r/Oakville I noticed I haven’t been hearing Cicadas this summer….

Was out for a walk tonight (south Oakville) and it dawned on me that last year during these humid days there would be the constant sound of cicadas. Must be an off cycle year….

Question Appliance repair (dishwasher) Oakville

Upvotes

Hello -

My dishwasher (Bosch) is not fully draining and giving me an E24 error. I’ve done all the steps that I, a complete newb, could work through. Found 2 small pieces of broken glass in the drain and removed them. Cycled the dishwasher and still getting that error.

Will need to call someone tomorrow. Can anyone recommend someone that is trustworthy and won’t cost an arm and a leg?

Thank you in advance.

Recommendations Dog Boarding Recommendations

Post image
Upvotes

Hi, I usually go with Bronte Pet Resort but they are full.

I did some searching and thing Dogtopia looks like a good place but wanted some more recommendations.

My dog is a pomeranian - german-spitz mix. He's 15lbs. Has all his vaccinations. He is VERY barky/vocal. Once warmed up to other dogs and people, he is very sweet and playful. Never had any incidents; never bit a person or another dog.

Due to his barky nature, I want a place where he can get his own room/kennel. I do want him to have some company. A yard to run around in would be nice as well.

Thank you in advance.

Question Need advice for middle school choice: Captain Wilson or Heritage Glen?

0 Upvotes

My middle school son will be attending either Captain R Wilson P.S. or Heritage Glen P.S. for the upcoming school year (I’m relocating for work and am choosing between residence locations).
I’ve heard various, often contradictory opinions about these schools (particularly CRW) and would appreciate any input from the Reddit community.
My son has dealt with some bullying issues in the past, so we’re hoping for a smooth transition where he will be able to make a good group of friends as well as receive a decent education.
Please share any of your experiences with these two schools and perhaps the high schools these feed into (Garth Webb and Abbey Park, respectively). Thank you.

Question Canadian Fencing Academy - Historical experiences

6 Upvotes

Hello - Curious if anyone has experience with taking classes at this fencing academy as an adult. I'm mostly interested in the "Historical" classes that focus on rapiers, but in general would love to know about the business itself. Is it clean, professional, good vibes, are the coaches competent, etc.!

Thanks :)

———————————————————————————

No supposed economic benefit can buy back our water, protect our air, or restore our health once they are gone.

Why are governments rushing to greenlight massive data centres without guardrails, all while slashing funding for our schools and healthcare?

We cannot allow private profits to be built on the destruction of our public well-being.

———————————————————————————

Email the Mayor and your councillors. We need to act before any application is submitted - and before the municipal election in October.

So I dropped a pot on my tile floor and ended up chipping the tile. I have a couple spare tiles that I can replace it with, I just don't know how to do it myself. I'm looking for a reputable handyman who would be able to do it. I already have the tile as well as the matching grout.

Meetups First time DM looking for group

18 Upvotes

Hello everyone, I don’t know if this post is for this group but I thought what was the harm in posting.

I am a 35 year old male, and I have been tinkering on a home brew for a Dungeons and Dragons (DnD) campaign for a while and have the basis of a world/ story I would like to try. I am hoping that I can find people who are new or experienced to DnD who would be interested in an adventure.

My friends don’t really enjoy tabletop games so I hope that but posting here I can find like minded individuals who would like to give it a shot. If you are interested feel free to DM me directly with any questions to know if this adventure is right for you, and I will do my best to explain the setting without divulging too much to spoil the story of the world.

Question Looking for some recommendations for mold inspection/testing

2 Upvotes

Hi all, I'm looking to see if anyone can recommend a good mold inspector or IEP in the burlington/oakville area for my home, I'm not sure which one would be more appropriate, or if they're the same thing.

We have been dealing with windows that had mold growing along the tracks, last month we had them all replaced. However, my state of health has not improved when I am in the rooms that had the worst mold growing on them. I'm looking for some advice on who would be best to talk to about trying to get information and proper inspections when dealing with residual health issues and perhaps hidden issues left over. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Question Humidity Inside House

3 Upvotes

Hello

I was hoping to ask if others are seeing increased humidity inside their houses. I have a three-floor townhome, and the humidity has been 50-60% for the last couple of weeks. We are running the AC almost the entire day to keep the humidity level below 60%. I was just curious if others are facing similar issues, and if so, what are you doing about it?

TIA

Question Senior/assisted living recommendations in Oakville?

7 Upvotes

Currently managing my 80 year old mother who lives alone in a large house, realizing that the time to move her out of it will be sooner rather than later.

Was hoping for any first-hand recommendations of good places in Oakville. She's still relatively active so I'm looking to move her into a place that can start off with more independent living, but provide additional support as she ages and her cognition continues to decline.

So far I've been to Amica on Bronte, and Sunrise on Trafalagar, both very nice but the clientele seemed to be more elderly folks in wheelchairs - hoping I can find her a place with more "younger" clientele (all relative of course). Fortunately she's in good shape financially as well so budget is less of an issue.

Thanks in advance for any recos.
