopped and the parents haven't returned and OMG I feel like I'm living in a different home - the energy is soooooooooo peaceful.
What can I do to retain this peaceful energy when they return Hex 12.2.6>47

It looks like just try to cope with the frustration as best I can (which I've already been doing) and things may turn out better than I expect.
