[Highland Park] contractor referral - house exterior AND tile/flooring installer
by Erica Olden 19 Apr '09

19 Apr '09

Hi there! Asking for a friend: I would love to have some recommendations for a general contractor who is able to work on stucco on the outside of a house. Also looking for tile installation - we used Sam Pace before, but now cannot locate him. If anyone knows his current number, that would be great OR if anyone knows of a reasonably priced tile installer, that would be appreciated, too! Thanks so much, erica

Re: [Highland Park] Free couch bed
by tjungle＠comcast.net 19 Apr '09

19 Apr '09

FREE! La-Z-Boy couch bed and throw pillows (images attached). Pros: Very sturdy frame (not loose or creaky) and the mechanism for the Queen bed works flawlessly. Cushions are a bit saggy but still have enough support in them. No stains or large tears in fabric. >From a non-smoking home with no pets. Works well for smaller spaces. Dimensions: 90" W x 24" H x 36" D Cons There's no mattress for the bed. Cushions have some wear and tear on edges. Overall could use a cleaning. Need to move it quickly (before it rains tonight; I had to move it into the front yard). U haul (bring a helper as I can't move it/it takes 2 people). Location: Stanton Heights. 5608 McCandless Ave, 4 houses down, off Stanton Ave. 412-417-6329 if questions.

[Highland Park] Car Seat Trade
by Kristen Tsapis 19 Apr '09

19 Apr '09

I am friends with a Somali refugee who will have her first baby in early May. I've received a donated, brand new (with tags and manual) Evenflo Horizon V, 5-point car seat for this family, HOWEVER, they would like an infant car seat that can be easily removed from the car and used as a carrier. The Evenflow Horizon V is for babies 5lbs to 40lbs, starting as a rear facing and converting to forward facing, but is designed to remain in the car. It's your basic navy blue. I am hoping someone out there has an infant car seat (used is fine IF it is in good condition) that they would like to trade for this car seat. Thanks, Kristen Tsapis

[Highland Park] Point Brugge rumors confirmed
by Valerie Cummings 18 Apr '09

18 Apr '09

Just wanted to let everyone know - We ate at Point Brugge in Regent Square last night, and overheard another patron ask the owner if he was opening a new location. Sure enough, he said they're opening another Point Brugge on Bryant St. in Highland Park, and they hope to be open this fall! He said the location is a former dry cleaners. It's great to see another fabulous dining option coming to the neighborhood!

[Highland Park] small landscaping jobs
by Denise 17 Apr '09

17 Apr '09

Hi folks,I am looking for someone to cut my grass in the summertime and occasionally come over to weed a hillside and some flower beds. Most landscaping companies feel that my job is too small. Is there anyone out there who is interested in this type of job or can you make recommendations? I do have dogs so it would need to be someone who is "pet-friendly". Thank you! -- Denise PetSitPgh, LLC www.petsitpgh.com 412-956-0787
