DEAR SUN SPOTS: First and foremost I’d like you to know that Sun Spots has been a life saver to me. I read your column every day and am constantly adding names and numbers to my Rolodex for future reference.
I was wondering if you had two different trade individuals or companies in your Rolodex. First, I am looking for someone to snowblow my yard this winter.
Secondly, I am looking for a small engine mechanic, preferably a mobile small engine mechanic because I don’t have the means to transport the equipment that needs to be serviced. If these contractors could contact me at 224-0070 so we can meet, that would be great. I am on the south side of Turner near Hannaford supermarket. — No name, Turner
