Hi Everyone,

I am still in the process of getting the hang of this homeowner thing.
I am looking for some recommendations for reliable people to do different
types of work around the house.  I would expect that these people
would be insured, so that if they, say, fell through my ceiling and broke
their leg, they a) would pay their own hospital bills, and b) would fix
the hole they created.  (Is this a reasonable expectation?)  Proximity
to Woburn is a plus.

Specifically I am looking for:

 - Electricians

 - Plumbers

 - Someone to do some light carpentry.

 - Painters (external).

 - Exterminators (termite and carpenter ant, although I may find
   use for rodent experience).

 - Chimney sweeps (ought to be able to do some light masonry and
   install chimney caps).  I have some questions related to this.
   How do I determine if I need a chimney cap?  Why do the prices
   on them vary so greatly?

 - Landscapers (mainly for tree pruning and/or removal).

 - Locksmiths.

If there is sufficient interest, I will summarize for the net.  Is
there a more appropriate newsgroup or mailing list in which to post
this request?  I know that DEC has an internal notes file that covers
such topics, but I am not aware of anything for the general USENET
community.

						Thanks,
						Doug
