There’s Angie’s List. Which is great and wonderful and the list I’ve turned to when I’ve needed a mechanic, a plasterer or a chimney repairman. And then there’s this other list I sometimes use — the “I Gotta Guy List.” Friends or neighbors supply this list, usually by saying, “I gotta a guy who…” or “I know a guy who…” This list is very short, but the repairmen on it have been fantastic. Often I get to see their work in person before I hire them. I always compare lists to see if the repairman is on both. If not, I offer to add him (or her) to Angie’s List.
So I confess. Tonight, I’m meeting a plumber at my house who’s on my “I Gotta Guy List” but not Angie’s List. I hope that’s not grounds for dismissal?! (I promise to submit a report on their service!)
