Great pantry shelves install Very much appreciate the install of some shelves in my pantry as it wasn't very useful before. This is a big improvement. Thanks to Rufio and Linda for making it happen.

Fantastic Community I can't recommend the Marc enough. It's mainly the community manager, Linda, who makes it much more than an apartment building. Rufino, who handles maintenance, is also fantastic. I will miss living there, and will certainly come back if I return to NorCal.
