[Highland Park] Looking for large dog crate
by Jennifer Defoe 04 Jan '10

04 Jan '10

Hello, Our 5 month old puppy will soon have outgrown her training crate, and we are looking for a larger one to replace it. Her current crate is the coated black metal kind with removable plastic tray, and it is 36 x 23 x 25. If anyone has one that is bigger than this they are not currently using we would be happy to pay a reasonable price to take it off your hands! Thanks, Jennifer Euclid Ave

[Highland Park] Weatherproofing follow-up
by Robert Max Junker 02 Jan '10

02 Jan '10

Thanks to everyone who sent in suggestions and referrals for my question about weatherproofing. There are quite a few good suggestions. I received several requests to post all the recommendations back to the list. Happy New Year. Max Junker -We used cotton batting insulation from Artemis on Butler St. in Lawrenceville. Something I have heard many people say is worthwhile is having an energy audit done by a qualified firm. I only know of Conservation Consultants Inc. on the S. Side, but I'm sure there are others. Green Building Alliance might have a couple recommendations and might also have something to say on the best insulation, etc. On second thought, I do remember a firm that specialized in insulation and weather-sealing. InsulRight or InsulLight or something like that. -Last year I had a home energy audit done. See more here: http://www.pahomeenergy.com/resources.html. That's a state agency and they were very helpful to me. They also have a list of approved auditors. I ended up using West Penn Energy Solutions: http://www.westpennenergysolutions.com/ I liked the guy (Michael) a lot and he did a good job. But it is true that he focused on the areas that he works in, namely, insulation. I did get insulation done in the basement and attic (since I have brick walls and there's not much they can do with that). It was expensive, but it has made a tremendous difference both to my heating bill as well as to my comfort level in the house. But I think, regardless of what some people say, that it's important also to replace some windows and doors. I would recommend the home energy audit. Many people suggested that I use the local non-profit, the name of which I can't remember. I did use them at first but I did not have a good experience with them. Luckily, the state agency helped me with that. It's all a very long story that I'd be happy to tell you about on the phone if you're interested. Just give me a call. -You might want to call Conservation Consultants on the South Side. If you aren't familiar with them, they are a wonderful organization. http://www.ccicenter.org/ They do energy audits and even if you don't wish to have that done, they could probably provide a recommendation for a contractor. Kevin said he knows of a couple of people (including one on Greystone) that have used USA Insulation and they were very happy. They blow foam insulation into the walls but Kevin said he thinks it is pretty permanent and maybe not the best solution if, for instance, you want to update your electrical sometime in the future. I would really try to give CCI a call. They are incredibly helpful and knowledgeable. -Anthony Robinson 412 403 4857 -Mincin Insulation did a great job in our attic, and they are very reliable, lots of people I know were very pleased with them too. http://www.mincin-insulation.com/ -Not for weather proofing but for most other items around the house OCEAN BREEZE Home Improvements 412-805-5602 -Hi Robert, I know that zambano and sons do this. They are based out of bloomfield. -If interested, I can give you some suggestion on insulation and weatherproofing for your home. My name is Lindel Hodge I am a small contractor in the area, I've done many jobs in Highland Park and East Liberty. If interested I can be reached at (412)731-1496 (412)731-1496 or email: lhodge4(a)verizon.net -Robert, I am a local contractor and can come give you suggestions about the best way to stop drafts and make your house more energy efficient. Give me a call 412-441-4240 (H) 412-853-7782 (C) or e-mail me at rsellner(a)comcast.net. Thanks, Rad Sellner

[Highland Park] Fwd: [arldogfosters] Wishbone [1 Attachment]
by Kimberly Latta 02 Jan '10

02 Jan '10

Dear Neighborhood: I am passing on a message about a loving dog who needs a home. Is there anyone out there who could take in Wishbone? Kimberly ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Cleda Klingensmith <cklingensmith(a)animalrescue.org> Date: Sat, Jan 2, 2010 at 12:37 AM Subject: [arldogfosters] Wishbone [1 Attachment] To: arldogfosters(a)yahoogroups.com [Attachment(s) <#125ed8ada839fe30_TopText> from Cleda Klingensmith included below] After spending 5 fun days at my house, it's time for me to find a new foster home for Wishbone. I'd love to keep him her until he finds his forever home, but only one foster kitten likes him and the rest of the cats have been hiding in the basement. I know he doesn't mean them any harm, but they aren't willing to take the chance. My dog Redman just tries to stay out of his way. Wishbone is a terrific dog but he's been at the shelter since August and is getting more apprehensive and shy over time. We had a little "marking" issue the first day, but he's been fine since then. I just hate the idea of putting him back in a cage after letting him sleep in bed for the last 4 nights. He started out on the sofa and worked his way upstairs. He is a bed hog! I'll be bringing him with me on Saturday. Let me know if you can give Wishbone some home time.
