Globe Direct - Red Bagged Advertisement Papers

[shana-lyons.livejournal.com]

Has anyone had any luck unsubscribing from Globe Direct? They started to drop red-bagged advertising papers on our porch a few months ago. I've long since gotten sick of picking them up and immediately tossing them. I unsubscribed via the email address on the bag (direct@globe.com) over a month ago and got email confirmation of that unsubscribe. They're still coming. Has anyone else found a way of opting out that works?

If you have magic tricks for getting people to stop leaving menus, cable flyers, and political ads, that would be awesome, too. :) I feel like our porch has become a big dumpster of direct marketing recently.

The top of our chimney is crumbling and needs to be remortared. Any positive or negative recomendations?

Also, I think we need a metal liner, again looking for recomdations.

Carpenter/Handyman??

This is a bit of a rush job, but can anyone recommend a carpenter who can replace clapboards on the side of a house?  Not the entire side, but several patches have areas of rotted wood that need replacement.  We are next in line for a painting company and would greatly appreciate someone who would be willing/able to do the job sooner rather than later....Thank you very much for any possible leads.
