This is the worst advice on here. Not pulling a permit is how you end up with shit work by terrible contractors and the potential for massive liability if anything goes wrong. It can also mean the inspection when you sell your house could fail and force you to bring everything up to code anyway. In an absolute worst-case scenario, a building inspector could pull your Certificate of Occupancy, which could ultimately result in your homeowner’s insurance canceling your policy, leading to the bank canceling your mortgage. This is all unlikely, however it is far MORE likely to happen in a building in which tenants have common walls, ie: a condo. You have no idea what you might fuck up for your neighbor. If I were your co tenant/ neighbor and you were doing a gut reno without a permit, I would 100% call the building inspector on you out of fear that you have no idea what you’re doing and could potentially burn my home down with shoddy wiring, or flood my space by hitting the plumbing with an errant screw. With no permit, your insurance will tell you to GFY.

Also, Lowe’s cabinets are trash.

Sadly, as civics and decency have declined, and racism has skyrocketed in recent decades, many more of those states have become firmly entrenched as reliable voters for complete losers. Education is vital, and that’s a big part of why MA is both prosperous and a liberal stronghold. Say what you want, but Republicans are demonstrably moronic. Your comment only reinforces that fact.

James G. Grant Co., Inc. (617) 361-2716 https://maps.app.goo.gl/frQWeroVBBiwfs5u5?g_st=ic $250 minimum, but that’s for up to a ton I believe. It’s as far south as you can possibly get in Boston- it’s basically Milton. But it’s also the only private dump in the entire city (ironically meaning that the public is free to use it, for a price).

Or… chop it all up into 12” sections and toss it bit by bit into your regular trash. That’s how we do it when space is tight. 200 lbs of lumber will only fill like 3-4 heavy contractor style trash bags.
