DEAR SUN SPOTS: Our trusted snow-blower broke down during the storms this week and is in need of quick repair. We have had no luck reaching a repair person for it in the Gray/New Gloucester area. Can Sun Spots readers give me some suggestions for a repair person in our area who is open and taking in snow-blowers for repair right now? We are able to use someone in one of the surrounding towns as well. We can be reached at eeyorebasket@yahoo.com. — No name, New Gloucester.
ANSWER: The middle of February is an inconvenient time to be stranded without your snow-blower. With several more weeks of winter and snow in the forecast, hopefully you can get a speedy repair. The following are businesses in the New Gloucester area that offer snow-blower repair:
