Hello all, I had been having a heck of a time getting my gutters and eaves of my roof functioning properly due to settling of my home all most 5 inch drop on one side of my home, making it almost impossible to get a gutter to drain properly I had asked in many different forums through out the net getting different opinions some good some ridiculous, then I accidentally found this guy at www.onlinehousedoctor.com I sent him some pics and bout 2 hours later I got a response in great detail even got his instant messenger info and talked directly to him that evening. He even noticed a skylight I never mentioned before being flashed improperly, I had someone bout 4 months ago redo the whole thing for like 600$ and the ****ed thing still leaked, and
I haven't been able to find the guy ever since :-(.
Anyway just thought I would let people know about a fella out there that seems trustworthy and might be able to help some of you with some problems around the house. I was thinking of donating to him but not sure abouot online donating for something like this is it normally safe?

Thanks

The PayPal process is very well established and secure, including the donation transaction which this guy uses. My wife uses an account tied directly to our checking, but I prefer to use a credit card because of the dispute process and other online protections.

I like the concept of supporting people who do good work and put time and thought into their responses, especially on the internet because there is so free crapola out there that is worth every penny you pay for it, but not worth the time spent searching for or reading it.

Good thank you I will probably sign up on paypal and give the guy a few bucks, he sure saved me a lot of time, if I had followed a few of the previous answers I had got, not sure what would have happened, but I think I might of ended way worse than when I had began.

The only security issue I've seen really doesn't have anything to do with PayPal, but is a 3rd party phishing type email that supposedly notifies you that your account has been hacked or locked out. They want you to log on to their fake website and give them your login info. There are similar emails for eBay and for every bank you ever heard of. It's a good idea to never click a link inside an email but to go directly to the wesite.

I make it a habit to forward these emails when I get them to spoof@paypal.com, spoof@ebay.com, or to the bank's specific security mailbox. Most of them have one dedicated to bogus emails and websites and are diligent about shutting down these scammers.
