Trench

remove the banisters and spindles will make it much easier to apply. Use steel wool wire brushes sparingly and carefully. The metal tends to leave fibers in the wood which over a short time can oxidize and give your wood dark spots.

Hmmm, I don't know what to think of this. I usually blame Ted Danson for my problems, now he actually is the cause of this one.

The Article is half right, she is moving out of the building but I don't know. I saw her looking in Park Slope, but I'm sure she is checking out alot of 'hoods.

Gorgeous job, This is the kind of detail job that people see when they are looking at a house and realize how much work someone has put into their place.

He is going into construction, Sometimes it looks like you are going to make it then a dumptruck or something pulls in front. The fact that there are 3 cars in this situation makes me think you do not have the whole picture. How dare you make me stick up for bad driving and the police. This is just like that litterer blog from yesterday that myteriously disappeared when everyone turned in defense of her. Did I miss the retraction and apology?

We need a fire escape repaired (a few rungs are coming loose) -- so I, too, would like any insights on good contractors who do this work.

Thanks!
