Reply to Removing the abandoned boat sinking in Allegheny River is no easy task - CBS Pittsburgh by oldschoolskater
So what I'm hearing here is that if I have a bunch of garbage or an old shitty boat I need to get rid of, I can just leave it in the water near the stadiums and that's the end of it?
I'm kidding obviously, but that is the message that these government agencies are putting out there.

Reply to Perryopolis auto auction by Dramatic-Ad1423
Worked for Manheim and Adesa for years. If you want to visit you can setup a viewing! I'd suggest not buying a vehicle through an auction unless you're extremely familiar with price flooring and vehicle repairs. Better to buy off mom and pop cash spots.

Rainy days are the best days to tour. You know if you’re going to have water or not

You may very well be correct. We are both just guessing based on the pic which as you mentioned, isn’t much to go on.

Lmao I'm in Bloomfield with mud floors that hold like 5 inches of water with a good rain. Also with old uncut logs as jackpost.

And given the market has started to transition back to a buyer's market, you might have a shot at getting a few of these things. But french drains can be pricey. And my parents have had so much trouble with their sump pump and the resulting flooding...hearing "sump pump" immediately gives me nightmares

I would've expected the Fish & Boat Commission (since they handle licensing) and the Coast Guard to handle this. Unbelievable.

And if the basement looks suspiciously pristine and fresh, start snooping. Even a “good” basement in a well-maintained home should have a little grime here and there.

This has been mild compared to everyone I’ve ever lived in here. Sump pumps are your friend; and everything goes up on pallets or cinder blocks.
I rented a house in mt Washington that basically had an active river through the wall of the basement lol.

Reply to comment by burritoace in Want to extend a deck. Any idea about cost if anyone has done it recently? by cjoshi112385
I should have said some people. But a month for a two person crew? Maybe if they let the concrete dry for 3 weeks. $25k for a five star contractor and high end materials is probably market rate. My point though was market rate is inflated at the moment and might come down if interest rates continue to go up and the labor shortage fizzles. Cost of lumber is down 50% year over year. I don’t know what composite prices are doing though

Reply to I recently traveled to Minneapolis and they had a store called axeman surplus store. they had tons of electronics stuff and building type items. does anyone know if there is a similar store in Pittsburgh? by doransignal
Wow, that is a bizarre store! No, I know of nowhere like it around here. The closest I can think of is Trader Horn, which is now gone, but it wasn't nearly this eccentric.
For those of you talking about Construction Junction or Microcenter, look up Axe-man Surplus on google maps and look at the pictures of the inside. Yes, there's little drawers full of nuts and bolts, but there's also an iron lung, old oscilloscopes, backpacks, candles, an old TV camera, cowboy hats...

'KDKA investigator Andy Sheehan found out, getting it removed is no easy matter. All government agencies contacted by KDKA-TV said it's not their responsibility."
Seriously? What's so difficult about the city or state towing it out and charging the owner all the costs.
