by Gregory Allen 01 Sep '05

01 Sep '05

I am looking for a contractor or handyman who can put up a ceiling and drywall a room in my house. I started this project, but it is beyond my abilities. I am looking for someone reasonable and dependable and who could come on short notice. If you have any recommendations please let me know. I did contact a few people on our Tradepersons list, but most are not available for sometime. Thanks. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

I've used a gentleman by the name of Tom Lafferty. He is a master plasterer, and has done a lot of work in Highland Park. I will give you a word of warning, however - he is quite verbose, particularly when he does a walk-through for your quote. His cell phone number is (412) 417-7283.

[Highland Park] HP House Tour - Length and Volunteers
by amers＠att.net 31 Aug '05

31 Aug '05

Hello everyone, There have been a number of comments from neighbors about the length of the house tour and the length of the volunteer shifts. I'm writing to clarify the decisions that the committee made, so that no one thinks that we arbitrarily lengthened the tour. We want the volunteer experience to be enjoyable for everyone! In 2001 and 2003, the house tour was held from 11am to 5pm and approximately 45 volunteers were needed to cover the entire day. (There were 11-12 houses on the tour) This year, we knew when we began planning that we would need to make additional accomodations to have the King Estate on the tour. We are thrilled to be able to have such a gorgeous house and meticulous restoration work available to showcase to the rest of the city. And we want our homeowners, volunteers and visitors to have the best experience possible. We extended the tour by two hours in the hope that the additional time would spread out the crowds and make the tour more enjoyable for our visitors. We wanted to avoid a throng of people waiting outside of the King Estate if possible. And we chose to hold the tour on a Saturday this year, so everyone will have Sunday to "recover" from the longer tour. Visitors will be led in small groups through the King Estate, and we will have two volunteers per room (each shift) and several more outside. The rest of the houses on the tour will have 2-4 volunteers per house (each shift) and we will have a couple of people at St. Andrews for ticket collection, etc. All of this means that we need 45 volunteers *per shift* this year - twice as many as in past years. And several people have asked if we could have three 2.5-hour volunteer shifts, instead of the two 4-hour long volunteer shifts. We are not opposed to this idea, but it would require that we get three times the number of volunteers than were gathered in years past. Currently, there are about 60 volunteers on our list, so we are still 30 people short of what we need to cover two shifts. If everyone who has already signed up could sign up a friend (or two), we could have volunteer shifts that are only 2 1/2 hours long. Quite honestly, the house tour committee has a lot left to do to get ready for the tour, and we don't have the manpower to recruit 75 more volunteers in the next month. We still need to train the volunteers who will be at the King Estate, so there are some positions which can't be filled at the last minute. The committee would like to thank everyone who has volunteered so far, all of the local businesses who are advertising in the program and everyone in the neighborhood who has been supportive of the House Tour (especially those in the community club). We are looking forward to a great neighborhood event on October 1st! Anyone who still wishes to volunteer can email their name and phone number to housetour(a)highlandparkpa.com. Thank you, Amy Maceyko, Brigette Nadler, Peter Hughes Highland Park House Tour Committee Chairs

I have a full bed (mattress, box spring and frame) to give away if anyone is interested. It has been around for a while (i.e. old). I figured I'd ask if anyone needs/wants it before it goes out with the trash. Thanks, Kevin

[Highland Park] Tenor still needed
by Sherry Goldman 30 Aug '05

30 Aug '05

It's getting to be that time again. We're still in search of the elusive tenor! Why are they so hard tofind? How about even a baritone willing to push your limits? We're scheduled to sing downtown again, Saturday December 17 from 1-3 pm under the Kaufmann's Clock for the Pittsburgh Downtown Partnership, and we'll have so much better sound if we can find someone to sing tenor. We sing for joy and friendship, not money. We can offer you free vocal coaching and/or free training in sight-singing. Check out our website: www.angelfire.com/music4/friendharmony Call Kathy 412-683-4815 or Sherry 412-215-9631

[Highland Park] Looking for a Sitter
by marylinn maione 30 Aug '05

30 Aug '05

Hi Neighbors! I am the mom of a 6 year old girl and 4 year old boy who both go to Dilworth Academy. I am looking for someone in the neighborhood (or nearby neighborhoods) to take care of them after school, from @ 3pm to 6:15pm, 3 to 5 days. My parents are willing to take them a couple of days so there is some flexiblility as to which days the sitter works. I would prefer that the person has a vehicle (for picking up in inclement weather) but we live right around the corner from the school on Jackson St., so we're not that far. I don't mind if the kids go to the sitter's house or our house, again, I'm flexible. This is the perfect job for a college or high school student, or a stay-at home-parent looking for a little mad money. I am looking for someone who is patient and loving, and happy around children. Please pass this on to anyone you know who is not on the mailing list that might be able to help. My son starts school on Sept. 12th, so I need to find someone fairly quickly. Please respond to my e-mail: mmaione24(a)hotmail.com or call: 412-441-1857 Thank you. Marylinn Maione
