I was wondering if anyone had any advice on waterproofing a basement.
I am looking at Mid-Atlantic Waterproofing right now, but they seem quite expensive. Has anybody dealt with them before or could anybody recommend another company?

neighbor discovers broken roof beams
From a resident of the unit block of S Street NW:
During some renovations the contractor had to get into my attic. He found two of the roof beams were broken and we think it was from last year`s snow. The insurance company sent over an engineer and he said the weight of the snow broke the beams but the rubber roof coating stretched and prevented the collapse. The insurance company is sending a contractor to scope the work and he said there were numerous row houses in DC with the same problem from last year`s snow. Folks may want to check their attics before this year`s snow season.
two-night McMillan developer salon: 12/6 & 12/7/2010
See this 11/29/2010 message from Tania Jackson:
In response to the request made at McMillan Meeting #3 on Saturday, 11/20/2010, Vision McMillan Partners will be hosting a two night Developer Salon at the Big Bear Cafe.
On Monday, December 6th and Tuesday, December 7th, Jair Lynch, Adam Weers and Aakash Thakkar will be available for small group talks with interested participants. The evening meetings will be a little different from the Design Salons -- rather than individuals having one-on-one time, we will be putting together four groups across two nights.
Please email Tania Jackson to get into one of the groups: mcmsalon@gmail.com. Tania is also available by phone-- call (202) 355 - 8998 with any questions.

seeking referrals for getting rid of a raccoon under the deck
From a resident on the 100 block of Rhode Island Avenue NW:
I've noticed some holes under our addition in the space under my deck so I went to go board them up, re-insulate and investigate. In that process I came across a sleeping raccoon. I slowly backed away and called DC Animal Control. I was told they don't do animal removal. Seriously, apparently it has to be dead for them to do anything about it. So they told me a couple places to call. I questioned them on what they do for low-income residents or those who can't afford to pay someone to come take care of this and there wasn't much response.
Anyways, I'm wondering if any Bloomingdale residents have had success working with a good service that can get rid of the raccoon safely so either they or I can board up the affected areas.

Sunday Open Houses & Awesome Community Forklift Events
There are currently two open houses scheduled via the multiple listing system for Sunday. Here is the map. To see info about each of the open houses, scroll over the push pins on the map.
I wanted to give special mention to events planned this weekend at Community Forklift out around Hyattsville. Community Forklift is both a great resource for recycling building materials that others don't need, and also a great place to donate items such as light fixtures, cabinets, bricks, etc. that could be usable by someone else. They are having several fun things (for all ages) going on this weekend. It's really easy to get to...just east on Rhode Island Ave and a few turns. Their address is 4671 Tanglewood Drive, Edmonston, MD 20781. For more specific info, visit www.communityforklift.com.

contractor referral: Castle Construction
From a Thomas Street NW resident:
I have a contractor to recommend to the neighborhood. He works out of Germantown, MD, and he is now accepting smaller projects (business is slow). He built a home near my parents, so I've seen his work. He can do anything. There is a project gallery on his website: http://castleconstruction.org/index.html . His name is Rob Morris, and you can reach him at 301 674- 5580 or rob@castlecvonstruction.org.
I think he responds most quickly to phone calls.
new speed cameera installed on North Capitol Street
This message is from James Fournier, ANC 5C07 Commissioner-Elect:
Major New Speed Camera on North Capitol Street - North Bound
The speed camera attached to the MPD cruiser on the southbound side of North Capitol Street as residents enter Bloomingdale is a common sight. There is now an MPD cruiser on the northbound side of North Capitol - more or less across the street from the southbound side cruiser. As a heads up, the posted speed limit on NC is 35 mph - regardless of the obvious engineering capabilities of your car, your stellar driving ability, or whatever one may think about the reality of 35 mph on North Capitol.
A ticket for 20 mph is $150, which doubles if not paid within 30 days . . .

