FW: [NorthCommons] bike stolen from porch
by Ruth Ryals 08 Nov '17

08 Nov '17

Just be on the lookout, and be careful what you leave out! After 13 years of never having anything taken from our porch, a thief used serious cutters on a thick steel cable to steal a nice red mountain bike. This probably occurred yesterday or today. I'll report it to the police. Ric Bayly 31 Martin __._,_.___ Posted by: Ric Bayly <bayly(a)baywaters.net> . ,___

Help needed for an hour or so this Sunday
by Rachel Joffe 08 Nov '17

08 Nov '17

Dear neighbors, I need help to put my old sofa on the sidewalk this Sunday for it to be picked up by the trash people on Monday. And a couple of minor things after that. I'm at 5 Herbert street Would there be two strong young people who would be available and interested? Perhaps one young person in the neighborhood and a friend of his? I would pay each of them $ 25. It should not take more than a half hour but it is physical labor...Any time before 2:30 (ending by 2:30) would be great. If they need to do it later than that, I can adjust to that and change some plans. I live on the first floor and the sofa is in the front room. There are about 10 stairs from the sidewalk to the front door. It seems that the easiest would be to just bring it or slide it down the stairs. The alternative is to get it out of the back door, down the porch and down the driveway, but that seems more complicated. The sofa is not very heavy, it is an old one. Best, Rachel Rachel Joffe 5 Herbert street rfalmagne(a)gmail.com

central ac installation
by Tom Burke 05 Nov '17

05 Nov '17

Dear BVP Neighbors, I suppose it's an odd time to ask about this, but has anyone out there had a good experience with a contractor who installed a central air conditioning system in their (old) home? We're looking to put in ac, aware that it's a bit of a challenge to retrofit an old home with this. If you have suggestions appreciate them. Best, Tom Burke 11 Buena Vista Park

Fwd: [NorthCommons] Rats and DRY ICE

If you drop it into rat holes and then cover the hole, it can asphyxiate them in the hole/burrows. If you do not see another rate hole soon appear then chances are you have killed the nesting rats. Not all cities (exterminating companies) have the official approval to use it yet (as from what I understand it needs to be on the EPA's official list of "Rodenticides") but given that it is not poisonous (like the current, well, POISON that is used!) and keeps them underground to decompose, I am not sure what the hold up is. > > Anyway, just wanted to pass this along. I'm not suggesting that you do this (bc it is not yet sanctioned by the EPA) -BUT- I have reliable intel. that it works REALLY well. > > Good luck! > *Judy > > > > > > __._,_.___ > Posted by: Judy Bright <judycoppolabright(a)gmail.com> > > • > > • > • > VISIT YOUR GROUP > • Privacy • Unsubscribe • Terms of Use > . > > > __,_._,___
