There really are awesome guys still out there
A piece of siding on the second floor of our house popped out during a storm a few weeks ago. We've been meaning to get a contractor over to pop it back in (I'm not fond of my husband going up that high on a ladder at his age).
A group of guys, migrants on work visas, are doing construction on a house in my neighborhood. They were on a break, due to rain, so my husband asked if they could take a look at the siding. They all came over and one of the guys went up on a ladder and repaired the siding. He was so reluctant to take my husband's money for his work. It took three times for my husband to convince him to take it and that we very much appreciated it and were grateful.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
