Comments: Located in Chesterfield, Va but comes to Westmoreland Cty fairly frequently. I
called on Friday, and the fellow - the owner, no less - was here today. He was a nice young man,
retired Marine (although he didn't look old enough), and while he gave me bad news about the

He had to dig down 3 feet, pump water out, cut through major tree roots, remove 30-year-old broken pipes and yard hydrant, reroute and replace pipes, install new shut off valves and install a new in-ground water hydrant. Not only was his work timely, but very professional and reasonably priced. He also cleaned up after the job and had great suggestions and advice about various plumbing and electrical matters.

Sliding Glass Doors
Name: Mike Zacchini, Allison’s Hardware
Address: 3010 Northumberland Hwy, Lottsburg, VA 22511
Phone: (804) 529-7578
Comments: For years our sliding glass door became more difficult to open-close almost to
immobility. The glass companies and contractors we called were mystified by the overwhelming
volume of slider running wheels available. Finally, we lucked into speaking with Mike Zacchini
in the service department of Allison's Ace Hardware in Lottsburg, who owned a window-door
business in No. VA before "retiring" in the NN. He correctly identified, acquired and installed
new roller wheels for our door efficiently and economically.

Solar Panels Name: Scott Johnson, Advanced Solar, Lexington, MD
Phone: (240) 416-4030
Email: [email protected]
Comments: My Wife and I have had a 10KW grid-tied solar system for about 4 years now, and it pays for itself (depending on the month) by providing most, if not all of the electricity usage from Northern Neck Electric. We added battery-tied backup about 2 years ago, which works like a large-scale UPS system so when the power goes out, it automatically switches to batteries. It’s instantaneous and a lot of times I don’t even know the power is out. (These are now called “hybrid systems, which are more expensive). Generally, I have been very happy with it. The installer we chose was Scott Johnson at Advanced Solar in Lexington Park. His cell phone # is 240-416-4030 and email is [email protected]. If he (or anyone else comes out for an estimate), you’ll need to provide the bills from Northern Neck Electric so that they can properly size a system for you. Scott is an honest person and will answer phone calls and emails when you contact him. Generally speaking, a system between 7.5 – 10KW is required in this area to provide any decrease in energy bills. Prices have gone down over the past few years due to technology improvements, but expect to pay about $20K. Payoff is about 10 years depending on the amount of energy you consume. If you plan on selling your house, there are comps that can be factored in by the real estate agent that add value to the selling price of your home.
It’s important to know that there is currently a federal tax credit of 30% that expires at the end of 2019. It gets reduced by 4% each year, then goes away entirely at the beginning of 2022.
Tax Credit:
• 22% for systems placed in service after 12/31/2020 and before 01/01/2022
Expires: December 31, 2021
Another thing to keep in mind is: VA 56-594 Net Metering
Which states that any residential eligible customer-generator or eligible agricultural customer-generator who owns and operates, or contracts with other persons to own, operate, or both, an electrical generating facility with a capacity that exceeds 10 kilowatts shall pay to its supplier, in addition to any other charges authorized by law, a monthly standby charge. As a result, you shouldn’t consider any system over 10KW.
As a retired electrical engineer, I can help answer any questions that you have, and all of my answers will be totally unbiased. Contact info for me is Ed Kirkley, 804-445-6833, [email protected].

Phone: (540) 226-5914
Comments: 1) Insured; 2) Last week, we hired Joe Winegardner and his company, "Joe's Limbin
N' Trimmin", to clear my shoreline of small trees and scrubs. He did an excellent job of cutting
the trees and shrubs, stacking the trees and clippings where instructed, and cleaning up the yard
of any stray limbs. When finished, he used a blower to tidy up the yard of any leaves left
behind. Joe did a wonderful job, he was prompt to respond, courteous in his communication, and
very reasonable with his rate. I would highly recommend Joe for any "Tree Work, Landscaping,

TV Antennas & Installation:
Name: Brad Shuff (TV antennas, installation & related services) NOTE: Also “handyman”
services
Phone: (804) 456-7431
Email: [email protected]
Comments: “If you're looking for a strong signal, your only choice is to install an outdoor roof-
mounted antenna. I installed one recently, and get about 33 channels pointed N-NE. You'll get
DC, Baltimore, and the Tidewater area. If you have a rotor and point it West, you'll get
Richmond. I used a model HD8200XL antenna from www.xtremeSignal.com, which is rated at
70 miles. There are larger and more expensive (better) antennas up to 150 miles from
www.channelmaster.com. I chose the components, and worked with Brad Shuff to get it
installed. Total cost of parts depends on how much you want to spend, but I spent about $350
17
(not including installation). If you're paying $100/month for cable or satellite, the switch to over
the air signals will pay for itself in a few months. Most all of the over the air channels are in HD
with a beautiful picture. There's also DVRs and program guides that are available if you're
interested. Contact me with any questions.

Animal Rescue/Wildlife Management (Rabies):
Type of service: Animal Rescue - Wildbunch Wildlife Rescue, Warsaw, VA Name: Diana
O'Connor
Phone: 804-450-6331
Comments: Rabies is endemic to Virginia and is transmissible only between mammals. Although
a very serious disease, it is important to note that modern-day treatment allows for up to 2-weeks
after exposure to seek medical treatment that is 99.99% effective in preventing onset of the
disease. Since 1995, there have been 43 human fatalities from rabies nationwide, almost all of
which were associated with bat exposure. Only one case involved a fox and one case involved a
raccoon. However, it is very important that any exposure of humans or pets to a potentially rabid
animal should be immediately reported to the Virginia Department of Health. For more
information please see the CDC’s Rabies website and the Virginia Department of Health’s
Rabies website.

Phone: (804) 472-2755
Address: 5005 Coople Hwy, Montross
Comments: Don’t just assume because Murphy’s is local and small that it can’t beat the giant.
I had ordered 2 Personal Watercraft fire extinguishers through Amazon but one arrived damaged.
In casually asking Rebecca’s recently if she had a marine fire extinguisher she beat
them on both Price and Time to get. Price $20 plus tax versus Amazon lowest at time of $28.57
(shipping was free). Third area is the time I had to spend convincing the Amazon supplier that
the
item wasn't safe to return.
She was able to order from a supplier get the next morning.
Lesson learned: If you are looking for various types of marine supplies ask Rebecca. She has
catalog you can look at. She gets the next day (I don’t know the cutoff time.) Marine supplies
are likely not the only area where Rebecca can deliver. . .just ask

Boat Service/Repair:
Name: Danny Reid
Phone: (804) 758-5450 or (804) 240-2145
Comments: Over the past 10 years, we've been through at least that many thousands of dollars
and several mechanics trying to get our old boat in good running condition. No one could figure
out the problem, and we had about given up, and then DANNY REID was recommended to us.
He is in Remlik, Va. (near Urbana) and is exactly an hour from our place in Cabin Point. I
cannot begin to explain the knowledge that this man has about boats. He QUICKLY found the
problem with our boat, took the initiative to change a few other things that had been done
incorrectly, and didn't charge us an arm and a leg. If you need a mechanic, he's worth the hour's
drive.
Name: “No name given”
Phone: 804-453-7541
Comments: We just had our boat repaired by them in a week. Everyone we called said 6 weeks
out. We were very impressed with them. They are in Burgess.

Comments: He did a boat lift for us, but is full service docks, stairs, built or repaired. He was
very responsive at the time, but I know he was finishing a job in Glebe and could get to me fast
vs. having a job across the river or bay and being on the opposite side with equipment. He was
also very much less expensive on the lift than competition for the same motor, better
gears. Another neighbor contacted him and is using him for lift work.
