I live right across the powerhouse and walk across the power house art district very often. Seeing it everyday from my window, I can't help but hate the building in front of me. I live high enough to see the top of the building and it is a complete mess. I would rather prefer to see some green space or even just a regular residential building there. is it even commercially viable trying to develop the building into some useful structure? Tear it down if all people do is to wait until the inevitable happens.

Just paid my first property tax but I forgot that the property tax here in JC is paid in advance or arrears? Does somebody know?

Thanks.

I have been trying to change my old dirty carpet to bamboo or hardwood floor for my 200 square feet bedroom. After talking to home depot and lumber liquidators, I figured the price for labor would be close to $1000 ( $3 per square foot for minimum 250 feet quote plus molding and possible some other things). This is much higher than I expected.

How much do people typically pay for labor? Does anyone have some good installer to recommend? I want to check out some local guys before having to go to the big retail stores.

Thanks
