I'm planning on digging out 10 sq yds of dirt from backyard and wanted to get a dumpster. Anybody recommend a good company? I called Atlas Roll off and it was about $500 for 5 days and they said they take care of the permit. Anything I need to watch out for? Any advice really appreciated. Thanks. More»

Hello, I have a pipe in my cellar that leads to the front of the house. Below you will find 3 short clips. Can anyone tell me what this is being used for?
1. Just a video of the pipe - http://goo.gl/uouyM
2. Tracking the pipe inside the house (cellar) - http://goo.gl/fm0GD

I walked by DIG on atlantic this weekend and checked out their website. Seems like they do fairly extensive yard renovations and plantings. I am in need of a fairly major overhaul (new hardscape, planters, plants, possibly a fence). Has anyone used them for anything similar. Anyone have other recommendations?

Hi all-
We are living outside NYC (out of the country, actually) and are interested in selling our brownstone. Has anyone been through the process? Any advice? We told the broker we were planning on working with, and he seemed a bit stumped...(We know we have to be present for the closing..)
Many thanks!!

I inadvertantly purchased an extra left hand, white, 60x30 Kohler Bellwether tub (cast iron). It is brand new, still wrapped and at my construction site in Fort Greene. Rather than deal with shipping it back, I'd love to sell it at a discount ($475). You pick up. Email knewirth@gmail.com if interested. More»

HBranty asked about this. My showers are shaped to fit the space available. This is a larger bathroom, but I waterproof the whole room, so the position of glass panels and doors are also configured for the best use of space in a smaller bathroom. More»

I am seeing what I think is a small amount of sap dripping onto the floor in basement closet. Inspect the beam I can't find the source, though tat's one section of that's not in gret shape, and warped. Late winter the radiator above leaked a significant amount of water which came down on the beam. Could the water cause the old pine to drip sap?
Thanks for any feedback. More»

We are replacing street-facing windows this year. The rear was a breeze (used Lucky Window Products (LWP) / Robert Basile) and the windows look beautiful and weathered the winter well. We went with Trimline's Eclipse model, wooden interior, aluminum exterior. Since we're landmarked, we have to go with all wood windows this time for the street-facing windows. Two questions:
1) Wewant the least obtrusive method possible. Our home is finished and we don't want to live through the mess of a brick-to-brick installation and don't see the need for it eith... More»

We are installing anaglypta wallpaper in our home (taking out the original anaglypta which was gouged in many places) as part of a gut reno. My contractor will be painting the whole interior of the house, but I've been advised to get someone separate to do the wallpapering (while we're at it - any recommendations for that?). I am wondering - does one need to take special care in painting over anaglypta or does one use the the usual methods of painting on regular walls? Just trying to figure out if I am going to need to hire someone separate to do that to... More»
