My wife and I would like to find a good lawyer, preferably in Jackson Heights, to help us get some paperwork in order: we want to draft our living wills, power of attorney for each other, etc.  Can anyone suggest someone?  Thanks!

Real Estate & Home Improvement / blown-in insulation
« on: November 18, 2008, 01:08:22 PM »
Has anyone had any success with blowing-in insulation into the ceiling cavity?  I've heard about a type of expanding insulation called Icynene.   I want to hear less of my upstairs neighbors, and was curious if anyone could recommend a contractor for this job... or if anyone know about the effectiveness of this solution.  Otherwise, perhaps someone could recommend another solution instead?

Neighborhood Chat / slow express trains
« on: May 12, 2008, 11:24:22 PM »
Hi all,
Has anyone noticed that, as of the last few days, the E or F express trains are extremely slow going to Manhattan between Roosevelt Ave and the next stop (queens plaza or 21st st. queensbridge, respectively)?  I asked a subway conductor today and he said they were under orders to not exceed 10 or 15 mph during this stretch because of track work.  It makes the journey to Manhattan considerably longer!  In fact, I wonder if the local R or V trains are even faster at this point.  The conductor didn't know how long it would last, but perhaps there is someone among us who has some more info....?

Neighborhood Chat / Airplane Noise (Part 1)
« on: April 19, 2008, 05:29:40 PM »
Does anyone know the deal with the airplane noise on certain days?  I may be crazy, but it seems that every so often (usually on a Saturday) LGA's flight plans seem to change, thus directing way more planes right over my apartment.  Is this purely wind/weather-related, or is there some sort of  schedule I should be aware of?  just curious...

Neighborhood Chat / eye doctor/glasses shop
« on: January 10, 2008, 08:38:16 AM »
Hi all,
Can anyone recommend a good eye doctor in the neighborhood?  I need a new exam and rx for contacts as well as some new glasses.  I'd love it if I didn't have to go to Manhattan for this.  Thanks!
