As Westport moves into the mucky phase of cleanup after Hurricane Irene, many people need services: rug cleaners, debris haulers, rewire-computer nerds.
Many others are eager to provide those services.
At the same time, lots of folks have questions:
- What’s the best way to minimize mold?
- How do I take care of my pool when the pump is out?
- Anyone have a shortcut for getting through to my insurance company?
Please use the “Comments” section below to look for services — and offer your own.
And to post questions, and answer them.
This is a great opportunity to connect with neighbors, and help each other out. We’ll use the collective wisdom of the great “06880” community to solve problems and devise solutions.
Of course: caveat emptor.
Longtime Compo Beach resident Gail Cunningham Coen knows how to do everything storm-related, from battening down to repairing seawalls. Do you?
Mold is overrated as to its damage to you/your house. Carriers in the South have stopped covering it because of false claims;
Just skim the leaves out of your pool. It is safe to swim;
Call your agent instead of the carrier directly. A good agent
can do wonders.

Does anyone need a full cooler full of ice? True to the If-you-bring-your-umbrella-it-won’t-rain Law of Thermodynamics, we had power restored last night after I was finally able to secure four bags of ice at the Merritt Country Store yesterday. Let me know.
Heck I have about 100lbs of ICE!!! Any takers….
Anyone know when Newton Turnpike will get power back? On WWPT they say they’re picking off small roads all around town. Newton is a long road with lots if dark houses.
Fix us and you’ll knock off a big chunk of misery index.
Please CLP give us power.
Call CL&P, First Selectman’s office, then email State Senator Boucher and then pray. Do this repeatidly for each hour of the day.
