[Highland Park] Insulation Company Recommendations
by Tazio Hilbert 30 Aug '12

30 Aug '12

Hello Everyone, I would like to thank my neighbors for once again providing great information, this time for Insulation Companies. Below I have compiled a list of the recommendations we received, thank you again for sharing!! Tazio Hilbert • We have used Casey Insulation on a few different houses in the past. Bob Casey runs his own business and has always done an excellent job for us. When we asked him to insulate the walls in a duplex we own, Bob told us that it would not be cost-effective to do so. When there was a big squirrel's nest in the attic of the house, Bob pulled it out rather than taking the lazy way and jut dumping insulation over it. When I was on the internet looking for his contact info, I noticed that he has an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau. Here is his business number: (412) 635-2499 • I have used this company before and again last week to insulate the ceiling on a flat roof house this company did a good job and the price is fair ,they give free estimates JD Gales Insulation 412-771-6675 • I have been told that Alpine Insulating is the best in the area. This word came from local energy auditors, who should know. • We used Western Pennsylvania Geothermal Heating and Cooling (http://www.wpghci.com/services-cellulose.html) for our attic and USA Insulation for our walls. Many companies wouldn't touch our walls as we only have a small seam between two layers of masonry (brick and terra cotta tile) - I believe USA Insulation is the only company that offers a proprietary foam that they inject from the outside to fill the seam. Very pleased with both companies and our house is much more comfortable now • We used Mincin and are very satisfied. • Call Rich Goff--he's been doing insulation as well as pest removal for over 25 years. He's absolutely terrific. His number is 724-316-8377.

[Highland Park] Couple Seeking Rental Housing
by judi teeter 30 Aug '12

30 Aug '12

Hi Neighbors, I am posting this for a friend: Hello! We are two Texas transplants who moved to Pittsburgh last December, and are hoping to find a rental property in the Highland Park area. Highland Park seems like such a great neighborhood - we like the location, dining options and cozy feel. We've seen there are several apartment complexes scattered throughout, but we were hoping to find a space within a house. A little bit about us - We are both full-time working professionals as well as graduate students. We are fairly quiet people, but love to meet others. We'll be ready to move in in late March/early April 2013. Please contact us at Cristin.Ashley(a)gmail.com with any renting opportunities. Thank you! Michael & Ashley Oates

[Highland Park] free bookshelves, couch/chair/ottoman, and baby bouncer
by Shannon Hula 30 Aug '12

30 Aug '12

Hi all- I have the following to give away to new homes. I'd like to arrange pick-up this weekend: (A) 3 IKEA bookshelves; I think they are these<http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/60103750/> They are the "hidden mount" kind, are 2" thick, and I have 2 long ones and one short one, in birch color. (B) Couch + chair + "cube" ottoman (see pics): Structurally, these are in fine shape, but our cats have clawed the fabric mercilessly in a few spots. They would be great for someone who had the time and effort to get slipcovers for them. The ottoman (not pictured) is dark brown and in the same fabric. (C) Evenflo "Johnny Jump-Up" Baby bouncer<http://www.diapers.com/p/evenflo-johnny-jump-up-frogs-340384?site=CA&utm_so…> Please email me if you are interested in picking up any of these items this weekend (Saturday or Sunday). Thanks! Shannon [image: Inline image 1] [image: Inline image 2]

[Highland Park] Help Donate School Supplies for East Liberty Youth
by Leah Marmo 30 Aug '12

30 Aug '12

Hi Neighbors! I am currently working with a church in East Liberty to organize a "Back to School Block Party" for the newly reopened PGH Obama School (formerly Peabody High) youth. I've included an announcement about the event at the end of this email. We are still in need of school supply donations to be handed out at the event. If anyone is interested in donating to a great cause, please email me and i can pick up the supplies at your convenience! Supplies needed: school binders bookbags combination locks folders pens/pencils notebooks etc. Also, we are also seeking food donations (hot dogs, chips, cookies, water). If you would like to help in ANY WAY for this event, please let me know!! Thanks so much Crossroads Church is excited to announce the upcoming Back to School Block Party scheduled for Saturday, September 8, 2012, Time: 1-5pm. The day will consist of family fun and entertainment, including bands, a DJ, carnival games, and food but ALSO serve as a "resource fair" for families to learn about available resources in the East Liberty community, including Energy Assistance, Job Training, Health Screenings, Health Care information, etc. We will also be giving out school supplies to children and youth for their upcoming school year. Our vision is for the block party to be an community event, rich with non-profits, churches, businesses, and social services. -- Leah Jo Marmo, MSW "Don't ask yourself what the world needs. Ask yourself what makes you come alive and then go do that. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive."
