Hey everyone, I live in Watertown,

I'm in a bit of a pickle with a new refrigerator delivery and need some local recommendations.

My stairway is incredibly tight. I already had to return one fridge that was too big. The replacement has a smaller depth, but even with the doors completely removed, standard delivery crews can't get it up the stairs. A 2-man crew failed, and a 4-man specialized crew also couldn't make the turn.

I really don't want to compromise and buy an even smaller fridge, so my only option left is to have it hoisted up and brought in through my second-floor balcony.

Can anyone recommend a local moving or rigging company that can hoist a refrigerator up to a second-floor balcony? Looking for someone insured and experienced with this kind of tight structural maneuvering. Thanks in advance!

So I live in a 1 bed in Watertown. Moved there in 2024, rent was $2100. Unit is fairly large, but in pretty miserable shape (Irish triple decker ) land lady doesn't do repairs all appliances about 1 step from falling apart. Come 2025, landlady ups rent to $2275. At the time, I am too tired of moving so I accept the increase. Come 2026, land lady ups rent to $2575. As it happens I need to leave the state due to a new job opportunity. Landlady also ups rent a similar amount on the first floor people. Both of us tell her that we will not be renewing our leases. Landlady contacts both of us in a panic and offers to negotiate and even offers the first floor people to keep their rent the same as the previous year. First floor people are moving out regardless. Only 1 person has shown up to tour the first floor unit and none for mine. Landlady is showing the place without a broker and now is trying to make us feel bad for her by telling us a sob story about how the units are actually normally priced for Watertown and how it's hard being a landlord. FYI she owns 8 buildings and drives a really nice Lexus. Karma.

Edit: triple decker my mistake

Hi everyone. I am leaving watertown for another job out of state. I am planning on getting a moving pod. I want to find a decent moving company that does packing and loading at a reasonable rate. Does anyone have suggestions?

Hello everyone, I hope this reaches the right crowd, but I lost a pair of keys yesterday on June 27th, I was near arsenal yards and Belmont Ave (where the piercing place is).

The keys have a long silver wallet chain on them, a Vegemite keychain, and some greenish keychains with a hedgehog character on it. I don't have a picture of my keys unfortunately, but please message me or comment-- if you find them because they have important keys on them that cannot be replaced.

Thank you!!
