[Highland Park] Oriental rug for sale
by Path Walker 30 Aug '12

30 Aug '12

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Path Walker Date: Monday, August 6, 2012 Subject: To: Neighborhood <Neighborhood(a)highlandparkpa.com> This rug measures approx 8x 4 1/2. It has deep burgundy colors and is very rich looking. It has seen very little use and has been in one of my guest rooms for almost 20 years. It has no wear and is in excellent condition. The rug is extremely thick and would great in a hall or entryway. If you were to purchase it at today's prices it would easily go for over $2000.00 or more. I am letting it go for $900.00. I personally have hand picked my rugs from a NYC dealer or in some cases I have purchased them during my travels to Turkey and Egypt. All rugs are 100 % hand made. Please email if you want to see this rug.

by Craig Keto 30 Aug '12

30 Aug '12

Hi all! A quick introduction - I'm Craig A. Keto, a Realtor® with Keller Williams Realty, located at 5425 Baum Blvd, Pittsburgh, 15232 (Baum & South Graham intersection). For a quick about me, please go here<http://www.craigaketo.com/about/>. I'm available for all your real estate needs in the city, be they residential, multi-family, or commercial, including the areas of Highland Park, Friendship, Morningside, East Liberty, Garfield, Bloomfield, Lawrenceville, Shadyside, Point Breeze, Squirrel Hill, Greenfield, Regent Square, South Side, Duquesne Heights, Mount Washington, Arlington, The Bluff, and more. If you're not sure, just ask! As I sit and write this from Tazza D'Oro, I want to bring to your attention two awesome townhomes in Morningside that are close to everything in the East End but terribly affordable, are fully renovated, have plenty of on street parking, have a private wooded area out back, have Allegheny River views, lots of exposed brick, new wiring, furnaces, fixtures, roofs, flooring/carpet, front porches and rear decks and a lot more to love. The addresses are 1851 and 1853 Morningside Avenue, right next to the "Welcome to Morningside" sign at Baker Street. List prices are $119,900 each. 3 BR, 1.5 BA each. Here's a listing link<http://wpn.mlxchange.com/DotNet/Pub/EmailView.aspx?r=560745414&s=WPN&t=WPN>. The owner will sell both for a discount over selling each individually, hence why I have the two priced at $235,000. They are currently listed as one building, as the owner is getting a subdivision, which the city wants more than he does, he tells me. That will allow him to officially sell them as two units. That will be approved on September 20th at the hearing. After that I can officially list them as two separate units. The neighbors are very excited to see this property finally turned around after sitting in rough condition for many years. These units are worth a look and I think you'll agree. For the price they are tough to beat. Please contact me or your favorite real estate agent to tour them! They are easy to show. Best wishes to all and have a wonderful day! Craig Craig A.

[Highland Park] Insulation Company Recommendations
by Tazio Hilbert 30 Aug '12

30 Aug '12

Hello Everyone, I would like to thank my neighbors for once again providing great information, this time for Insulation Companies. Below I have compiled a list of the recommendations we received, thank you again for sharing!! Tazio Hilbert • We have used Casey Insulation on a few different houses in the past. Bob Casey runs his own business and has always done an excellent job for us. When we asked him to insulate the walls in a duplex we own, Bob told us that it would not be cost-effective to do so. When there was a big squirrel's nest in the attic of the house, Bob pulled it out rather than taking the lazy way and jut dumping insulation over it. When I was on the internet looking for his contact info, I noticed that he has an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau. Here is his business number: (412) 635-2499 • I have used this company before and again last week to insulate the ceiling on a flat roof house this company did a good job and the price is fair ,they give free estimates JD Gales Insulation 412-771-6675 • I have been told that Alpine Insulating is the best in the area. This word came from local energy auditors, who should know. • We used Western Pennsylvania Geothermal Heating and Cooling (http://www.wpghci.com/services-cellulose.html) for our attic and USA Insulation for our walls. Many companies wouldn't touch our walls as we only have a small seam between two layers of masonry (brick and terra cotta tile) - I believe USA Insulation is the only company that offers a proprietary foam that they inject from the outside to fill the seam. Very pleased with both companies and our house is much more comfortable now • We used Mincin and are very satisfied. • Call Rich Goff--he's been doing insulation as well as pest removal for over 25 years. He's absolutely terrific. His number is 724-316-8377.

[Highland Park] Couple Seeking Rental Housing
by judi teeter 30 Aug '12

30 Aug '12

Hi Neighbors, I am posting this for a friend: Hello! We are two Texas transplants who moved to Pittsburgh last December, and are hoping to find a rental property in the Highland Park area. Highland Park seems like such a great neighborhood - we like the location, dining options and cozy feel. We've seen there are several apartment complexes scattered throughout, but we were hoping to find a space within a house. A little bit about us - We are both full-time working professionals as well as graduate students. We are fairly quiet people, but love to meet others. We'll be ready to move in in late March/early April 2013. Please contact us at Cristin.Ashley(a)gmail.com with any renting opportunities. Thank you! Michael & Ashley Oates

[Highland Park] free bookshelves, couch/chair/ottoman, and baby bouncer
by Shannon Hula 30 Aug '12

30 Aug '12

Hi all- I have the following to give away to new homes. I'd like to arrange pick-up this weekend: (A) 3 IKEA bookshelves; I think they are these<http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/60103750/> They are the "hidden mount" kind, are 2" thick, and I have 2 long ones and one short one, in birch color. (B) Couch + chair + "cube" ottoman (see pics): Structurally, these are in fine shape, but our cats have clawed the fabric mercilessly in a few spots. They would be great for someone who had the time and effort to get slipcovers for them. The ottoman (not pictured) is dark brown and in the same fabric. (C) Evenflo "Johnny Jump-Up" Baby bouncer<http://www.diapers.com/p/evenflo-johnny-jump-up-frogs-340384?site=CA&utm_so…> Please email me if you are interested in picking up any of these items this weekend (Saturday or Sunday). Thanks! Shannon [image: Inline image 1] [image: Inline image 2]
