Wood Shutters


We’ve got a 1907 Renaissance Revival style house with a lovely bay. I would love to have
those old shutters put in, but I’m being discouraged by my contractor, who has pointed out
that the deep space in which the window is set (can’t recall the proper word for this) is
quite irregular, and that I’m in for a heap of trouble getting them to fit properly. If anyone has
ever put salvaged shutters in, I’d love to hear about the trails and tribulations.

Builder’s Risk


We’re about to start a near gut renovation on two floors. I called my insurer (Brownstone) and they said that I’d need to get a Builder’s Risk policy for the duration of the construction, and gave me a referral to another agent and a lengthy application. I suppose this is all very necessary, and will add costs, but is there any other way? I guess I’d like an affirmation from a few of those who’ve gone through the process. I will speak to our contractor about the insurance they carry as well.

Internal Move


I’ve got to find someone to move one floor of our furniture to the basement so our renovation can begin. Can anyone recommend two strong movers?
Thanks!

cat 5 connections


During construction, our contractor ran cat 5 cables from the entry in the wall down to two other rooms in a straight run. He said that cablevision would come to pkace the cat 5 connectors on the ends of the lines. But when cablevision came, they said they do not touch cat 5 lines unless you are a business. Does anyone know a electrician/internet person who could come and connect up several lines in our two stories? It would involve placing the cat 5 connectors and possibly a splitter at several locations (I think). Thanks
