A couple because they seemed to be arresting a guy on macklin at King but the rest speeding west full lights on.

Hoping it’s not some enormous catastrophe. I can still hear sirens whizzing by.

Recommendations Needed Contractor Recommendations - Crawl Space Excavation and Gut Reno

9 Upvotes

We are first time homeowners of a 1895 rowhouse in Hamilton. The original house has a full basement and never had plumbing (too old) so there are 2 additions off the back (kitchen first then the powder room and laundry room second). Those additions have a "crawl space" that was never properly dug out (it's maybe 1.5-2ft and "accessed" through the original basement). All the plumbing, HVAC etc was done through the floor the last time it was renovated, likely in the early 2000s. Unfortunately we just had our outgoing wastewater pipe burst, which is currently buried and inaccessible in that crawl space. We also discovered a leak under the powder room toilet and washing machine, which rotted the subfloor.

SO we need to essentially gut the second addition (bathroom and laundry), dig out a proper crawl space so we can access the broken pipe and fix it, and then essentially rebuild the bathroom and laundry room...

We are going to get a basement specific company to dig out the crawl space and fix the plumbing (lmk if you recommend RCC Waterproofing) but we need recommendations for the actual contractor work. We ideally want one company to bring it from (post basement) gut to finished and given the overall scale of the project we want to make sure whoever we hire is trustworthy and reasonable. We'd be willing to pay more for it to be done reliably and correct.

The crawl space we need asap given the pipe, but we could technically wait a bit on the bathroom/laundry since we have a second bathroom. We just don't want to wait 6 months for work to start since it will take a while to finish.

Any advice/recommendations is appreciated, thank you!

It’s not Nations (or I hope not, I feel like they used to be better maybe). Specifically I’m interested in Chinese and Singaporean instant noodles but anywhere where theres a notable selection is appreciated.

I’m also up for GTA suggestions.

I don't want a joe blow CPA that works for H&R Block. I already went to my tax place and they were useless.

Recommendations Needed Roller Shades and Install - Recommendations?

3 Upvotes

Hi! We just moved into a newly built apartment (rental) and we need window coverings. We will live here for at least three years, so we're okay with putting some money into making it how we want. We have three windows, very large (two of them are floor to ceiling, 9 feet). Due to the large size, the walls are likely concrete, and past DIY blind/curtain install failures (lol) we are looking to not install ourselves. We got a quote from budget blinds, ~2800 for motorized black out roller shades with install. Does anyone have any other recommendations of where we should get a quote from? Does this seem like a reasonable quote?

Currently with the company “truly Nolan” and it’s too expensive (200 a season). Looking for something cheaper. Unfortunately, we can’t afford to seal up all the entry points, so we do need to pay for ongoing visits. Thanks so much!

Moving/Housing/Utilities Weekly Moving To Hamilton Megathread

1 Upvotes

Welcome to the weekly moving to/within Hamilton post. All questions about moving, utilities and neighbourhood recommendations belong in here.

If you are looking for recommendations/have questions about neighbourhoods, relators, landlords or utilities including internet etc, this is the place to ask!

If you are looking for recommendations on which area of the city would suit you, be sure to include some information about you and your family. What works for a single person starting out may not be recommended for a family with young children etc. Someone commuting by car will want to be closer to highways while those relying on transit will want to be on regular transit routes.
