What do you guys think- is this a good approach??

Hi,

If you don’t mind, would it be possible for you to let me know your work schedule so I can try to work my schedule around it?
I know it’s not your fault and you don’t do it on purpose, but those hardwood floors in your apartment make every tiny footstep so loud, and I can’t read, watch t.v., nap, study, etc. because your hard shoes on the floor sound like someone is pounding a hammer through my ceiling.
I don’t mind leaving the house while you are at home. I know there’s nothing you can do about it. I’m not mad at you or anything- you can’t help it that you have hardwood floors and I have a thin ceiling!

I’ve tried to think of what might help this situation that wouldn’t cause you any trouble, and the only thing I can come up with is to work around your schedule.
So, would it be possible for me to know what days you’ll be at home so I can pick up a shift or do something else to get out of the house?

Thanks so much, no hard feelings.
