So, has the world discovered a better way to paint the house
exterior? Every time I bring a painter, they do the job, 2 years later, it looks like it was never painted. All cracks and peeling.
One company offered lifetime warranty but they want $30K (yes, no typo here - Thirty Thousand Dollars). I heard there are some paints that supposedly last a lot of years (10?). Anybody know about it?
Any ideas/advise how I can get my house painted and forget for more that 2 years? Any advise welcome.

I work downtown, so it is only natural that I take advantage of all the wonderful local restaurants for lunch. However, these local establishments are taking a toll on my waistband. Can anyone reccomend a healthy restaurant or two that I could use as an alternative to my regular diet? Thanks.
My old heavy patio door doesn't slide the way it's supposed to. Any recommendations for someone to give it a "tune up" (check/replace rollers, tracking, screen etc.)? Thanks!
Hi folks,
I'm looking for references for a Hartford agent in the Belmont area.
As a requirement for a prospect/client I need basic, personal liability insurance for my tiny (just me) LLC. This is the "fall down the stairs on their property" type of insurance. When I was last in a small consulting firm we used an agency in Mountain View which has since shutdown and retired... too bad. Any personal references?
Thanks in advance.

Need to have some cushions re-done. Anyone have a great Upholsterer they can recommend?
I'd like to sell a couple of formal dresses. Can someone recommend a consignment store on the peninsula?
Two of my close friends are getting married soon and I am not sure what I should buy them as a gift. They are both my age...old... which means they both have apartments full of the ordinary household appliances that one receives as wedding gifts. Quite frankly, I'm not quite sure I know what else to buy a couple when they're getting married, any ideas?
I just moved here from the East Bay so I'm still a bit unfamiliar with the businesses around San Mateo. I'm an artist so I need a quality art supplies store to go in order to stock up on all things artsy. Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks.
I've checked the Local2Me archives but there are no current referrals for gutter installation. Do you know of someone who does nice work in the Mid-Peninsula area? I am in need of either extending existing
4" gutters about 10' on two sides of a new additioin or replacing about 70 linear feet on a one story house. Thanks in advance!
Hi, I've got a friend looking for recommendations on hardwood floors installation. Who is good? Has anyone used a place like Empire and were you pleased or not etc.? Thanks, Donna
At a recent meeting to establish new dog parks it was very apparent that most people do not understand the hazards of POOP. Dog and cat poop will not composite in normal compost heaps to a safe level. There are many pathogens in pet waste. There is too much info to post here but here is a link with a lot of info. There are also, many articles on the web. http://www.doodycalls.com/resources_toxic_dog_waste.asp
With 149,000 dogs (2005) between SSF and Mountain View Poop in public parks is an issue that causes tension between dog owners and non-dog owners. On a recent walk one of our dog park committee members counted 22 piles before she gave up counting. Nobody wants to see that on their walk in the park. Many issues here, ill-responsible owners ect. Throwing the Poop into the public garbage bins at parks is unsanitary. People dig through it for recyclables then touch other things kids get into them etc.
So we need more a place for dogs to go off leash that will reduce the burden on City parks. Also better waste receptacles, like our Gladiator. We have a program where a company can advertise on the unit for $22/wk and we will maintain the unit replace bags and remove the waste and 5% of the proceeds will be donated to the peninsula humane society san mateo.
There is a need to Scoop the Poop, that’s why we are here and to give back to the communities we serve and our track record proves it.
Hi All,
Not sure what one calls it but I have a rug that is 6 X 9 and want to have it cut to 6 X 7. Does anyone know of a place that does it? It's not some fancy rug, just a plain synthetic fabric of some sort. I would like the edge to look nice and clean, not like my 4 year old took a pair of scissors to it. If anyone knows of a place nearby that would do, I'd appreciate your passing on the information. Thanks!

I have just discovered that I may need to have sinus surgery. I'm not satisfied with my current ENT doctor and would like to find someone (an otolaryngologist-surgeon) who is EXCELLENT -- the best, if possible, to do my surgery.
I am hoping to perhaps find a great doctor who works out of Stanford Hospital, if possible. I'm in the San Carlos/Belmont area.
Please, if you have had sinus surgery and want to recommend your
doctor, email me! Or, if you are in the medical community and know of someone who is considered "the best" in this area, I want to know who that doctor is. I will need to get this surgery done in the next month! Thank you!

I would appreciate any information about dealings with the bay area franchise.

