Tailor


I live in Boerum Hill, I need a good tailor, I have just bought a very pricy jacket and siut. I want to make sure I go to a respectable tailor ot get the alterations done, I am nervous about leaving such a large value item at a random tailor. Can anyone recommend a very good tailor in the Smith/Court St area? I am less concerned with price, what matters is the quality of the work.

Thanks

recommend a car mechanic please.


I have burning break pads. I can smell burnt rubber when I drive and the break light is on. I had this problem a year ago and went to Pep Boys on 4th Ave. I think they are a scam.

Can you recommend a good mechanic around Boerum Hill area who you trust, have had good experiences with?

Thanks

Where can I buy gravel???


Hello, I need to level off my 22×10 back yard area to lay down some synthetic grass. In order to do so I need to lay down about 2 cubic feet of 1/4″ minus aggregate (gravel). I went to the Lowe’s and Home Depot and they have nothing of the sort.

Can anyone tell me where I can buy this stuff? Being in Brooklyn I have no clue where a rock quary might be or even if they sell such small amounts retial.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Watermellon…

Trying to carpet my stairs


Hi, I would like to carpet my steps. I have about 12 steps leading from my first floor to the finished basement. I would like to try to do this myself as it does not sound like it should be that complicated.

Has anyone ever done this job before, if so can you tell me if it is more time consuming and difficult than I think?

I would expect I can get the job done in one day or less.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

How do I get rid of Crachheads in front of my apartment


For some reason or another my buildings stoop has become a meeting point for crackheads. None of them live in the buidling, yet for some reason they always sit on our stoop. They are constantly drinking/Smoking crack and making a total mess of the area. They constantly pick apart our garbage as well. We have seen them urinate in front of the building numerous times.

I have spoken with everyone in the building and neighbors and no one wants these people around. At the same time most people are scared to do anything about it.

I have started calling the cops but they do not seem to care, even when they arrive and the crackheads are still there.

What can we do to get rid of the crackheads?
