Financing for coop investor purchase

I think that the 'comp' was that ridiculous 9MM house on Willow a year or two ago. It was beautiful; reno was great, but for my money, I can get a lot more outside of Brooklyn.

Go down to southeastern PA. The woodworkers there are amazing, and they'll custom-build your doors. Then rent a u-haul, pick them up, and have a local install them.

My landlord gave us a bunch of shingles, but any angled shim should work.

It is dead animal. BFD. Invert a garbage bag, hold nose, and collect. Use a shovel if you are a real wimp.

People and animals die all of the time -- grow a backbone!

Get a 'power roller' -- pipes paint to the roller. Paint sprayers require full masking, which doesn't work well if you have trim.

this is a great thread .

thank you all for your posts and prices. 5000 is cheap, 20,000 expensive, there we have the range. but really it depends on the amount of detail and quality and INSTALL.

those diy like me will try to pay 5 but do a huge amount of work and research and follow ups. if i had the 20 i would love to give it to a pro and not think twice. of course you have to have great refs to know you get a pro, so there is nothing wrong with spending the money as the doors may be worth it.

watch out for install and weather stripping, etc... it takes a pro to install properly, and perfect doors can be screwed up! think of your final product, especially when your locksmith blames the installer and your beautiful doors won't seal right. one stop shopping sounds attractive huh?

we are looking for a quality installer and a maybe a refinisher if anyone has a rec. and hopefully a price for 8 foot double doors with transom circa 1900. we're on a low budget but our doors and windows are really really important, like every day!

You're the guy complainging about the Chinese landlord and the mice. Maybe either the ll or the mice would be interested in ii if it's not just playing possum.

Why don't you spend your time looking for a mose free possum free apartment instead of posting your dribble here?

Objects in the picture appear bigger than they actually are!!!

I'm with the "grow a backbone" camp. Get a rake or a shovel, pull it out, put it in a bag and put it in the garbage. The longer you wait the worse it smells...and looks!!!

The original poster can't do ANYTHING without asking the brownstoner forum first.

Next time, do you need to snap a photo of your ass, and ask us if you need to wipe???

You are a sicko racist and should be banned from this website for good this next time.

A week or so ago we had a thread about the decline in "DIYing" among younger people. This is an extreme example. I couldn't conceive of actually hiring someone to do such a simple (although disgusting) job. I wouldn't even want to have to stay home and wait for the ASPCA or a City agency to do it for free. All it takes is a shovel, a plastic garbage bag, and a fairly strong stomach. What a wimp "dssguy99" must be!

Just so you all know. I picked this thing up with my bare hande because my gloves RIPPED when I grabbed for it. I put it our front of my house and now the local cats are eating it. The neighbors and my landlord are upset at me. Oh well. Soon Ill live in Park Slope and wont have to see these "people".

But why didn"t you bury it?

Park Slope residents - BE SURE TO GIVE HIM A WARM WELCOME. I'm pleased that he's not going to be my neighbor.