I am looking for recommendations for a soccer camp for my 11 year old son. We're hoping to find a program that will be very focused on teaching skills and game tactics.
One friend recommended SAYSO Soccer Camp because the director of the camp is highly experienced and has been an excellent coach for their 7 year old. Another friend recommended World Cup Soccer Camp because she felt it offered better challenges than other soccer camps as her son became a pre-teen. Has anyone else had experiences (positive or negative) with either of these two camps? Or does anyone have other recommendations for terrific soccer camps?
Our son has had a great time playing in AYSO the past couple of years, but his coaches mostly let the kids learn through the fun of scrimmages. He would benefit from coaching that offered very specific pointers to help him fine-tune his skills, especially since the AYSO games get more intense once kids hit age 10. We think he will thrive on new challenges at a soccer camp.
Thank you for any advice you can offer!

I'm looking for some great summer camps for my daughter who is entering 8th grade. She likes art, drama and sports, but is becoming resistant to the ususal camps. Any ideas?
What's up with Downtown San Mateo? There is no nightlife other than mediocre bars, and those are reminiscent of college town establishments. I walk around the city in the morning and the streets, gutters and sidewalks are strewn with garbage and bar aftermath. Where's the pride?
Downtown San Mateo needs a makeover. Or maybe just some community investment...? I would imagine there are groups who organize this sort of stuff, and, like most city agencies, they are probably overwhelmed and understaffed. Does anyone know where we can find out more about what's happening around town cleanups and other projects?
Can anyone suggest a good electrician that's not too expensive?
Thanks!
I don't know San Mateo restaurants. Can you help me find one that would be good for a late lunch/early dinner. Not expensive, but not cheap, either.
Thanks so much for your help.

We have 2 cats and a cat door. A racoon has been coming in regularly and we don't know how to get it to stop. At first it came to eat the cat food we usually leave out all the time, but we've started putting the food away at night and it still comes in, drinks from the cats' water bowl, and leaves messy footprints everywhere. (The good thing is that it doesn't seem to be out to hurt the cats). We want to keep the cat door unlocked at night for our cats to use (which is largely why we installed it to begin with) and don't really want to
explore getting a cat door that responds to a tag on the cat's collar (or embedded in the cat?) for many reasons, including that our cats don't wear collars. We tried this stake you get at OSH which supposedly emits a high-frequency sound that deters rodents and racoons, but it hasn't worked. Any suggestions? Thanks!
The ants are here! We'd like to divert or get rid of them in a non-toxic way. Any ideas on companies or ways to do this? I'm not sure where they're coming in.

I grew up on the East Coast, sailing sunfish and larger boats all
summer. I'm certified to sail larger boats in the SF bay, but frankly,
it's a hassle. I'd like to take my kids out sailing on small boats - a

Our KitchenAid dishwasher, which is about 6 years old, has overflowed. We took apart all the hoses and they are freely running. Then we tried the dishwashed again and again it overflowed. We don't know what do do next. Any ideas of who might be able to help? Thanks.
After four years with them, I am getting new phones (not from them). Of course considering the age, this requires a new sim card. I went to one of their dealers, who said no problem, until he pulled my account. Then he says "You have a Blue account, and it won't let me cut the sim."
Seems they want me to sign another contract just to change to another phone. Not one that they are paying for, just a different phone.
Anybody else have a "Blue" account?
I heard that AT&T is now offering U-Verse, which is a video programming service using fiber that is comparable to Comcast or DirecTV, to homes in Foster City and San Mateo. Has anyone gotten any experience with U-Verse, and do you have any positive (or negative) comments to offer?

I'm looking for a broad day camp that offers activities like arts and crafts and sports (swimming, etc). I've not been happy with FC's Rec Center. I guess I'm looking for the camp I went to when I was a kid, before all the specialization.
Hello I’m looking for some fun camps around San Mateo for the summer.
I am seeking a reasonably priced, honest, reliable handyman who takes pride in his/her work to do odd-jobs, such as installing pre-hung doors, painting, fence-building, minor electrical, etc. Can anyone recommend a handyman? Thanks much for any recommendations.
I just found out that my Curves location in downtown SM is closing. I really liked the "women only, 30 minute workout" concept, and the downtown location was perfect for me. I'd like to know if anyone can recommend a replacement gym for me. Thanks for the help!
I was wondering if someone has contact information for one person to help me with odd jobs in the garden. Several months ago I saw some in this community were using a young adult named Kevin and his mother, but my budget will only allow for one person.
I need to dig out several boxwoods, an agapanthus, and one other bush. In addition, I also have various other items that I need help with in the garden. (I'll be posting these plants on freecycle.org.)
Please give me your (or their) contact info and idea of the hourly rate.
Thanks!

