The Varnodo's

At church on Sunday Alton and Minnie Varnodo
asked if we could help them. Their back door,
rotting and left over from the flooding and held
in place with 2 2x4’s, was on its last legs.


They had a new door,
but no contractor
was willing to come and
do such a simple job.
We went to their home, at 601 Betz Ave.,
took out and replaced the old door and frame.

Their furnace needed to be lit too,
but another contractor had miswired it.
We contacted a reputable contractor;
arranged for him to repair the wiring,
light the furnace,
and left $$ to pay for his work.
We heard stories like theirs over and again,
stories of slipshod, over-priced repairs,
and, although we didn’t think we were doing
all that much, our hard and quality work led
folks like the Varnodo’s to stand up in church
and give thanks for us after we left.
