Glad bulbs free to a good home
by THOMAS WATERS 28 Jun '16

28 Jun '16

I recently got a grab bag of bulbs and plants and it contained more gladiolus than I have a space for. It is getting late for them (thus why they were in a gab bag dirt cheap) but they look like they’re in good condition. There is a bag of 60 mixed glads and a bag of 30 yellow glads. I’ll set these out under my mailbox for anyone to pick them up. Please do not open the bags and take just a few. Please take the whole bag. Address 5900 Jackson although the door and mailbox are really on N Beatty. This is the corner house. Enjoy! -- Thomas Waters thomaswaters(a)mac.com <mailto:thomaswaters@mac.com> about.me/tcwaters <http://about.me/tcwaters> thomascwaters.com <http://thomascwaters.com/> 2012 Beacons of Equality Award Winner; 2015 Best of the Burghosphere Award Winner!

by Kate Freed 28 Jun '16

I went to a rain barrel workshop with the PA Resources Council and received the pieces (minus the barrel) needed to construct one. I never got a barrel to finish the project (and now have one from Nine Mile Run). So - FREE to anyone interested, the pieces (but no barrel) needed to create a rain barrel. If interested, contact me to arrange for pick up. Kate Freed kmfreed(a)gmail.com

Licensed contractor in neighborhood?
by April Merrell 28 Jun '16

28 Jun '16

I need someone to check and sign off on a few minor things Thursday or Friday (or over the weekend, if you'd like)--definitely less than an hour of your time. I will need a receipt, and of course, pay you for your time! Just doesn't seem big enough to call someone for, but you could walk over and make yourself an hours worth of pay in about 10 minutes (and most of that will be saying hello)! Many thanks, April Merrell 412.450.0854

1. Looking to buy canning jars of the size for jam-- small. I only need 5-6. I don't need lids, just jars. 2. Does anyone know when and where the goats will be clearing weeds at the park? The last news in the paper a while ago said that they would be at Highland Park at the end of June. Could one go a distance away to watch? Many thanks. --
