Next earlier Carol Perkins article: Karaoke at Sherrys, Hiseville, KY

By Carol Perkins

My brother, who lives in Oldham County, has been trying to make improvements in his home so he can sell it and move to San Diego where his adult children live. He has hired day laborers to lay floors, paint walls, and tear down fences. After they finished their work, he tried to find someone to clean up the house from top to bottom.
