I saw these at a recent openhouse, there are several units all with these renovations, i thought they were pretty well done and dont require any board approval. Corco has it listed at a lower price on the web. $1.8

I'm with the What. Leave those nice old unrenovated brownstones alone!

Bob, I remember this poster. Here's what he wrote more than a year ago:

"I am in the mindset to start renovating old rundown buildings into beautiful brownstones, and need help with steps to do so *ANY HELP*?"

That's some mindset.

Must be difficult getting this brownstone renovation idea off the ground. Maybe that's why no one else has tried this before. Hopefully, if he does this, he will write in and tell us how it went in case others might want to try this too. I, for one, am curious.

Oh, and by the way, oldtimers know that the neighborhood's real name is Asshat Hills, not Asshat Hill.

What a mindset slopefarm. maybe there could be a website or two devoted to this here-to-for untapped concept.

Wasder, now you're cooking. Love this website idea. Maybe some reporters who cover the real estate beat along with a little preservation, land use and plain old house-lust, and forums where people write about their experiences in real estate and renovations and debate the relative merits of recessed lighting. It'd probably be popular! Freaking brilliant.

I prefer the gorgeous-but-neglected brownstones Asshat Heights, myself. Asshat Hills is already chockablock with strollers and audis.
