Help me LJ hive mind, you're my only hope!

I know at least a few of you mentioned that you knew someone that we should check out for our new roof & siding.
I also know I told you that there was no way I would remember.
So here's the post. If you have someone to recommend for our home repairs, please leave their info in the comments.
Also, if you would, could you please say whether they've actually done work on your house or not. We won't be making any decisions on who we hire until we've gotten some estimates.
Also, depending on what kind of estimates we get we might have one company do the siding and a different one do the roof/gutters.
Thank you!!!

Holy crap! Everyone's going to the zoo!

From the Minnesota Zoo website

"The Minnesota Zoo had its best year since 1999, with fiscal year attendance (July 1, 2007–June 30, 2008) totaling 1,162,163."

"The Zoo’s strong attendance gains began last summer with the opening of the renovated Medtronic Minnesota Trail, which immediately became a fan favorite. Guests have also found the 20-month construction project of Russia’s Grizzly Coast well worth the wait. The opening of this $24 million exhibit on June 7 contributed to a blockbuster month, with attendance of 221,414, second only to June 1978 – the first full month the Zoo was open 30 years ago."

I'm just thrilled with all the new exhibits and renovations that Lee Ehmke has been pushing for since coming here. The MN Zoo has always been a great zoo and he is really making sure it goes past great to exceptional!
