    I need my garage tuck pointed badly and some brick work done.

    Does anybody know of a good mason or is anybody here a Mason in the Lansing, Flint, St Johns areas?

    Those guys that tuck point have more patience than I can even imagine...and they are a dying breed. Good luck in your search.

    Ask around and maybe just maybe you'll find one that is semi-retired.

    Craigslist of local papers "wanted to hire" ad?

    I have pretty much signed off of craigslist. I seem to always get the crooks, jerks and idiots off there. Just doesnt end well...

    I like the local Add idea! It makes me wonder if the local grocery store still does flyers I havnt looked in years.
