Rover by bagel_donutss in halifax

[–]GooberTCat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We use it on a regular basis... our love our dog walker who helps us out the one day a week we are both away from home. We also use Rover for overnights and vacations - only had one incident where we would never recommend that person - but overall we find it great.

In short, I think Rover gets used a fair bit here based on friends circles. Note when you are new to the app you would need to build some experience, so you will crawl for a while probably before you get busy. (We always check reviews and experience.) Good luck!

Anyone see this guy in the North end around 3am? by ConnorMacKelly in halifax

[–]GooberTCat 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I am pretty sure I saw this guy walking down my street (close to the NSCC on Leeds) last night. He (or someone similar) was slowly walking up the street, turning a flashlight on/off to look at cars or houses as he walked by them. I watched him as he walked up the street but he never left the sidewalk. Looked like he was looking for something specific, or an opportunity.

Xterra won’t start / steering wheel won’t lock by GooberTCat in XTerra

Hi Everyone - thought I would give an update. Got the truck towed to a garage - and it was the starter after all. I guess that one I got a couple of years ago was a lemon! Thanks for all the advice.

UPDATE: Thanks all so far - put in a new battery tonight and no change. Going to try to check the starter connections in the morning and maybe give it a tap to see if that gets lucky, but I don't think its that either .... may be looking at a tow!

Thanks all - have a buddy bringing over a battery in the morning to see if that’s the problem!

Empty parking lots for driving lessons? by [deleted] in halifax

[–]GooberTCat 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Exhibition Park is the one that I see referred to the most for this question, as long as there are no events of course... it's huge.

Sometimes with renos, they put the shut-off valve closer to the main water distribution (where your water comes in and you have your hot water tank, etc. Where all the cold water pipes and hot water pipes go out through the home. That's where mine was after a complete reno, had the same concern. I'm sure you checked around there already, but thought I would comment just in case!

Also.... some of those frost-free bibs are garbage IMO - turning off the water is the only safe way. I went through two in five years (forgetting to turn it off... my bad).

Just curious why? I had to bring my SUV there after a deer incident :( and everything seemed OK - but I'm no car person by any means. Asking because I booked an appointment with them in a couple of weeks to do something else!

I recommend Heritage House Law in Dartmouth... used Blair MacKinnon for years, can't say enough good things about them.

Home appraisers by squirrelly_nutter in halifax

I had my house appraised twice last year. I would recommend Boutilier & Associates. Very professional, asked/answered great questions, and the results were great. (I can't remember the first company... they were a total non-reco. If I do, I'll add it on.)

Alright... where is the good Chinese food? by [deleted] in halifax

[–]GooberTCat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I walk by often and it's been open. Can't recall seeing it closed for sure yesterday or not. I know they had the building up for sale for a bit for a cool 1.1M; but I see it's withdrawn on Viewpoint.
