{"Image ImageDescription": "Beware of the \u201cwoodchuck.\u201d This home improvement huckster usually starts with an offer to trim trees. Soon the woodchuck points out additional problems, returning day after day to take care of never-ending (and often needless) repairs. These fly-by-day fraudsters sometimes request payment in advance to buy materials for such jobs as roof repair or driveway sealing\u2014but then, with your cash in hand, never return. Remember: Most reputable contractors are too busy to seek business by knocking on your door.", "Image Software": "Capture One 6 Macintosh", "Image Artist": "ilkay Muratoglu", "Image Copyright": "ilkay Muratoglu"}
