Our 1920's cinder block detached garage is of the classic Somerville style. It's pretty sound, but needs repair of rotted wood frame around the garage door and some cracked masonry/facade issues. Seems too small for major contractors, but might be more than a handyman usually does. Since there are so many of these garages around Somerville, and many have been fixed up, I'm hoping some of you can recommend the folks who do this work. Hoping to fix this spring. Thank you!

Hello crafty folks,

I have a fantastic lamp in the shape of an elephant. My kids love it, but the electrical guts are from the 1950s and the cord is neither grounded nor safe. Any ideas on where to get it re-wired nearby? Calls to electricians have been unsuccessful (job too small, weird, etc.), but I'd welcome any suggestions.

Many thanks!
