From Our Readers

Rural Memories Missed

I enjoy Carolina Country very much. However, I am very disappointed that you have not included the “I Remember” section in recent issues. This is the best part of the magazine.

I hope that you will include this section again.

Editor’s note: Thank you for the feedback, Deana — you’re not alone! We’ve had several readers reach out about this, and trust that we love the I Remember section as much as you. It’s not going anywhere, although we include it in issues as space allows. Find it this month on page 26.

Unsafe DIYers

Check the photos for “Home Improvement Wins” (February 2023, page 2): all three photos demonstrate unsafe work practices: one foot on a step ladder and weight not equally distributed; using a drill without safety glasses; and using a saw without safety glasses. You only get one pair of eyes that are supposed to last for a lifetime!

Robert Cooling, Flat Rock, a member of Union Power Cooperative

Editor’s note: Thank you, Robert. That was certainly an oversight on our part. Electric cooperatives are focused on safety both on the job and for their members at home (“Home Improvement, the Safe Way,” May 2021, page 6). There is still time to enter a “DIY Win” submission for our May issue — you can find details on page 29.
