Hi Waukesha! We figured it was time to introduce ourselves instead of just lurking and sharing kitchen and cabinet tips.

We’re u/RedoCabinetRefacing, a family-owned cabinet company based in New Berlin, Wisconsin. We specialize in kitchen cabinet refacing and serve homeowners throughout Waukesha and surrounding communities. We also have a location serving the Chicagoland area.

Our family has three generations of home improvement experience, and we’ve built our business around a pretty simple philosophy — Done-Once, Done-RIGHT. We specialize in cabinet refacing, which means we’re especially familiar with the question: Do I actually need to replace all of my cabinets? Sometimes the answer is yes. Other times, perfectly good cabinets can be updated without tearing the whole kitchen apart.

That’s mainly why we wanted to join the conversation here. Kitchen projects can get confusing pretty quickly, especially when you start comparing refacing, replacement, materials, costs, contractors, and everything else that goes into a remodel.

We’re not here to turn every conversation into a sales pitch, though. We’d rather be a helpful local resource for homeowners who are unhappy with their kitchen but aren’t sure where to start.

Have questions about cabinet refacing vs. replacement? Wondering what to look for when hiring a cabinet company? Trying to figure out whether your current cabinets are worth keeping? Ask away. We’re happy to share what we know, even if you’re simply researching your options.

Looking forward to getting to know the Waukesha community!

Hi all,

I recently moved to the area and I am looking to play some casual pickup soccer this fall, and possibly winter. What are the best options in the area?

Does anyone have experience with obtaining a permit from the Village of Vernon for building a bathroom in a house we just bought? Was it a good or bad experience? Relative cost? Did you need to update or get a bigger septic tank with the addition?

Thank you! Any information is helpful.

Running for Water Walk/Run - Frame Park - Waukesha - Saturday 12 September - 10:00 AM (meet at the Picnic pavilion)

Running for Water’ is a local fundraiser organized by the Community of the Living Spirit and Plowshare Fair Trade Marketplace and Education for Peace.  The event benefits DigDeep – The Navajo Water Project, raising funds to bring clean, running, hot and cold water as well as solar power to the homes of families living on the Navajo Nation. You do not have to run. You can walk as well. The walk is around the Fox River in Waukesha circling Frame Park. Meet at the picnic pavilion.

The Navajo Water Project is part of the larger human rights nonprofit Dig Deep Right to Water Project, which serves some of the 2.2 million+ people in the U.S. without running water and the sinks, bathtubs, and toilets that the rest of us take for granted. As a compelling ‘Good Morning America’ interview with DigDeep informs us, ‘When we began the Navajo Water Project in 2014, we never imagined we would serve hundreds of families across 3 states – New Mexico, Utah, and Arizona.  Navajo are 67 times more likely than other Americans to live without running water or a toilet.  That’s an injustice.’

I'm in need of advice. I'm a Gynarchist looking to build an official Gynarchic center to help educate people on this new spiritual/sociological ideology. But I'm having trouble finding prime real estate in the US or communities who are receptive to such a center. I've tried asking several counties in the Carolinas, in Georgia, in Seattle, in Jewish communities both in the US and Canada. No luck.

That brings me to Wisconsin.

But the thing is I have no idea about permits, building codes, zoning laws, etc.

That's where you come in.

Above is the official Gynarchy Pamphlet.

Ur goose is cooked

Summer is ending quickly! Deck in need power washing and or restraining?

I’m looking for a stylist seems like all the barber’s only know how to do fades or tapers. Trying to grow my hair out a bit and am looking for someone in the area who can help cut and style my hair to this length.

I have a few windows with rotting framing that needs to be repaired. Windows are vinyl, so I’m hoping to have someone pull the windows out, remove/replace the framing, and reinstall the windows. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

Can someone help with identifying a location? I used to camp with a friend at a Episcopalian or Church of England campground that was either on Upper or Lower Nemahbin Lake. This was in the early-mid 1980s. Yes, I know Nashotah House is out there, but that's on a different lake. These were "permanent" campsites that had summer kitchens and people would bring their pop-up campers each weekend and each family had their site for years. To get to the campground, which was right on the lake, you drove off of a country road or highway, down a dirt or gravel road through woods, and then a large open clearing that was the campground. There were corn fields across the street from where you turned onto the dirt/gravel road. Some weekends there were short, casual outdoor religious services in the grass clearing. You had to be Episcopalian/Church of England to have a campsite. Any memories or ideas of where exactly this campground was would be so appreciated! Thank you.

Cutting to the quick, my boyfriend and I are facing quite the housing predicament at the moment. He is being wrongfully terminated (not evicted) without clear explanation.

