19th ward Tool Shed
A community Tool Shed for residents of the 19th ward to borrow, link together and exchange tools, knowledge and work partners to complete jobs in our neighborhoods.
The Breakfast Club:
I used to live in a small town down state where we had a 'Breakfast Club'. On either a Saturday or Sunday morning a group of 4 to 6 guys would meet for breakfast (sometimes at the persons home, wives that cook were great!) and the person who's home was getting worked on that day would buy breakfast. Then we would proceed to insulate, hang drywall, cabinets, countertops, windows, paint, etc. We'd work till 1 or 2pm and usually complete the project in a day. Some guys were just laborers, some were retired plumbers, some did landscaping all day for work, electricians, tile guys... but we came together and got each home done for the cost of breakfast. The next week it was another guys house.
If you are interested in starting/joining a club in the 19th ward, please email me here or at redcedarme@yahoo.com Please put Breakfast Club in the subject line.

I need to repair some of the wood shingles on the front of my house on Westfield St. It's mostly where water has splashed up from the porch roof and really taken a toll on the wood shingles. Where can I buy some new shingles?
