Grape Vines
by Yvonne Hidle 02 Jun '14

02 Jun '14

Hello Everyone, My co-worker's son is doing a project that involves the use of grape vines. I noticed on our block alone that quite a few houses have grape vines. If anyone is looking to have theirs removed or trimmed for free and help someone out in the process this might work! Thanks! Below is his original e-mail: --------- *All,* *If you have any wild grape vines on your property that you would like to get rid of over the next 5 weeks let me know. My 9 year old son has embarked on a project that requires large quantities of grape vines that are around 8’ long and less than 5/8” in diameter. If you know of anyone that has them that would let someone cut them down, let me know.* *Sincerely, JEFF LIGHT, AIA* *200 The Bank Tower, 307 Fourth Ave. Pittsburgh, PA 15222 412-281-6568 EXT. 124 fax: 412-288-2439 e-mail: jlight(a)mcfarchitects.com <jlight(a)mcfarchitects.com>* *Check out our web site at: http://www.mcfarchitects.com <http://www.mcfarchitects.com/> * *www.facebook.com/mcfarchitects* <http://www.facebook.com/mcfarchitects>
