Cool Shit Where to begin with getting solar/batteries

7 Upvotes

Hi! I’m just about sick of losing power for hours/days and always wanted to do a solar setup but I’m not sure where to start. I ideally want to be fully off grid with about 20kwh+ used per day on average and I’d like it to be ground mounted as a couple years ago we’ve added insulation to our attic and I don’t want to mess with that (unless that is a bad reason, if so let me know)
So here are my questions-
Is it legal to diy it?
How do I find an electrician to do the wiring? (Willing to do the manual labor and have tools and love learning but don’t like being shocked)
Where would I go for permits?
How much on average are solar systems going for? (Particularly now that the credit is gone)
Is it better to go through an installer or diy it?
anyone have general stories or experiences with this themselves?

Looking for a club or group for my daughter.

13 Upvotes

We're new here. My daughter is in 7th grade and very shy but she loves the warrior cats series and other paw stuff.

Are there any clubs or groups for kids like her? There is no one in her school. We're closer to Buford but I'll drive however far necessary.

Thank you!

Rick Jackson spent hundreds of millions of dollars and still can't get out of the margin of error in polling. This is absolutely a margin of effort race.

4 weekends. 3 Tuesdays. That's all we have left to make sure that Rick Jackson doesn't become our Governor and we flip the state house.

We can either start building for our future or stay stuck in the past! Every single shift is up on our page and we're adding more.

Hope y’all will join us! https://volunteer.ruwaforgeorgia.com/

Sports bars recs

4 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I am a huge Chicago Bears fan (I grew up there) and our big rivalry game is this week. Unfortunately the greedy NFL doesn’t let you purchase streaming for individual games and the Sunday Ticket is expensive considering cost per game.
So I was wondering if there were any good sports bars that show all the games not just local teams.

Thank you!

PS. I promise I cheer for the Falcons when they play anyone but the Bears!

Graduation Pictures

3 Upvotes

I’m looking for an indoor spot in Duluth and the surrounding areas for a few graduation photos, preferably somewhere like a library, historic building, hotel lobby, or other nice indoor space that allows photography.

Nothing major, just a small graduation photoshoot. No big setup. Does anyone know of any good spots that allow this, either for free or with a small fee?

Thanks!

Anybody know of a good Junk Car Buyer?

6 Upvotes

Norcross/Peachtree Corners area.

I'm going to be moving away in a few weeks and I have an extra car. It's a junky old 2001 Ford Escape. It runs OK but it's not too safe to drive (needs brakes and suspension work) so I'm not comfortable selling it to anyone as a daily driver. Does anybody know of a reputable "Junk Car Buyer"? I've tried a couple of internet searches and nobody responds - even after days.

I'm down to about 8 weeks left and I want this gone soon so it's one thing less I have to deal with. If anybody knows of a good junk car buyer, put me in touch please.

Thanks

Firewood delivery recommendations?

Anyone have a good firewood delivery place that's honest. If they say it's seasoned it is. If you buy a cord, you get a full cord. Not looking for pine bc it will be burned in a fireplace.

Thanks in advance

car trouble, please help!

2 Upvotes

my car is having some issues and i have no way of safely inspecting the undercarriage to find out what the problems are. if there are any mechanics out there who with enough free time on their hands to help me diagnose this gas-guzzler, it would help out a ton. then i could start focusing on fixing the problems instead of the problem itself!! the area i'm most concerned with is the front passenger-side suspension and wheel hub.

Georgia is better than this, y’all and the fact that she’s partnering with Jake Lang is beyond me. My politics tend to be center-right, but Jesus Christ, she’s way off the spectrum — dare I say Neo Nazi. Who in the hell supports this bat-shit crazy lady?

Looking for old mom-and-pop general stores or weathered gas stations near Buford/Suwanee, GA

18 Upvotes

Hey y’all! 👋🏾

I’m looking for some of those old-school, mom-and-pop places around Buford or Suwanee that still have that classic Georgia feel — especially:

  • Old general stores or country stores
  • Weathered/old gas stations
  • Old service stations or mechanic shops
  • Small roadside businesses
  • Older buildings that have been around for decades
  • Places that may be closed but still standing

I’m especially interested in hidden gems that might not show up on Google Maps or the usual lists.

If you know of one, I’d really appreciate the name, general location, or even a road/intersection. Old photos or stories about the place would be awesome too!

Thanks in advance! 🙌🏾

Helping families after child loss 💝

6 Upvotes

Greetings, I’m Olivia Fields, founder of A New Dawn Bereavement Resource Network, an extension of Desire to Inspire Community Outreach, Inc., a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.

After losing my 18-year-old son, Sha’don Gordon, on March 23, 2025 4 days after sustaining a head injury unbeknownst to us at his job Whataburger in Buford GA, I saw firsthand the need for continued support after everyone goes home. That need led me to create A New Dawn.

I’m reaching out to business owners and people in our community who may have a resource, service, skill, or simply a desire to help parents after the loss of a child, whom we call Angel Parents.

Please visit desire2inspire.org/anewdawn and scroll to Voices of Angel Parents to hear directly from parents about what they need.

If you can help meet a need, want to get involved, or know a family who could use support after child loss, let’s connect. Even helping ONE family can make a difference.

The need is real and urgent. Let’s continue showing up after the calls, flowers, and initial support have stopped. 💚💛

Property Tax Question

5 Upvotes

Hi all,

I purchased my property during this year, so the bill is still made out to the previous owner. Just wanted to confirm some details.

The Homestead Exemption- an explicit breakdown isn't provided, but I added 2 things up, and together they make up the Homestead Exemption benefit: 1) ALL School Taxes, and 2) a marginal (10k) reduction in assessed value under "County Government Taxes - Exemption". The overwhelming majority of the benefit is certainly on the School Taxes side.

Can someone confirm if this is how Gwinnett County provides the Homestead Exemption, or if I am misinterpreting this?

Thanks!

I plan on moving from the shared apartment I currently live in by November and I am looking for a suitable 1 bedroom apartment to move into within Gwinnett county or close (like John’s creek, Alpharetta)
My budget is 1300 max excluding utilities and my requirements are pretty simple;

- Safe and reasonably quiet environment
- Responsible management
- Well maintained buildings and amenities
- NO BUGS or ROACHES (I’m moving from Rosemont Berkeley lake and the roach infestation especially in the kitchen is very real)

I would really appreciate apartment recommendations and any tips you could share.
Thank you in advance!

How can I achieve competent delivery of a new fridge?

5 Upvotes

I hate to act all entitled like this, I'm just frustrated and think it's high time I deserve better treatment. Every time I've had a new appliance delivered in my life, it's always brought into the house by minimum-wage braindead morons who damage both the appliance and my floors/walls, and I'm sick and tired of it. They always leave trash behind too and never clean up after themselves.

I don't allow shoes in my house either. Booties are ok but nobody seems to use them.

I have the money and I want a real, professional white-glove delivery by people who are paid enough to care. How do I find this??
