Reply to My tap smells like a fart by aranhalaranja
Usually rotten egg smell means there's sulfur in the water. From my understanding, resolution of the issue depends on whether the smell happens with all the taps or just one; hot water, cold water, or both; and whether or not you're on a well. (You're probably not on a well.) Calling a plumber or PWD could tell you how to troubleshoot.

50% off is not very useful when their markup is 50% more than my corner store. The flour I usually buy for $9 was $16 there!

If you walk around the neighborhoods outside of center city you will see plenty of excellent (if illegal) fireworks

I found it especially tough this year because the holidays were back in full force. After two modified holiday seasons it's all back and so exhausting! Rest and reset is certainly in order.

If you email the court they're really responsive.

The forthcoming recession will slow down or altogether halt plenty of the construction projects.

If you get a chance to shake hands with the new owner(s), take it. Better to meet now than in a courtroom.
The new law is interesting but only useful if enforced. To help protect your investment here's an FAQ from L+I - Construction activity has started next door. What do I need to know?
Basically: Try to address things directly with the subcontractors on site if possible, "hey foreman, i see that boom lift you're moving around is close to my retaining wall - keep an eye on that, will ya?" Regardless of their response, the message they will get is that you're monitoring the site. Otherwise, it's as others said - document, document, document in case things go south.
