Neighbors

Do you need a handy man who can hang that heavy mirror over the sofa in your living room?

Did a cute kitty wander up to your front door without a collar?

Did you just buy a new home with a pond and you’re wondering how to maintain it?

Did you spot a bobcat or mountain lion in your yard?

Is your sprinkler system on the fritz?

Every so often we need to exchange information with our neighbors because they “get it” — they live here too.

Although it seems like a nifty idea, you can’t really roam the neighborhood with a megaphone shouting, “I need a reliable plumber!” or “I just saw a snake! Who can tell me that quote about ‘red touch yellow, kill a fellow?!?'”

This is when social media networks and Facebook groups for neighborhoods come in handy.

Do you have a garage filled with sporting equipment, ladders, tools, and all kinds of other items you’ve collected over the years? Or maybe you’re thinking about purchasing a kayak but would like to try one out before you buy.

What if there was a service that would bring Lake Travis area neighbors together to lend and borrow all the things that get stored up in our garages and sheds?

The platform allowing this to happen was thought up and created by two Steiner Ranch residents. It’s called ShedStreet and after launching just over a year ago, Lake Travis area residents have filled the site with a variety of items. You’ll find everything from extension ladders and kayaks to a crawfish boil pot and outdoor movie screen.

While browsing the site, I also came across a couple of other items that caught my attention. There was a wiener-beagle mix named Steve and a French accent for rent. You can borrow either one for $5 a day.
