Handy person/contractor
by Kimberly Latta 12 Jul '23

12 Jul '23

Hello, Neighbors, I recently queried the list for names of reliable contractors or handy persons to fix a drywall. A few of you asked me to share names I received. Unfortunately, no one recommended anyone, and some suggested a few people to stay away from. Kimberly Latta, PhD Highland Park, Pittsburgh Ordinary people with extraordinary vision can redeem the soul of America by getting in what I call good trouble, necessary trouble.--*John Lewis*, 2020. Every year strips us of at least one vain expectation and teaches us to reckon some solid good in its stead. I never will believe that our youngest days are our happiest. - *George Eliot (Mary Ann Evans)*

We are no longer using these but hate to throw them out. They are sealed in their original boxes and don’t expire for a year. Perhaps someone can use them. Nancy 🚴🏼‍♀️

Thanks, Laura
