Washer Repair in Brooklyn?
Hello – I need help with the repair of a front loading Frigidaire washing machine. It does not properly rinse and spin. Can anyone give a recommendation for a reasonable repairman? I was hoping to use either Pete from Father & Son or Bank Repair. Pete hasn’t been able to return my calls (I think he may have been sick) and Mr. Bank doesn’t do front loaders (although he was very polite on the phone).
Anyone else???

Contractor Recommendation
I am writing to recommend the contractor who recently renovated our basement. Over the years I have hired various people to help with renovating our house on 47th Street in Sunset Park. Some have been very good while some have been terrible – from lousy work to downright thievery. We recently hired Joey of Beta Contracting to help with a project I had started in our basement based on recommendations from friends on our block. Joey’s estimates were more than fair, his crew was clean and trustworthy and Joey was open to any changes I wanted to make throughout the process. He is now working on his fourth house on our street and we (neighbors) all agree that he is excellent and that we would be bring him back for more work in a heartbeat. He not only did a great job in our basement but has done everything from bathroom work to tile jobs to radiator cover construction. He is open to any job, no matter the size.
I have no interest in him generating more busines except that I think it’s important to recommend good people for work. Give him a call at 646-345-6400 and feel free to email me at mileslou@hotmail.com if you any additional questions. Tell him Brian from 47th Street recommended you give him a call…

Fireplace Mantle For Sale
I posted this, with some other mantles, a lomg time ago. I still have this one left. We purchased this with the intention of putting it in our house, but have since decided against it (to go with no mantle at all).
For Sale is a great fireplace mantle with ORIGINAL beveled mirror. The mantle has great detail but has been painted a few times over the years. I’m pretty sure it is pine – it can either be stripped or touched up with a fresh coat of paint. It is 82 inches high and 61 inches wide and can fit perfectly on most brownstone chimney/fireplaces. The opening is 33 inches by 35 inches. The mirror is beveled and is original, however it is not attached to the mantle in the pictures. Price is $1000 or BEST OFFER!!

No Heat – bad thermostat?
I have not had heat in almost 24 hours. My thermostat (an old Honeywell Chronotherm) doesn’t seem to want to kick on the boiler. I have this house for two years and the boiler for one and have never had any problems until now. Can this possible be an issue with how the thermostat is set (it has fresh batteries although I don’t think that is a factor anyway) or is it time for a new thermostat? I can’t believe this is a problem with the boiler.
Any advice is greatly appreciated.
