03 Jun '11

FULTON ELEMENTARY GARDEN Thank you to all who responded to help bring back the Fulton Elementary Garden. (Check your spam folder for an email from me.) Here are dates and times to begin work there for anyone who is interested: -Monday June 6 at 9a -Tuesday June 7 at 6p Please bring your own tools. Someone wrote back about using plastic utensils with indelilble ink to mark the plants - wonderful idea. Mr. Patrick, a long-time teacher at the school, is making copies of photos of the garden when it was in its glory. He may be able to join us for some insight on Monday morning. Looking forward to meeting any volunteers, and if you can't make it at the above times, there will be other opportunities later in the month. See you in the dirt!

Hi Everyone, I have a closet door that's broken (came off the hinge and the hinge broke off) and would like to find someone who can fix it. Do carpenters do these types of jobs? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! thanks Aarthi Aarthi Padmanabhan, M.S.

[Highland Park] need suggestions - porch ceiling refinishing...??
by msranders 03 Jun '11

03 Jun '11

Has anyone refinished their porch ceiling? We have a knotty pine porch ceiling that had a lovely finish, but now is peeling and quite weathered from a serious of roof leaks. Now the carpenter bees have found the vulnerable wood - yikes! When we had our floors refinished, I asked floor guys about it, and they didn't really latch on to the idea of doing a ceiling. What sort of contractor refinishes porch ceilings? Thanks for any help! If I get a good list, I'll re-post! - Mary

Anyone have any advice or input...I currently have Traveler's for my auto and home insurance and am considering changing to Liberty Mutual for the same coverage but better price. When I look at the company reviews online most are bad for both companies so I can't find this too reliable. Does anyone have any experience with either company and any opinion which would be better to deal with? Thanks!!! Susie

Hi All, Does anyone have a heat pump brand recommendation? There is a lot of conflicting information on ratings online. Thought a recommendation from someone living in the same climate conditions might help. Thanks Lynn
