A 20k reduction from 495k is 4% down, not 10%. Is 600 per square foot the going rate in Clinton Hill?

i've heard borax works. fortunately, i haven't had to use it.

I have the same issue with reupholstering a couple of chairs. I did a search for airlay/fiber foam and found just futons. Any idea where one can find the material?

I've found that the plastic tops clog too much (like the one in the front-left), but that the metal ones work better (like the one in back). Either way, you need to dilute the liquid with about 1/3 to 1/2 water.

We got lots of second-hand furniture. There are a few things that really should be new (car seat and mattress are two). Most everything else is fine second hand. Our neighborhood has a Yahoo group for parents that has tons of stuff available.

We are also taking the opportunity to detox our apartment. We're going to try seventh generation non-chlorine diapers as we didn't think cloth was going to be practical for us.

I've found that using ceiling fans allows us to leave our A/C on low when we need it.

On food, we're planning on skipping baby food and having the baby eat a mashed version of whatever we eat.
