I think it was around $10,000 including the drywalling to cover the duct work. We only have visible duct work on the second floor. The condenser is on the roof. BGE gave us a much lower estimate but they insisted the condenser had to go in the backyard. Trying to pump cold air up to the third floor is fighting the laws of physics. I've heard from several other people who did it that way that the third floor is never really cool. If the cold air starts on the third floor then it naturally tends to fall to the first floor. We had another higher estimate for a split system but it turns out that really isn't necessary. Oh, and we put the air handler in one of the third floor closets. Getting the unit in their was a very tight squeeze. We had someone come in to talk to us about high pressure systems with smaller ducts but he said there wasn't enough space between the third floor ceiling and the attic to make that possible. We live in the 3000 block of Guilford. -Kathleen Christine Gray wrote: > Would anyone who's had central air installed in a three-storey house in CV > please send me a message on its cost, installer, possible problems. > > I am sick of lugging air conditioners up and down the stairs twice a year. > > Thank you, > > Christine Gray From jfruh at jfruh.com Fri Jun 12 00:35:33 2009 From: jfruh at jfruh.com (Joshua Fruhlinger) Date: Fri, 12 Jun 2009 00:35:33 -0400 Subject: [Chat] air conditioning In-Reply-To: <4A31D7F9.6020709@speakeasy.net> References: <001c01c9e9f6$49eac8c0$6701a8c0@crg> <4A31D7F9.6020709@speakeasy.net> Message-ID: <19E333C4-D3CD-4411-8661-26182C9BA4B1@jfruh.com> > Emil and I had central air installed in 2000 by Mann's Mechanical. > I think it was around $10,000 including the drywalling to cover > the duct work. For what it's worth, I've seen an Abell house with central air that did not cover up the ductwork; the pipes were for the most part placed in corners, and were painted the same color as the walls. They were significantly less obtrusive than you might imagine; they're obvious once you realize they're there, but it certaintly doesn't jump out at you when you're in the house that there's duct work everywhere. Not sure how much of your cost was for the drywalling, Kathleen, but it's something to think about if you're looking to trim costs. jf From jfspur at hotmail.com Fri Jun 12 08:04:21 2009 From: jfspur at hotmail.com (John Spurrier) Date: Fri, 12 Jun 2009 12:04:21 +0000 Subject: [Chat] air conditioning In-Reply-To: <19E333C4-D3CD-4411-8661-26182C9BA4B1@jfruh.com> References: <001c01c9e9f6$49eac8c0$6701a8c0@crg> <4A31D7F9.6020709@speakeasy.net> <19E333C4-D3CD-4411-8661-26182C9BA4B1@jfruh.com> Message-ID: Several Charles Village residents have contracted Unique Indoor Comfort to install central air conditioning.

As mentioned by other chat members, the cold air travels downstairs quite nicely. Both my condenser and air handler are on the roof; it's a combined unit and high-efficiency. One code issue is that if you want to have the unit on the roof, you have to have permanent access to the roof from the interior. I have a trap door in my back bedroom, but if you don't have this, you will have to calculate that into your final costs. I've done some other renovation work at the same time (as Josh can attest, hearing jackhammers!), so I'd have to check my line items in my contract to remember the cost. I''m happy to do so, if it would be helpful.

They fixed a broken leg on a wooden chair for $140. The mend is as smooth as you could ask for. We bought a Ben Franklin style chair that converts to a step stool when you fold it over. Very handy for the kitchen. The hinges broke and a board came loose, and it looked like a mess. They got it fixed for $95. They also replaced the cane/wicker on the seat of a chair for $80.

Last September we saw someone walk across the alley behind Calvert to the St. Paul side and pour gasoline over the door of a garage. We could smell the gasoline from our house, about five doors down, and then a person with us went up to it and confirmed that it was in fact gasoline. We thought this was bizarre and did not know what to do. We did not know the persons intent but were concerned that if there was a fire it could affect the whole block of row houses. If a neighbor had seen someone do this to our house or the house next door we'd want them to call the police, so we did. The police sent out the arson squad. We never accused anyone of arson but did report the pouring of gasoline. Recently we found out that the individual was arrested and held over in jail for three days, paying a $1,000 bond to get out. The police wanted to charge him with attempted arson but the prosecutors felt they could not prove it. The police/prosecutor never called us to discuss whether there was anything more than gasoline being poured. We received a letter from a lawyer, Howard Schulman, threatening to sue us for defamation because we accused his client of attempted arson. In the letter the lawyer acknowledged that his client did indeed pour gasoline in the alley. He claimed it was to kill rats. Pouring gasoline and other chemicals in the ally is itself illegal. We wrote back saying that the lawyer had the facts wrong and we did not accuse anyone of attempted arson, merely that he poured gasoline on a neighbors garage -- something the lawyer admitted. The lawyer wrote back with a draft complaint continuing his threat to sue and telling us to have our lawyer or insurance company call him. We contacted our insurance company which initially said they would cover this, but now say they do not. They say they talked to the lawyer and that he does intend to sue. He suggests we get a lawyer. Of course, getting a lawyer would probably cost more than settling the case but we do not want to settle a false claim or hire a lawyer. We see this as a legal stick-up -- the type of thing that will discourage others from calling the police when they see a crime. Any suggestions? Any lawyers or others with experience with this? Thanks. KZ -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I do not know whether barratry is a crime under Maryland common or statute law, but this state makes a lot more use of common law than just about any other state. You can easily research online any Maryland court cases involving the lawyer who has threatened to sue you as well as the person who poured gasoline, and if you find something that suggests that either has committed barratry, you may want to contact the office of the State's Attorney and possibly the Attorney Grievance Commission. Here is a link to research Maryland court cases involving both the lawyer and the person who poured the gasoline: http://casesearch.courts.state.md.us/inquiry/inquiry-index.jsp I just looked, and there are 467 cases listed involving the lawyer. The first page of them contains cases in which he was the attorney, and that may be true of all of the rest of them. Take a good look at the cases (and that will take quite a bit of time). In any case, since what you reported to the police was accurate, and since it was the police who turned it into an attempted arson charge, I cannot imaging that a judge would not dismiss any lawsuit against you. And I would hope that the lawyer and/or the plaintiff in the lawsuit would be risking a charge of barratry if either has brought other groundless suits. Also, I would second the suggestion of calling the Sun and the TV stations. Some publicity would probably be devastating for those who are apparently attempting to abuse the law here. As I think about it, it may be the case that the lawyer sees you as a likely witness in a criminal case against his client and is hoping to intimidate you into not testifying, possibly as part of a deal to drop the lawsuit.

