If the architect was acting as the construction manager or was responsible for hiring the subcontractors or approving or recommending them it would be easy. If not mistaken, the architect fee is based on percentage of total project cost so the higher the sub bills, the higher the architect fee. If the flooring contractor was acting as the general contractor ( unusual but I have seen demolition contractors act as general contractors) then he would do all the hiring of subs. However it was done, the idea was, if you want this job, inflate your bill to the client and give the overcharge to me.

Well in that case, let me clarify a few things here. Wanda is definately not a ho. That flashy dressed man is not necessarily a pimp. The mayor is only a social drinker. Gabby hayes, Roy Rodgers and Hopalong Cassidy were NOT gay. Lieutenant Dan is not a dot com billionaire. Or is He?

OK that's it. I didn't realize there were so many lifers on this board. There is strength in numbers. We're takin over. Yuppies, go take a hike.
Yeah Meyers was a nice old fashioned ice cream parlor, all wood paneled, tin ceiling, mirrored and big marble soda fountain. Another further north I think called Soul's (or Havemeyer ?) is now Ceviche if not mistaken. If you went to Silvers you must be 100 yrs. old. Cheap Sam, now THAT was a store.

Of course the official name for the place was "Tippy's Charcoal Haven" . Had a soft serve ice cream place on the side and I seem to remember they had a pizza section for a while too. Another soft serve place was Rands at the top of Newark by Dickinson.

Bickfords cafeteria in the Square. I remember the little bowls of mashed potatoes that were extruded like Mr. Softee with one pea at the top like a cherry. Very intriguing to a 3 or 4 year old. Also Liss's drug store, Woolworth, Kreske, Grants lunch counters. Weirdest of all was the Texas Weenie joint across from the police station on Central.

Please bear with me. I was following this debate but I must have gotten distracted and lost my train of thought. Let's see if I got this straight. Al Gore used the Egyptian and Roman tax money to invent the internet and that is why we have the one strike you're out policy which is applied unfairly due to the beaurocracy in the Song Dynasty? OK, I think I'm up to speed. Carry on.

The street cleaning sched. is posted on the signs on the street. I would look into the resident permit, if the PA says you need one then definately get it for $10. Don't give the police or PA an excuse to ticket or impound the bike. I have seen bikes parked on the sidewalk chained to trees or fences. It doesn't bother me but if someone complains the authorities will be compelled to take some action (ticket, impound). The best and most neighbor friendly place to park a bike is a small space between two driveways or prohibited areas where a car couldn't fit if there is such a spot on the block. It really pisses people (me) off to see a bike take a whole parking spot on their block.

Actually, it's the police who shut down unpermitted jobs. If a neighbor had made the call in time it might have been stopped. It's unlikely though, I am familiar with the house and it could have been taken down in less than 5 min with the machine they have on site. They are in the process of building two brick $hithouses directly across the street from this one. The house in question has been abandoned for many years, I'm surprised it lasted this long. Never realized it was as old as they say. BTW - wish I knew what a portmandeau is. Is it anything like a Woop De Damme Dieu?

Un-bearable! Dastardly Doberman destroys Elvis's teddy bear Last Updated Thu, 03 Aug 2006 10:53:05 EDT CBC News The fur was flying in Somerset, England, on Thursday after a guard dog went on a rampage at a teddy bear collection, badly damaging Elvis Presley's bear Mabel, which had just gone on display. Barney the Doberman guard dog sits with security guard Greg West at the Wookey Hole Caves Park in Wells, England. (Associated Press) Barney the Doberman guard dog sits with security guard Greg West at the Wookey Hole Caves Park in Wells, England. (Associated Press) Authorities struggled to explain what triggered Barney the guard dog's attack at the popular display at the Wookey Hole Caves Park in Wells, England, about 175 kilometres southwest of London. "It's a terrible disaster," Daniel Medley, the park's general manager, told CBC News. There must have been some kind of scent, Medley said, "that made the dog go berserk." Barney first tore into Mabel, a bear that was recently purchased at an auction in Memphis, Tenn., for $85,000 Cdn. Mabel had once been owned by a young Elvis and was made in 1909 by the German manufacturer Steiff. The bear's owner, Sir Benjamin Slade, had put it on display at the collection "just a few days ago," Medley said. When the mauling was over, Mabel's chest had a gaping hole and its head had nearly been torn off. But the trouble was far from over with the six-year-old Doberman pinscher. "Once Mabel had been prised out of his jaws he then went on a rampage," Medley said. When it was over, about 100 bears in all had been damaged. "He was pulling arms off, heads off," Medley said and there was fluffy stuffing everywhere. The bear display at Wookey Hole Caves had been deemed so valuable that the park's insurance company had required guard dogs be on duty. Sir Benjamin, who sent someone to collect Mabel's remains from the park, is reportedly very upset. "He's not speaking to anyone," Medley said. "We just want to apologize to him." As for Barney, Medley said he's been stripped of his guard dog duties and will be retired to a farm "where he can chase chickens." Mabel, who was once owned by a young Presley, was made in 1909 by the German manufacturer Steiff.

Apparently not. These rooming houses seem to be more common than we realize. They only come to our attention when one gets busted. BTW - It looks like Adolph DID escape to South America after all.
Couple fined for 12-room house rental Monday, July 31, 2006 By JACK HERMAN JOURNAL STAFF WRITER A Hudson County landlord named Hitler Rojas has pleaded guilty to running an illegal boarding house, Jersey City officials said. Hitler - his first name, according to city officials - and his wife, Flora Rojas, pleaded guilty Wednesday to a number of building violations in Jersey City Municipal Court. The Rojases, who also own property in Union City, admitted they'd turned a two-family house on Kennedy Boulevard into 12 single-room units - including some as small as 6 feet by 7 feet, according to David Donnelly, the coordinator for the Mayor Jerramiah Healy's Quality of Life Task Force. The couple was ordered by Judge Nesle Rodriguez to pay $15,000 in fines, Donnelly said. They also returned back rent of up to six months to help their former renters find new housing, Donnelly said. The couple rented the rooms for between $200 to $450 per month, Donnelly said. They divided the house into four rooms on each of the three floors, including the cellar. Donnelly said the task force has been particularly adamant about stamping out illegal cellar units. The task force originally responded to a complaint at the house on June 8. In addition to the illegal single-room units, they found a number of fire and safety violations, including the lack of carbon monoxide and fire detectors. The fines could have totaled up to $50,000, but the owners immediately cooperated with the task force, Donnelly said.

I like this idea. Will the vans take the kids far far away and dump them in the woods?

My thoughts are that condos are for saps. Just like leasing a car. Ya got 100g's to put down. Buy a house and really own the property. As far as timing the market goes, you might be dead by the time it's in your favor. Life ain't all $$$, just do what ya gotta do. But never pay retail.
