Selling my hydraulic bilge pump. It came out of a bilge on a large ship. I purchased it in 2018, and used it for pumping down a pond as I was digging it. Pump was rebuilt by Valley Truck Parts in 2018 - has been in storage ever since. It has a 6” head/discharge, which amounts to an incredible amount...

New, never used cast-iron cookstove. Purchased new from BI Retreat 2 summers ago - never used once. Comes with several lengths of exhaust pipe. Ready to use. Stored in garage - it’s a little dusty. Paid $285, asking $200. Please see description below from BI Retreat’s original post. Call or text 231...

Wondering if anyone has a woodsplitter they would sell or rent? My own is not working and I’m a little behind… Thanks in advance. 2314482350

Great news! It was announced at this month’s Waste Management Committee that the Transfer Station is working with Charlevoix County to remove (up to) 55 gallon drums of hazardous material from the Island. I believe this is being done for the first time in several years. If you have barrels or other ...

Hi Beanie, Thanks for your concern and comments!! I am ONLY speaking for myself here - NOT as a member of any committee or group. Here are some things that I have learned in the last year, mostly through written correspondence but also through research. 1. There is not now, nor has there ever been, ...

Hi John, Thanks for your input. I appreciate it. You said you would support a good plan - check out the Beaver Island Master Plan. I think it’s an amazing plan. A lot of people put in a lot of good hours on it - and they, too would like to see the fruits of their labor pay off someday. You must be r...

Hi Meg - Thanks so much for being willing to get involved!!! I, too, am sorry if I appear to have an us vs. them mindset. A lifetime of digging up (and burying!!) old drainfields has taught me everybody poops, regardless of truck color or even truck ownership. My concern is that the Master Plan says...

Hi Trish, Thanks for reaching out. I apologize that it took me so long to get back with you. Except for the question, -“Do you really think it would be smart to have it open without employees who had to go into quarantine?” - I totally agree with what you have stated. Never did I Imply or state that...

Meg, Thank you for asking questions - and welcome home!! The island appreciates your family’s contributions. We need more folks of your caliber (and generation!!!) to come here. I’m sure you’ve already looked it over, but the Master Plan published nearly 4 years ago created a pretty clear picture an...

Thomas - Thanks for your input. I will check all those places out. Unfortunately, I disagree on the Transfer station doing an outstanding job of keeping the island clean, neat, and tidy. Maybe I should have my eyes checked. But it’s ok to disagree. Nobody here should have to find their own way to ge...

Hi Thomas - Thanks again for reaching out. I have a question. If the property that you bought on Beaver Island In 2018 was littered with the junk mess of barrels,tires, old boat, etc., and you wanted to clean the mess up - where would you bring it to in Beaver Island in 2018 or 2020? What about card...

Hi Thomas - Thanks for your input. No one, ecspecially not me, has asked anybody to pay for anything!! All that we are asking is for the Person who is accountable for coming up with Waste Management solutions to present us with a plan, just as they would cardboard. By the way, it’s mine. I tried my ...

[quote=BeanieBeanstalk post_id=43378 time=1606697931 user_id=3799] George, you are so naturally diplomatic. Maybe we should make you mayor. [/quote] Beanie, Thanks for your input - you made me chuckle. I totally agree with HALF of what you said- Agree - George appears diplomatic!! I’m hoping he stop...

Hi Pscott, Thanks for your input. I value it. Could you explain - what do you mean “Do you really think it would be smart to have it open without employees who had to go into quarantine?” I’m confused by your question. I have simply asked, what is the after hours number and point of contact for the ...
