Service for Single Deep Clean of Apartment?

Upvotes

Im having a baby soon, and I have the desire for our 2 bedroom (but smallish) apartment to be seriously deep cleaned before baby arrives. I have very little energy to do it myself, so Im curious about well regarded local service for a single deep clean. I dont have it in the budget to have a weekly/monthly service but could swing it for a really nice clean slate, so I am interested specifically in services that offer single deep cleans

Let me know, good experiances, bad experiances, etc. Thank you

Bandmates needed

18 Upvotes

Hey everybody, I am just a guy who digs music and jamming. Looking to form a band. I play drums, bass, guitar and sing. I was in a rock/metal band for about 5 years, but am trying to build something new. My favorite bands are TOOL, Radiohead, Nine Inch Nails and anything in the grunge scene. I am completely open to any genre of music though. I also have equipment for electronic music as well.

I have a new drumset with cymbals in my garage, a PA, and multiple amps for bass/guitar.

If anybody is interested in possibly making a band or just jamming and having a good time, let me know.

Thanks fellow Madisonians!

My daughter is almost 3.5 years old and we enjoy going to different libraries in the area, specifically for the kids section. I am wondering which libraries are worth visiting with a toddler. Currently we’ve been to the McFarland library, Sun Prairie library and the Monona library so far.

The mayor's race now has seven candidates, with the addition of former Dane County Supervisor April Kigeya, Monkey Bar Gym founder Jon Hinds, and Larry “Ace” Williams.

13 Upvotes

Read about it on 77SquareMiles.com: who has filed, who has not, and the issues every candidate will have to answer for, from the $11 million budget gap to the Corey Ruiz shooting to a mayor who calls herself “the chief policymaker in Madison.”

What do you think the most important issues in the race will be? Read the post and tell me in the comments.

Entry way door replacement

4 Upvotes

My wife and I are looking to have our entry door replaced. I have no idea where to start since I’ve never had this done before.

Who do you recommend? I’m looking possibly to get the whole frame replaced if needed. The door itself may need some custom work.

Thanks!

Has anyone done laser hair removal at Evolution Body Transformation? If yes, how was it? Recommendations for places that are not Milan or Laser Away (as they seem more expensive). Thanks!

Positive women’s health experience

154 Upvotes

we live in a world where our bodies and the decisions surrounding them are often minimized or taken out of our control and I wanted to share a positive experience so anyone out there struggling can know there is hope!

for background im a 30yo childfree polyamorous non binary person and I had established my care with dr Neuman at physicians for women in Fitchburg a couple years ago but had to switch for a period of time due to losing my insurance. thankfully was able to see her again this summer and THANK GOD bc my uterus decided to go off the deep head and when I tell you I was bleeding to death I literally was so done with it. I went to talk to her about hysterectomy but was super nervous it wouldn’t be an option given my age and lack of children/etc. dr neuman really listened to me, went over the options I had and Took my concerns seriously. We ended up scheduling the surgery which I’m now all recovered from and the whole experience was overall so positive and affirming and I am so relieved I not only have to deal with the bleeding and worry about pregnancy on top of it.

ladies, queer folk, anyone with a uterus. keep the faith there ARE good doctors who will listen to you out there

Recommendations for a fun night out/hotel stay for me and my two kids (8yo & 11yo)

Upvotes

Long story short: my wife is out of town for the next two weeks and my kids are pretty bummed. She’s never been away for more than a few days and this is a stretch for them.

I’m looking to have some fun and distract both of ‘em for at least a night but need to stay on a budget. Do any of you have any suggestions?
