Storm window replacement contractor
by Ward and MR Kelsey 04 Mar '20

04 Mar '20

Friends, We live in a typical 100 year old house with wooden double-hung interior windows and wooden "pop-out" storm windows and screens that were added some time after the house was built. These wooden storms need to be replaced with something more modern, but I really want want to keep the wooden interior windows intact--many of them have stained glass or diamond shaped lights inside the muntins. I suspect we are looking at big dollars here, but I would appreciate any suggestions you might have for contractors who could handle this kind of work. Thanks, Ward Kelsey PLEASE REPLY TO TWOKELSEYS(a)GMAIL.COM

Fwd: ACTION ALERT: Tell City Council How You Feel About the Parks Trust Fund
by Jill Weiss 04 Mar '20

04 Mar '20

Hello- My husband and I have signed up to testify in support of the Parks Trust Fund at the City Council meeting on Thursday evening, March 6. According to a study published in Scientific Reports: 'The magnitude of health gains of 2 hours per week spent in nature appear to be significant, on a par with the health differences associated between living in a well-off area and a deprived one. They also seem to apply to everyone, regardless of age, gender, long term illness or disability. “You don’t have to be running around the park, just sitting on a bench will do.”' If you would like to be part of supporting the enormous task the city has in repairing, maintaining, and improving the wonderful parks that Pittsburgh is so lucky to have, please consider signing up to testify. The information is in the forwarded message below. Please help to ensure the legacy of the parks and the wonderful benefits they contribute to our lives in Pittsburgh.

Hello, My husband and I recently had some furniture delivered. While on site, the delivery team dropped what they were carrying and they punctured a hole in our hardwood floors. The job is small; we’re looking to get some repair quotes for the damage. Thanks!

This week's garden class
by Rachel Kudrick 03 Mar '20

03 Mar '20

Hello, all! This week's From Planning To Canning gardening class is "Down & Dirty." Just like most things in life, when you're gardening you have to start at the bottom. And the bottom is the soil in which you plant. Come to class on Wednesday to learn about the importance of: • soil texture • soil structure • pH • nutrient levels • nutrient availability We will learn how to test for these all-important properties, as well as how to amend your soil if it falls short. Two class sessions are available: a morning session from 9:30 to 11:30 am, and an evening session from 6:30 to 8:30 pm. Classes are held at Temple Sinai, 5505 Forbes Avenue in Squirrel Hill, 15217 (the corner of Forbes and Murdoch). The entrance is off of Forbes Avenue, between the two large stone columns. We will meet in room 206 of the school. Classes are $20 each, and I accept cash, check, major credit cards and PayPal. (Sliding scale available. No cost if it's a hardship.) I hope I see you on Wednesday! RSVP preferred, but walk-ins are ALWAYS welcome! Rachel 412-251-9759
