[Highland Park] Fence Building List
by cdh0＠aol.com 16 Mar '09

16 Mar '09

Thanks to everyone who responded. Here's the list of recommendations for fence builders. (These are in no particular order, I'm just passing on the exact info that was sent to me) (1) Axel Claussen did my fence, it is awesome and I cant recommend him highly enough. You can come over and see it if you like, we live at 6413 Jackson. The fence is in the back, on the right if you are facing the back of my house. Axel: axel.claussen(a)gmail.com 412 362-5628 (2) You can call Gary Sciulli from "Gary Sciulli Landscape Construction" 412-462-9345 for building a fence. He has built fences for my clients as well as for myself. He is quite serious about what he does. I constantly have people ask me who built my fence. You may tell him that Dan Landis from Prudential Preferred Realty referred you. (3) North American Fence, located in Tarentum. The've done many fences in Highland Park and their bid was much less than Allegheny Fence. They will tell you what houses they did so you can take a look. (4) We used Sears many years ago (5) I am a Highland Park resident as well as a general contractor. If you would like me to give you an estimate, you can call me at 412-441-4240 or e-mail me at radsellner(a)comcast.net. (6) North American Fence did a great job for me...fast and neat. (7) My contractor is great! He does top o f the line work. Feel free to call Gary Schulz at 412-445-8485 (8) Three years ago Michael Howard Inc installed my stockade fence. I was & still am very satified. Michael Howard, Inc 174 Sandy Creek Rd 0 Verona, PA 15147 412-795-8721 Fax: 412-795-8721 (9) I used Bethlehem Wire and Fence, off Rt. 28, to install a wood fence last year. Their prices were very reasonable. (10) I used Affordable Fence ffom I believe Wexford. Had it installed over 10 years ago and it still is holding up like the day they installed it. I think they are still in business. Each post and picket was installed individually.

[Highland Park] Wanted: Spanish Books for Young People
by Barbara Paull 15 Mar '09

15 Mar '09

I was recently in Nicaraugua and visited a community library for young people. The library was started as a volunteer effort in the town of Granada and is not funded by local government. So I an hoping to collect books--mostly in Spanish--for young people. Does anyone here have any books they'd like to donate? I am looking for early readers, picture books, story books, fiction, poetry, etcetera. I'll be glad to pick up the books and can send them to a U.S. address where they will be shipped to Granada. This library has a great feel to it. The day I was there (in December), the kids were making and decorating Christmas cookies. The library is a wonderful haven for young readers but getting enough books on a steady basis is difficult. Barbara Paull

A few years ago I purchased three of these at a HP yardsale. They are very well made and so I'm looking to replace our other diningroom chairs with these ones. I suspect that they originated from East Liberty Presbyterian Cathedral Church. They are just like the ones pictured in the classrooms in the church's 1935 dedication book. I've unsuccessfully searched the internet for them, but figure that I would have more luck finding them within the Highland Park neighborhood. They might have been made by the Grand Rapids Equipment Corp. which is listed in the book, but there are two other woodworkers listed also. My chairs are unmarked. If you have similar chairs and are willing to sell, please contact me. -Heidi Farragut Street _________________________________________________________________ Hotmail® is up to 70% faster.

[Highland Park] Gardener Recommendations?
by C D 14 Mar '09

14 Mar '09

Hi -- We're looking for a gardener to do a relatively small job: we'd like someone to come and remove the old plants near our house and put in new bushes/flowering plants of our choosing. Does anyone have an idea who would do such a job? This strikes us as too small for most landscaping companies, but it's too large for us (we both work a lot). Thanks -- Jack & Miranda
