Interested in hosting a Japanese college student for a semester?
by Sarah Ramsey 19 Aug '25

19 Aug '25

Hello, neighbors! A friend of mine is looking for a few more host families for a group of Japanese college students arriving in Pittsburgh Sept 5 and leaving January 8th. Compensation is $855/month. You would provide a bedroom, 3 meals a day and a welcoming place for them to land :) We’ve done it in the past and hope to do it again in the future. It was a great experience for my kids and we still text back and forth and keep in touch. Please reach out if you are interested and I can connect you! Thanks! Sarah

Avoid these tree people
by nancy gohring 18 Aug '25

18 Aug '25

Just sharing a poor experience we had this afternoon with a tree company that I would recommend avoiding. They were pruning our tree but at our neighbor's request and from our neighbor's yard. I'm totally fine w/trimming branches in their yard. No problem at all, happens all the time with our other neighbors. But the guys working for Fred Crum's company came into my yard without asking or even giving me a heads up. And when I questioned about coming into my property, they told me to call the cops if I didn't like it. And then proceeded to call me a "d*ck". Then they basically just butchered the tree -- cutting in the middle of large limbs, not trying to make sure the tree remains balanced, etc. Luckily I documented it all so that when the tree gets diseased or starts to decline, it'll be easy to show that they performed work. Save your tree. Choose someone other than the ironically named Fred Crum Responsible Tree Service.

Radiator sandblasting or stripping recommendation
by Jeffrey Anderson 17 Aug '25

17 Aug '25

We are looking for a recommendation for someone to sandblast or strip 100 years of multiple layers of paint off a hot water radiator. If they also prime and paint, that is a plus. Thanks, Jeff
