Looking for Plumber
I’m looking for a plumber. I have contacted two plumbers recommended by friends — One didn’t even show up, the other one turn down the job as too small.
I have a small bathroom that does not have a bathtub. Just a very shallow shower basin. I need someone to remove the shower basin and install a small tub (the space is only 58 inches long, so it needs a special short bathtub).

Where to find small bathtub?
I have a small bathroom that does not have a bathtub. Currently it has a very shallow shower basin.
The bathroom is small and the space is only 58 inches long. I have been told that standard bathtubs are 60 inches long.
Where can I find a shorter bathtub that can fit into my space?

How to heat a room addition built on roof top?
We live in an apartment building. Our apartment has a roof top bulkhead that we would like to use as a family room. It is not connected to the heating system in the resting of the building.
It would be difficult and expensive to connect to the heating system in the rest of the building. Any heating solution would have to be electrical.
What are the best ways to heat a drafty roof top bulk head?

cost of renting vs. buying per NYTimes
This past weekend, NYTimes had an article talking about how bad things could get in the this Economy (“Uncomfortable answers to questions on the economy”). This quote caught my eye:
“From 1985 to 2002, the average American home sold for about 14 times the annual rent for a similar home, according to Moody’s Economy.com. By early 2006, home prices ballooned to 25 times rental prices. Since then, the ratio has dipped back to about 20 — still far above the historical norm.”
New York obviously is quite different from the rest of the country. Where do you think this ratio has been for Brooklyn?
