Does anyone have any use for a quantity of bubble wrap? I have 8 large sheets of small-celled bubble wrap, about 30″ x 30″, that came with something my son ordered and I hate to just toss them if someone could use them. Just reply to admin@canalplaceone.com

Flyers went under everyone’s door tonight with instructions for Halloween. Trick-or-Treating in the building will be Sunday the 31st from 6:00pm to 7:30pm. If you’d like to welcome Trick-or-Treaters, please tape the pumpkin picture to your door so the little ones know which doors to knock on. There are a number of spare pumpkin flyers tacked to the bulletin board at the top of the lobby stairs if you’d like one and yours has gone missing.

Please do keep social distancing in mind during Trick-or-Treating and consider masking up—even if your costume (or lack of one) doesn’t require a mask!

Also: Voting for local elections is this coming Tuesday from 7:00am to 8:00pm. More information can be found by following the appropriate links here. The polling location for Canal Place is the Lowell High School cafeteria.

Just in case there weren’t enough traffic challenges around us due to construction, there will be a number of road closures this Sunday for the Baystate Marathon. Please allow extra time if you plan to go anywhere that day, particularly in the morning. The most detailed list of closures I could find was on the Lowell PD Twitter feed.

A message from a resident:

I am moving to a different city in a few weeks and have a buffet table I am looking to sell. I am looking to sell it for $75 (or best offer). I’ve attached a photo but it is dark brown wood and has 3 drawers and space for wine bottles/additional storage.

If you’re interested please contact admin@canalplaceone.com and I’ll pass your e-mail along to the owner.

Please be aware that there is currently no way to buzz guests or deliveries into the building. Access to the door that is normally unlocked via your phone, as well as access to the intercom itself, is blocked by the ongoing work on the stoop.

In the long term this work will make our building more accessible by changing the step to a ramp across the width of the space. But for the next few days residents may need to make arrangements to let guests and delivery people in in person.

An owner is looking for someone to install a tile floor in her unit. Does anyone have any recommendations for dependable general contractors or tile guys who have done work in our building? Please reply in the comments. Thanks!

From a neighbor:

 I have a Canon MX 850 Printer that I would love to give away. Loved this printer and it worked really well until an error message appeared one day that there was a problem with incorrect printer heads having been installed. They had never been changed. I believe that someone with a little computer knowledge might be able to fix it and have a great printer on their hands. 

There are pictures below and I have all the cords and books that go with it.  I also have 5 unopened ink cartridges that I would like to sell for $5 each. If anyone is interested please contact me at cbs33@comcast.net. 

Someone has three lamps up for grabs at no charge: a floor lamp and two Ikea desk/table lamps. If you’re interested, let me know and I’ll pass the info along. Photos below.

A message from a resident:

I will be relocating from Canal Place One and have a few extra items I purchased for my unit that I will not need including Levelor double cellular shades and a bathroom heater.

Levelor Double Cell Cordless Cellular (Snow Estria) Room Darkening Shades: The shades were intended for the 2nd floor bedroom windows on the 6th floor. The shades are 2 on 1 rail with  0.25″ spacing.
The measurements are: 73″ x 58-3/4″ 74″ x 58-3/8″
The shades were retailing for roughly $600 each. I’m looking for $600 for both or best offer.

Additionally the heater was meant for my 2nd floor bathroom, but with vanity I had replaced would not fit the floor heater
$50 or best offer.

Admin—There are photos of the items below. Anyone interested can contact me and I’ll pass the message along.

Also, a mass e-mail just went out from management that the office will be reopening tomorrow evening (Yay!). If you didn’t get the e-mail, please check your spam folder. The hours are Tuesday & Thursday 6:00–8:00pm and Saturday 9:00–11:00am.

And finally, for anyone who hasn’t noticed, there’s now a list of “recent comments” available on this page. I believe it’s at left on a pc or involves scrolling down on a smart phone. This should make it easier for anyone watching for a response to something that’s been posted on the bulletin board or for anyone interested in updates on the neighbor-to-neighbor informational pages (like the in-depth info I just posted about replacing windows).

FYI:
