    Hey, I can install drywall! I also shingle, lay tile and carpeting, pour cement, and do plumbing. No electric work though. I will fly over and we can talk books while we swing hammers (-:)

    Hi Karen! I am clearly out of the loop on the Cybils--thanks for posting this. I've read several of these, and particularly loved Fourmile!
