Real Estate & Home Improvement / Re: Air purifiers
« on: March 21, 2010, 11:27:45 AM »
If you get a good one:  yes.  The Austin Air purifier is what the Red Cross distributed to residents in the downtown Manhattan area after 9/11.   I had two in my 3-story home in Brooklyn during a major (v. dusty) renovation project.  To boot, I was a smoker, fiancee was not.  Cleared up mostly everything, including his bitching.  They're not cheap ($400-$500) nor small (about 24"x24" sq.).  But they do roll on casters and they do work.  They're not quiet when running on high...Filters are about $180, and those should be replaced every 1 - 3 years depending on the kind of air you're cleaning.

Real Estate & Home Improvement / Re: Moving to Jackson Heights!
« on: March 20, 2010, 11:05:34 AM »
After renting in Manhattan for 15 years, and looking for apartments in Jackson Heights since last spring, we just got the board approval today!

The attorneys are working on the closing date and I am so looking forward to moving into this neighborhood.

First thing I did after I learned that we got approved by the board, I wrote to Borders, New York Sport Club, AMC theater, Whole Food, and Trader Joe's asking them to consider opening a store in Jackson Heights.
It will be great if I have these dream stores here in Jackson Heights. Then I probably really won't miss Manhattan at all!!  :rockon:


Boy oh boy oh boy...Perhaps we could knock down a few affordable housing bldgs. to make room an Applebee's next to a Chili's too.  I have to agree with the other posts on here:  you should probably live here first.  Trust me: With an open mind, a little explorer spirit, you won't miss Manhattan.  And if you do, it's only a 15-minute ride away...

I use a guy named Mark.  He lives in Jackson Heights. I don't want to post his cell here without asking but his email is teedoff6@hotmail.com.  He just painted and tiled my apt and did an excellent job.

I also had the same Mark [Caban] over for a long list of "honey-do" things I just didn't want to stress over.  Great guy.  Easy-going, efficient, very professional, v. reasonable rates.  And skilled.  Will def. have him back over for a few more things.  Did I mention that he brought over pastries from his favorite bakery?  teedoff6@hotmail.com is indeed his email!
