lol should probably get that off my sig. Haven't used that domain for almost 5 years.

I come seeking wasteland advice on a neighborly dispute I'm currently having.

Myself and a friend moved into an apartment about 4 months ago and we noticed that the people who live above us often empty buckets of water onto the floor of their balcony, which quickly seeps through the floor and ends up on our belongings. ($200 barbeque, $300 furniture set & an $800 wooden foosball table imported from Italy.)

There have been a few occasions when we were outside and they have done this and our stuff and ourselves have gotten wet. We have tried to yell out to them to ask them to stop, but here's the catch... They are deaf.

Last night after being out with some friends I came home at about 2am and there was water going everywhere all over our balcony. All of our stuff was getting really soaked. At this point I wrote a note saying "Hello, could you please stop emptying your water onto our balcony? It is damaging our belongings that are below you. Thank you." and put it under their door.

This morning I had a note under my door saying "Hi, sorry, it's our toddler's little pool used during heatwaves. Move your things in a bit! If it was lashing rain, same thing would happen! We only did it twice and we only empty the pool over night so take your things inside or move stuff further."

The thing is it has not been hot for days, our balcony is tiny so we can't move stuff over and I can't take the foosball table apart to fit it through the door every time they decide to empty a pool onto us. I have a feeling that if I try talk to them in person they will ignore us because they are deaf and not very friendly. I have a feeling that if I write another letter explaining I can't simply move our stuff and it has not been wet when it has been lashing rain it may start a cat fight.

How would fellow wastelanders deal with this same situation?

i'd probably draw a dick and balls on a piece of paper and nail it to their door and throw a bucket of water under there

I say ep 2, but I meant ep 12 :P.

I used to watch it before it was cool! /hipster

Best part of when I discovered the show though, was the fact it's while all the other 'main' shows (standard sitcoms) are taking a break

Pisscus under their door (Google it)

Suits. One the greatest shows ever.

And yes its public watchable, its not rude/nude... Just office sexy with a few of the minor characters.

I tried watching Shameless at the gym on the treadmill 24" touchscreen things and it's awkward when you're panting and sweating profusely while watching the Emmy Rossum banging... everyone.

Immature approach: Start a fire on your balcony, high enough that smoke/flames pass through/up onto theirs. The choking/burning will soon make them write a note to you. Then tell them to just move their kiddy pool inside, cause it's only for really cold nights...and hell...if your place caught fire, then theirs would get scorched anyway.

Mature approach: Speak to your body corporate, assuming you have one. Oh and play loud subtitles at 3am, they'll quickly get the hint.

    • Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.
    • Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.
    • Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?
    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
