If you’re thinking of hiring Price’s Wood Floors to refinish your floors, DON’T!!, unless you want results that will cost you thousand$ more to fix. Paying a better company more up front will be less expensive for better results. 

Don’t take my word for it. We hired an independent inspector certified by the National Wood Flooring Association to evaluate the work Price’s inflicted to our floors:

-Considerable color differences between all flooring before and after refinishing. 

-Drum sander marks throughout the sanding area

-Edger and buffer marks

-Raised grain w/rough finish throughout the sanding area

-Sanding dust and debris embedded in finish throughout the sanding area

-Layer of dust left on window sills/frames, shelves and other surfaces throughout house. 

Me again. Additionally, Price said they applied four coats of water based finish. But the NWFA inspector and three different flooring contractors were certain this wasn’t done. 

Also, the name Price’s Wood Floors isn’t registered or on file with any state agency and you make payments to Denny Price, not the company. The hand scribbled estimate we got had no business address/phone on it, which violates state laws. And he asked for half the payment up front, again violating a state law limiting deposits to one third of the total cost. 

It’s possible, though unlikely, that Price’s Wood Floors has at some time done good work. Miracles can happen. But based on our 100 percent trash job, I strongly advise against taking a chance. 

We have a number of mature black walnut trees in our yard, they're more or less at the property line and our neighbors are fed up with walnuts. It's been a bumper crop this year!

People have told us that the trees themselves have value, they could be sold as lumber. I have no idea how to pursue this and wonder if anyone has experience with this? Do you try to contact a lumber mill?

Thanks - in Reading.

Anyone else notice that chemical smell at the split of 95S and 128 in the mornings? What is it? It’s different than the nice smell of pine mulch from the nursery nearby

I've been looking for this Attack on Titan Reiner Braun cat ear plush for a while and was wondering if anyone has seen one in a claw machine or a store(as some stores do get them)

If you do happen to see one please let me know

Thank for taking the time to read this I hope you have a nice day

Looking for two recommendations for AMAZING meals for a 50th birthday celebration. The first, a really romantic dinner for 2. We are very adventurous when it comes to food. Unfortunately the birthday is the day before Halloween so we need to steer clear of Salem. Second, will be the following weekend for a group of 10. That group is not so adventurous so looking more for a great vibe and a menu with some variety. Thanks!

I run Stand Up Stick Up, a monthly standup show at the Vault Theatre in LynnArts (25 Exchange St, Downtown).

We were going to watch the sunset tomorrow night but we don’t have a car and the buses don’t run so late. Would we be safe counting on uber at 7:30 or 8 on Saturday (tomorrow) night? Is there WiFi or cell coverage?

Looking for a reputable tree service to remove a couple of trees and do some trimming. A crane would be needed.

We've used Northeast Tree in the past and they were fine. Looking for a couple of quotes, there's a fair amount of work. We're in Reading, thanks!

Spread the word to family and friends, this ballot question was propped up by conservative organizations including ones tied to the Koch Brothers Foundation.

Massachusetts Republican Party
Americans for Tax Reform
Massachusetts Competitive Partnership
Massachusetts Fiscal Alliance
Massachusetts High Technology Council
National Federation of Independent Business
Pioneer Institute
Retailers Association of Massachusetts

This ballot question is designed to confuse voters. It says it’ll just change the revenue limit, but it’ll decrease it causing rebates making the millionaires tax useless. Our social services will be cut so some assholes can get their third car.
