Dara Knot has been very lucky through Hurricane Helene. We are wanting to help with clean up for others!
We are looking to help people move 10’ to 16’ logs that are 2’6” or more in diameter. Those real big logs that you are not sure how to move, those are the ones we want to help you remove! No charge and we can move them this week for you!
If we can help please DM Babette Lenna
Everyone please stay safe!
