Cheapest Place for Glass?


I need to have a large piece of glass made/cut to go on top of a table. (28 inches wide by 70 inches tall). It doesn’t have to be fancy – just a simple piece that has had the edges sanded down. Anyone know the most affordable glass place around?

Wanted: Tree stumps


I realize this is an odd request but I need a few tree stumps to use for a project. Anywhere from 12 to 24 inches in diameter and in solid condition (not rotted or infested).

Anyone know where I might find these?

Professional spray painted?


Does anyone have a recommendation of a place I could have a large frame spray painted with a paint I can provide?

If so, any idea of prices for something like that?

(I know I could rent the machine myself but I dont have a space I can do it in without making a mess)

How to affix holiday decorations to limestone?


Wondering if anyone has the “secret” tip that will get my holiday decor to stay up without damaging the stone. Obviously I don’t want to create any permanent holes or damage. What do you do?

Knife Sharpening


Where can I have some good knives sharpened? I know there are knife sharpening trucks in Bklyn but I have no clue where they camp out and have never run into one.

Anyone have suggestions?

Rose bushes that grow well in containers?


Can anyone suggest a hardy rose bush plant that I can buy to plant in a large container? I have a pretty black thumb so something that is hard to kill and easy to care for is probably best for a beginner like me.

Thanks!

Opinions on rental price in Greenwood Heights?


Question Im posing for a friend of mine who is about to finish a small scale reno in Greenwood Heights.

What do you think a fair rent would be for a small one bedroom apartment (bedroom, living room, eat-in kitchen, bath) WITH exclusive use of the garden? The kitchen and bath are all brand new but its a pretty modest apartment in other regards. Its between 4th & 5th ave & a 3 block walk to the R train.

Ive looked at the online listings but its hard to gauge what the garden is worth so appreciate any input.

Looking for custom shutters…


Can anyone recommend a local business that makes (and preferably installs) shutters?

Ive called a few local woodworking shops recommended in prior posts without sucess. Ive been back and forth with some online shutter makers but if Im going to be spending a bundle on them, I’d prefer someone local.

Thanks!
