You Load ~ Dave O'Hara

After a short retirement, one week, I am back in business.  I have purchased a 14' dump trailer, and can take you all your soil and gravel needs. Plus I can haul all your junk and rubbish away.  

Sandpiper found it difficult to travel to the Island so I am happy to return.  I missed talking to everyone on the ferry.
