....and I can't stand it. We have common hot water baseboard heat and I
have caulked around all water pipes. There's no insulation between the
ceiling of the condo below and my hardwood floors which are covered with
wall-to-wall carpeting.
Crazy idea: Taking up the carpet and putting a layer of Tyvek under the
padding? What do you think?
Any other ideas?
Thanks in advance.........


Here are all of my crazy ideas:

Remove all baseboards and seal up cracks btw wall and floor. Do the same
with window and door casing. Reinstall baseboards & casing.
Install airtight seals onto all outlet box and wall switch plates.
If you really want to be thorough, remove flooring down to subfloor, caulk
all cracks, caulk around pipes, etc., paint subfloor with primer and install
new floor.
Increase the air pressure inside your condo somehow. (This is how hospitals
isolate rooms.) Your condo might be sucking air out of downstairs unit due
to depressurization. Or find the source of depressurization (e.g.
fireplace, range hood) and close it or somehow provide a makeup air supply .
