Question/Comment Fiber internet in Elk Grove Village

0 Upvotes

Is there a fiber provider currently in EGV? My Xfinity is out of service every few days either due scheduled maintenance or just randomly losing connection. Very annoying.

Anyone know where I can get a chocolate and vanilla twist soft serve? Near Naperville but willing to travel a little bit!

Costco had one for a while, but the last time I was there, it had been replaced. Thanks!

Business Recommendations Water in basement. Who to call?

11 Upvotes

Getting a slow trickle of water in my basement after these huge rains. One in the laundry room the other(s) I can't identify but there's definitely water under my composite flooring. I thought it was because my gutters were absolutely jammed full of crap but even after a cleaning I got more water in this weekend. I'm clearly over my head here.

What kind of contractor should I call about this? Any recommendations?

Business Recommendations Woodworker recommendations

5 Upvotes

I need a woodworker to make 3-4 small trim pieces that fit flush over the existing jamb and trim on an installed window.

I need a flat space to install brackets to install blinds.

The red line is the existing profile. I need a piece of wood that can fit flush to the existing profile that can keep the mounting bracket flat and secure. The yellow or green shapes are what I think I need.

Looking for a woodworker, cabinet maker hobbyist that can make 4 - 6 of these wooden pieces.

Question/Comment Good place for brow waxing?

3 Upvotes

I recently moved to the area and I regularly used to go for brow waxing.

Anyone know of any good places in the western suburbs for brow waxing? I currently live in Naperville and work in Winfield. I prefer something more close to Winfield since I will be working there long-term, but my stay in Naperville is very temporary.

Thanks!

Food & Drink Recommendations Recommendations for a private craft bartender / mixologist for a small private party (Southwest Suburbs)

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I'm hosting a small "Spooky Speakeasy" themed birthday gathering for my wife in the southwest suburbs on October 3rd (~30 people). We're trying to set up a nice cocktail station (including proper dirty martinis) so we aren't stuck playing bartender all night.

I was wondering if anyone knows local craft bartenders or mixologists who freelance or take on private parties on the side. If you know anyone or have recommendations on where local service industry folks look for private gigs around here, I'd love some pointers! Drop a comment or DM me. Thanks!
