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

Donations to Vintage for seniors
by Highland Park Pittsburgh, PA 26 Jun '20

26 Jun '20

Just a reminder that my front porch is a neighborhood donation drop-off for donations for Vintage. Thank you to everyone who has given so generously over the past few weeks! We will be making another run with donations on Friday but I will continue taking donations after that, too. They are looking for non-perishables in single-sized or small-medium portions; giant sized packages (a la Costco) they have less need for. 1315 N. Sheridan Ave. Thank you!

Please contact me if you are interested to make social distant mask-wearing pickup. *Firewood* nothing fancy and will need to be cut to preference, but completely fine for transporting *Rug * 5 x 8 It will definitely need to be cleaned. I have done this in the past with soap, water, and a hose. It dries nicely if you can place it in the sun to dry. It's a lovely carpet we just don't have a use for it. *Shop Lights* 4' Shop Light with bulbs 18" Shop Light with bulb

birdcage
by Rebecca Wilson 31 May '20

31 May '20

Dear neighbors--I just adopted three parakeets from a home that was already housing too many other rescue pets. They are currently living in a decently spacious rectangular, or oblong, cage, but I'd like to house them in one of those tall cylindrical types, or any kind of tall cage, maybe on a stand, so they're higher up in the room, and can roost on different levels. If you, or anyone you know, has a cage like this in your attic or basement I'd love to buy it from you. Thank you & stay safe! Rebecca Wilson
