After Irene

As always, great pictures John.

I’ve got a chainsaw and am willing to help, for free, if anyone needs to cut up downed trees. My email is tiglathpilesar@gmail.com

It took me three hours to clean up the mess around my house. At least there are less leaves to clean up during fall.

Jamie Ryland – 2207 East Marshall St., phone 648-4525. So good he is constantly in demand but keep calling. I saw him around yesterday responsing to calls. He specializes in metal roofing, old roofs, etc. and has been around up here for years.

Another roofer, not quite as great as Jamie, but perfectly decent, is Harper. Listed as RW Harper and Son, 233-6550 but they answer the phone Harper Roofing.

#5 either put with your super cans, or stack on the sidewalk but not in the curb or on the street as that could create problems if we have any more rain. That is per a recent email from the Church Hill Association. Apparently the city plans to come around several times a week to collect storm debris.

#12 Sandie, if you are replacing like materials and design with like, then no you don’t need to go through CAR. You do need building permits depending on what you are doing (structural repairs need a permit) – I would check with the city. If they tell you that you need a certificate of appropriateness from CAR, and you are simply replacing EXACTLY what you had with the exact same thing, tell them you know better – or just call CAR and explain to the staff and they should back you up.
