Very Old Garage Door Needs Repair- Suggestions?

[olliesix.livejournal.com]

Hello helpful people,

I am the proud owner of the classic Somerville detached garage, built in 1920 out of cinder blocks with a manually-opening door. The structure is reasonably sound but the door has stopped opening properly. The spring/pulley mechanism no longer works correctly so the door won't open. Any idea who might be able to repair it? Most 'garage door repair' companies only service automatic mechanized opening systems. Who can help keep the garages of Somerville opening for the next hundred years? Any ideas are greatly appreciated.

Help with Opening (and possibly Editing) Video for Local Musician

[snoopymel.livejournal.com]

Hi there,

Putting on my personal assisting hat, and asking for help for a local Davis Square Musician.

She was recently filmed in a performance, and received the document in ".vob" format for vlc media player. We wondered if there is any way to open this file on a mac or pc, as well as if there's a possibility to edit it in this form. If not, suggestions on how to do so.

We're also possibly looking for help with editing film. Please let us know you're interested, and your background.

Much appreciated!

[cape-ann-fc.livejournal.com]

Want to take part in Somerville’s newest sustainability initiative? With summer in the air, Cape Ann Fresh Catch (CAFC)- Community Supported Fishery (CSF) is pleased to announce that it will be coming to UNION SQUARE with fresh seafood deliveries set to start at the beginning of July. The fish is locally caught, fresh and delicious and the price is right—this program offers a sustainable and fun way to try something interesting and new this summer! Along with unparalleled freshness and flavor, this fish also comes with an added benefit: peace of mind. While enjoying into your locally caught dinner, you can pat yourself on the back for being green and supporting the local economy as well. CAFC fish is caught by community-based fishermen using sustainable fishing methods. Also, CAFC provides these local fishermen with a fair, higher-than-average price for their catch- helping many of them to stay in business during these tough economic times. During its two years in operation, CAFC has been pleased to provide its share-members with such varieties as bluefish, hake, monktail, pollock, skate, whiting, and red fish, as well as staples like cod, haddock and flounder. Because of our simple and direct boat-to-consumer model, the fish is usually swimming the morning before it hits your plate- completely unprocessed and never frozen. CAFC seafood is good for the local economy, good for the environment, and good for you! A variety of share options are available to best suit your family’s needs. You can pick up your fish in UNION SQUARE on SATURDAYS from 11am-1pm. Please see the CAFC website for more information on the program: www.capeannfreshcatch.org.

82 Pearson Ave

[mzrowan.livejournal.com]

I've often wondered what was up with 82 Pearson Ave. It has sat, derelict and uninhabitable, since I moved to the area a few years ago (at least). It looks like someone got halfway through renovating it and stopped. I've always been curious what happened -- did they run out of money? get divorced? die, and their children are squabbling over what to do?

At one point the front porch was taken down, so I thought they were working on it again, but now I think that it was the city that removed it because it was unsafe. There was a period of months where the third-floor windows were open and pigeons were nesting up there. I can only imagine what a mess it is in there.

Well, it seems like whatever the story is, it's coming to an end now: a notice on the door says that the city is planning on taking it over, fixing it up, and selling it: http://yfrog.com/kgpskkj . Might be a good deal for someone who's willing to wait for them to finish (and then do whatever work is remaining, as I imagine they'll only be doing the bare minimum).
