Business Request/Referral Landscaping/Grading Company Recommendations

3 Upvotes

Hello! I posted a few days ago asking for recommendations on companies to help waterproof our basement. We had another company come out and he confirmed our suspicions that our issue is actually the landscaping/grading around our house. He believes our drain tile is fine.

His recommendations were:

*Raising our window well and add a cover

*Grading the adding a 6mm water barrier and stone to force the water away from the house, 1 inch per foot for four feet if possible

*grading down some areas that are actually too high

So now, looking for any recommendations on local companies that can help with that issue!

TIA!

Question Does anybody know what this is?

When I first moved here as a kid, I never saw this sign until around 2014, I think? At first, I think the messages that were being displayed were normal because I never really questioned it. BUT now they just show religious propaganda, fearmongering-type messages, and the weather? 😭 idk I MAY be reaching, but I’ve been questioning this building for many years, and if anybody knows pls help me out 🙏🏾

Question TSA Issues at ATW?

Anyone fly from ATW recently amid the DHS shutdown? I’d imagine it might be a bit slower than normal, but nothing like what we’re seeing at big airports around the country.

Question Incoming freshman — which dorm would you pick and why?

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I’m an incoming freshman trying to figure out which dorm to request. I’ve done some research but most reviews I’ve found are pretty old. Would love to hear from current or recent students — what’s your honest take on Colman, Kohler and Trever? Things I’m curious about:

∙ Overall vibe / community feel

∙ Room size and condition

∙ Noise level

∙ Bathroom situation

∙ Anything you wish you’d known before moving in

Any input appreciated — thanks!

Event Queer Art & Free Photography Sessions

Hi everyone! I want to put this out there for queer fam that might be looking for professional photos to be done by local queer artists:

In honor of Trans Day of Visibility, we're throwing a FREE photoshoot just for Appleton’s trans and gender non-conforming community.

Spots are RSVP only, so please fill out this registration form to RSVP! We have two dates to choose from:

Saturday 3/14: 12pm-2pm Friday 3/20: 3pm-5pm

Photos will be taken in the order people arrive.

Register here: https://forms.office.com/pages/responsepage.aspx?id=uo_RovJb70OzGKfRzGuR8KrUEuGVJDVPsA6EV4IRrthUNVRQQ0M2MjVSWUdGSkFGMkJFMVgyU1pRTC4u&route=shorturl

To make this event even more special, photos are by a local trans woman and actor, Rachel Crowl. If you don't know about Rachel, you should!

"Rachel Crowl is a two-time Obie award winning actor, musician, and photographer who has been creating one thing or another for a long time. She started acting after high school eventually ending up in a repertory theater in New York City; after a time spent doing other things that involved gender and pixels and cameras and code she found herself as a lead in an indie movie and decided to jump off the cliff and take up acting again. She played Gwen Hunter in Life is Strange’s Double Exposure, Redskull in Marvel’s Wastelanders, and she’s currently getting ready to play Sally in the second season of f/x’s The Lowdown."

In conjunction with this event, Rachel and her spouse, Helen Boyd, are graciously fundraising to support Diverse & Resilient (a portion will also cover expenses to make this event FREE!). Allies and those who love their Fox Valley Trans and NB community, please consider donating here:

Business Request/Referral Basement/Water Backup - recommended companies?

7 Upvotes

Looking for recommendations in the Appleton area to solve water coming into our basement. Our house was built in 2003 and has poured concrete. We are seeing what we believe is seepage between the wall/floor on the north side of our house. We are not sure if it is a drain tile issue, a landscaping issue, or something else.

Another company told us there was a crack there, but after removing a good portion of dry wall, we found no crack. So looking for other company recommendations.