I need to renew my passport. We are thinking about a Mexican cruise and my passport expires very soon. Sometimes they require that your passport is valid for at least six more months.

My luggage got lost in March and the airline I flew took responsibility.
After a lengthy process of filling out forms, they have finally reimbursed me. However, the dollar amount they reimbursed me is about 50% below the value of the goods I claimed. Plus, I had asked for some kind of reimbursement for the time and frustration it took me to replace all the items, my lost vacation time, etc. Of course, none of this was reimbursed.
I am contemplating taking the airline to small claims court but have never been through a small claims court procedure. Is the small claims court process a time-consuming task? As I have heard, it is pretty straight forward. Second, if I lose, what kind of court fees am I responsible for?
Has anyone had any success challenging a airline in this type of situation? Any other important information to consider?
Thanks in advance. Your answers are always appreciated.
A local art teacher, who used to have a studio on 25th Avenue in San Mateo, recently moved her studio to a house in San Carlos. She has been giving her art classes there for a couple of months. Unfortunately some neighbors are complaining to the City about the "traffic" that this brings to their street and she has been forced to shut down her entire summer art program.
My kids were enrolled in the program and now we are incredibly disappointed.
If you know of an available place where she could move her art school, either temporarily or permanently, please let me know so I can pass on the information to her. I think she would prefer to stay in the San Carlos/RWC/Belmont/San Mateo/Foster City area. I don't know what her budget is, but I think she needs one or two rooms, including a bathroom. An extra sink for washing out brushes would also be good. A commercial space or a rental house would probably be good. I assume that she would prefer a commercial space so that there wouldn't be any future "neighbor" problems. But maybe she'd consider a rental house just for the summer.
If you know of ANYTHING or know of a realtor who could help, please email me: canyonheathmom@yahoo.com
Thank you!!!
Hi,
Trying to find a reliable, reasonably-priced company to replace our
garage door. Anybody recently replaced their garage door, is happy with the work, and it did not cost an arm-n'-a leg? Please let me know. Thanks so much!

passport renewal question. Many thanks to all of you!
Is there much difference or is one route better than the other-- I'm in SM near Hwy 92 bridge going to Grass Valley. I can go across the SM bridge, take 580 to I 5 and then proceed OR I can go across the SM bridge, take I80 to Sacramento and proceed OR -- my last choice up the peninsula across the Bay Bridge and then I-80. They all look to be nearly the same in mileage and time-- I've never been the I-5 route.
Comments or suggestions?

I just spent a weekend copying every bit of digital data I own onto a new Maxtor Hard Drive and now it won't mount. Seagate, the company that owns Maxtor, offered to recover the data and replace the drive with a refurbished one for twice what the original drive cost. Even though the drive is only a few weeks old and still under warranty. I'm convinced the data is fine; the problem is probably with the power supply or some other hardware. So... can anyone recommend a good data recovery service... preferrably someone local?
Thanks!
I am having some connection problems on my computer and am hoping someone has an idea of the problem before I have to call someone and pay $$$. I called my ISP, SBC/AT&T and they say because it is a 3rd party issue, it will cost me $100.
I am using Vista. I AM able to connect to the internet and also receive and send out my email without any problems, however, here is the problem that began a week or so ago:
When I start up my computer my trend micro antivirus comes up with a msg saying "Without a working connection to the internet, you cannot download the latest updates that help keep your computer safe. Please reconnect your computer to the internet immediately". This is strange since I am already connected to the internet.
When I'm in Craigslist, for example, if I want to reply to an ad and click on the email address given, the message I get says "Couldn't perform this operation because the default mail client isn't properly installed".
If I click on "OK" the next message comes up and says I can click to diagnose the connection problem and then that comes up saying to contact my ISP.
The third problem is similar to the second one - if I have an email open and I want to click on an email address in the body of the email, I get pretty much the same error message as the one I get in Craigslist.
The only thing I have done different on this computer prior to this happening was to install Word 2000. I use Office 2007 but some places can't/won't accept the new word document format thus I thought I'd install the old word program. I have since uninstalled the Word 2000 program and I think my problems began shortly thereafter but not sure if they could be connected.
I'm sorry to be long-winded here but am hoping someone has some suggestions before I have to put out $100+ to resolve this problem. Really, the email and "Craigslist" issue I can work around but it's the anti-virus one I'm more concerned with. I know once one is resolved they will all be resolved though.
Thanks so much!
Is there a favorite chinese restaurant here in san mateo that you like? my neighbor just recommended Silver Lake on El Camino but we were disappointed. We don't particularly like Uncle Chen, nor the one in the Marina Plaza on Norfolk. My favorite is in San Bruno called Innya Lake (chinese/burmese) but it is way too far to go as is the one in Menlo Park.
Hi All,
We are planning on having our wood floors in our kitchen refinished. Should we move all the food, dishes, etc from the cabinets? I am not sure how much dust this will kick up but everyone keeps telling me it is a lot. I don't want to open the cabinets and have a quarter inch thick of wood shavings on the dishes. What have other people done in the past?
Thanks in advance.
I need to get a business suit for a very important interview but don't know where I can find one that would fit my style and my size. I am a petite 2 or 4. Someones also suggested that I could get a wardrobe consultant at Nordstrom or Saks to help me with that. Does anyone have any experience with a wardrobe consultant at one of those stores to recommend to me? I live in Palo Alto and am willing to travel within about 40-50 miles radius. Thanks.
I am looking for a car service who will pick up elderly family members in Palm Springs, drive them to the Bay Area and return them to the Palm Springs. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Our 4 month old puppy is still waking up in the middle of the night. We have had for over a month now. I have heard that puppies can go through the night at 3 months old. We let her out at about 3:30am-4:00am. She is crate trained but barks at that time and then again around 5:30, 6:30. I don't let her out until 7:00am. But we are getting very tired!!! Does anyone have any suggestions? Please help. Signed Tired and frustrated

