Mosquitos
Help — I can’t go out in my backyard — really it’s ridiculous — two minutes out there and I’m swarmed and my 2yo is covered with them — I don’t want to spray chemicals all over my herbs and tomatoes, but I’m planning a BBQ on Saturday. Any suggestions that really work?
6 Room & Board Enzo Chairs
I have 6 of these chairs to go — they’re $199 each and I’ll sell them as a set for half off. They look completely new — no defects no problems, just no room for them
washer dryer for sale — must go
Ok so I have a two-year-old whirlpool duet stackable washer dryer, model #
GGW9250PW1
77 x 31 x 27
These units came with the house I bought and I had my own already. I tested them personally and they work perfectly. Some scratches on the front, but nothing serious.
Have to sell; I’ll accept any reasonable offer.
washer / dryer for sale
two year old whirlpool duet around $1000 list — need them out of my basement and am willing to negotiate bigtime
window cleaning rip off?
wtf I just got a call from my wife that some guy charged her $130 to clean the two street-facing windows and the garden-facing kitchen windows, completely leaving out the garden level. I’m so frustrated that it’s ridiculous — am I wrong? Window cleaning isn’t exactly a skilled trade — right?
metal entry intercom cover
does anyone know a good place to get a nicer intercom cover or new unit? I’d love to replace the plastic one that I have now.
Intentional Waste
I want to know what can be done about the falling-down brownstones in CObble Hill, especially the one on the corner of Henry and Congress and the adjoining carriage house. There’s no doubt that it’s a dangerous situation and after some digging, I discoveered that the owner purchased the property in 2001, put up that ugly scaffolding and has since done nothing.
What can I or we as a community do to force this jerk to do something before the building collapses or to sell it to someone who will?
I assume that it’s landmarked — would perhaps enough complaints to them force some sort of action?
I don’t want to come off as some sort of busy-body, but it’s really a shame to see such nice structures neglected. I should add that I was on a roof recently and the view from above is even worse — roof is collapsing…
Burglar / Fire Alarm?
I’m moving to a new place in Cobble Hill in about a month and I really am confused about what burglar / fire alarm system to install. My contractors know nothing and I’ve heard awful stories about ADT. I’m installing motion lights in the front and on the garden, but want total protection. Any suggestions would be really appreciated.
