Because so many of you ask me for recommendations for misc. services I put together a list which you can find at www.ZastrowsList.com .  Recently I came across this list-www.angieslist.com/AngiesList/ that covers much more than just local vendors.  The contractors on this list do NOT pay to be on the list and there is even a place where you can go and complain if you run into a problem.  You do however have to pay a $40 a year fee but for some of you that may be money well spent.  If you have anyone you would like to recommend or have me add to www.ZastrowsList.com please feel free to let me know.   

Hard work spotlights the character of people: some turn up their sleeves, some turn up their noses, and some don't turn up at all!