I have a 5-1/2 month old Irish Wolfhound pup that I'd like to get into some training, both conformation (Wolfhound Specialty is in 6 weeks) and obedience training, perhaps even some lure coursing which it looks like he might just do good at.
I've trained a Great Dane and an Irish Wolfhound with Skyline Dog Fanciers (no longer have classes) and San Mateo Dog Training Club (classes don't start until September), but *little* Conan needs the show ring environment with other dogs around that all have to behave. He loves the dog park and people so socialization is not a problem - or rather, IS the problem.
I'd like to stay very local in the San Mateo area as my business is consuming quite a few hours right now.
Recommendations anyone?
Years ago, there were many shops who would make a custom t-shirt, i.e. with text & photo provided by customer. They seem to have ceased to exist. Does anyone know where I might have the job done?
I need to find a new accountant to do my taxes. I also need to do some estate planning. And I could use some financial advice to help with my investments. If there is one person or local company that could do all those things, it would help with tax planning and so on. Does that make sense? If so, can anyone recommend a consultant or company that would provide a one-stop-shop for all my financial planning, investment and tax preparation needs? Thanks!
Can anyone recommend a local Italian restaurant that caters? I don't
need any services and will pick up the food. I was going to use Di
Neri's in San Mateo but found that it had been sold to a new owner. I
am serving a lunch for about 20 people and am looking for quality food with emphasis on the more familiar dishes like chicken cacciatore, involtini, lasagna or simple pastas.
Our company uses II Fornaio for its catering needs and they are outstanding. Food is hot, delicious and plentiful. Service is great. Are there others?
Hi! I'm getting married later this summer, and a number of things in my life have taken a financial priority. So I have to get creative with my new and challenging budget. Renting a gown is honestly not my first choice, but my husband-to-be has to rent his dream day togs, so I figured I could, too. : ) Does anyone know of any local rental shops that offer gowns?
On that same note, does anyone have any ideas for inexpensive, unique ceremony and/or reception sites? Thanks in advance!
Preferably in San Mateo. Our insurance pays much better for dentists in the Aetna plan, so we're going to switch dentists. Recommendations?
The (San Carlos) school district recently tested my child and according to their own testing, my child needs speech therapy. However, they have told me that since she is in a private school they cannot provide therapy, only "consulting".
Is this true? Does anyone know of families that had to switch their
kids to public school in order to get these services? (I have more
than one child in this situation) Any input would be appreciated.
Hello,
We are about fed up with Bank of America. Customer service is
non-existent, despite our "premier banking account." Can anybody recommend a local bank that is customer friendly, responsive, doesn't forget to send you ATM cards on time, etc.? Perhaps a Credit Union of some sort? WaMu advertises itself heavily, how are they in "real life"?
Any leads or suggestions are most appreciated!
Thank you in advance,

I'm looking for vegetarian or vegan restaurants on the peninsula. I've found Merit Vegetarian in Sunnyvale, and of couse a few in San Francisco. Now I'm looking for something closer. (Not looking for places with vegetarian dishes, or veggie "friendly" places, just veggie / vegan restaurants.)
Thanks!
