Large hosta crowns for sale
by Rachel Kudrick 15 Apr '25

15 Apr '25

Hello all! I have 20 large leaf Bressingham Blue hosta crowns available. They are currently packed in moist soil, and are ready to plant. Bressingham Blue hostas get 18"-28" tall, are hardy zones 3-9 (we're zone 6) and it's leaves get up to 15" long and 10"-12" across. The color is a darker teal with dusky, powder-blue notes, and its flowers are almost totally white and attract hummingbirds. (See pictures.) It is a shade-partial shade plant, and they are very low maintenance. As a caveat, deer tend to really love hosta, so take that into consideration. They are $9 each or 3/$25. That's less than you'd pay at Walmart (3/$28). Call/text will get a much quicker response. 412-251-9759 Rachel

Cat Sitting + Cozy Furnished Suite for Female Tenant (Short-Term)
by Lauren Panza 15 Apr '25

15 Apr '25

Hi neighbors! I’ll be traveling for two weeks in June and am looking for a responsible female tenant to rent my third-floor master suite during that time—and help care for my two sweet cats while I’m away. My home is on Farragut & Wellesley one block from the N. Highland bus stop. The suite is fully furnished with its own private bathroom, and it’s available from *May 30th through July 19th*. I usually list it on Airbnb, but I’m offering a discounted rate to someone local or referred, especially if they're able to feed and take care of my girls while I’m gone. Included in the stay: ✨ All utilities 💧 Fresh spring water 🧹 Biweekly housekeeper Photos and details are on my Airbnb listing—happy to share the link if you're interested or know someone who might be a great fit! Thank you! Lauren -- *Lauren Panza*

Pets in need of homes, if you have room, please adopt, the shelters and rescues are full
by Susan Hudachek 15 Apr '25

15 Apr '25

This article was posted by Pet Search, but applies everywhere: Pet Search I feel like the general public has no idea what the animal crisis currently is. So here's an update: - The animal shelters are full- The rescues are full- No kill shelters are full - Adoptions are at an all time low- Intake is at an all time high- Euthanasia for space is at an all time high Breeders are surrendering ENTIRE LITTERS, parents included. They arent selling. Puppies, pregnant moms, and good young pets are being euthanized daily. There is no space. The chances that there is a "really nice" home just waiting for your dog or cat are slim. Spay/neuter your pet. Train your dog. They are fine being home while you work. They sleep most of the day anyway. There isn't magically someone who has more time or can take better care. Stop trying to rehome them or surrendering them to the shelter because you don't have time. If you need help, there are organizations that can help with food and possibly medical. And/or direct you to an organization that can. Please keep your pet. -Signed an exhausted rescue volunteerPicture of Tuna… Tuna has been in foster care for over 3 years… he is 5 years old, good with other dogs, cats and kids.Fully vetted, neutered and microchipped Zero applicationsPet Search KL #3301Washington PA 15301

Looking for Roofer/Contractor recommendations to prepare for solar
by Scott Meldrum 14 Apr '25

14 Apr '25

Howdy Neighbors, I'm looking for any contractors or companies to call (or avoid) to help restructure the roof of our garage this summer. We're looking to install solar panels on our garage roof and this restructuring would maximize the amount of panels we can install and the amount of energy those panels can generate. The roof is old and requires a replacement, and we also want to convert it from a four-sided hipped roof to a single plane roof (the new angle would also require adding some siding). As always, any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you, Scott Meldrum

FOR SALE: Osprey Wheeled Travel Pack
by Rob Nichols 14 Apr '25

14 Apr '25

Hi there, I'm selling a new, never-been-used Osprey Wheeled Travel Pack - $150 or best offer. I bought this for a trip which I now won't be taking. I bought it new on Amazon for $300 but I've missed the return window so I can't return it. My mistake is your gain! It can be carried on your back like a backpack, but also has a handle and wheels so you can pull it like a traditional suitcase. Pictures from Amazon are attached. Again, this is brand new and still has the original tags on it. Please let me know if you're interested. Thanks, Rob Nichols 412-432-6122 rwnt22(a)gmail.com
