Hi All,

If anyone is looking for a great house / cottage cleaning person, we have one recently returned to the area who I can highly recommend.   She has done cleaning for a number of people on the lake and I know everyone was universally pleased.

Her name is Becky Clingan and her phone number is (231) 585-6134.   She charges between $12 – $15 per hour, depending on the scope of the work you’d like done.    She is thorough, dependable and trustworthy.     It is difficult to find someone near our area and Becky is the best we’ve found yet!   If you call her, leave a message – she’s very quick about returning calls.

Any questions, feel free to call me at 544-5006.

Regards,

Robin Wottowa

My name is Marsha Keeton and my husband and I own a lot on Six Mile Lake Road next to John and Ruthann Hebden. We are in the process of putting a house on the lot but have run into some problems with the septic permit. I was wondering if anyone else on the lake has had any problems getting a permit?

Does anyone on the lake have any suggestions or names we can contact in order to get our permit? Our builder is working on it but I thought I would contact you for help.

We purchased the lot with the intent of putting a house on it and now we are very upset because the guy at the Health Department would not grant a permit due to a little stream of water flowing between our property and our neighbors property.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you,
Marsha & Randy Keeton

I wanted to let everyone know that if you should want your house sprayed for carpenter ants , spiders, etc, please contact Blossom Pest Control of Boyne City 1-800-582-0020. They are offering the best rates anywhere. We have used Hogarths Pest Control for several years and they raised their rates this year from $200 to $300 (per house) and five of us neighbors go together to save costs so they only have to make one trip. Questioning the huge rate increase didn’t seem to matter to Hogarths…they didn’t even bother to return our call (as of this posting). Blossom is doing the same work for $150 per house. The owner, Diana, told me they are working hard to try to keep their rates down so I encourage you to give Blossom Pest Control a call.

For excellent, fast, and CHEAP washer/dryer repairs there isn’t a better
repairman to call than Martin from Martin’s Washer & Dryer Service at
231-536-7851.  He will save you time AND money.  Cherie Hogan
