Who can recommend a good housepainter for here in Greenwich, now that the Fountain Boyz have retired?
/A friend has asked, and the one I worked for in high school is long gone, but having learned the skill, I could rarely bring myself to pay someone to do work I could do as well, probably better, myself. I once did employ a team from somewhere near the foot of the Whitestone Bridge — probably all illegals back then, but cheap —and they did an adequate job on the exterior, and spared me the indignity of falling off a 30’ ladder, but I don’t know where they are after all these years; probably all the proud grandparents of freshly-minted American citizens who have better things to do or can make more on welfare.
So, readers, suggestions? I’ll point out that if a painting or building contractor wanted to run a $49 ad on this site, he’d certainly enjoy multifold returns in new business - Just sayin’. (Or if you’re not in the trades, you can always just hit the new improved red-button donation spot on the right)
