[Highland Park] Gas Fireplace Inspection?
by Amber McCann 04 Nov '13

04 Nov '13

We recently purchased a home and it has a gas fireplace insert. During the home inspection, the inspector said it worked fine but, when we've lit it, it smells VERY strongly of gas. Not worth having a lovely fire if everyone in the house ends up with a headache! Anyone know who we should hire to inspect it and check it out? -- *Amber McCann, IBCLC* Lactation Consultant and Social Media Coordinator Website: breastfeedingcenterofpittsburgh.com/ Email: amber(a)kidspluspgh.com <mpeelor(a)kidspluspgh.com> Phone: 412-246-4726

[Highland Park] Any Buffalo fans want to buy some football tickets?
by Allison Haley 04 Nov '13

04 Nov '13

Hi neighbors, I am only sort of joking with the subject line. We cannot attend this Sunday's Steelers game and not just because the defense is playing so poorly. If any neighbors are interested in attending the game, we have two tickets in Section 532. The face value is $75 and we are selling them for $55 each. Despite the losing record, home games are exciting and, worst case scenario, you can drink a beer and enjoy the beautiful view of the city. Please let me know if you are interested. Thanks, Allison

[Highland Park] Lamp re-wire? Thanks!!
by Tazio Hilbert 04 Nov '13

04 Nov '13

Dear Neighbors, First, I would like to thank everyone who responded to my inquiry last week about having a lamp re-wired. As always, HP Neighbors always comes through with great suggestions! I have compiled the responses here, for everyone’s reference; • Rolliers Hardware in Mt Lebanon can do this. Their prices are very reasonable. • Guiding Light in Oakmont. Used to be in East Liberty. • There is a repair shop in Squirrel Hill that repairs lamps for $16 per lamp. It's on Murray ave on the next block towards Greenfield from the Giant Eagle. It is in the same block and on the same side of the street as the Tea Cafe. • I had some lighting work done at Typhoon in regent square and was pleased with them. and finally for the adventuresome... • Lamps are actually fun to take apart and to reassemble. Take your time, use new parts, and the rest is just learning. Realistically, having a lamp reworked runs about a hundred dollars so do it yourself is the answer. Start with a 12 or 15 extension cord from Home Depot. Clip off the end where you plus things in and just retain the plug in end with the full cord. Purchase a new socket (remove the old one and take it with you) but I always like to upgrade to three way switches. Even if you just use a single bulb the lamp has the capacity to use a three way bulb. Purchase some black electrical tape and you are on the way to a simple and fun solution. A wire stripper tool (about ten bucks) is the perfect tool to purchase and keep for all of your future lamp projects. There are lots of home websites that give the details plus photos to assist your new hobby. • Lastly, I had a neighborhood person mention that he would be able to re-wire lamps as well, but I did not want to put out contact info out without that persons permission, so if anyone is interested in that possibility, email me and I will pass your information along to said person. —tazio Thanks again!
