   For more about the ‘Faces in Old Towne’ — look for details in Sunday’s Progress Index, tomorrow’s (Friday’s) Richmond Times Dispatch, and April’s Richmond Magazine.

   I’ve already praised the owners of the building. The fast turnaround can be partially credited to the work of E.B. washington, who does good, solid work at a fair price. I have some experience with the guy, and, beleive me, it’s worth it to hire him and his crew over the “cheaper” random “labor” around here claiming.

   E.B. Washington: Fair and Hardworking.

   i have to praise E.B Washinton for his hard work at a fare price.
   i hired him to do work on my building and he did great.
   i even hired him for a second job.
   its great to see the old buildings look new again.
   been a long time.

   I agree about Mr. Washington. A real mensch.

   Glad to see you have a new truck.
