“Dear PoPville,
Our house needs a new front door! Please give us your recommendations for a reputable exterior door installer, as well as where to buy a new exterior door (besides Lowe’s or Home Depot). I’d like to hear from satisfied homeowners who’ve actually worked with a reputable local business to purchase or install a new front/exterior door to their house. TIA!”
“Dear PoPville,
Why do developers insist on painting old Victorian brick buildings that have never been painted before? This has happened at least 3 times on 1700 blocks of Q and Corcoran in the last year.”

It’s time to accept the new reality and maximize what has become my guest room / office / work out room. Has anyone had luck buying Murphy beds (aka wall beds)? Any cautionary tales? If purchased online, how on earth did anyone get it installed? Not something I’d want to risk DIY!”

“Dear PoPville,
I’m hoping to renovate my kitchen soon and I need help. I have bids from contractors to do the actual work, but I am stymied when it comes to making choices about finishes and appliances.

“Dear PoPville,
Where’s good to find jobs in D.C.? I know the route for federal jobs, but I haven’t job-hunted in the private/nonprofit/contract/etc. sector in a long time. Are the Washington Post’s job listings still supposed to be the best, or have they been overtaken by national websites like Indeed and LinkedIn?
