Girl Scout Pick Up for Christmas Tree Recycling 2022
by Girl Scout Troop 52498 30 Dec '21

30 Dec '21

Hello! I´m writing with my annual offer for Christmas tree pickup for recycling with the city´s Christmas tree recyclling effort. We hope you all had a good Christmas and are looking forward to a healthy and fun New Year! We love that our neighbors look forward to this effort so much! We already had a handful of customers proactively reach out for details about the Christmas Tree pick up prior to us sending out any notice at all! *We will be picking up the trees to bring to the city lots for recycling on Sunday, January 16. Please sign up here if you are interested and if you are located in Highland Park, East Liberty or Morningside: * *https://forms.gle/Wc75DNuBEunoSTqs8 <https://forms.gle/Wc75DNuBEunoSTqs8>* We will continue last year's contact-free pick up policies: donations via PayPal (gstroop52498(a)gmail.com) or cash attached to tree, trees set out curb side or at an easy to access location *off* of the porch. Full details can be found at the form listed above. If you know folks who live in Shadyside, Point Breeze or Larimer who would like their tree picked up, you can share this link for them to sign up: https://forms.gle/ohEZM3jEKJUEstnUA If you want to manage your own tree, check here for the closest location to drop off your trees this year: https://pittsburghpa.gov/dpw/xmas-tree-recycling. I would also like to note that maintaining a yard debris pile in your yard is good for the local birds and wildlife. I´ve seen recommendations to add your tree to a bird feeding post, to allow the birds some cover over the winter months. Then, in the summer, you could saw up your tree and add it to those ubiquitous firepits that everyone seems to have added to their yard during COVID. ;-) Happy New Year to you all!

Looking for scrap granite
by Caroline Harris 30 Dec '21

30 Dec '21

Hi Neighbors, by any chance does any one have some scrap granite, like from a countertop? My husband needs about 12- inch by 12-inch size for polishing his woodworking planes. Size does not need to be exact, just flat. Thanks, Caroline Sent from my iPhone

Need a loaner laptop
by Jordana Rosenfeld 30 Dec '21

30 Dec '21

Hi, all — I spilled water on my computer last night and it may be dead, still figuring that out. In the mean time, I’m not yet ready to pull the trigger on buying a new computer but I have some deadlines this week and next I need internet access to meet. Does anyone have an old laptop in working condition that I might be able to borrow for a week or two while I figure this whole thing out? Thanks and Happy New Year! Jordana

Curb Alert: Chairs
by Sofia Sparks 30 Dec '21

30 Dec '21

Two cream leather-like chairs, well-loved by two cats but very comfortable for sitting! We just throw blankets over the sides to hide cat marks. Roughly 2.5x2.5’, feet come off easily for transport. Will be putting one at a time out per bulk pickup rules but let me know if you’d like both! Sent from my iPhone

For sale: Lifespan treadmill desk - $250
by Marie Cosgrove-Davies 29 Dec '21

29 Dec '21

Hi neighbors, I don't use my treadmill desk enough, so I'm looking to reclaim the space it takes up. Lifespan is THE most reliable treadmill desk company, so this unit is good for many more years. It's an integrated desk and treadmill set up - the treadmill controls are on the front of the desk and the treadmill and desk slot together for stability. Treadmill measures ~66"d x 25" w; adjustable-height standing desk surface measures ~32"d x 47"w. $250. More details on the Craiglist post <https://pittsburgh.craigslist.org/fuo/d/pittsburgh-lifespan-tr800-dt3-tread…>. Let me know if you have any questions. Happy new year (almost!) --Marie

ISO mason for small indoor job

Can anyone recommend someone to repoint an interior basement wall on an old (1910s) townhome? The wall has been painted over by previous owners, but the paint and the lime (?) mortar are coming off, and it's definitely time for some upkeep! Thank you! -- *Sarah Markwardt* samarkwardt(a)gmail.com
