[Highland Park] CANON PRINTER CARTRIDGES size BLK 5
by Claudia K Viehland 11 Aug '11

11 Aug '11

I upgraded my printer from one Canon model to another-turns out the new version uses black cartridges size 5 only, leaving me with two leftover sealed size 5 BLK cartridges (of course I bought them ahead of need.). Anyone have a use for them? Usually $15 or more apiece - best offer? Claudia K. Viehland (Kim) 1401 N. Negley Ave. Pittsburgh, PA 15206 412-362-0220 / cell: 412-498-0226

[Highland Park] Tile roof/water runoff contractor recommendation
by Rebecca Maclean 11 Aug '11

11 Aug '11

Hi everyone - We are looking for contractor recommendations for issues with our roof. We have a terra cotta tile roof which has a steep pitch in several places, joining to create a fairly significant water runoff issue near our front door. We also are having water infiltration problems on our living room chimney breast and ceiling which we suspect is related to the runoff. Recommendations for experienced contractors, as well as problems that you may have had, are greatly appreciated. Thanks, Becky
