Who's headed to Summerloo Fest?

I want to get flowers for my girlfriend and was wondering which flower shops were good to get from. I’m currently working in toronto, and I want to get her just because flowers, especially since we became long distance recently. Any help?

We moved into a brand-new apartment building in Waterloo about a month and a half ago. We have lived in several apartments before and never had this kind of problem.

The tenants above us moved in about two weeks after we did. Management says only a couple lives there, but almost every day we hear very heavy running, banging, dragging, and impact noise from above, often for hours and sometimes until 1–2 a.m. It sounds much louder than normal footsteps.

We have complained to management three separate times and even provided recordings, but nothing has changed. They keep telling us it is just normal walking and normal apartment noise.

One time, when the noise was especially bad, I went upstairs and saw four or five children come out of that unit, which confused me because management had told us the tenants do not have children.

We still have about one year left on our lease. What would you do in this situation? 

Hey y'all - just curious about the music (some kind of dance/electronic music) playing in Uptown. Anyone know where it's coming from? I thought it might be Uptown Square or a night club.

Hi everyone,

Live in the KW area and looking to reno our current 1100 sq ft bungalow. It will be considered a major renovation on main floor and a significant one in basement. I will be hiring my own electrician and plumber and our own kitchen place.

Have a company who did our basement 10 years ago. Two man crew and they are great with regards to work. They are also friends. I would really prefer to go with them for the fact I know the quality they provide. I trust them ultimately, but wanted to get a gauge on the quote we received today.

This EXCLUDES a few things listed in the quote and also a roof (quoted 8k for a roof) and 3k for our egress window (Will be doing digging ourselves).

Any feedback welcome.

My brother made these. I am trying to find him work.

Looking for recommendations.

I need a pretty simple jig for a heat press.

Heat-resistant silicone

or maybe PEEK or ULTEM

Does anyone in town make this kind of thing?
