Has anyone used Bathfitters to redo their tub/shower? We’re wondering how their enclosures hold up. I believe that our unit has its original shower surround and tub from 30 years ago which has long since lost its shine and is pretty tough to get clean. Has anyone outright replaced their tub/shower? Who did you use and how did it work out? We’re not interested in a stunning, designer bathroom, just in one that’s easier to keep clean.
Please feel free to respond in the comments or to e-mail me at admin@canalplaceone.com Thanks!
Is anyone interested in trading recipes from last week’s potluck Personally, I was wondering just what went into those little appetizers with the chopped tomato, olives, and cream cheese on some bread-like base,
The Canal Place potluck gathering is coming up on Saturday, November 4th from 4:30 to 8:00 in the first floor atrium. For more information and to let the organizers know you’ll be coming—and what you’ll be bringing—please click here.
For those of you who’ve already signed up, please remember to bring (in addition to your contribution of food) serving utensils, your own beverage, and chairs. Napkins, cups, plates, and eating utensils are being provided.
My husband and I have been here for 8 years and this the first time there’s been a building-wide social event. We’re really looking forward to it and hope to see you there!
We had an incident last Friday where 3 people followed someone into the building and then proceeded to romp around the water area in the atrium making a music video.
Georgi asked me to share the info below. We had one of these installed on our water heater a few years back. It wasn’t terribly cheap (as I recall it was around $300; I can double-check if anyone wants) but was worth it for the peace of mind.
There is a product available that not only warns you when your water heater or washing machine starts leaking water but also TURNS OFF the water to save you a hefty water damage repair bill.
The best time to install it would be if you were getting ready to replace your water heater. I don’t know the cost of the product; I do know that you have to have an electrical outlet nearby for it to be plugged into.
But if you have ever seen the damage that unrestrained water can do to a floor, ceiling – or the unit below you – you will want to check out this product.
Apparently when the heat was turned on yesterday there was a problem with one of the pumps. It has now been fixed and the heat is working. I just tried mine out and it took about five minutes to really get going but then it was blowing out nice toasty-warm air.
For those of you thinking it’s getting a bit nippy, I just got a message that the heat is on. I’m testing mine out right now and still not getting much heat but I assume that’s just because the boilers haven’t yet gotten the system up to temperature.
Any future problems with your heat should be reported to Cathy Deloge (royal.cathy@comcast.net).
Trick or Treating in Lowell has been postponed to Friday, November 3rd because of the damage wrought by last night’s storm. While Canal Place wasn’t affected directly, it’s been decided to delay our in house trick-or-treating to Friday as well. Trick-or-treating in our building will be held this Friday from 6-8pm.
