My bedroom is in my neighbours house.

CrazyRabbit

It's true.
Last night I drilled a hole in the ceiling of my living room so I could feed a cable into the bedroom above. The hole was drilled just 3cm from the wall that divides my home from the neighbours. However, the hole appeared 7 inches from the wall when viewed from the bedroom above, and I drilled straight up.

The upside to this is that I have a slightly larger bedroom that I really should.

...or the neighbours living room is in my house and I've a slightly smaller living room that I should. The bastard!!!!

Just drill your neighbor and forget about it.

Cleansing fire is the only solution.

There's a big difference between 3cm and 7 inches...

...So i'm told.

Maybe the walls are different widths to accommodate pipes and wiring etc?

Maybe there a safe behind the wall! Get a hammer and have a look, there's something hiding behind that wall.

My bedroom is in Bono's house.

It was too big for my small house so I had to leave it out in the backgarden and then when I built an extension so I could fit the bigger bedroom in I went back out to get it and I found it was gone. Turned out Bono had robbed it and now has it in his house.

Bullsh*t. :mad:

OP is essentially missing 7 inches from his living room....not the other way around (as he tells it) so there's definetly a hidden cavity behind the living room wall.

My guess - Nazi confiscated art or little girl ghosts. Probably little girl ghosts. They come out at night to brush OP's hair whaile he's asleep.

Maybe it was built like that to confuse idiots?

Bore a hole in the wall and dangle yer mickey through it (like in Porkies) and see what happens

Maybe you could drill a hole down from the (neighbor side) edge of your attic, that way you could tell if you got some free bedroom or he got some free living room.

If the hole from the very edge of the wall in the attic into your bedroom ceiling lines up with the hole in your bedroom floor you've been done out of living room space.


(edit ..come to think of it... how could there be any difference, the ground floor walls support the upstairs walls which in turn support the attic /roof wall. is your home slightly tilted ?? .... or maybe you are ?? ...this could be a footwear related problem)

Sounds like shoddy workmanship OP.

Hi OP,

Your living room has been internally insulated probably to enhance the loss of heat from it.

This would involved cladding the sitting room walls with reasonably thick plasterboard with a foam backing.

The bedroom obviously wasnt done which is the reason for the difference in distance from the wall.

So.....peep hole or spy cam then?

Dangle your rod through the hole and jiggle it about a bit. You don't know what might bite.

Hang on a minute, this is a riddle and the OP has fooled us all.

7 inches and 3 cm are the same size.

Either im very tired and not getting it, but isnt 7 inches near 18cm?

Sounds like just enough space for the previous owner to have built a second wall to conceal the body of a child, or children. Good luck with that.

By "enhance heat loss" I assume you mean the exact opposite?

It's not the length but what you do with it, that's important...apparently.

its likely the thickness of the wall in the living room is thicker than it is in the bedroom mainly due to the fireplace in the living room i'd imagine

Central heating was installed and a pipe with a pump ran from the chimney stack to the back of the house. Rather than box off the pipe, they put in a false wall down stairs. My neighbour did the same. I just put in shelves.
