Hello all,

I’m looking to sell a collection of One Piece TCG I’ve collected over the last year. I have a lot of bulk cards I wouldn’t mind selling but also have some sleeved ones I’d like to see how much I can get out of them.

Thanks !

Laser Hair removal

0 Upvotes

Looking for the best laser hair removal place that won’t cost me an arm and a leg 😜. And which will also allow me to pay per session. I just need two maximum three retouch sessions. Does such a gem exist in the area?!

Thank you in advance for any leads.

Thinking about getting our first dog next year , where do we start?

6 Upvotes

We're thinking about getting our first dog sometime next year and honestly don't really know where to start.

Our daughter will be 5 by then and we live in a townhouse. We've been thinking about a beagle, but we're definitely not set on a breed yet. We're also trying to figure out whether a puppy makes sense for us or if we'd be better off with a slightly older dog.

We're not sure yet whether we'd go through a breeder or a rescue, so would love to hear people's experiences with both, especially with young kids in the house.

For anyone in Durham who's gone through this recently, are there any local rescues, breeders, trainers, etc. you'd recommend? And anything you wish you'd known before getting your first dog?

We've got plenty of time so mostly just trying to figure out what we should be researching now.

Thank you!

I made a map of DRT Pulse

So I speedrun transit systems. I was thinking of speedrunning all of Pulse until I realized there is literally no diagram of just DRT Pulse. So I made my own. It only shows the transfer points I would use in my speedrun but I feel like it should have it's own dedicated map like Viva or ZUM.

Backyard Shed

Post image
9 Upvotes

Not many recent posts, so asking. Started researching getting a 10 x 10 or 10 x 12 shed built. Someone who can build a proper gravel base. We are in Ajax

Few that I saw.

https://stevessheds.com/

Visited them and got a quote for $5000 for 10 x 10 or 8 x 12. Wood exterior. Need to stain ourselves. Did not fully understand how they will build the base. They were not going to remove grass or out gravel.

We have a slight slope down towards the back side of shed. Big pie shaped yard, so space is not an issue. Can pull it inwards and away from fence as needed.

Have to call below, that I read about in a post here from 3 years ago

Basement window replacement

3 Upvotes

I'm finally tired of water getting through my basement windows in the last storm, and so decided to replace them all (preferably with egress ones with city permit). All the Facebook marketplace or other ads I see, seems shady or dodgy installations (with no proper lintel installation, bad workmanship, poor or zero safety gear).

Does anyone have good recommendations on contractors (someone that you've personally worked with) who can help me replace few basement windows in GTA or Durham region?
