stones below the surface in backyard

We're finally getting into the garden after three years in our Leffers Manor brownstone. We've discovered great masses of round yellow rocks (beautiful) just below the surface of the soil. Makes planting tricky. We're wondering what these stones could be. Are they part of the natural make-up of the soil? Are they the remains of an old stone wall from days gone by? Thanks for any experience/knowledge you may have.

Hello,

A posting several weeks ago gave the phone number for a great carpenter named Tamer. I've lost the number and need it again! Can anyone help me out?

Thank you. (I am in need of a skilled carpenter who can refurbish old doors and woodwork in my brownstone, as well as build new cabinetry.)

You should look into Techlighting.

They have very nice mono-spots and wall and ceiling track which you can install, then a wide selection of lights to pick at your leisure.

The electrician can do the installation job, and you can pick or change your heads ( the lights) later.

I like very small, unobtrusive lighting and wasted a lot of money until I came upon techlighting. I think their website is www.techlighting.com.

Hi there. I'm also interested in taking a look. You can e-mail me at weeezb@aol.com (Note there are 3 e's. w-e-e-e-z-b@aol.com)

Thanks.

I went to the salon once, but questioned the sanitary conditions, I have to say.

I am one of those who would love to see a restaurant row develop here. A good Italian restaurant would be wonderful. A good specialty store with cheeses and breads, etc would also be quite nice.

Enduro is packed every night and indicates there is great potential here.

Hello 9:31.

Where did you go to get your doors completely rehabbed? I have the same kind of doors that are in the picture, but they need work.

Thanks.

We have doors that might work. They don't look like this--they only have glass at the top-no iron, and they need some refinishing. I would be happy to send you pictures if you e-mail me: lindsayallen.la@gmail.com.
