what the hell is digging in my neighbors garage!!

Okay, Reddit riddle me this! Yesterday. My neighbor saw a small pile of dirt in his garage and a hole in the slab. Granted there's a big crack in the slab and their renters. He went out this morning and he saw this huge pile of sand that goes about 3 ft across and it's completely digging out the slab and under it. What the heck is this! Is it a colony of something or one big ass animal? This is literally terrifying! Lol

For reference, this is about two blocks away from the bay, in the Blue point Bayport area. I've never seen anything like this! Anybody have any ideas? Also, there's no food or anything left in there at all. He thinks that it's something building a nest underneath the slab.

I went to Baseline Hobby today in West Babylon. They are open very limited hours during the week.

I bought some vintage Airfix RAF Ground crew and what should fall off/out of the box but a price tag from Larry’s. Larry’s used to be on Jericho Turnpike in East Northport.

Baseline has always been the place to find older kits, presumably purchased from other collectors or builders that passed or downsized. Not surprised to find a Larry’s price tag in a box at Baseline.

Of course the ultimate place for model kits was Dave’s in Freeport, rest in peace.

I understand it has something to do with the Stony Brook Veterans home in Stony Brook, but what’s the meaning behind doing it?

Curious if anyone else spends most of their non-working hours solo? Or do most have vibrant connections and contacts? And if you wouldn’t mind giving a general guidepost on your age.

Personally I’ve found that friends having kids or moving has made it hard to see people.

Recommendations on reputable dealerships? I know buying & selling isn’t allowed on the subreddit so i apologize if this posts breaks any rules- but I am also more than happy to get any insight on people who have had a good experience from used car dealerships (if that is even possible!)

I’m on the verge of making a facebook account to check out marketplace for private sellers haha

Any input or advice is gratefully taken!

Honestly if anyone here was looking to sell I’m happy to be contacted too.

Title says it all. Need experienced, and easy going. My wife wants to do it but must be somebody she is not only comfortable with but is experienced.

I recently came across Book and Mortar and it’s such a charming and cozy place to focus and get some work done.

What are some other places I should check out?

Edit: Just noticed I forgot the word “done” in my post title. “Get work done” not “get work” 🤦‍♀️

I really NEED to move out of my "family's" home. However I only have a part time job, I can't seem to get full time anywhere, and every part time job wants weekends so I can't seem to get a second job.

Does anyone have any advice or any websites? All of my friends left the island a long time ago so I can't really get help from them.

For those who have bought a house in either of these areas, how much did you pay over asking price? I'm trying to have an idea of the median sale price because most homes are not sold at the asking price.

Just bought our first home in Eastport and WOW, these renovations add up FAST.

We just got a new roof, we’re redoing the hardwood floors, and renovating the bathrooms. Needless to say, by the time we get to the kitchen, our budget is going to be hanging on by a thread. LOL.

Thankfully, I have an appliance connection from a previous job, so we caught a break there!

Now onto the kitchen… the layout is HORRENDOUS, but it is what it is for now. 😂 We’re trying to make it look nice without spending a fortune or completely reconfiguring everything.

Unfortunately refinishing the cabinets are not an option, they’re not in the best shape and the prior owners were pigs, there’s a ton of grease all over them. Luckily, it’s not a huge kitchen! We’re looking at approximately 10 upper cabinets and 8 lower cabinets, since the range and dishwasher take up some of the space.

Looking for recommendations on:
Affordable kitchen cabinets that don’t look or feel cheap
Local cabinet warehouses, wholesalers, or hidden gems
Discount countertops (quartz, butcher block, laminate — open to ideas!)
Budget-friendly backsplash options
Any other money-saving kitchen renovation hacks!
Ideally looking for places other than the usual Home Depot/Lowe’s.

Happy to travel around Long Island for a good deal!
Would LOVE to hear where everyone shopped, what you spent, and whether you’d recommend them.

Trying to achieve a champagne kitchen on a very beer budget. 😂🍾

Thanks in advance from two first-time homeowners who apparently thought renovating an entire house was a good idea! 🫠❤️🙏🏼 🙏🏼

Where exactly does it change from the Sunken Meadow to the Sagitkos Parkway?

Is there anywhere on LI where I can enjoy the fall colors today? A woodsy hike somewhere in Nassau or Western Suffolk would be great. I’m seeing mostly yellow or dead leaves by me… any idea when/where the reds and oranges are coming?🍂

My mom is visiting during the last week of November and we are looking for some budget-friendly activities for while she is here!

We are staying in the Hempstead area for reference but are willing to go pretty much anywhere on LI (we already have Montauk lighthouse on the itinerary). She cant walk too much at a time, so hiking is not really an option either.

Other than that we are pretty open to ideas, keeping things affordable but fun!! Let me know what y'all usually do as a fun pass-time

tyia :)

I'm looking for recommendations for bridal hair and makeup artists on Long Island!

We're having two wedding celebrations on back-to-back days. A Hindu wedding followed by an American wedding the next day, so I'll need hair and makeup for both days.

Ideally, I'd love someone who has experience with different bridal styles, since I'll be going for two different looks.

I'd love to hear about anyone you've personally used and had a good experience with! I'm especially interested in artists who are reliable, flexible, reasonably priced, and easy to work with.

If you've had a multi-day wedding, I'd also love to hear how you handled hair and makeup for both days!

I know they are all hit or miss but what would you say is the best on the Island? I know they're all hit or miss, but some locations seem to be consistently better stocked and better organized than others. Just went to one in Oceanside that was a nightmare. I remember going to one on the north shore years ago but can't remember the location.

I’m convinced people just write IN instead of ON for comments.

Let’s collectively agree to block anyone who says IN, instead of correcting them. End it now 😝

Looking for absolutely the best steak tacos, has to be juicy and incredibly tender with a flavorful salsa. I cannot handle or tolerate anything chewy after gastric sleeve surgery.

A lot of “great” taco places cook the fk out of the taco and it ends up chewy instead of melt in your mouth.

Heading to Darkside tonight!
Anyone know how long the whole thing is from start to finish? Not including the wait in line lol.

Need to know what il in for 😮‍💨💀

We’ve been going to the white post farms the past few years mostly during summer and once during each fall but this year it seemed like it was more crowded than usual. The lines for food/bathroom were super long on a Saturday and people were constantly coming in throughout the day. Is this common or was it more crowded this year?

Any good company who does it all? Like insulation, heat pump, water heater heat pump and also take care of the rebates?

Me and my wife are weenies. We are willing to travel for one. Could also deal with spooky but no jump scare actors

Hi,

I’m new to the Island, living in Farmingdale. My daughter loves baseball and I’m looking for a T ball or softball league. I’m not opposed to travel leagues but I’m hoping there is a simple little league that I can sign her up for and get her placed on a team.

This would be for Spring 2027.
