HelloMy mom is a retired Floridian/law enforcement officer who is now getting bit by the Fl home insurance bug...high rates.

Hi Nicholas,Philly is chalk for of crime and I have been to Allentown/Bethlehem Leigh high valley areas a number of times.

I was wondering if you ever finished the elevator project and how you made out on final cost. 

Highly suggest attending local meet ups and picking everyone's brain at those events.

Also any experience, advice is highly appreciated!!
