Staircase “Wreath”


My dad in Maine is looking for a staircase wreath–that’s the carved wooden piece that curves up and around, sometimes in place of a newel post at the bottom of stairs; often it is a two-piece carved balustrade that brings the handrailing around at the top of the stairs. Any suggestions about where to find one for a 45% angle? Thanks!

looking for house-sitter


We’re looking for somebody to house-sit our new Stuyvesant Heights home for the months of July and August. Do any of you B-Stoners have any advice about how to do this? Thanks!

neighborhood info. request


I’m thinking about purchasing a single-family in East Flatbush (42nd street between Linden and Church). I know very little about the neighborhood, other than the obvious West Indian demographics. Anybody live in that area? Can you offer advice/info. about the community? Thanks.
