[Highland Park] Wanted - Garbage Bin
by Temple Kearns 18 Jul '11

18 Jul '11

Hello all! My garbage bin disappeared during today's pick-up. Thought maybe with some of the recent posts from those leaving the area someone may be willing to part with their bin before they leave. Let me know if you have a bin that you are willing to part with (for free or cheap). Thanks!Temple

[Highland Park] ISO treadmill - cheap!
by Cate Stevens-Davis 18 Jul '11

18 Jul '11

Hi neighbors! If you have an old treadmill hanging around that you don't use or are planning to upgrade, I'd be happy to take it off your hands. No need for any bells or whistles or fancy technology, so long as it works. I'm hoping to spend around $100 and I can pick it up from you. Thanks, Cate

[Highland Park] Free - a few things
by Charles Horton 18 Jul '11

18 Jul '11

Hi there! Following items are all free-to-good-home: - TV cart. From an old school CRT television from the eighties. Not particularly gorgeous, but pretty strong and has casters. It's just a top shelf, a bottom shelf, and metal uprights holding them up. - "Maimeri" rack that once held tubes of oil paints at Top Notch Art. They gave it away when they re-did their store, and I had a stereo on it at one point - it's not super strong, but it's useful for more than paint. - 9 Crabtree-and-Evelyn jars with tops that fit down into them. Formerly held some sort of peppermint-scented soap; I'd held onto them because I thought they'd be useful for crafts, but didn't get around to using them. - 10 different books from the Brian Jacques "Redwall" series. All are used, but still usable. Doesn't include the first one in the series, but you could probably start elsewhere and still enjoy reading it. thanks in advance! Charles

[Highland Park] Exterior painting
by cindy ferringer 18 Jul '11

18 Jul '11

We are looking for someone to do exterior painting at our house. We had a few estimates last year but decide to just get the porch roof improved. Does anyone have any painters to recommend? The house is 3 story - there are wood shakes on the front and back that need painted as well as trim that goes all the way around. Would probably also get the front porch painted as well. Thanks.
