Links to: Food Safety/Hurricane Preparedness Pet Waste Disposal Protect Osborn from Fertilizer Use 5/7/10 I was very fortunate to find 2 local men who helped me in a time of need:
First was Rich Sapola, a retired electrical engineer, who reworked the electrical wiring on my boat at a great price. Extremely conscientious. He even stopped back a week later to check and make sure everything was working as we expected. I cannot recommend him highly enough. (609) 812-1144
Last week, my daughter and grandchildren arrived - and with a car problem. Tuckerton Auto Repair (on Route 9 across the street from the Tuckerton Pub) did the work on a Saturday and came in to the shop on a Sunday to meet with us and go over the work. The shop is small but over-delivered in service and price.

[Editor] Just to make everyone aware, several homes on Kansas Road had attempted break-ins during the past two weeks. Window screens were cut as the intruders apparently were checking whether windows were unlocked. LEH police said that they will increase patrols in the area. 7/25/08 Hi Just want to know if anyone is selling black boxes again...if so please email me back..I have someone interested in buying.

Appreciate help on best routes from Osborn Inlet to Little Egg Inlet and from Osborn to Marker 139. I've run soft aground a couple of times...keep my eye on the depth guage but am quickly in very shallow water. I see a lot of boats headed directly to the fish factory from Osborn...but it looks as if you can get in trouble quickly that route. Appreciate advice to: surftamer@gmail.com
Can anyone recommend a reliable professional?
(Listed are some the OIRA web site received...as always "caveat emptor.")

"We are also OIRA members and I recall reading on the site that you are interested in hearing about good contractors. ...
We interviewed over 10 contractors before hiring Danny Pomponio, owner of Pomponio Construction in Tuckerton, #609-713-2370. Danny is an approved contractor for Lowe's. We received positive feedback from Tuckerton Lumber about his work. I've attached before and after photos of our home because his work speaks for itself. Danny is reliable, consistently on time and dependable. Several times Danny asked if we wanted to make a change or upgrade, saying, "if this were my house, this is what I would do". He was right and we went with his advice. Danny handled all sub-contractors, such as plumbing, electrical, fiberglass decking, roofing, siding, gutter, carpeting and tiling contractors for us.
3. Plumbers: "As I am a Lic. plumber, I would be happy to answer any questions about plumbing problems. Also, I still do this for a living. Fred Kopp 8121829 " 4. Boat Electrical Work: Rich Sapola: Retired electrical engineer, extremely conscientious. 609-812-1144.
