The beehive has been removed from my pool equipment and for whatever reason my Jacuzzi is empty.  I fired the "discount pool guy" and will be hiring someone new.

Who do you hire when you need a tradesperson?  Where do you look for recommendations?  I have compiled a list (Harbs List) of service providers that either work in my home or have been referred to me by clients and friends (no charge to the consumer or vendor).  And then there is AngiesList,  which I am a member (charges the consumer for membership).  Another friend and client just referred me to Penny Spark,     
Her service is also free to consumers (vendors pay a referral).
