Recommendation - CCI Sound Home Plan
by around theworld 13 Feb '23

13 Feb '23

Spreading the word about a great resource, Conservation Consultants, Inc. (CCI). I’m a new homeowner in Highland Park and a neighbor recommended this fantastic local non-profit that conducts energy assessments on homes and small businesses. My original goal was to have them identify how to address some drafty areas, and I was so surprised at how comprehensive the assessment was. All rooms were professionally measured and all major appliances were assessed…and thank goodness, because they identified a very dangerous clog with my hot water heater that was starting to back carbon monoxide into my home. It was not yet at emergency levels, but it was not picked up during my pre-sale home inspection. They did lead testing, used infrared cameras to check on insulation density and used a blower door test to suck the air out of the home to identify where the drafty areas were. The cost was very reasonable and I have a fantastic report, complete with photos that identified areas to address immediately and what can wait, and projections about how much I could save on my energy bills if I made the improvements. Some I could do myself, such as updating the door sweep and putting some caulk around the entry door. They also have a list of bonded professionals and they are great at helping you to put together an action plan. Wonderful resource for all of us with old homes. All of the contractors are great…Virginia McGrath was mine and she is fantastic…I’ve emailed and called her since my assessment to ask her opinion about a couple of items. House is already warmer…consider them https://getenergysmarter.org/sound-home-plan

2 1990s mirage bookshelf speakers and velodyne subwoofer for sale. $75. I kills me to sell these because they were a fabulous set but I have no use for them in this streaming world. Will throw in the Pioneer tuner for free which worked the last time I used it several years ago. And some speaker wires which look thick to me but what do I know? And, if you want, the Sony 5 disc CD player which didn’t work the last time I tried.

Free upright piano
by sarah dunn 30 Nov '19

Hello neighbors- we are parting with this beautiful piece-please consider! We have inherited another piano and don’t have room for two! We live on the flat side of Jackson so three steps off the porch, then you are on street level. You may notice some chipping on the legs, which was there from the previous owner. It needs a tune up and some key replacement. Thanks! Sarah Sent from my iPhone

Re: Highland Park; Children’s Christmas Pageant at St. Andrew’s Church
by bckfi22＠aol.com 29 Nov '19

Hello neighbors. St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church at the corner of Hampton and North St. Clair streets has a long tradition of the children putting on a Christmas Pageant. We are looking for any children between the ages of four and fourteen who would be interested in participating. Most of the roles are non speaking and costumes will be provided. During the Pageant the children will also be singing some well known Christmas Carols. The Pageant takes place during our 11 a.m. service of Sunday December 15. There will also be a dress rehearsal on Friday December 13 at 6 at the Church with a pizza party for the children after. Please contact Becky Marinov at this email if interested or if you have any questions. Thank you, Becky Marinov Director of the Church School at St. Andrew’s Sent from my iPhone
