Several days ago, I had a texting exchange with a very smart woman who attends my church. She reached out to me the day before with a photo of water inside her garage and another showing a crack in the garage foundation wall near the water puddle. A rain shower had happened the day before, after weeks of no rain.

My wife and I are friends with this young woman. We go out to dinner every now and then. I’ve done some emergency repair work for her at her condominium. Understand that she is fearless and possesses a will stronger than titanium. I admire all of these qualities.They come in handy when you have to deal with contractors.
