Other Forced to sleep in garage, how to keep warm

talk to him, your letting agent or landlord. Paying that much money i would expect to have a decent nights sleep.

Tell him to turn it off or you'll break his legs. Simples.

 

I lol'd hard.

 

Ha Ha, you being out partied by some one older than you

sounds like a guy id like to make freinds with, sounds like a fun guy.

 

^dickheads hang with dickheads lol

 

Seems that kids cant keep up these days.

I assumed it would be you with your gaming keeping him up.

However if you have a job to go to, i think you need to have a word, taking a stupid fighting attitude is wrong.

Maybe you should just tell him that your nopt happy,

the bloke above me is a dick head, oops wrong game, thats for the person above me game.

 

find a quad core computer and a GTX480 and fold with it, that should keep you nice a warm for a long while....jk....but not really



If my room gets cold I'll fire up another core in F@H


BTW you situation really sucks

 

I'm not going to question the situation, sometimes you gotta do things you don't like. What the first few replies on here say are correct - you want to raise yourself off the floor. Concrete will act like a big heat sink and suck all the warmth out of you. That coupled with lots of layers will keep you warm. If you get to hot you can always strip off a layer but once you are cold its game over. Perhaps an electric blanket if such a thing exists?

 

Electric blankets are quite nice and not that expensive, about $40 online

 

/me chuckles - I meant within his household. I knew they existed. The_Beast you deserve a pint for that one.

 

Sort the flatmate out, taking legal action if required. In the meantime, break his computer when he's out (to stop him playing) and buy a pair of earplugs.

 

This.

In the mean time, if you have a desktop PC leave it on all night. I've found that my old Lian-Li case with its multiple 80mm fans is enough to drown out most unpleasant noises in dodgy accomodation....

A constant drone is much easier to live with than intermittant sound effects.

 

That's quite true. I think anyone who's been to a LAN party could testify.

Good god, the noise. It's like background music for extraterrestrials with a different hearing range.

@OP, you mentioned that you want to avoid any conflict: so have you not mentioned it to him at all, ever? Because honestly, it's really easy to annoy people without knowing if they don't tell you. People suggesting combative approaches may have overlooked this. The guy probably isn't aware of being any trouble at all.

 

Get a cheap set of over ear cans download some static noise or some thing you can listen to quietly whilst you sleep. That way you should be able to drown out the disturbance. Could you get an old sofa/sofabed in the garage? Free cycle is a good bet. If not then a single mattress is a good bet with tin foil covered board underneath it.
When you go down there put some thrash metal on loud and lock the door? If he won't play fair when you ask nicely, change the rules.

 

you guys crack me up
