Cartridge World USA in Norwalk, CT 06854 Cartridge World USA in Norwalk CT 06854 was referred to me by a very dear friend a few months ago.   This friend told me that I would save a lot of money by refilling my printer ink cartridges there.   I went to get my ink cartridges for my HP Officejet Pro 8500 filled a few months ago.   I have been enjoying the thought of saving lots of money on my ink cartridges. Cartridge World is located across from Swanky Franks on the Post Road at 247 Connecticut Avenue in Norwalk, CT.  The phone number to reach them at is (203) 956-5915.

What Not To Do When Hiring A Contractor.   With over 30 years out in the field I unfortunately get to see to many repair jobs done wrong, on the cheap, shoddy workmanship, poor quality materials. When it comes to home repair and improvement you usually get what you pay for. If one company is selling brand X hot water tank for $500, and another company is selling brand Y for $1,000, there is usually a reason for it in regards to quality of that product. The same holds true for labor and contractors. If you get a much lower price on the labor then it is usually not that they are charging that much less in the cost of labor but in the time that contractor is willing to put into the job. Here is an article of a homeowner who was taken by a low price; the contractor was un-licensed and proba...

Have you Ever Found a Realtor at an Oil Change I needed an oil change this morning, and like to go to my favorite place, European Auto Center in Norwalk CT, where I get to see my two favorite men - Keal and Chris.    They are so personable and helpful, and would never do anything besides help a client to the best of their ability.    I arrived at 8 am , as usual for me, since I like to wait while they change the oil and chit chat with them or who ever is in their office, also waiting.   This time, Keal stayed around a little more than usual, and began telling me his latest story about Realtors.  Doesn't everyone have a favorite story?    His story was so similar to something that happened to me last night with a referral - agents not returning phone calls.   What????   Why are you in bu...

  Winter at Cove Avenue, Norwalk 06851 is simply amazing! The winter in this area this year has been particularly spectacular with the beautiful snowstorms we have consistently been having.  2011 has started with a BANG!   Cove Avenue, located in southern Norwalk (officially in East Norwalk) overlooks the Norwalk Harbor, Water Street docks, Seaview Park (where the famous Oyster Festival is located), and of course, the Long Island Sound.    I drove through the area, and was struck by the absolutely fabulous beauty of the area.   I would like to share these photos I took.....                                           View Larger Map     Winter at Cove Avenue, Norwalk 06851   is simply beautiful!

Casey's Sheet Metal Service in Norwalk, CT Caseys' Sheet Metal Service, a top quality custom metal working company, has been located in Norwalk CT at 4 Merwin Street for many many years.   Their phone number is 203-866-9008.      This is a shop catering to not only the "big guys" (Air Conditioning companies), but also the "little guys."    Casey's works with custom sheet metal fabrication, air conditioning, and heating.    I cannot imagine one could find a job that they could not handle.    We had some coach lamps that were falling apart, because the welding was disintegrating after 30 years, but otherwise, were in great shape.   All we needed was a good welder, and a steady hand.    That we found at Casey's Sheet Metal Service.   We also found a family business that cares about their c...
