ugh. as many others have said, doing it yourself = totally cool, if it's your aesthetic (which it obviously would be, if you were doing it yourself). buying something like this? so hor...

Yep, my floor is painted teal and I have orange accents. It looks great!

Yikes. As a Red Hook resident, I sadly await the traffic. I have no idea why they chose a place that was not right off of a highway ramp. Most people will not be taking the ferry.
