Huge shout out to Front Porch Forum. Over the years we have used it to: Borrow a neighbor’s ladder to reach higher up our cherry tree in exchange for some cherries Get a free dog crate to go pick up chickens and then pass on that free dog crate to a new home Know of bobcat or bear sightings in our neighborhood to close up the chicken coop Ross found a job Recommend and find great service providers (trash pick up, window washing, tree service, etc.) Get a heads-up on great upcoming community events This weekend David got a free bed for a previously homeless person setting up housing It is such a great community resource. Win/win/win.
