About Homeowner's Handyman

March in Otis can't make up its mind: one day the sun slumps the snowbanks along Route 180, and the next a late storm drops a foot of heavy, wet snow on the camps around Beech Hill Pond. Homeowner's Handyman keeps driveways and walkways open through the back-and-forth weeks at the tail of a Hancock County winter. Late-season snow is the heaviest to lift and the fastest to set up like concrete, so getting to it promptly matters. A cleared path from the door to the car and a drive passable clear to the road: these are the plain victories of a Maine March. Then the sun returns, the eaves start dripping, and the woods smell of thaw.