I have no doubt that she will be very interested in the efforts to intimidate a potential witness, and she can put you in touch with the right person in the State's Attorney's office. Also, I have read or seen on tv that there are cases of people serving very long sentences in prison who have nothing better to do than to file lots of groundless lawsuits, e.g. against the jurors who have convicted them. Such lawsuits are always thrown out, but they nonetheless constitute a nuisance for the jurors who are forced to respond. Do not let them intimidate you. Steve.

I had to leave for a couple of hours and when I came back she (I'm pretty sure the cat is female) was still there. She seemed confused like she was looking for her house and wasn't sure which one was her's. The cat is small and might be an adolescent. If anyone has any guesses who she might belong to, I'd appreciate any leads. I can't keep her long because Emil is allergic and the rabbits are stressed by the constant meowing. She definitely doesn't fit the description of the two lost cat flyers I saw around the neighborhood (3-legged orange or black tuxedo). -Kathleen From william.schlegel at us.army.mil Thu Jun 25 08:50:51 2009 From: william.schlegel at us.army.mil (Schlegel, William B CW4 RES USAR USARC) Date: Thu, 25 Jun 2009 08:50:51 -0400 Subject: [Chat] Fw: One plus One Message-ID: <783FDFAC38AD406B9240603B7DB91F72@Susan> Updatres on One plus One.

But most other trash/recycling operations will be closed that day. There will be no trash or recycling pickups on Monday, July 13, and One Plus One will begin on July 14. Starting that week, those of us in Charles Village north of 25th including the north side of 25th will have trash pickup Tuesday, 7/14 and subsequent Tuesdays and recycling pickup Thursday, 7/16 and subsequent Thursdays. That includes all of Abell. If you are east of Greenmount or south of 25th, use the link below to learn your days. As originally planned, the two sides of Greenmount below 33rd will have different trash and recycling days from each other under One Plus One. Mary Pat Clarke is seeking to change that within Waverly Main Street to make both sides of Greenmount have the same days. Previously, the two sides of Greenmount had different trash collection days, and a change was made to make them the same. A map of the trash and recycling days citywide starting July 14 is: http://www.cleanergreenerbaltimore.org/uploads/files/web_map_districts.pdf Under One Plus One, each house will be allowed 96 gallons of trash per week, unlimited recycling, and unlimited yard waste in clear or labeled plastic bags (put out on the trash day). Trash must be in covered trash cans. It may not be in a plastic bag unless that bag is inside a covered trash can. Recycling may be in the yellow containers distributed by the City, by CVCBD and by several hardware stores, or it may be in paper bags or in cardboard cartons, or it may be paper that has been tied up. Recycling should not be in plastic bags. The City says that it is planning enforcement of the requirement trash be in a proper container. Don't get fined! Steve.

It is consistent with what I have heard from Celeste Amato who is the City official in charge of informing the public about One Plus One. By the way, there may be some blocks that need to make special arrangements about trash and recycling (for example where the alley is very narrow and there is not sufficient room to put out a trash can while leaving room for a trash truck to drive by it). Celeste Amato said that people on such blocks should contact her: > Celeste Amato > Telephone: 410-545-6541 > email: Celeste.Amato at baltimorecity.gov > One reason that One Plus One will not go into effect until July 14 is to give people time to get out the bugs. Some of our blocks such as mine will simply have a change to only one trash pickup per week and recycling pickup every week, and others such as yours will also have a change in where recycling is picked up. But there may be more serious changes to work out, and Celeste Amato has promised to work them out with the people affected. Steve.

Just rinse them out with soapy water and put them out with your recycling. There is some hard plastic such as crates for milk cartons, frisbees, etc. that should not go out with the regular recycling. But it can be taken to Sisson Street and put in a dumpster marked "rigid plastic." Here is a link to a web page describing what can and cannot be recycled: http://www.baltimorecity.gov/government/dpw/recycle/newsflash.php Since I have lived here, it has been a custom to paint ones address on garbage cans. I would recommend doing the same on recycling cans and bins. I have just received an email from a resident of Abell who has had two trash cans stolen. Let me add that I expect that the transition to One Plus One will not be as traumatic as many seem to think it will be. You will be allowed three plastic trash cans of the size that most people use (30-32 gallons), and that should be adequate. In other words, you will be allowed 3/4 of what you are now allowed per week. BTW, in weeks when trash or recycling day is a holiday, there will be a pickup on Saturday once One Plus One is in effect (after July 14). Steve.
