Furniture hoist recommendation


Does anyone have a good recommendation for someone who could move a heavy wardrobe to the top floor of a brownstone and through a window. First floor has a balcony so it involves a lift up one floor from the backyard to an external balcony and then another from the balcony up another floor to the top floor bedroom through a window.

Attic fan and insulation


I am working through the options avaialble to improve our houses energy efficiency and reduce our heating and cooling costs. We have some old fibreglass insulation between the attic floor and the top floor ceiling. However in summer the attic gets incredibly hot. I am considering installing cotton fibre insulation between the roof rafters and a solar powered attic fan, has anyone done this in their brownstone and have an opinion on the value of this investment and effort versus the energy savings…..
