Galvanized storage cubes w/ perforated doors from The Container Store. We have a 2x2 configuration right now, but it's easily expandable as we make more vinyl purchases in the future.

Frankly, I get tired of the whole "you live in an apt building so you have to deal with noise" argument. I don't expect it to be completely quiet 100% of the time. But if it's noise you can control, then control it. If your stereo is in the front but you are sitting in the back, don't turn it up loud enough so you can hear it in the back... buy another stereo. Crying baby at 3am when you know the neighbors are in the room right next door? Take the kid to another room. It all has to do with respect for others. You want to do whatever the hell you want? Move to your own ten acres of land and have at it.

From the nyc.gov site:

PLACE IN TRASH OR DISPOSE PROPERLY:

plastic items other than plastic bottles & jugs (such as deli and yogurt containers; plastic toys, cups, wrap, etc. — if it's not a bottle or jug, DON'T put it in the recycling bin, place in trash)

I was surprised when I found out... it's disappointing.

with the bedbugs on the rise? no way.

My Breville Electric Kettle has a plug like this. From their site, "The exclusive Breville Assist Plug™ has been designed with a built-in finger hole for safe and effortless removal from the outlet.

There's a pic here:

I've used Benjamin Moore's Raspberry Truffle in various rooms in 3 apartments (bedroom, living room). If they ever discontinue it, I'm in BIG trouble.

that really sucks. the guy in the building next to us drops his butts in our garden. i really should put a sign on his door.

How does this stuff hold up to the moisture? Any rusting?

We replaced all of ours with these Schlage levers. I think they were about $30 at Home Depot.
