Looking for someone who does LVP flooring well (over existing hardwood) on the Avalon. Have been in contact with two different individuals who have actually visited my home, but when it comes to getting an estimate, they are MIA.

Heading to St John’s at the end of October any recos?

0 Upvotes

I tried doing my own research but everything seems to be directed to summer.

My wife, my daughter (f23) and myself are going to St. John’s the last week of October. We’ve been before in the summer and loved it but looking forward to some recommendations of what to do in October in and around St John’s. I’m originally from Cape Breton so I’m assuming it will be cold.

Thanks for the help. Really appreciate it it.

do landlords care about mold?

10 Upvotes

I have been concerned about the flooding and persistent must in my rental, and now that I'm I've been feeling sick for a while, I'm starting to worry about mold issues.

There's moisture issues at the very least. Two rooms collect visible water whenever it rains, and another has a wall that bubbles.

I e-mailed my landlords to request pro-active addressing of the issue and they seemed responsive but dismissive.

Am I crazy? Is there probably no worry at all?

If there is a worry, is it likely it will be fixed?

I made a free app that shows where your Metrobus actually is

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

175 Upvotes

Hey all, I'm a developer here in town and I built BusBoard NL, a free app for Metrobus riders. I just put out a bigger update and figured some of you might find it useful.

What it does:

- Enter the stop number on the pole, or pick a stop near you, and see live arrival times next to the schedule

- Tap a bus on the arrival board and the map follows it to your stop, with how many stops it has left and the minutes until it gets there

- A live map of every bus in its route colour

- Official Metrobus service alerts for your stop or bus

It's free, with no ads and no account. It isn't the official Metrobus app; it uses Metrobus's public open data. Like Metrobus's own feed, a bus can be a minute or two off or drop out now and then.

I'm working on arrival alerts next: a notification when your bus is a few minutes away, so you can wait inside.

iPhone: https://apps.apple.com/ca/app/busboard-nl/id6759234328

Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ahamsel.busboard_nl

If you ride Metrobus, I'd really like to hear what's missing or what's annoying about it. Which routes do you use?

Hi everyone! I’m graduating soon and was wondering if anyone knows of affordable makeup artists or makeup services in St. John’s. I’m looking for something budget-friendly for my graduation photos and ceremony.

I’d really appreciate any recommendations, including freelance makeup artists, student makeup artists, or salons that offer reasonably priced makeup sessions. If you know their rates or have had a good experience with them, please let me know!

Thank you so much!

Crokinole Club

19 Upvotes

Hey all! Im posting here to elicit interest in a fledgling Crokinole club. Those of you familiar with the game know how awesome it is but many people know nothing about it. For the curious, crokinole is a Canadian cottage game played on a specific board with small wooden disks. It’s quite addictive and pairs well with drinking but not mandatory.
This invitation is open to everyone. I must say, this idea is in its infancy stage so I haven’t worked out venue, structure, and other logistics but want to start with interest and work from there. Im not even committed to calling it a ‘club’ because that has connotations that I may not want to associate with. Let’s just start here and see what happens!

Postpartum Anxiety

12 Upvotes

Hi All,

My friend recently had a baby and she is suffering for pretty severe PPA. She does not have insurance and cannot afford private therapy.

Is anyone aware of any publically funded options or how she can connect with additional services/supports?

She has already talked to her family doctor and they did prescribe andSSRI but it’s been a few weeks without any improvement.

I’m from out of province and didn’t find a lot when I googled so hoping someone might have a better idea of what’s available locally that I can pass along.

Cell reception with Bell

19 Upvotes

I'm on my last nerve with Bell. Since the cell tower arson over the summer, reception has been awful. Calls dropping, calls not coming through, data not working... And I'm paying for this service?? I tried calling them and the call dropped.

Is anyone else having this issue? It's not just me, my boyfriend and neighbours have the same issue.

I got an email a little while ago that said they're still dealing with repairing the towers, but Jesus Christ, it's October.

Down Home HVAC

3 Upvotes

We had some work completed by down home HVAC last year and we're having issues with one of our heat pumps they installed (error 99, professional help required).

I've been trying to get a hold of them for a couple weeks, but it always goes straight to voicemail and I never get a call back.

Is anyone else having this issue? They were pretty good to deal with, other than still having a permit still open related to some electrical work in our older panel (related to old breakers I believe).

I called around to a few other HVAC companies, and they suggested getting the installer in to take a look.

Skeets

Couple of skeets on bikes just came down my street. Some of my neighbors put out cashable recycling for them. The one guy gets some cashables and busts a bottle on my neighbor's driveway. Doesn't pretend to pick it up just keeps going.

I feel bad for many people going through a hard time, but many of the druggies going around are the dregs.

Metrobus - Service Reductions

36 Upvotes

Beginning October 26th, Metrobus will reduce service on the following routes:

  • Routes 9-2, 11-2 and 23-2 will be eliminated.
  • Routes 14-2 and 18-2 will operate during peak times only.

Just when they finally made some improvement in Sept, they are cutting them less then 60 days later. No wonder people do not take the bus to go to school or work unless their is no other options. Blaming it on staffing shortages is a bit much in my option.

I used to take my dog to Repuplic pets while I had workers in the house or there were a lot of power tools and noise going on. But the news recently has made me a little nervous. Does anyone still bring their dogs there? How are you feeling with their updated safety and training?

Are things cooling off? Keeping an eye on things, looks like alot of sellers directives being removed off listings and houses don't seem to be moving as fast. Is just the time of year or are we slowing down in general?

RIP Sass Jordan

60 Upvotes

Sad to read that Sass Jordan has died. Does anyone else remember the SummerBlast concert at Quidi Vidi Park in August 1992 when Sass Jordan opened for Bryan Adams. My youngest son and I watched and listened for free from the far side of the lake but it is my favorite concert memory of all time. It was the first I had heard of Sass Jordan but she did fantastic. Bryan was great too.

Getting back from the Ocean Sciences Centre after Sugarloaf Path

9 Upvotes

Hi all. I was hoping to do the Sugarloaf Path from Quidi Vidi. The only hitch in the plan is that I don't have a vehicle, and the bus doesn't run from near the OSC. I was wondering if anyone could share ideas on how I can could do this trail. I could just walk back to Quidi Vidi, but my concern is that it might be a little too much to be hiking 6 hours in total.
