You know, as a contractor what really bothers me is how simple the 'slamming door' issue is to fix. There are small 'self-sticking' cork, or felt squares, available at any hardware store that are usually used as replacement 'feet' so project boxes don't slide around and scratch the furniture.
If it ever comes to a mediation meeting, I will suggest this. According to the reply to my last email, the neighbourhood manager is in contact with the ombudsman's office. Unfortunately, the reply did not provide any more specific information.
Yesterday was the flat viewing appointment: The flat had less thin walls, but the noise from the very busy road just behind the house was too much (and I don't want to keep the windows closed all the time). So I'm looking for other flats that will hopefully suit my needs better. That's why I'm having a face-to-face meeting with my caseworker on 5 August to make it clear to her that my extreme sensitivity to noise needs to be taken into account when proposing flats (putting me in a large building with umpteen flats and probably very thin walls is counterproductive).
