A handyman who comes when you call - who sticks to his quotes, who does good work and is just an all around good guy. There's a tug of war going on between me and my uncle as to who gets to use him next - I've released him cause he just finished installing a new back door, powerwashed my house, cleaned my gutters, rebuilt and stained my decrepit deck so it looks brand new! steve is well intentioned and honest - hard to find these days!Thanks Steve for helping me with my summer projects

In the english language - fast cheap and good! That's exactly what you'll get when you make a visit to queen beauty salon in the International district on 5th and Main. Being of the Asian persuasion, I needed someone who could handle cutting Asian hair and all the cowlicks that go along with it. Plus I was going back to short from having a medium length do. So, with not a small amount of anxiety , I ventured over there last Sat based on a recommendation from Yelp. The one woman show was busy - she was cutting one woman's hair, another was under the dryer and I was waiting. I watched her dispatch a cut and color in under 40 minutes - rendering a perfect bob. $35 for a cut and color? - unheard of! I showed her a picture of what I wanted - the cut was basically done in about 30 minutes. $15.00 for a cut - tip her $5.00 and you are out the door for $20! - And the proof is in the pudding - today at work- the cut looks the same- even after a full day at work - no loose ends winging out, no little pieces sticking out -its perfect.
now mind you, its not a fancy salon so you won't be getting served a latte, wine or anything like that - and I didn't get a shampoo- but if all you are wanting is a good basic cut that holds its shape, this is the place for you. Don't forget to say hi to her doggie too......

Okay - so I am sitting on my couch dozing off and thinking, its time to go to bed when there's a loud hissing noise downstairs-oh no- - its the water heater! And faster than you can say, Noah - where's the ark, my basement is flooded with several inches of water. Stayed up late to clean up the mess - who did I call the next day - Brennan heating and air conditioning- one of Puget Sound Energy's recommended contractors. Got several quotes over the phone between 8 AM and noon -Installers out by 3 PM, water heater installed by 4 PM. Hot water by 5 PM. Now that's what I call service! I wasn't without hot water for even 24 hours - Plus I could not be around to pay the bill and they were cool with sending me a bill in the mail after the tank was installed.

song you'll be singing when you have Mr.Reing of Ringo's landscaping and Garden come out and do a general cleanup of your yard. My poor yard was badly in need of some serious mulching and weeding and after he spend half of a saturday morning on my front yard, the beds looked so tidy it didn't even look like the same yard! I am going to have him come back and do the side and the back. He's not cheap but in this case you DO get what you pay for. Wish I had found him before - last year i spent a bundle on landscaping and maintenance and I could have done a better job myself.
Thanks Mr. Reing!

fee of joining the home owner's club and use forums like these instead. I give it one star because when everything was said and done, home owner's finally came through and had quality plumbing come and fix a job that roto rooter had botched ( and home owner's had referred ME to them!) - BUT that was only after numerous phone calls to roto-rooter, home owner's, the better business bureau and the attorney general's office down in Olympia. I was not able to use my bathroom sink for approximately 4 months! And that was after multiple visits from various roto-rooter plumbers. Plus one of the plumbers from roto rooter hit my car, putting it in the shop for about 10 days ( see my other review about H and I automotive - LOVE them).
My favorite quote to homeowner's while I was going through this ordeal - "I don't need to pay you money to refer me to someone incompetent - I can just find them for free in the phone book......."

Tutta bella has the three things that I am looking for in a restaurant - its cheap, the food is good and the servers are friendly! My favorite thing is to split an order of the insalata di Napoli ( the small size, believe it or not- its huge!) and one of their thin crust pizzas with a friend- its the perfect meal. But don't get there late on a weekend - which would be after 6 PM, cause usually the place is packed with locals from the surrounding neighborhood.
Anthony Ferrara, the owner is a very friendly guy - he tells me plans are in the works for opening a tutta bella on the eastside so its just a matter of time, eastsiders, before you too can have a little slice of pizza heaven.....

The only good thing about being in an auto accident is having your car fixed at H and I. It will come out looking better than it went in - plus derek and the gang are great to work with -efficient, timely, professional - I can't say enough about them. i had to coordinate picking up my car with the drop-off at the rental and they were able to tell me when my car would be ready, almost to the hour. again- you really would prefer NOT to have your car at the body shop but if you need to, you should really call H and I........
