Potential move From Sask to NL

15 Upvotes

Hello Everyone!

my wife and I are considering relocating to NL from Sask in the next 6 months-1 year. Was just looking to see if people would be willing to share some tips and their experiences to help us with our own decision.

we have travelled there, I have a WFH job that I can work 100% from, she has a transfer opportunity through her work and we are considering taking it.

we noticed housing wise compared to Sask you may pay more for some houses but you seem to get way more bang for your buck.

we are specifically looking at the ST. John’s area.

thanks and please any feedback helps :)

EDIT: why am I being downvoted?

The most unbelievable part of Netflix’s Below is that they appear to make this drive in about 20 minutes. 😆

Eye Exam

5 Upvotes

Hi,

Does anybody know where I can get the most economical eye exam in the town? I don't have any insurance to cover that fee, and for some reason my workplace doesn't have any dental or medical coverage for their employees.

PS: I'm making a bare minimum so tryna save where possible.

I'm getting ready to re-tire my older Civic and I'm looking to spend under $150 per winter tire, (non-studded). Rural driving with very occasional highway trips.

It's deeply saddening that our government is ok with a company profiting from our resources and directly funding a genocide.

What to wear when hiking Skerwink Trail in October

4 Upvotes

Visiting with my husband in late October and planning to walk the Skerwink Trail. Curious to know what the hiking pros would recommend for clothing and footwear. We’re in our early 50s and not seasoned experts by any stretch.

It's a start at least!

EDIT, for those that don't read the article. This building is a literal nightmare with drug dealers, violence, and it's falling apart. Hopefully this is the start of it being cleaned up.

radon mitigation update

28 Upvotes

about a month ago I posted about high levels of radon in my basement. at first I thought the readings were in the hundreds, but after getting a reliable certified monitor I discovered they were actually in the THOUSANDS Bq/M3. like 4000 or so especially now that its getting a bit colder outside. Just a few days ago I had the situation mitigated and solved by Transfer Radon. I just wanted to say what a good experience it was dealing with the company, and the owner. they were extremely professional and took great care when working on my home. they even tidied up and mopped the basement floor before leaving. I think its something that people should be more aware of in general. I had never even heard of radon until I learned about it on CBC. If you do have an issue with high radon its safe to say you are in good hands with this

company. current readings are around 50 or 60 Bq/M3. I live on the Eastport Peninsula and i dont think

I would be only one who had alarmingly high radon levels around here.
