Steel front door
We would like to get a new front door for our condo building. Can anybody recommend a place to buy a steel door, or something similarly secure?

Increase in flight traffic over Clinton Hill
Is it me or has the LGA flight traffic greatly increased over the past 24 hours (in Clinton Hill) ? It seems far noisier than usual.

We are in Clinton Hill and really lucked out with our dogwalker: Dina at

Not sure if she serves Bed Stuy, but she seems flexible and open. She and Danny are terrific.

don't use Movers not Shakers. the movers will demand over a 20% tip for each part of the move (loading and unloading). what can you do? they have all of your stuff and they can be belligerent.

Movers and Shakers were reliable and efficient, BUT I would never again use them. When we were paying our bill, and giving the four men their tip ($25 per person to move a 1 bdrm apt; less than 3 hour job), they complained that we undertipped them. Left us feeling stupid and cheap and scrambling in our pockets to come up with the 20% they felt they were owed. Then, a couple of weeks later when a different team showed up to deliver our belongings, we were all set with our 20% tip for each of them. AGAIN, they complained and asked for a bigger tip! And this was on top of the food and drinks that we provided to them. Plus....they lost several items (never heard back from mgmt. about that) and gave us a few boxes that belonged to someone else. Took several phone calls to get that resolved. Bottom line: they are slighlty cheaper than other companies, but the extra hassle from the movers is not worth it.

OT: has anyone used dina @ pawsitivelyperfectonline recently? she took care of our cats a few weeks ago when my husband and I were out of town.
we've tried contacting her to get our keys back and a week later we've had no response. she seemed super reliable so it's a bit of a mystery to us... you can email me at pesch79 at gmail dot com

Used Allied Van Lines (http://www.allied.com) - Overall, the move was really good.

Used North American Van Lines movers (www.navl.com) - Everybody was on time and communicated with me very well. They were courteous and professional.

A larger home with more than 5,000-square feet will take six or more movers 8-12 hours and is priced around $1,200 -$1,800.
When i moved house I hired Box very professional in this regard. I recommend every one to hire movers but only the reputable movers.http://www.boxyourstuff.com

Movers and Shakers were reliable and efficient, BUT I would never again use them.

It was a really bad moving experience with Movers not Shakers.
