The 11:05 flush

I have lived in Creekside Hills for over 18 months. In that time, I have seen the change of the management staff from one company to another. I have been pleased with the staff, generally. I have had a couple of maintenance concerns which have been addressed and fixed the first time. However, I do have the problem of the 11:05 flush. You see, I live on the second floor and I have a very nice, polite couple that live above me. The only problem is that, on occasion, they go to the bathroom. Now normally I would not call attention to this, but the evil builders and idiotic architect saw fit to run the sewer pipe from the upstairs toilet through the wall in my bedroom. Therefore, every night when that nice, sweet couple above me does their business (between 11:00-11:05) and flushes, I can hear their business WHOOSH down the pipes. Not a problem, you say. Buy a house, perhaps? Well, the point here is that when you take a 1 bedroom apartment on the second or first floors, go and ask the upstairs neighbor to flush the toilet when you are in your bedroom so you can "test drive" the sound. While you are at it, have someone walk up and down the stairs, because those are attached to the wall of your bedroom. Should you work a rotating shift, the sound of people normally walking up the stairs will wake you. So would I live here again? No. Would I recomend it to someone else? Not unless they were comfortable with the noise and lack of insulation. It's no fault of the manager, as some complain, but rather the fault of bad construction.
