Hello Stuart neighbors,

My request for help is for some recommendation(s) for getting quotes for installing a septic system for our cabin.
Has anyone had a good experience recently with any company they would recommend?

Thank you,
Gayle & Norm Davis

Here is a note from Kipp Carroll –

I have a Humpback trip scheduled for March 19.  I would like to post on the website an offer to share it.  
We will leave Roche about 0830-0845 on Wednesday March 19 with a van onboard, drop the van at Stuart, and have a 15-20 minute turnaround back to Roche with the barge empty.  If someone would like to share the barge in one or both directions, that would be great. 
Anyone interested can contact me at wkcarroll55@gmail.com, phone 425-315-6828.
I hope you have had a good winter.  We are ready for Spring.
Thank you,
Kipp Carroll
