Watch
out for a person in Aurora by the name

for one neighbour, he trespassed on the
adjoining neighbours property and
without knowledge or consent he erected
rough, crooked posts on spikes and
attached the old fence to them. leaving
an ugly mess on the unsuspecting
neighbours property. Then, when asked to
simply move his mess to the side that he
was hired to do in the first place, he
became rude and abusive and wanted to be
paid his excessive fee a second time.
Watch Out! and be wary of hiring this man! |

Does your
home have Aluminum Wiring
Acquiring insurance on homes with aluminium
wiring may require a specific certificate
stating that the Aluminium wiring has been
inspected by a qualified
electrical inspector. This certificate may
have to be ordered and paid for by the owner
(seller) of the home. This eventually
may be a requirement on renewal of home
owner’s policies as well.
