I have a couple of pairs of jeans that I need to have hemmed. I feel like denim may be a tricky material. Has anyone had good denim hemming done at a local tailor?

We plan to add a wood burning fireplace to our home. I’ve spoken to the zoning department and we’d have to get a variance for the chimney as our house is already too close to the side property line. So I’d need to have an architect involved in this project. Does anyone have a recommendation for a good architect who helped to successfully get a variance from the village?

Hi, we are looking into having our stucco exterior repaired and painted. I have three proposals, two are pretty similar (though one of them is a painting company that does stucco but isn’t stucco specific, so repairs would be seperate), and the third is more than double that cost. I know people have had good (non stucco) experience with Jiri of Northshore Restoration but has anyone used Olguin Stucco or Chicago Stucco? I’ve seen their vans parked in the area but I’m not sure if those people are on here.

Ok I am replacing our Ring doorbell (installed by sellers, we purchased this home about two months ago) with another system. I noticed that the one they had didn’t seem to be connected to the mechanical chime. I just removed the video doorbell and I see the two holes where it seems a doorbell used to be. I’m not sure if the wires could be tucked in the holes or if they were removed. Any thoughts on what they might have done or how to retrieve the wires if they are tucked back?

This is frustrating because I don’t want to rely on my phone for the doorbell. I want to actually hear it inside the house.