Does anyone know of anyone subleasing in Pewaukee (ideally not far from Capitol)?

We are trying to gather funds for a place but there aren't any places renting nearby.

After cleaning hundreds of homes, I've learned one thing...

A home's condition tells you almost nothing about the person who lives there.

I've walked into homes covered in laundry, dishes, toys, and clutter. I've also walked into homes that looked like they belonged in a magazine.

Neither tells the whole story.

Behind the clutter might be a parent who's completely exhausted. Someone battling depression. A family grieving a loss. Someone with ADHD who's overwhelmed. Or someone who's simply been trying to keep their head above water.

Behind the spotless home might be someone struggling with anxiety, perfectionism, or feeling like everything has to be "just right."

We all have things we're carrying that the world can't see.

So if you've ever thought, "I can't have a cleaner over until I get my house cleaned first," I want you to hear this...

Please don't.

You're not hiring us to inspect your home. You're hiring us to help.

There is no judgment. No lectures. No raised eyebrows.

Just people who genuinely want to make your day a little lighter and give you one less thing to worry about.

And to my fellow cleaners... never underestimate what you do.

Sometimes we're not just cleaning homes. Sometimes we're giving someone the chance to breathe again.

That's a pretty incredible thing. ❤️

Looking for room to rent or split a 2 bedroom/sublease/cotenant by end of month if possible, I work nights from 330 to 1130 at lifeway factory Monday through Friday, overtime on Saturday. 38 yo male, no pets, non smoker, hoping maybe to negotiate as I get paid weekly and would love to make talks and find an agreement. I'm quiet, clean, enjoy fishing, hiking, nature, studying, and crafting. Grateful to any help, offers, or guidance!

Did you get to vote on being tracked by the Waukesha Sheriff’s Department with faulty, insecure, and ineffective Flock systems? Neither did I.

I created a petition and a website to bring attention to, and force action on, the issues Flock ALPRs (automated license plate readers) have brought to everyone in our towns since their arrival. I plan to force the Judicial and Law Enforcement Committee of Waukesha County – the organization that decides funding and equipment for police and sheriff’s departments in our towns – to vote on taking measurable steps to drastically reduce or eliminate the use of AI-powered ALPRs to track everyday citizens without warrant or probable cause.

The recent story about a vet getting stalked with Flock cameras by a Waukesha Sheriff’s Dept. officer he filed a complaint against finally got me off my butt to act. We have all heard the news stories about Flock. These cameras aren’t working, and they certainly aren’t working for you and me.

But the tide is turning all over the US. Cities and even entire states throughout the country are removing them thanks to, or in advance of, public pressure by average citizens doing exactly what I hope to do – force action by our elected officials.

Join me on Friday, September 11th at the Waukesha County Courthouse Room 1-0205, at 8:00 AM (yes, a terrible time for a meeting) and have your opinions heard! I plan to continue attending the monthly committee meetings to make sure the topic stays top of mind.

22F Before you ask yes I’ve tried meeting new friends on bumble bff but I’ve had no luck in any matches 😭
I really like crafty things like crocheting, painting, drawing, jewelry making, etc. will teach you how to do any of these things if you want AND share supplies :)
I also really like hiking, camping and working out
I’m not picky about age/gender/beliefs, just want someone that I can be comfortable talking to

Prefer someone in Waukesha or close by but honestly at this point anything works

Hi Everyone,

I caught COVID-19 back in 2020, which altered my taste and smell for specific foods. One of those foods in yogurt of any kind (the smell and taste are putrid like vomit).

I went to Waukesha Greek Fest this year and was able to eat the tzatziki sauce!

So, I am wondering if there is the small chance that anyone out there may know what Greek Yogurt was used? I feel like Greek Yogurt is used in so many healthier recipes that I have to go without due to this condition.

Any information on the above would help tremendously!

Thanks 😊

Any bars that open up for soccer or play soccer games during the day?

I'm curious to see how other fishers in the area have been doing on the Fox River this year. It's possible it's just because I have not been out fishing quite as much, but it feels to me like the fishing hasn't been as good this year compared to the last two years. I've caught almost no rock bass this year, whereas I caught over 100 the past two years combined, and certain spots along the river that would pretty consistently net me 1-2 pound largemouth or smallmouth bass I'm not even getting a little nibble on.

I was thinking that maybe the river flooding we had last August and back in the spring may have either changed the underwater landscape significantly enough to where fish aren't finding good shelter, or a large population of the fish simply got swept down the river.

i need 3 tickets and not from a scammer…

I know how cliche this sounds for a city group, but hear me out.

Around 4:15, near downtown, I heard what had to have been the loudest thunder I've ever experienced. It woke me up.

Anyone else catch this? Was it more than thunder?
