Bar Design
Any recommendations on a service or designer who can help us design a bar. We will use a trusted carpenter to help us with the actually construction, but we will need someone to help us with the plans and design for the bar itself.
We would like to optimize price and quality so not looking for an award winning design, but something tasteful that will fit well in a turn of the century Brooklyn Brownstone.
Please suggest any recs that you may have.

What Does Bed Stuy Need?
Question to all current Bed Stuy residents or those interested in moving to Bed Stuy. What types of goods and services are lacking in the neighborhood? Specifically the area around the Utica Train Stop (Stuyvesant Heights). Where would you like to spend your money but can’t because those things aren’t offered in the immediate area?

Butternut Market
DIBS – I think that you mentioned that you were involved in this venture. Would you care to give us an update? I saw some signage on the corner of Macon and Stuyvesant the other day. Is that your new location?

Plumbing / Heating Recommendation
I just wanted to pass along a recommendation for a plumber / boiler guy. His name is John Livingston and his company is Rhino Mechanical LLC.
Our boiler had completely shut down on Monday night and John was able to come over and fix it at 8 PM (and he DID NOT charge any outrageous emergency service fees!). John is very knowledgeable and charges very reasonable prices for his work. I highly recommend him. I would be glad to serve as a reference.

Take my Spider…
A very creative way to get Mr. Bill Collector off of your back.
Nothing to do with real estate (well not directly), but quite funny…enjoy

Gas Line
I am looking for a recommendation for a plumber to connect my dryer to an existing gas line. I think I need about 10 feet of pipe to make the connection (plus all the applicable plumbing joints). Since this is gas, I need a reliable, certified plumber to complete this job.
Any suggestions? Nothing exists in the archives on this subject.

Landscaper Recs
Following on Mr. B’s recent garden posts. Can folks recommend landscapers to redo my townhouse backyard. The space is about 25′ X 40′. Currently half is concrete, the other half is a raised dirt bed.
I would like to get some plants and such in quickly in order to enjoy it during the summer.
Any and all recs would be helpful. I have already called DIGs and they are coming to give me an estimate, but other recs would be helpful as well.
Thanks All!

Furiture reupholster
We are in the process of decorating our new purchased townhouse with period antiques. We found this great sofa from the early 20th century that we desperately need reupholstered.
Can anyone recommend a well priced furniture reupholster in Brooklyn. I need to emphasize WELL PRICED after our recent purchase we don’t have a whole lot of deposable income!

Insurance Recs
I would just like to see who people have used to insure their Brooklyn brownstones / townhomes. I have contacted AIG, Chubb, Fireman and State Farm. State Farm, a reputable company as far as I can tell, has by far the lowest premium.
Is there really significant added value with the other more premium insurers?
