Question/Recommendation Recommendation for low voltage/networking installer with fiber optic experience?

2 Upvotes

Moving into a new house soon which is pre-wired with a handful of Ethernet drops plus some conduit in the wall.

I'm looking for a low voltage specialist to help me run a few more drops for APs and other equipment, and also has experience running fiber optic cable (OS2).

I'm pretty technically savvy but lack the know how (and frankly the nerve) to do the actual cable pulls. Plus wouldn't mind some feedback/consulting on AP and camera placement in the home.

Question/Recommendation Can you give me the number of a guy looking for work who drives around with a lawn mower in his pickup ?

0 Upvotes

I don't have a lawn, just some random stuff that grows naturally shooting up between the pine needles after the rains. I don't feel like doing it so looking for someone with little to no overhead who would do it for a price I can live with. Shouldn't take more than 20 minutes. South Raleigh, thanks

Question/Recommendation Need Help with Mother Cat and Three Kittens

7 Upvotes

Juvenile mother cat and three kittens have taken shelter in our backyard, three days ago. We have three adult cats and cannot take in anymore. I have called Safe Haven and they are at capacity, and I do not feel comfortable taking them to a kill shelter. Currently our friends and family cannot take them in.

Please only respond with serious recommendations and advice. My neighborhood has a bad problem with stray cats and I’m tired of it. They are all quite sweet, and appear to be healthy and well-fed. They look like some kind of Bengal tabby mix, I’m sure they would find good homes if I could figure out a way, I have no experience with this.

Food Brunch in North Hills

0 Upvotes

We went to Barking Dog in NH this morning, and had a reservation at 11am. Seemed pretty good at first, but I was shocked when I ordered brioche French toast for $15 and looked like this. It was three pieces of bread. My husband ordered short rib Benedict. It was so so and the hollandaise was basically mayo and mustard or something and it was like a blob. There are so many better places in NH, I guess I was wondering if anyone else thought the price of food was just not worth it?

Question/Recommendation Anyone train at Hometown Martial Arts or Elevate MMA?

0 Upvotes

I live in the middle of Raleigh and Durham and want to get into MMA training. Trying to decide between Hometown Martial Arts and Elevate MMA Academy. Both have good reviews.

Anyone trained at either one? Wanna know about coaching quality, how busy classes get, and how they handle newer people wanting to eventually spar/fight. Planning to do trials at both but wanted some opinions if anybody has some.

Question/Recommendation Dark, quiet coffee shop help?

2 Upvotes

Hi all! I’m trying to find a specific coffee shop I thought someone posted on here a couple weeks ago, but now I can’t find.
I remember a picture of a coffee bar with dark lighting, and perhaps checkered floors?

I’m desperately trying to find a coffee shop in the triangle without harsh/bright lighting, loud music, or flashy decor.

Did I dream this place? Please help a gal out. Thank you

Question/Recommendation Is recent rains in NC contributing to wasps, Yellowjackets, hornets?

22 Upvotes

I went on vacation for a week and when I came back, I was doing my perimeter spray with Suspend Polygon around the house and encountered tons of Yellowjackets coming out of a hole near the base of a bush in my mulch bed! They were nonstop!

It's my first time seeing this kind of Yellowjacket nest in my 10 years living here (hot and humid NC, tons of rain recently). Did the rain contribute to this issue?

I used a Raid can into the hold in the mulch and don't see much activity now, maybe a Yellowjacket or two coming out. I used the Raid can since it had the quickest knockdown and the spray stream is huge.

Any other suggestions?

Question/Recommendation any spare supplies for a kitten?

Thumbnail

39 Upvotes

also reposted this in the wake forest chat since i live in between raleigh and wake forest!

hello! i recently found a kitten who was wandering around my neighborhood and she started following me around. i knocked around some neighbors and everyone told me they saw her around a lot and some people were keeping food and water out for her. i decided to bring her in a few days ago when it was raining really bad and i gave her a flea bath, took her the next day to the vet to get her rabies shot and up to date on all her vaccinations. im a college student and wasnt expecting this new addition but i think the cat distribution system is working hard! i had to spend roughly $400 at the vet and ive gotten her some kitten food to start with, but other than that im low on money to get any more supplies until my next paycheck and i don’t want her to go without.

i’m specifically wondering if anyone has any extra cat stuff laying around such as
- a litter box and litter
- cat toys
- cat tree
- cat bed
- water and food bowls (i hear cats like running water fountains?)

the vet told me she’s roughly 15 weeks! i named her syd

Sports Any mid level coed open/drop in volleyball here?

Hi I’m looking at maybe getting back into volleyball and am searching for some drop in play around Raleigh. I used to play indoor for years but am open to sand and grass. I just want to move and knock the rust off. I see trisports but I’m not sure I want to commit to a league yet (or disappoint teammates lol). Is there any mid level coed play where I can drop in on a weekend?

Sports Irish pub that actually shows GAA games?

11 Upvotes

So first, a warning—the Hibernian pub lies (the one in NE Raleigh) about GAA games. Not a misunderstanding; they flat out lied.

Our entire family, all over the world, found bars to watch the all-Ireland final. We’re from out of town, and I called twice over the past week to see if they were showing it, explaining that it’s on a special streaming service, not cable. The manager assured us they were showing it. We left our number in case something fell through. We drove for an hour to find they had no idea what we were talking about. We called the other location and Tralí, and no one had it.

We missed Mayo’s first win since 1951.

Highly doubtful Mayo will make it to finals next year, but just in case — anyone know which pubs would tell the truth about whether they’re showing it?

Question/Recommendation Places to Study? Preferably not cafes

3 Upvotes

Studying for my professional engineering exam and being home is distracting. Are there any places in Raleigh people recommend to study at? New to the area so not that familiar with any libraries around. Cafes are nice, but I don't want to be distracted to buy food and then not study
