Free Clothesline Pole/Ladder


There were a couple of people asking about these a few weeks ago and I have one in my back garden that we don’t want. Please email me if you are interested in taking it.

Handrail Twist and Turn Needed


The previous owner of my house, quite possibly the worst DIY-er EVER, sawed out the turn in the handrail at the top of the steps and replaced it with a couple of lovely 2 x 4s. Our renovation is coming along and the stair railing is the last outstanding issue.

I’m looking for some handrail parts, esp. a left hand “twist and turn”. The few stair people I’ve spoken to – Soxco and NY Circular Stair – do not seem interested in the job.

My contractor is willing to work on the railing if I can find this part, or I can go to another stair person.

Anyone out there have parts for sale or another stair specialist to recommend? I would really appreciate it.

Diguising Mr. Slim – pics anyone?


Hi there. I have been keeping an eye on the A/C forum as I am just about to decide on a mini split system for a 2 floor renovation. I HATE the way these things look, but still feel like it’s the way to go… If anyone has come up with ways of disguising these beasts I’d love to see. Brownstoner, in early August you mentioned posting some pics. I’d be grateful. thanks!
