Hi Neighbors! Free, first come first serve. We have a box of never-used metal Fisherman string lights. There are 8 lights on the string. We bought these not realizing they are BATTERY POWERED, so they don’t work for us. But if they work for you, please come grab them! They are on our side porch (by the fountain) at 827 N Highland Ave. Thanks! Tazio Sent from my iPhone

solar roof information
by Irina Livezeanu 13 Aug '22

13 Aug '22

I recently asked this group to help me with information on solar energy installs. A number of people asked me to share what I learn. So this is what I've found out. If you have a ceramic tile roof, chances are not good for solar, unless you want to replace the tile completely. Strangely the salespeople calling you from California or elsewhere never ask about that! But otherwise, there are people who can advise you and neighbors who have solar panels and are saving money on their electric bills. Here is a list of suggestions and resources: · Solar United Neighbors just launched a new co-op for Allegheny County. I signed up and encourage you to do so if you're considering getting solar panels. Signing up for the co-op does not lock you into any commitment, it just indicates you're interested and want to receive information! The non-profit organization essentially puts out a request for proposals to solar providers and helps co-op members negotiate contracts. It takes the guess-work out of finding someone to install panels and the economy-of-scale in the co-op often results in significant cost savings. I know trying to find contractors to do... literally anything has been a nightmare for me and I'm excited to have an established organization guide me through this process. You can sign up here: *https://coops.solarunitedneighbors.org/coops/allegheny-county-solar-and-ev-charger-co-op/ <https://coops.solarunitedneighbors.org/coops/allegheny-county-solar-and-ev-…>* · Will Brown started Solbridge Energy Advisors <http://solbridgeea.com/> to offer end-users (homeowners, business owners, etc.) a more consumer-friendly pathway to exploring and implementing solar. One of the things that prompted this business was the amount of disinformation and sales tactics in the solar industry. Will can be reached at willbrown412(a)gmail.com or 412-841-6285. I met with Will, who lives in HP, and he was super helpful · We went with Trinity Solar who goes through Sunnova. Our bill decreased exponentially. If you go with them, please use my husband’s name as a referral - Michael Nagy · We don’t have a solar roof (built into the roofing materials) but we have solar panels installed on our roof. We love it. Our bill previously was ~$100/mo. Now we just pay the customer charge with Duq Light, ~$13/mo. We paid up front for our panels and we used Ian Smith from EIS Solar. He was great. And I highly recommend them. Also, share we referred. A helpful website to check your house and solar potential is below. Plug your address in and check. https://sunroof.withgoogle.com · We bought our panels from EIS solar and have been happy with them. Bigger investment up from to buy them but better financially over the long run. I'm not going to be able to pursue this because of my tile roof, but good luck if you do! Irina

Small pull-out sofa: donation options?
by Laura Gordon 13 Aug '22

13 Aug '22

Hello, We have a small (60" long) lightweight sofa where the cushions pull out/unfold to make a "sleeper" sofa. The dimensions of the pull-out are 45" x 78". Given the tear in the arm rest as shown it's not a very desirable item. However I hesitate to just put it out on the curb. Since it's small, lightweight and has the pull-out option, it may still be useful to somebody. Has anyone in HP worked with any charities that might be able to use something like this, as well as pick it up? Thanks for any suggestions, Laura Grafton St
