[Highland Park] Carpet Cleaning Services
by largentine＠aol.com 13 Aug '12

13 Aug '12

Looking for recommendations for a service that will take our wool area rugs out to be seriously cleaned. I discovered a most disgusting pest (carpet beetle) that is slowly destroying our wool rugs! I have an infant and a school age child, so pesticide is not an option. I sprayed a natural pesticide and want to be sure we get rid of them, although with an old house, it may not be possible. Any advice from those who have dealt with this is appreciated as well. Thank you, Lisa

While we're doing hair recommendations, how about manicures/pedicures? Recommendations for salons or specific people would be great. Highland Park, Morningside, Oakland, Shadyside, Squirrel Hill, Aspinwall, or reasonably close areas, please, there's only so far I'm willing to schlep for pretty fingernails. Stacey

[Highland Park] Free and fun eco-documentary screening (with local filmmaker) on Wednesday, 6pm, at Pittsburgh Green House (308 N. Sheridan)
by Mark Dixon 13 Aug '12

13 Aug '12

Dear Neighbors, I am the producer and co-founder of a film that has been winning awards on the festival circuit for the past year, and I've planned a local screening that you all are welcome to attend. I drive the Ford Escape Hybrid that says "YERT.com" on the sides-- perhaps you've seen it? Read on for more details... There is a free screening of the eco-docu-comedy "YERT - Your Environmental Road Trip" (with hot dogs and popcorn, too!) at the Pittsburgh Green House this coming Wednesday, 8/15. I will be there for discussion (and a bite of popcorn), and would love to see you there. You can watch the trailer at http://yert.com . *The YERT film is fun for the whole family.* Click here<https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dEk4bG14N2YyV1M1dUwtVG…> to register for the screening. After seeing the YERT film, people often ask, "What can I do now?" And the Pittsburgh Green House is a great place to find some important answers to that vital question. The screening starts at 6pm, but you can swing by for a tour of the house at 5:30pm. Here's a blurb about the Pittsburgh Green House: * * *The Pittsburgh Green House, a project of ACTION-Housing, Inc., is a 110-year-old home that has been renovated as a weatherization training and educational facility where contractors and the general public can learn about residential energy and water savings and making homes healthier. ** http://www.pittsburghgreenhouse.org/* I've been to PGH a few times and it is awesome.

Hello Neighbors, I'm building a screen out of old, wooden doors that have been in my basement for about 40 years. Do any of you have old doors that you want to get rid of? I'll haul them away for you. I'm also looking for old doorknobs and hardware.
