Another request for recommendations. She’s specifically looking for ceiling repair expertise.

Looking to hire a ceiling repair person for a ceiling that’s been damaged by water from above. Please let me know if you’ve had a ceiling repaired and if you have been happy with the results.

I’ve got two units that need to be worked on. 

Please respond to GeorgiSMay@cs.com

Thanks for any recommendations!

An owner is looking for handyman recommendations. If anyone has any suggestions, please put them in the comments. Thanks!

A question from an owner: Has anyone ever found a way to successfully remove the dark water stain outlines on the large wood beams in some of our condo units? Please put any answers in the comments.

Also, if you haven’t yet sent a copy of your vehicle registration to canalplaceoneoffice@gmail.com or dropped it through the office mail slot as part of getting a new sticker, please do so ASAP and save yourself waiting in line during lobby office hours!

Someone is interested in knowing if any residents have cleaning services they might recommend (it’s been several years since the last post on the subject). If you have any suggestions, please post them in the comments.

Thanks!

Winterfest will be taking place downtown on Saturday with some parking bans and road closures beginning today. The weather for Saturday looks relatively balmy, which isn’t so great for the ice sculptures but is nice for us humans! Lots of stuff will be going on to browse and enjoy. Check out the link above for more info.

From Georgi: I made the mistake of buying the shredded wet food made by Friskies rather than the pate, which is what my cats prefer. Tried the shreds—they stuck their noses in the air and walked away.

So I’m checking to see if anybody out there with feline fur babies would like some free food. Because I’ve taken these out of the box a while ago And there’s no returning them. The flavors are ocean white fish & tuna, beef, turkey & cheese and chicken & salmon.

Email me at GeorgiSMay@cs.com and let me know if you could use these.

If I don’t hear from anybody in a week, I’ll just take them over to the local Humane Society for them to use there.

A snow emergency has been declared for 4:00 with a parking ban starting at 10:00pm. All cars must be removed from our surface lot by 10pm or they risk towing. Free garage parking is available starting at 4pm at both the Roy garage next door and the Hamilton Canal garage on the other side of Canal Place 3.

From City Hall: The Snow Emergency Parking Ban will be lifted today, Saturday, February 21, at 12:00PM noon. Drivers will have until 4:00PM today, Saturday, February 21, to remove vehicles from City garages without incurring any costs.

Oops. I totally missed that a parking ban went into effect last night. If you’d like to be helpful to our plow driver and your car’s in the surface lot, please consider moving it to the garage. The Leo Roy is currently free until the ban ends.

I’ve been told that the City will begin a major snow removal project downtown tonight at around 10PM which may go until 7AM (thank you, Brian, for the info!). So if you’re wondering about the noise, or have to navigate around equipment coming home this evening, that’s what’s going on!
