Hi folks! In an effort to seal out the stink bugs, I am looking for a handyman to seal up the wall/ceiling around my main sewer stack in our bathroom, as they appear to be entering the house there. High ceilings/plaster walls covered with wallpaper. Thanks Sena Thompson

[Highland Park] landscaper/tree service recommendation
by Jean Siegel 01 Jun '11

01 Jun '11

Hi neighbors, I have an ugly scraggly hedge along the front of my property that I want to take out. After cutting it way back, I've come to learn that the trunks are a couple of inches in diameters, so I have to hire someone to grind the whole mess out. Who would you recommend? Thank you so much, -jean

[Highland Park] coreopsis
by Amy P. Kennedy 01 Jun '11

01 Jun '11

Hi neighbors, Just dug some coreopsis (low bushy--but not woody--plant with gold flowers) out of a bed. They're a nice filler for a bare space---they don't get out of control or too tall. They're in bright green buckets on the back stoop. If anyone would like them, help yourself. Take the plant and bucket. 1272 N. Negley (corner of Negley and Callowhill) (stoop is in the alley off Callowhill--first building on the right from Callowhill) Thanks. Amy

[Highland Park] Large Mirror - FOR SALE
by Rob Nichols 31 May '11

31 May '11

Hello Neighbors, I have a large wall mirror for sale (pics attached). Frame measures 45" x 33" (glass is 35" x 23"). It's not an antique but would go well with contemporary or traditional decor. I had it on a wall in my old Victorian house here in Highland Park and it looked great. Asking $50 or best reasonable offer. I'm moving in a month and have no wall space for the mirror in my new place. Give me a shout if you're interested. Cheers, Rob rwnt22(a)gmail.com (412) 432-6122

[Highland Park] List of knife sharpening recomendations
by Jonathan King 31 May '11

31 May '11

Thanks so much to everyone for responding (too many to respond to individually). It's just amazing how well this community listserv works for legitimate postings,,, Sooo, it's a short, but very impressive, list - a grand total of exactly one (almost) unanimous recommendation by many different people,,, drumroll, please,,, <http://www.yellowpages.com/pittsburgh-pa/mip/maturi-brothers-inc-2478150?li d=2478150> Maturi Brothers Inc 3908 Penn Ave, Pittsburgh, PA 15224 (412) 682-5828 They are open 7-3 0r 4, m-f just walk in the back door from the parking lot and tell them you need your knives sharpened. They'll have them done in a few minutes. $2.50 a knife The sharpen just about everything else as well. I like this place a lot. Besides doing great work, they sell first rate reconditioned restaurant kitchen knives at very cheap prices. The chefs at Food Glorious Food have suggested Maturi Brothers I've gone there for years and been pleased. ,,, I know a lot of restaurants use them. Other recommendations I've used Lee's Hardware in Homestead, on the other side of the High Level Bridge ... going right off the bridge going into the main street/ commercial area of Homestead. I've also heard the small hardware store on Murray Ave, near Beacon St., sharpens knives. At Ralph's Surplus/Outdoor Store on Rt. 22 in Monroeville I purchased a dandy knife sharpener; it is idiot proof to which I can attest the claim. Best, Jonathan
