- Just wanted to comment that I hired Sal from Youcall Wehaul to take down an old shed.
He did a great job in one day. Cleaned everything up. Didn't destroy my yard in the process. He is supposed to be coming back to put topsoil & grass… (Nextdoor Cornhill) - Anyone have a recommendation for a home for a nice energetic Dog.
Sadly its getting to that point where we can't give the attention wanted. Nothing wrong with him besides he's always itchy but its dry skin not flees… (Nextdoor South Utica)