DDOT painting parking lines on Flagler & U Streets NW: what is your opinion?
See this 11/19/2010 message from Bloomingdale resident Christian Seitz:
I awoke Thursday morning and was startled to see the rough outlines (in spray paint) of parking box delineations along the 100 block of U Street, much like those that exist now on 1st Street. There was absolutely no notice from DDOT about this change to our streetscape. I have received info that all of U & Flagler Streets in Bloomingdale will be receiving these new parking delineations. The parking lines are new to these streets and a part of the overly-long WASA improvement project.
If you live on these streets (and want them or do not want them) or care about the aesthetic or safety of Bloomingdale, please email me by Monday at 6 PM and let me know: Your name(s), address, and if you are FOR or AGAINST these new parking lines. Email: cmseitz17@hotmail.com . I will pass this info along to John Salatti and DDOT for their consideration.
Below is a list of the PROS and CONS. Thank you.
Arguments Against Lines:
1) There is no chronic speeding or traffic problem requiring lines. U & Flagler Streets are not heavily traveled streets even during rush hour. 1st Street received these because it has a much higher traffic volume and a problem with speeding cars. Cars speeding on U & Flagler are limited and consistant but not at all pervasive and chronic. There is even less of a need on Flagler which is one-way. This is a problem requiring occasional police enforement for reckless commuters from MD and far reaches of the District, and not a permanent, visually extreme, streetscape-altering solution. If traffic worsens in the future, then lines are one among many possible solutions that should be discussed by neighbors.
2) Lines may draw more traffic. The highly visible lines may actually draw traffic off of 1st St and down U over to 2nd St in order to attempt to avoid the typical backup at the light at Rode Island Ave.
3) Lines may tarnish our streets’ quiet residential feel and lower property value. U & Flagler Streets (unlike 1st Street) are quieter side streets and not heavy commuter streets. They are more residential in nature. Often neighbors are crossing from between parked cars to visit one in other. Children ride bikes on the street. Once in, it is doubtful that these will ever go away. Do we want to detract from the peaceful feeling? The lines would add to the already vast amount of roadway indicators, signage etc., creating just one more layer of visual clutter. Furthermore, the lines will dilute that residential feeling that makes our neighborhood appealing to prospective buyers thus lowering property value.
4) Lines would alter Bloomingdale’s unifying visual aesthetic to accommodate outside commuters. The lines would create inconsistency in the visual aesthetic that defines and unifies our neighborhood. Since only 1st and Bryant Streets have these, this would add to those odd few, and I do not think we want to do this to all streets in Bloomingdale. Can you think of any other neighborhood in DC that has these on consistently on side streets? Should we alter the look of our neighborhood to pacify reckless commuters from other regions or should they adapt to our needs?
5) U & Flagler are not commuter streets. The exceptions to this 1st and Bryant Streets are commuter “through” streets. 1st is used by MD and DC commuters for access to Michigan, Rhode Island, Florida, and New York Aves. Bryant is a through route to/from North Capital, George Ave, 1st and 4th Streets, and the Howard U. Campus, thus, there these lines are justified to abate speeding and define lanes.
Arguments For Lines:
1) Lines help to slow traffic by visually thinning the street. These lines help to slow traffic because of drivers belief that there is less room to maneuver. [However, where this has been effective, there have also been yellow lane lines. We definitely do not want the addition of lane lines. In addition, as previously mentioned, traffic and speeding is not a pervasive and chronic problem].
2) Lines help to make more easily visual what is legal and illegal parking. Given the confusing nature of the plethora of the Districts parking signs that seem to be ever-changing, lines will help to make more easily visible where it is legal and illegal to park. [However, given the inconsistency in signage, it is likely that this will just add another layer of confusion and it is not a solution to a shortage of parking.]
3) Lines increased safety will help our neighborhood by protecting residents. The decreased speed resulting from these lines will help our neighborhood by increasing the safety or residents. [However, because there will be no lane lines in the center of the roadway, I have doubts about their ability to lower speed and worry about increased traffic because of their higher visibility. Furthermore, speeding is not a chronic problem requiring so permanent a solution.]

