[Highland Park] Jackson St garage rental
by Jesse Richards 26 Aug '09

26 Aug '09

I was wondering if anyone on Jackson St between 6300 and 6600 has a garage or even a space available in a larger garage for a car available for rent. Could be a good time to get rid of some junk and make some extra money too! Thanks, Jesse 6437 Jackson _________________________________________________________________ Get back to school stuff for them and cashback for you. http://www.bing.com/cashback?form=MSHYCB&publ=WLHMTAG&crea=TEXT_MSHYCB_Back…

Dear neighbors, just to let you know that our tabby cat, Fritzi, is still on the loose. I posted some flyers with his pictures around our neighborhood, at Tazza D'Oro and the park. Please keep your eyes open for him and check your garages and basements. Many thanks! Ilva -------------- FRITZI: tall (15 pounds) brown tabby cat with black stripes, green eyes. Wears reflective collar with tags (blue rabies + yellow name/phone-number-tag). Microchipped (24petwatch.com) Very friendly, but shies away from loud sounds, dogs, cars. -------------- -- Ilva Putzier i.putzier(a)web.de (+1) 412-638-2587 ______________________________________________________ GRATIS für alle WEB.DE-Nutzer: Die maxdome Movie-FLAT!

[Highland Park] dirty bucket part deux...
by Alison Bogle 26 Aug '09

26 Aug '09

Hello Neighbors, The Rubbermaid container full of dirt is still in front of our house so a) (and probably most likely) no one really wanted a bucket of dirt or b) my original post was misleading. The tub is not actually right in front of our house - it actually looks like it's in front of our neighbor's house and is often hidden by cars parked on the street. If you are interested in the tub, it is at the far right end of our wall (looking directly at the house) - a big gray container. It needs to move on by Saturday a.m., so if you're interested, take it on home :-) Thanks, Alison _________________________________________________________________ Windows Live: Keep your friends up to date with what you do online. http://windowslive.com/Campaign/SocialNetworking?ocid=PID23285::T:WLMTAGL:O…

[Highland Park] List of Concrete Contractors
by Marsha 26 Aug '09

26 Aug '09

A few weeks ago I had asked for recommendations for Masons/Concrete Contractors. Thanks to all for your replies and thoughts. After looking at different concrete jobs around the neighborhood, we felt that DiBucci's work looked the best. Every job of his that we saw was flawless. Puccurelli (sp?) was another contractor whose work we saw that looked particularly good, although we didn't get any recommendations for him. I had used him many years ago to build a wall and was quite happy with his work. Below is the list of responses we received. Many Thanks! We haven't had our porch rebuilt, but we did have our backyard and driveway bricked over and one wall of our garage rebuilt all as one job and it is very well done. It was done by Filippo Surra, (412) 826-9502. Lori Kasenter Al Novak, owner of Unique Stone, is excellent with concrete, brick, & stone work 412-956-5725 Yes, I had two chimneys torn down and rebuilt by Anderson's Chimney and Masonry specialist. I initially thought that they only did chimney repairs and cleanings. To my surprise Mr. Anderson was very knowledgeable in masonry repairs and restorations. Mr. Anderson came over with three other workers and built scaffolding, torn down two chimneys which are approximately 40 feet off the ground. They rebuilt both chimneys in 5 days. They were very professional, neat and clean. I would highly recommend Anderson's Chimney and Masonry services to perform and complete all your masonry needs. The number to ANderson's chimney and Masonry services is 412 779-7529.. DiBucci is the best. Be prepared to spend big $ if you want to do it correctly. The best in town. Tom Thorp Construction 412.441.3478 he is a local from Morningside and I am sure they can give you addresses of work they have completed. Great, honest, experienced business owner. We recently had concrete work done by Cunic construction (Sal-owner) We got LOTS of estimates and referrals (several outrageous- paying for the name!) and found them to be reasonably priced and good work. You can stop to check ours out although it has not been sealed as of yet- must cure for 2wks.-our top steps , portico base and front step under the french doors were done. His #is 412-537-9051 Hi, we just used dibucci and brothers for our driveway and 2 steps and I cannot recommend them more highly..They are prompt, professional, and clean! Their estimates are in the ball park to others that we got! please email me if you have more questions. Vladimir Mishkov did our front steps. He also did the front sidewalk. Reasonable price. His telephone number is 412-377-1568

[Highland Park] contractor warning
by dbbogen＠aol.com 26 Aug '09

26 Aug '09

We had a versa-lok patio put in 5 years ago by Anthony Landscaping. The fellow we dealt with was Chuck Palmieri. He made very specific recommnedations about what would work for the? patio and seemed good as did the work for a year. But the patio began to buckle as the sand beneath it settled. They came back once to put more sand beneath it but it kept settling unevenly. I called last Spring to ask them to fix it again as it was still under warranty and they agreed to come do it -- but never did. I let him know we have small children next door and I was concerned they would trip and fall right off the raised patio. After six weeks and many phone calls Palmieri told me he had too much work to get to us anytime soon.? So in my view they failed to honor the warranty and I wanted people to know. I am currently looking for someone else to fix their work.

[Highland Park] Vendor/Contractor Warnings ...
by Bill Maxwell 26 Aug '09

26 Aug '09

Hello all: I've been reading the vendor/contractor warnings and have been surprised that there have been so many of them. The thought that occurs to me is that there seem to be plenty of instances where getting an attorney involved could make a world of difference. A vendor tends to respond to a phone call or letter from an attorney MUCH differently than a call or letter from you or me. But generally the problem is (1) we have no clue who to call (and wind up throwing darts at the Yellow Pages) ... and (2) we figure it will cost too much. I've found a very happy solution for myself, and I've used them on all sorts of legal or legal-related issues -- and that is a membership with PrePaid Legal Services, Inc. For an insanely small amount of money each month (cancellable at any time with nothing silly like an early termination fee), I get unlimited telephone consultations on both personal and business questions. I am also entitled to a phone call or letter on my behalf on each issue, all included in the monthly fee. Each time I've needed them, it was like using a muscle I never knew I had! In the spirit of full disclosure, I like the service so much that I am now also representing them. But I do not want this to sound like a commercial posting. So this is all I'll say in this message. If you have interest in learning more, you can visit www.wjmaxwell.info. If you then would want to learn still more, my contact information is on that website. For 89 cents a day (that is not a typo), the service also includes a phenomenal Identity Theft program -- the ONLY one that restores your identity FOR you instead of handing you a do-it-yourself kit.
