We are all set. A friend of a friend of a friend pulled through and we were able to give him quite a bit of business for his unrelated day job.

For all of you that legitimately tried to help, thank you. To everyone else, I hope that the next time you are in a difficult position that you are able to receive help or at least empathy.

As a Vermont gramma please accept my apology for all of the assholes that have never faced a problem they weren’t prepared for. Geez, this forum is brutal. Glad you found help. Please note, we aren’t all like this!

OP I see you're all set, but next time if you have a landline/cell phone, call your local town clerk/neighbor/road crew boss and see i they have any names for you.

I'm glad everything worked out (and I hope my driveway gets plowed next!)

Glad you got the help, and I’m a disabled veteran so I DO feel for you but I 100% get where the flak came from. Hopefully your plow guys vacations don’t line up with another monster storm haha.

Don’t think the issue was that he took a vacation. It’s that he didn’t warn customers so they could make prior arrangements for when he was gone. That’s kind of common courtesy.

Oh 100%, idk how I missed that my bad.
