[Highland Park] Question about covered fire pit and wood burning
by Sam Burns 27 Nov '11

27 Nov '11

I looked online and could not determine if wood log burning in a covered pit is allowed within the area. You know those things they sell at home depot with the metal cover, small chimney etc - the (relatively) portable ones. Can anyone tell me if there's problem with this? Nothing excessive, just looking to take advantage of the fall before it turns to winter. Thanks.

[Highland Park] terra cotta gardening pots
by nancy martin 27 Nov '11

27 Nov '11

My husband has been cleaning out our garage, and he's put a collection of our old terra cotta pots on the street for the garbage pick-up on Monday morning. If anyone needs pots--mostly small ones--you're welcome to come look through them. Ideal for starting plants indoors or for porch display in the summer months. We're at 1400 Browning Road, just a block of Highland Avenue. Nancy

[Highland Park] Wanted: Mulberry Tree Log
by Jeff Guerrero 27 Nov '11

27 Nov '11

I suppose it's a bit of a long shot, but I'm looking for a piece of wood from a Mulberry Tree. They literally grow like weeds around here, and produce black fruit that looks like raspberries. If you've cut one down and have one or more 3 and a half inch to 4 inch diameter logs, I would be interested. This is for a woodworking project. Thank you. -Jeff Guerrero

by Jeff Guerrero 27 Nov '11

27 Nov '11

I have a pretty decent steel patio table to give away. It's very sturdy, but not excessively heavy. It could use a fresh coat of paint, but it's perfectly functional. Please send me an email if you would like to come pick it up, and I will make it available curbside. -Jeff Guerrero PS I would be willing to part with 4 plastic chairs, too. Let me know if you would like them, as well.
