About Insideout Handyman

The brick bungalows of the University District have stood through a hundred Missoula winters, and Insideout Handyman spends its share of them clearing the narrow driveways and front walks that come with houses built before anyone owned two cars. Snow gets plowed off short driveways that back onto alleys, walks get shoveled down to the brick or concrete underneath, and the front steps — steep and often shaded — get salted so they hold a boot instead of sliding it. Students on their way to early classes and longtime neighbors headed to work use the same cleared paths. In a part of town built one car at a time, the sidewalks end up mattering as much as the driveways do.
