Contractor Holmes finds snowmen while working in Boston-area basement
WEST NEWTON, Mass. — Poking around in dark, dank basements is the business of every plumbing-heating contractor. And when you’ve been exploring Boston-area basements for three generations like the folks at R.P. Holmes Corp., who knows what you’ll turn up?
“During nearly 70 years of business, you hear some weird tales and experience some strange encounters,” says Susanne Holmes, who manages the family-run heating business and is herself a licensed master plumber.
