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

Free treadmill
by June Edwards 05 Jan '22

05 Jan '22

Hi neighbors, I have a lightly used treadmill to give away. I tried the Veterans and many other not-for-profit organizations but I would need to pay “PickUpMyDonation” to come and take it to one of those organizations. I’ll do that if no one in in my neighborhood contacts me. The treadmill is on the first floor but there are five steps up to my front porch. It would be easier for two people who have access to a van or truck Here’s the info: Treadmill: Pro-Form 365s, CrossWalk. Excellent condition, lightly used. All parts and manual included. Size folded up is 33” wide, 28” deep, 58” high. Unfolded size is 68” deep. Please contact me if you have questions or are interested: edwards.june(a)gmail.com 412-559-8168 Thanks, June

Sear Steel Letter-sized 2 drawer file cabinet
by Our House 31 Dec '21

31 Dec '21

An oldy but goody. This steel 2 drawer letter-sized Sears filing cabinet has some cosmetic blemishes, but it's otherwise in good condition. The drawer mechanisms work smoothly, but there isn't a key for the lock. The drawers weigh about five pounds each, and can be removed for easy transport. The cabinet weighs about 35 pounds. The buyer should be able to remove the cabinet and drawers for transport (a short distance and no stairs are involved in getting it to the street). Asking $45 cash, payable at pickup. I can send additional photos to serious inquiries.
