Selling Nursery Furniture Set
by Kari and Nate 14 Feb '16

14 Feb '16

We have a crib, dresser and changing table combo in a cherry finish and a diaper pail that we bought new from Target in the fall of 2012. Everything is gender neutral (see stock photo attached). The crib comes with a Sealy crib mattress, can be set at two heights, and also converts to a toddler bed. The changing table comes with a set of ivory storage bins for the two lower shelves. The diaper pail is great for either disposable or cloth diapers and fits standard garbage bags. The the top drawer of the dresser sticks, but otherwise everything is in excellent used condition. Smoke-free home. Paid over $350, asking $150 for the lot. Thanks.

Free couch section
by Sally Ritts 14 Feb '16

14 Feb '16

I picked this up from another HPer when I was awaiting the arrival of my new couch. It has arrived so I am offering this up to the next in need of a comfy place to sit. It is part of a much larger sectional and is very clean and, as mentioned, Very Comfortable. Photo below. You must haul, but it is light and not too big. We will get it to the porch, you take it from there. Would like it out of here soon. Sent from my iPhone

*Happy Valentine's Day Neighbors!* *Dear Beautiful, Loving, Thoughtful Neighbor;* *I have noticed you being present at some beautiful events, with some wonderful people who fight the hard fight of loving and living in this city which has so many challenges and offers so many gifts. I am so glad you are here today with me.* *I want you to know I am with you; we are with you, and that you are not alone in this living community. I want you to know your beauty has been seen, and that you don’t have to hide any longer. * *I want you to write a letter, a Love Letter to yourself about your greatness and dreams or a Love Letter to someone who may have forgotten your fight, your work, your demeanor toward justice. Do this to remind yourself or them that you are still here, your voice is loud and your thinking and days matter. * *I want you and them to know that you will love them through it and that they have your backing as they shed their innocence in love and fight towards justice for themselves and others and that we will create a new ground to walk on and together be a stronger force against all injustices.* *I love you; I love you truly. This is our time and I need you with me. I need your head, voice and heart daily and I love that you are here with us, with yourself and your neighbors.* *Always Yours;* *Maritza* *Love Letter Project first presented at * *The Union Project* *Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania* -- *Maritza Mosquera*

Need recommendations for radiator repair/installation
by Shannon Plush 14 Feb '16

14 Feb '16

Hello! My house was built in 1920 and uses radiator heat (hot water). I don't think my current rads are sized appropriately for their spaces, and I may even be missing one that was removed during a renovation sometime in the last 95 years. My house is freezing, but my gas bill sky rockets in the winter. Clearly some waste happening here. Does anyone have any recommendations on who to call to a) determine if I need new/additional radiators and b) install them? Most HVAC companies I've googled seem to focus on newer heating systems. Thank you!! Shannon Sent from my iPhone

Two dogs in need of homes
by Emily Nicholson 13 Feb '16

13 Feb '16

Hi Neighbors, For those of you keeping track, three of the four dogs I have posted about have now been adopted! The only one still at the shelter is Nyx (here is her info, in case you lost it - http://www.petharbor.com/pet.asp?uaid=WPHS.A205776. I'll just take a moment to plug her again - she is fantastic, and hands down the softest dog you'll ever pet! Her coat feels like velvet!) Anyway, here are two more dogs who could really use some extra help finding their forever homes. The first is Chipz. You can read about her here: http://www.petharbor.com/pet.asp?uaid=WPHS.A206222 Chipz is nine years old, but you would never know it. She is playful and still very active. But she calms easily and walks beautifully on a leash. Yes, she has a weird name. It can be changed. Yes, her picture on the website is kinda goofy. Trust me, it doesn't do justice to her wonderfully sweet face. So why hasn't she been adopted yet, you may be asking. Well...here's the thing...she humps. Everyone. A lot. But - and I know this will sound weird - she does it out of love. She's just so happy and excited when people give her attention that she can't help but...um...display it. I truly believe that when she's settled in a loving home, she can be broken of this habit. She loves the world so much and she just wants the world to love her back. Won't you give a nine-year-old humpy pit bull a chance? (And I know it's weird that she's a female dog who humps. But the fact that she's a girl makes it a lot less disgusting!!) The second dog is Wicket. You can read about him here: http://www.petharbor.com/pet.asp?uaid=WPHS.A205955 Wicket is exceedingly handsome and incredibly smart. He would be perfect for a young active person or couple - I can see him running with you, hiking with you, camping with you and just loving life with you. I said it for Loki and I'll say it again for Wicket - if you happen to be a single guy, Wicket will have the ladies swooning for you and your gorgeous dog! I don't know Wicket as well as I know Nyx or Chipz - everyone has their favorites, and I'm partial to female pit bulls because they remind me of my dog - but I know that Wicket has been at the shelter for over a month now and it's time to get him out of there. He needs to run and stretch his legs. He needs to exercise his brain by going to training classes with you. He needs to get out of that cage. Thanks neighbors, please spread the word!

Looking for Broken Kindle
by Benjamin Johnson 13 Feb '16

13 Feb '16

Hello, and I know it sounds weird at first, but I am looking for a broken kindle to use as a model to make some cases. I am looking for the regular kindle 6th or 7th generation, paperwhite 6th or 7th and may be interested in a fire. To be clear, I don't want a working one as it will be in my workshop and will probably get broken anyway. The screen can be cracked, the battery dead or whatever, but it needs to be whole. If you have one to get rid of, let me know. Willing to pay a reasonable price and pick up. Feel free to contact me via email at LevelUpPgh(a)gmail.com and by phone or text at (724) 421-5269. Thanks, Ben