testimonial for roofer Michael Maggio
From a resident of S Street NW:
I just want to support a recent recommendation for Michael Maggio, who did some roof work for me recently. He's honest, hard-working and easy to get along with. Plus, he does great work at a fair price. He worked on my roof, but he's certainly capable of most big projects.

dismissing most of the protestants` concerns, ABRA grants Bear Cafe gets its liquor license
From the Housing Complex blog at the Washington City Paper:
Long Time Coming: Big Bear Cafe Gets its License
Posted by Lydia DePillis on Nov. 13, 2010 at 1:04 pm
http://www.washingtoncitypaper.com/blogs/housingcomplex/2010/11/13/long-time-coming-big-bear-cafe-gets-its-license
On November 3, after months of negotiation with neighbors and being denied by the local ANC, the Big Bear Cafe ~ represented in its ABRA board hearing by the liquor licensing pro Andrew Kline ~ was granted its license.
Big Bear didn`t get everything it wanted: The Board, while dismissing most of the protestants` concerns about trash, noise, and zoning, confined the Cafe`s hours to midnight on weekends and 11:00 p.m. on weekdays, with outdoor music to cease at 9:00 p.m.
Don`t expect the beer to start flowing immediately, though. Owner Stu Davenport said the speedy decision ~ which took only a third of the Board`s 90-day window ~ took him by surprise, and he has no immediate plans to start serving alcohol, except for a December 5th art market where spiked cider will be in the offing.

Rustik, Finally:Present And Future
By Amanda Abrams
http://www.capitalcommunitynews.com/CCN_Website09/images/papers/DCN/Nov/1110/pdf/38_MCDC_1110-web.pdf
I know, the opening of Bloomingdale`s first sit-down restaurant, Rustik, is practically old news by now; the place first opened its doors in late September. But how can I claim to be a true neighborhood correspondent without mentioning the new establishment? Plus, I was personally curious, so I stopped in on a recent sunny afternoon and chatted with owner Diton Pashaj about how things are going.
Pashaj must`ve taken media lessons from his counterpart Stu Davenport, owner of Big Bear Café, down the street: both are circumsaect and humble to a fault when it comes to talking about their businesses. But Pashaj finally admitted with a smile that things are going well. ``We`re happy,`` he said when I asked if the restaurant is busy. ``I wouldn`t say it`s crowded, but we have business every night.``
Most of the restaurant`s early Glitches have been worked out, and he and chef Seth Brady are starting to brainstorm about moving forward ~ maybe expanding the menu, offering brunch with an Albanian flavor (Pashaj hails from Albania), or hosting special evening events.
For now, though, it`s all up in the air. ``We`ll see what the community wants,`` he said cautiously. I got there around 5 p.m. and things were just getting humming: bartenders were starting to stock the shelves, a couple of cooks were standing by the big wood-fired oven, and manager types were milling around. Of his 15 employees, Pashaj says that 90 percent live in the neighborhood ~ and that includes both him and Brady.
It`s definitely a ``think local`` kind of place. Pashaj is planning on adding a tap for DC Brau, a soon-to-beonline local brewery that`s co-owned by a Bloomingdale resident, and he`s uber-friendly with his neighbors, one of whom breezed in while I was sitting at the bar. ``I love it! I come every chance I get,`` said Karen Cotton, of Rustik. When the kids` learning center she`s developing next door finally opens, she figures the restaurant can serve as a parents` waiting room. If all goes according to plan, though, Rustik won`t be the neighborhood`s only restaurant for long.
Another group of Bloomingdale residents ~ Gareth and Matt Croke, and Colin McDonough ~ are moving forward with plans for Boundary Stone, a restaurant/pub just down the street. They expect the place to open sometime around April, as soon as construction is finished and approvals are in place.
Is Pashaj worried about looming competition? Not at all, he said. ``I can`t wait for Boundary Stone to open. When I`m done working, I want to go drink somewhere that`s not my place.``
