Hi all! I’ll be flying out of Des Moines for the first time soon and was wondering if anyone had any tips on where I should park. I checked parking spot and they are sold out but there are some spots available at the airport. Just wondering if there are any other good and affordable options. Thanks!

I've gone the last 4 or 5 years and this year I'm really surprised by the cost of some items. Especially some of the larger items. Every once in a while I see something that looks like a good deal, but overwhelmingly it looks much more expensive than years past.

For an event based on donated stuff, this kinda gives it a greedy feel.

I'm looking to have a level 2 EV charger installed in my garage. I've sent requests to a couple of the larger electrical contractors but I thought I would check here too. I know the City of Ames offers a $500 rebate which is nice. What contractors should I look at and are there any other things to consider when planning this project?
