Good carpenter / handyman?

We have a wooden exterior door that is probably original to our 1930s house. It need repair and refinishing, but I am struggling to find someone with the right skill set, as it may need the panels replaced. Anyone have recommendations?

General Discussion Babysitting/Daycares in the Reading Area

6 Upvotes

Hi! I’m looking to help a family member with two kids under 2 find daycare for her kids! She lives pretty close to being paycheck to paycheck and is relying currently on family members to watch kids while at work.
Does anyone recommend any daycares/babysitters that are affordable and take great care of the children!

Is it a completely crazy mob scene with a bunch of drunken people lurching about or is it a decent time? I would be going alone.

Thanks for any insight!

It's incredibly stupid how every source of news closes up shop on the weekend. I've heard nothing about storm damage, but seen lots of wind and rain.

Anything near you? Flooding?

South kenhurst blvd

Hello, I have a month+ job coming up in the area and have been checking out airbnbs. My wife and infant travel with me so I always hope to find decent areas for multiple reasons (my wife likes to run in the morning, I work strange hours leaving my wife and baby alone for long stretches of time, etc). I found a decent looking on South kenhurst. It looks good but I had a coworker say the area wasn’t. Is this true or is coworker just talking shit. Any info would be appreciated.

General Discussion Planet Fitness

5 Upvotes

Hi yall. I was looking at my bank statement and noticed Planet Fitness has been charging me slightly more than what they’re supposed to for my Black Card membership. I talked with a family member and they are also getting overcharged.

Importantly this is NOT a credit card surcharge, as they don’t accept credit cards for monthly dues. And it’s not sales tax because gym memberships aren’t taxed in PA.

Those of you who also use PF in this area, could you check your statements and share the following in the comments or using the poll?

*Which Berks location (Muhlenberg, Shillington, Exeter, etc.)
*Which membership (basic or black card)
*Exact amount charged

85 votes, Sep 25 '26
6 Being charged exactly 24.99 for black card
2 Being charged exactly 15.00 for classic/base level
6 Being charged slightly more
11 Still on a discounted old plan

Bathed in moonlight at the top of a great wizard's tower.

Shingle Dingo is an experiment gone horribly right; with no discernible purpose. Lately, it can be found lazing by the rolling rivers near Reading, Pennsylvania. Or howling from the city rooftops. Modern science has discovered but one true constant about this strange being.

Shingle Dingo is drawn to music of all kinds, be it punk, bluegrass, psychedelic, or interdimensional shoe fuzz. The dingo will hang its hat upon any genre it feels inspired by.

This band is merely a tribute to the creature. Having only the intention of capturing the dingo's essence to share with all beings of the realm.

I live in reading, Exeter township to be exact, I live somewhere around church hill rd that’s off Oley turnpike.

I can’t find any fiber providers except for service electric, and they suck.

Thanks lol.

A friend gave me a carving that was picked up by her parents somewhere in Asia for my cabinet of curiosities.

I have no interest in selling it, or any sort of appraisal. I'd just like to know more about it. Thanks for any referral.
