These items are all in Pittsburgh. I know two shippers who do occasional runs to Pittsburgh and may be able to bring them. They could also be combined with something else I am shipping later in May.

Pier Mirror From a Brownstone
I have a large mirror that looks like it came from a brownstone. There's a molding contour cut out of the back. I'd like to sell it. It's currently in my house in Pittsburgh. It's a little more than 8 feet high and 47." It has a marble shelf at the bottom. It's ebonized wood with great inlay. wide. 412-499-3482

There's a mover named Sven who advertises on craigslist. He did very well and didn't damage any of the antiques. very reasonable too. Tell him Eric sent you.

I like the idea of restoring the existing single-pane windows. I also understand the actual heat savings from single vs double pane windows, if the casings are insulated, is quite minimal and takes a long long time to recover the cost if your windows were being changed simply for energy-efficiency reasons. Double pane windows do insulate somewhat for sound, however. If you're simply worried about energy savings, better to concentrate on the attic and the highest-efficiency furnace possible. (plus turn the heat down and wear a sweater!)

I used Sven and my skin cleared up, my daughter married a millionaire, and I won the lotto. Sven all the way.

I am asking $2,000. I paid more than that and shipped it from Rochester, Ny to San Francisco then to Pittsburgh. It's better than most I have seen.
