Advice Regarding Water/Sewer Line Protection Plans
by Katarina Sumanova Harris 30 Jan '21

30 Jan '21

Thank you for all your responses. Many of you suggested adding sewer line protection through my existing home insurance, unfortunately my insurance company does not offer it. The only insurance company that got mentioned, and multiple times, was Erie. Hope this helps others as well. Katarína

reminder re: petitions for Breonna's Law and ending solitary confinement
by Erin Marie Hatala 29 Jan '21

29 Jan '21

Hello neighbors, A reminder to let me know (via erinmarie.williams(a)gmail.com) if you'd like to sign the petitions to get Breonna's Law and to the movement to end solitary confinement in AGH jail onto the ballot this year. The important bits of my original message are copied below. The Alliance for Police Accountability is gathering signatures to get initiatives for the passage of Breonna's Law (ending no-knock warrants) and to stop solitary confinement (in the AGH County jail) on the May ballots (you can read more about it here: https://apa-pgh.org/ballot/) I will be gathering signatures for this effort on Saturday, January 30th from 2-4pm. Because of the obvious, I am going only to the homes of people that let me know that they want to sign. *If this is you, please email me (erinmarie.williams(a)gmail.com <erinmarie.williams(a)gmail.com>) and I'll stop by your house between the hours stated. *Please include your address if you respond. I will of course be (double) masked and gloved (plus mittens, it is going to be cold!). *To minimize risk, please plan on using your own pen.* I will also have disposable medical grade gloves with me if you would like to use them while handling the clipboard holding the petitions. -- Erin Marie Williams-Hatala, Ph.D. Associate Professor of Biology Chatham University Pittsburgh, PA *Office:* 226b Buhl Hall *Phone*: 412-365-1194 *pronouns: *she & her

Re: Highland Park: Free light fixtures
by Becky Marinov 29 Jan '21

29 Jan '21

We have four light fixtures available for free. In all honesty they should be rewired but the glass shades are in good shape and could be used or repurposed. Photos available upon request. They are on our porch (1122 Winterton St.). You can take any or all parts. We are a nonsmoking home but do have 2 cats. Thanks, Becky Marinov Sent from my iPhone

Hi neighbors, Has anyone by chance recently compiled a list of plumber recommendations (and people to avoid)? We’re looking for someone to diagnose a possible drain clog in basement pipes. Thank you!

29 Jan '21

Hello, My house was built in 1926 so I am considering buying sewer, and perhaps also water line insurance. I would like to know what experience you have with this kind of protection plans, whether it is worth it, which companies you use, and if they really covered repairs. Thank you so much, Katarína
