[Highland Park] Names of trusted Plumbers
by PPF GR INC 16 Apr '11

16 Apr '11

Highland Park Neighbors gathered these trusted Plumbers: Ron Eikey - very nice, professional, fast and knowledgeable - I believe his number is : 412-881-3456 Leo pasquarelli or something like that on Halket street is awesome. He has helped us for 20+ years. One man shop though so may not come there immediately, but you never know, he may have a recommendation Park Plumbing - Rick - 412-913-8011 We have used Tom Stock Plumbing for years. Very responsive, does good work. 412-856-1077 -jean We like and have been using Richard Dodero (412-243-1796 or 412-906-3772) for several years now. He's fixed several botched jobs done by other plumbers If you do end up using Richard, tell him Tom Lane recommended him. Jimmy Cohen. 412-421-2208 Chris Clair 412-576-9187 I like Roto-Rooter. They get someone out to you quickly and are very honest. You can save some money by looking for their coupon in the yellow pages. Marty M&D Plumbing 2453 Pleuchel Road Sewickley, PA 15143-9154 (412) 741-2786 I don't know how available Marty is for emergency calls, but he is very knowledgeable about older homes and will not overcharge you or do unnecessary work. We had an unsatisfying experience with Pawlak Plumbing before finding Marty. Have you ever tried Nick Pollucci or first call plumbing? Vast experience with both I can share yes a guy named Mark Schatzman 412-302-9400 he is quick to respond , is a great diagnostition and cleans up leaving no mess!!! Susie Binstock Rosenberg I was treated well, promptly, and professionally by STeve Poremski. Don't have his number here, should be easy to find. Although he does a lot of big jobs, Mark Seigle of "Seigle Plumbing, Heating, Cooling" has been great for both plumbing, refitting a new bathroom, and putting in a new furnace. Easy-going, very knowledgeable, and practical. We don't even call anyone else. His cell number is 412-977-2851. We use Standard Plumbing on S. Milvale. They are usually very quick and are familiar with plumbing in older homes. You can tell secretary we referred yo Leo Pasqarelli has done all of the work in my house and done a great job! Phone: (412) 621-9402 we've had great luck with nick poillucci - he fixes problems and guarantees his work. plus, his guys are nice and reliable. he's sometimes difficult to get a hold of, but i've found that if you leave a message, he will call you back - especially if you say it's an emergency. 621-2502 I have had good results with Terry's Plumbing. http://www.superterry.com/about.php I have had a very, very bad experience with Gillece. My very, very easy installation took only 20 minutes but cost me 500$. I needed it done quickly, and I paid for it, big time. Good luck! We use Joe 412-216-4724 Very good company I have the best plumber. I just recommended him on the list serve last week. His name is Bill Dugas, and his phone number is 412.726.1217. Feel free to use my name, and good luck. I have used and I highly suggest. First Call Plumbing (They were on time, clean and neat, and priced right. They did exactly what they said they would) I was thrilled.

Call Tim Pawlak at (412) 341-2815. They're not particular inexpensive, but they've been responsive and reasonable, and they've done good work.

[Highland Park] Brick Pointer Needed, Again
by Shawn McGill 16 Apr '11

16 Apr '11

Still trying to find a punctual, respectable, fair and honest brick pointer. Someone started the job with half the pay, weeks later the job was still unfinished. Needless to say I'm disgusted, every person I have contacted thus far does not show up on time and has just about every excuse known to mankind. If you would so kindly repost recommendations for brick pointers I would be very, very grateful. Thank you, Shawn McGill

[Highland Park] bed and mattress for sale
by Cadie Gilman and Layne Wyse 15 Apr '11

15 Apr '11

resent with smaller images I bought a long twin mattress from The Original Mattress Factory a few years ago, and recently built a frame for it. The mattress is in great shape, and I would include a couple of sets of navy blue sheets if desired. The frame is made to be completely disassembled for mobility and would go back together in minutes with a standard wrench or socket. It is sanded but unfinished - feel free to paint or stain it as desired. It would be a great bed for a growing young person. $150 or best offer. You pick it up, as it will not fit in my car but would easily fit in a minivan or pickup truck or even a station wagon of some sort. I live at 529 N Euclid but am moving in the next few weeks so would like to get rid of it ASAP. Layne 303.550.7354

[Highland Park] Looking for Room Rental
by olga watkins 15 Apr '11

15 Apr '11

A friend of mine is commuting into the city five days a week for work. Because of some long, long work days in his near future, he's looking for a room to rent that he intends to use about twice a week. The room can be unfurnished or furnished, preferably quiet and with a separate entrance, although a separate entrance is not a deal breaker. He is a working professional with both a job and a small business and exemplary personal and professional references. Please send me any info and I will forward. Thanks! Olga

[Highland Park] Charlie Beagle for Adoption
by Difranza, Francine 15 Apr '11

15 Apr '11

Please forward, you never know who might want a dog.. it might be you. This dog looks so loving.. there are plenty of loving, caring people out there. I took two seniors and they have given me so much... and mine look way more senior than this guy. Subject: Charlie Beagle PLEASE RESPOND TO EMAIL AT THE BOTTOM, DO NOT RESPOND TO ME! As soon as you look at Charlie beagle his tail starts wagging. If you call him by name, or speak to him at all, it wags even faster. With a petting or a cuddle the tail is moving so fast, if he were a doggy metronome it would be going "allegro con spirito". This super sweet senior beagle with his soulful brown eyes and charming crooked grin was found wandering, looking for a friend and a good meal. Charlie was very skinny, dirty, full of worms and in dire need of dental care. Saddest of all, he was evidently a dog who had been loved and knew how to give love and nobody was looking for him. Charlie has been thoroughly vetted, including a neuter and doggy dental care. He is eating well and has gained a bit of needed weight. Though definitely a senior, Charlie is bright, alert and active. He does well keeping up with the younger dogs in his foster home and he truly enjoys their company. Despite enduring some hard knocks Charlie still has a positive attitude and an open heart. He retains glimmers of puppy dog spirit and has earned the grace of old dog soul. He most certainly has earned the right to spend the rest of his life in the security and warmth of a truly loving home. To meet Charlie please email muttsrus(a)hotmail.com or call (412) 928-9777 or (412) 928-8931 Thanks Patty Animal Advocates www.animaladvocates.net <http://www.animaladvocates.net/>
