Lieby Bouchard—who, with her husband, Al, has been a long-time resident of the building—passed away some weeks ago. A memorial service has now been scheduled for her friends to say goodbye.
The service will be taking place at 10:00am on Saturday, April 6, at
Saint Peter Parish,
100 Concord Ave.
Cambridge, MA.
If anyone needs bubble wrap, heavy brown craft paper, or other packing materials, I’ll have a bunch up for grabs in the office from 9–11 this morning. I hate to just put this stuff in the trash!
Reminder: The building has new master insurance with significant changes. Info has gone out via email and snail mail. Owners need to update their own insurance accordingly.
An owner is giving away a storage cabinet (beige) that came with his basement space and that he doesn’t want. See photo below and contact me if you’re interested.
I have a large quantity of packing materials free for the taking, including bubble wrap, paper, and more. If you’re wrapping items for transport or need heavy brown paper for an art project, stop by the lobby office Saturday morning between 9 and 11 and grab some.
Individual unit owners sometimes share advice here about contractors they’ve used successfully. The search feature is a great tool for finding suggestions in old posts. An owner recently used a new contractor that they were enthusiastic enough about to want to share so I’ll be tucking that info in the comments for this post. As always, owners need to do their own research and be sure to submit the required forms to management before undertaking any work on their unit.
Emails went out to owners on Tuesday and Thursday with loan info and amounts due. If you didn’t receive them, you can find the same info on your owner’s portal under “Shared Documents,” “Loan info feb 24.”
To help keep bulk emails from management from being snagged by your spam filter, try adding “jawood-mail-system@jawood.mailer.appfolio.us” to your contact list.
The same loan info should also be going out in a hardcopy mailing in the near future.

The owner has been found and is on their way to pick up the dog.
Also, if you no longer want to receive these notices, please let me know. I’m running into trouble with gmail limits. If I have to switch systems I will, but if there are folks who’ve moved away who I can trim off the list, that would be easier & cheaper. Thanks!
A lost dog was found curled up on the top floor of the Hamilton Canal garage (the new garage behind Canal Place 3). I believe the parking attendant has him in the garage office if anyone knows the owner.
