What your neighbors are talking about on social media

• Is a plumber required for water softener install?
  If so, anyone know one, or what approximate cost would be. Thanks! (Nextdoor Stonemill Farms)
• Maybe it's just me but it seems like a lot of people, not all, that ask for help and get questioned about it become very rude and aggressive.
  That doesn't make me want to help them. You should be able to handle questions unless you're not being honorable about your request. One other thing,… (Nextdoor Lake Rd and Woodlane Dr)
