Re: [Chat] Roofer
I'll second the endorsement of Tim Bittner -- had a great experience with him last year. jf On Mar 10, 2014, at 4:44 PM, John wrote: > A lot of my clients have used Tim Bittner of Precision Roofing.

[Chat] notice re: sewer work
I live on the 3100 block of Abell and just *today* got a flyer in my mailbox "reminding" me that some kind of sewer work is happening *tomorrow* (there had been no previous information on this subject), and urging us "to avoid the possibility of flows backing up into your properpty, please limit all liquids from going down your drain tomorrow" from 7 am to 7 pm. Among several problems here, it's supposed to be 12 degrees tomorrow at 7 am and many of us are keeping a basement sink running to prevent the pipes from freezing. Anyone have any advice? The flyer says you may "detect an odor" and that odors are "most likely to occur in buildings with dry or non-existent traps." I have no idea what "traps" are and wonder if anyone smarter than I could inform me of whether the houses on Abell typically have them. The flyer also adds that "if you have a sump pump that discharges into the sewer, it must be disconnected during our installation process." We have a pump that attaches to the basement toilet/sink that elevates water high enough so it can flow down into the train. Does anyone know if this constitutes a sump pump? If so, I have no idea how to disconnect it, though I could just unplug it, I guess. jf ___ Chat mailing list Chat@charlesvillage.info http://charlesvillage.info/mailman/listinfo/chat_charlesvillage.info archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/chat@charlesvillage.info/
[Chat] no water?
We awoke this morning to find no running water in the house. We live on the 3100 block of Abell. Anyone else in the same boat? jf ___ Chat mailing list Chat@charlesvillage.info http://charlesvillage.info/mailman/listinfo/chat_charlesvillage.info archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/chat@charlesvillage.info/
Re: [Chat] Hardwood floor refinishing
I too would be interested in this information! As well as info on how much this cost for a Charles Village rowhouse. jf On Jun 18, 2013, at 9:27 AM, D.

[Chat] yard waste bags not picked up?
Tuesday we put out some tall yard waste bags from Ace Hardware in the alley with our trash can. The sanitation workers fairly meticulously picked up and emptied our trash can (it was actually behind the yard waste) without taking the yard waste bags. As far as I can remember they've always taken yard waste in the past -- are we supposed to be doing something special with these? jf ___ Chat mailing list Chat@charlesvillage.info http://charlesvillage.info/mailman/listinfo/chat_charlesvillage.info archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/chat@charlesvillage.info/
Re: [Chat] anyone else not getting running water?
Update: Just chatted with some city water dept. work crews who are doing things at various points on 31st between Abell and Greenmount. Most I could get out of them was that yes, the repair they're doing is causing the outage and that it the outage last "not days" but "a while." jf On Mar 15, 2013, at 1:17 PM, Greg Alexander wrote: > I just drove by there and water was still streaming down the street > > > Greg Alexander > Executive Editor, STONE HOUSE PUBLICATIONS > Mason-Dixon ARRIVE | I95 BUSINESS > 410-243-3387 > g...@gregoryjalexander.com > 2629 Guilford Avenue | Baltimore | MD | 21218 > > > From: Josh Fruhlinger > To: The Charles Village Chat List > Sent: Friday, March 15, 2013 1:15 PM > Subject: [Chat] anyone else not getting running water? > > Howdy, > > On the off chance that anyone else around here is home -- does anyone have > running water?

[Chat] anyone else not getting running water?
Howdy, On the off chance that anyone else around here is home -- does anyone have running water? Our house on the 3100 block does not. Noticed fire hydrants spewing water and BGE crews out and about last night but all was well last night and this morning. About to go out to investigate. jf ___ Chat mailing list Chat@charlesvillage.info http://charlesvillage.info/mailman/listinfo/chat_charlesvillage.info archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/chat@charlesvillage.info/
