Try installing a R-2560-A casting from Neenah Foundry (http://www.nfco.com/). This is built for this very reason and is very durable. If you do call them ask for Milena Bauer. She'll hook you up.

Try Rikki Gunz (phone# 917-217-9584). He is great, cost effective, good quality, friendly, straight shooter and has a shop on St. Johns just above 5th Avenue. He helped build my sons bed and our book shelves and we are very happy.

Try Classical Hellenic Charter School on 5th avenue. They aren't bound by any particular district currently. Expanding enrollment, daily language instruction, continues through 8th grade, not crowded, and they just got a hot shot new principal from Bay Ridge. It's a great school.

Any appraisal company has an incentive in broadcasting higher valuations on homes. When getting a loan or trying to justify the price you are asking for your home who wouldn't want a company that is telling everyone that prices are continuing to sky rocket.

HMS states, "The report includes data on single- and multi-family homes as well as condominiums in neighborhoods that show both increases and decreases. The selected neighborhoods are deemed a fair reflection of Brooklyn sales, according to Sam Heskel, executive vice president of HMS Associates."

Deemed fair by who? HMS, that's who.

This means they are picking and choosing their data and MAY mean that they are purposely skewing their results to reflect higher numbers.

Having said that, even if the high number of 13% is legit, that means the price should be around the 2 million dollar mark.

Those are primo prices though. Nice wide street straddled by Smith and Court. They may have waited just a bit too long to put these on the market. Who hasn't walked by these and thought to themselves "If I could only get my hands on those buildings".
