The men on that list were asked if they like “pussy” – sorry bxgrl.
bxgrl, I didn’t say I’m a cat “hater” (and could certainly do without joining that illustrious list). Just not a cat person, and I suspect my terrible allergies have much to do with it.
I will not be here this weekend. I was hoping you would have done Bed Stuy last week as I offered up drinks at my end of the tour!!!!
bxgrl, where is Lenin on this list?
Rob,
I wouldn’t tackle sanding, either, and I’ve done a fair amount of small-time DIY on my place. Very easy to create all kinds of weird marks, grooves and scratches that will be quite noticeable. Pete of Bed-Stuy reno did a pertty good job with his floors, and some posters noticed the marks in the photos.
More importantly, I thought you were renting. You could get yourself in a heap of trouble with the LL if you sand the floors in a rental. Really, LL won’t like it even if you do a fab job. Much worse than painting. If you screw it up it could cost a lot to fix (poof, there goes the deposit). Don’t mess with your floors unless you own the place. You’re better off getting a rug.
Same goes for staining and finishing the floors. I’m a pretty mellow LL with the rental unit in my own house, and I would be freaked out if my tenant started doing all this floor stuff, even if my tenant were Bob Vila.
does anyone here have a fire hydrant cap i can borrow for a few days? i know you can get them from certain fire stations but most of the time they are really cheap about it. (those caps you put on fire hydrants when you open them to frollick. using a cap makes it legal or something) someone SERIOUSLY needs to open a hydrant in soho today!
