Calling all tradespeople....

I was asked today by a friend about referring a mason. Unfortunately, I do not know any masons. I figure that it's probably a good idea to start to get to know some tradespeople. In fact, if you know someone or you are one and I don't realize it, I'd be happy to post things on my blog with respect to some of the work that you've done or had done to a home.

I know a newly licenced plumber, my cousin Jason. Jason has been working now for a few years in the plumbing business and, this past weekend, we had a party to celebrate his passing of his plumbing exam. Jason is now sub-contracting to his former employer, and will likely accept other jobs that come available if you need a licenced plumber.

Jason was able to help me with an issue at the time of the purchase of my Arlington home. During closing, the seller had tried to slip some information in the agreement about the water and sewer. As my home was built in 1905, this was standard practice back then, but now the standards have changed. Jason was able to advise to me that the water and sewer really do not pose much of an issue, but simply that the standards are simply different for semi-detached homes.
