The pizza source near my parents has closed (It was Lorenzo's on Arch St, near Canterbury).

They are looking for a new place and I'm asking on their behalf for recommendations.

Thanks.

Have you created your own lime wash?

How long did you wait between coats?

I’ve finished with my test patch. All seems fine. Now I’m test to finish that whole wall. (It’s about 25% of the basement).

FYI: photos here happy to answer questions.

Back in the mid-1970s, I remember stopping at Harvey's on the way home from many Ottawa 67s games. If I recall correctly, there was no seating area and you just hung around waiting for your order. I think there was a countertop around the front window. Perhaps it had stools. I'm not sure.

Anyone with more recall for me please?

My third floor mini-split has a section of mostly-horizontal refrigerant pipes. The insulation has deteriorated since installation about 3-4 years ago. That flat roof gets a lot of direct sunlight (I live near Philadelphia USA).

It’s time to replace that insulation and make sure it lasts much longer.

I’ve seen a “copper pipe insulation cover” which might protect the new insulation. Have you any experience and recommendations for such products?

Following on from that, which pipe insulation do you recommend? I feel like the installer did this part poorly.

Did you attend the LOPSA AMA regarding dissolution?

I ask because I didn't, despite it being on my calendar and would like to hear from those who did.

Do you have a heat pump hot water tank?

Happy with it?

Is the tank in the basement?

I have a field-stone foundation in an 1890 Victorian. The basement stays warm enough I reckon, based on the past 6 months of data. The basement temperature drops below 50F only for a week during January.
