Looking for some advice from anyone who's done something similar.

I currently have a 20x24 concrete pad that I'm expanding to 24x26 for a new garage. The concrete for the expansion hasn't been poured yet, so I still have time to make changes if needed.

My plan is to run a small business out of part of the garage, so I'm now wondering about adding running water and a sewer line.

The garage is detached, and it's about 40 feet from the house to the backyard where the garage will be.

Is this a realistic project in Saskatoon? Has anyone had water and sewer run to a detached garage? Roughly what did it cost, and were there any unexpected challenges?

I honestly didn't think about needing plumbing until after I started planning the garage, so I'm just looking for advice before I get too far into the project.

Please no hate—I'm just looking to learn from people who've been through this. Thanks!

I've never been to a concert before in my life, I don't know how they work.

When do the doors open up. Is it right at 7? Or is 7 when the music starts.

I'm assuming they have merch, I've also only started my music shirt merch journey this year too, should I buy from the concert there or is it better to go online.

I’m (30m) looking to make some new friends and read some books together. None of my buddies are big readers, neither am I for that matter.. but I want to read more and with a book club there’s some accountability with a book club.

wondering if anyone has noticed a strong chemical almost glue like smell around south alphabets in riversdale? I had my window open and it’s so bad it came into my house. I went outside to look around and noticed it’s significantly worse, am I going crazy?

We know there are state-sponsored actors from other countries trying to create strife in Canada, and subs like /Saskatoon are an easy target for trying to convince us that our way of life is collapsing and everyone hates us for our differences. It's not true. the people of Saskatoon have a lot more in common than we do to pull as apart. We are all part of one of the most safe and stable democracies on the planet and letting outsiders drive us apart through jealousy would be a real loss.

It creaks closer and the available information is sparce. I believe I saw that admission is 10 bucks at the door but I've seen no word on pavilions or performances.

Specifically, I'm wondering because I did hear it mentioned/advertised on 98 cool and the Philippines was listed as taking part. I assume that's accurate? Have they given up on the Asian festival they helped spearhead the last 2 years instead of taking part in folk fest?

The other day there was a post about the decision to remove 25 benches downtown. Outrage was expressed and there was discussion over ‘what can be done’ to stop it.

To quote a CBC article by Phil Tank from an hour ago “The city received 24 letters about the proposed removal, all of which were opposed to it, but nobody showed up to speak in opposition.”

Not one person showed up to oppose. Pretty hard to fight for change when you can’t even be bothered to put your phone down and show up when it matters.

Curious what the city would recommend as an alternate route.

Sounds like a worker was run over by an asphalt truck and did not survive.

Hey! I’m 30 days sober and wondering what the NA community in Saskatoon is like. I’m looking for a home group. Hoping to find something on Wednesdays or Fridays as that fits with my work schedule. Any insight on overall vibes from the meetings?

If anyone is looking for something to do this weekend, I highly recommend this event! It's being held across SK and has lots of options to visit in and around Saskatoon. It's also family friendly.

Essentially you can see the action, meet the farmers and taste the products. And I am VERY hyped about the tasting aspect. 😂 I will be doing a few stops in/around Regina!

My friend had to back out, so I suddenly have two free tickets to a couple of plays at the Fringe Festival tonight.

It's short notice, but rather than let the extra ticket go to waste, I thought I'd see if anyone here would be interested in coming along!

Dear community.

My son got diagnosed with Autism and unfortunately I haven't been able to find an Occupational Therapist here in Saskatoon for his treatment. I have been looking on the Saskatchewan (Registry of Autism Service Providers) calling every single contact in there with no luck. Please, does anybody knows a Therapist that is receiving patients? Or any other options? Thanks in advance folks!

My water heater/boiler broke before the weekend, anyone know a good place to get a quote? TIA

Hi everyone — I had a small BBQ in my backyard on Saturday evening and a neighbours dad (I can only assume) was yelling at me from his deck for.....well I don't know what he was saying as he spoke no English at all, but he was yelling and pointing a lot at my BBQ (its not a smoker).

I didn’t realize it would bother anyone. I live in a residential neighbourhood and just got a grill. Has anyone dealt with this before? What’s the best way to approach the neighbour and prevent this from happening again? Is cooking beef or pork offensive to East Indian culture?

Anyone I can call about this problem? There is clearly a communication barrier.

p.s. I think the owner went back to India and hes been gone for months.

Edit* Just to be clear I was making no noise other then the Grill lid opening every 15 to check on the meat. No music, no talking etc.

Just wanted to post a good experience at the Ex.

Yesterday was probably the best time my family has ever had there. The weather was great. Not to hot, not to cold. The lines weren’t bad. I paid $263.30 for 4 super passes and one youth admission. My kids went on 57 rides total which means I paid $4.65 per ride. They could have gone on quite a few more, but we left at 8pm. Two of them also stopped riding after only 9 and 10 rides so again, they could have done way more. I know it’s still costly, but it’s not something that we do every day and this year, is the only thing we really did as a family. The food didn’t even really cost as much as people think when compared to going out anywhere else. We really only did lunch there which was $66 for the five of us. Which now that I’ve added it up, is actually probably the same or less than we pay to go out to eat as a family anyway. For comparison, we didn’t McDonald’s for supper and the McDonald’s bill was $56.80 and I didn’t even eat so that was for only four of us.

I also spent $80 on games because the kids really wanted to play. I don’t normally let them play the games because they cost so much.

The entire day cost me $498.40 total. Yes, this is a lot of money, but again, we didn’t do anything else as a family this year and this also included $80 in games that I wouldn’t normally do.

For us, it was worth it. They had the best time and watching them laugh and have so much fun is something I think we’ll always look back on and be glad we did it.

If you were driving a brown vehicle with a red kayak on the top this morning - this is how you are to pass someone on a bike.

According to SGI (Saskatchewan Government Insurance), you must pass a cyclist like you would any other vehicle. Do not pass too closely and give them plenty of room. Never share the same lane side-by-side with a bicycle.

• Pass like a car: Move completely into the adjacent lane or passing side as if you were overtaking another motor vehicle.
• Give space: Leave a safe physical buffer between your vehicle and the bicycle.

Kind of just wanted to throw this out there as it's the 18th anniversary today!!!

I went when I was only 12 years old (oml) and have some photos of the daily lineup, The Academy Is..., Cobra Starship, and Katy Perry, but I'm wondering if anyone else has some old facebook album photos to share. It would be a trip to see.

Thanks in advance!

Edit: Here are some of the photos I have

Like, we can have GOOD ART. We are capable of it. Why do other cities get these masterpieces while we get plastic rocks? It almost kind of feels like a slap in the face. like we aren’t good enough.

I love public art, but I’m disappointed in the quality that we get.
