Antique French Oak flooring


We have a stack of flooring left over from a renovation. The flooring man estimated it at about 150 square feet. It is antique french oak from Exquisite Surfaces in the A&D building. It is tongue and groove and cut to apply in a herring bone pattern. It is unfinished and the buyer has to scrape, sand and finish. Paid 8.00 a square foot. Buyer must pick up from Upper West Side. The pile is roughly four feet wide and long. Leave your email if interested. THX.

Protecting Plaster


Is there anything you can do to protect plaster ceilings from loosening and falling during construction? The ceilings are in pretty great condition but all the work is making them fragile. Is there anything that can be done to support them during the work? Thanks

I got this in my mailbox today. I already have a crew working on my place but I thought I would drop this here and let you all go at it. This Old House wants a New York project and they are taking submissions. I have watched this show since I was a young las and would LOVE to be involved. Too Bad.
Good Luck.

Marble slab grave yard?


I am looking for a couple of old, large but thin marble slabs (at least three feet by three but bigger is better.) I want to be able to look at a large range of product within an hour or so of Manhattan. I know OGT Scranton probably has a large selection but its an overnight trip really.
