Hello Neighbors! We are having a retaining wall rebuilt. Part of the process is to dig back the hillside a bit so we will have clean fill available the weekend of June 4th. Any takers? We will probably be able to dump if you give an address. Thank you, Camille Lurie N. Highland

[Highland Park] need metal work done?
by Shannon Hula 25 May '11

25 May '11

Hi Neighbors- I just wanted to spread the word about Colin Carrier, a very talented and friendly neighbor of ours who does amazing metal work. Colin's business, London Pattern Metal Works is a full-service iron works and blacksmithing shop that forges unique fire screens, railings, furniture and more. We had Colin make stair and porch rails for us recently, and we couldn't be more pleased. His work is impeccable and he is completely dependable and easy to work with. It is obvious that he really cares about the work that he does -- no matter how small. He has done a number of domestic projects in our neighborhood, but he is also a gifted metal work artist, offering much more than just railing. Best part--he lives right here in our own neighborhood. Check out his website: www.londonpattern.com, email him at londonpattern(a)gmail.com, or give him a call at (412) 996-8555. If you have any questions about the work we had done or you want to come by to take a look, feel free to contact Us. We cannot recommend Colin highly enough! Shannon & Will Hula

[Highland Park] cork flooring questions
by Stephanie Walsh 25 May '11

25 May '11

We are considering installing cork flooring when we remodel our kitchen. If you have experience with cork flooring, we would love to hear about it. What are the pros and/or cons of the different types of installation (floating or adhesive)? How durable is it? How easy to maintain is it? Is there a local company you would/wouldn't recommend for supplies and/or installation? Other thoughts?? Thanks so much! Stephanie
