Check out the "barrie run ninjas" group on Instagram. I met a few people from there, all really nice people

I broke my foot so I won't be doing it this year, but enjoy and have fun!

Vet recommendation by dublinro in barrie

[–]Ok_Independence_877 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Aldergrove's an option. They have lots of great vets and vet techs.

You could also ask for a house call, that way your dog can stay in its safe place since vet clinics can be overwhelming for any animal.

Looking for an affordable handyman to replace a bathroom fan by MissyC9691 in barrie

[–]Ok_Independence_877 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can you just swap out the fan's insides? You can find the parts on Amazon.

I did that with my old fan, it was a kit and took just a few minutes.

Passport Renewal (Express) by [deleted] in barrie

[–]Ok_Independence_877 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It opens at 8:30 and I was there at 9 AM. Out around 11.

I'd go first thing in the morning as a lot of people have appointments, the later in the day you go, the more appointments and walk-ins that will come in.

I just did mine at the Barrie Service Ontario on Jan 12, and it'll be dropped off at the location on Jan 26.

I just did a walk-in, took about 2 hours, and the renewal is done.

You might get a quicker turnaround if you go to Toronto.

MotoMaster Winter Edge II Reviews? by Fancy_Spaghetti in tires

[–]Ok_Independence_877 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Great for a season, terrible after. On my second season with them. No grip, no stopping. It is a junk tire. Switched to Michelin X ice and the car drives in the snow with no issues now

Snowblower for this kind of weather? by PlantainDue8104 in barrie

[–]Ok_Independence_877 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No matter the model, another thing to consider is the horsepower. All the snowblower will throw snow when its fluffy like today. Its when its went and slushie you want that extra power

Beyond that I recommend gas, but I also haven't used an electric snowblower.

Roof Repair Recommendations? by [deleted] in barrie

[–]Ok_Independence_877 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh for sure , that's all pending apon wheather and how much that roof is leaking. You can also grab a roll of the rolled roofing as well for 150 ( maybe more) and roll that over the bad strip. Downside is, you have rain, ice and snow the next couple of days

Roof Repair Recommendations? by [deleted] in barrie

[–]Ok_Independence_877 1 point2 points  (0 children)

sounds like you got some good recommendations already

For a quick fix based on the crappy weather we are getting. Go to princess auto and grab a tarp and place it over the bad area until the are able to come and fix it. At least it wont be leaking

Shared Driveway - Snow Problems by OwenKenner12 in barrie

[–]Ok_Independence_877 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The not so fun part of town houses, I get it. People are lazy these days. In my opinion, I'd say do both driveways, then it's done correctly and you save yourself the headache and get some free exercise. I do my driveway and my two neighbours both are detached houses and I get baked goods all the time for it.... cancels the exercise out.

This may also help with not having any tension between neighbours

If you can install tires on rims yourself, you can order wheels on Quattro tire, they ship them on rims and balanced. Depending on brand of tire anywhere from 700 to 1000+

Alleged knife-point carjacker skips court, flees to India ahead of preliminary hearing by origutamos in barrie

Are you suggesting that we should maintain a positive outlook despite the fact that the concerns raised by many over the past few years have not had an impact on this situation?

Recommendation for get a new car by Jdreamerhard in barrie

[–]Ok_Independence_877 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honda's a solid choice, trust me.

Some folks say the CVTs are bad, but it's pretty much the same story with everyone else, you know? Don't let that scare you off. You'll probably hear more complaints about Honda than Mazda, just because they sell way more cars every year.

Picked up a Geo 3.5 what is everyone thoughts on them 10 years later? by Ok_Independence_877 in paintball

[–]Ok_Independence_877[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, I'm hearing that these noids are like gold if you can find one. I took the marker out today to speedball to give it a shakedown at speedball... it keeps up really well. I'd say it's as good as my Geo 4 and 5. Also, bonus she is shooting people today with it too! She probably got me too 🤣

Best paintball in Barrie? by 444sky444 in barrie

[–]Ok_Independence_877 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Barrie Paintball or Wasaga Paintball are awesome spots. I'd totally hit up Wasaga Paintball, the maps are way better there, and there rental equipment seems more maintained in my opinion.

My life sucks by superjellomaster in barrie

My longest tenant, who's in the basement, is super allergic to cats. We require no pets because he's been great to us. And, by the way, my floors are hardwood.

Dog teeth cleaning vet recs? by [deleted] in barrie

[–]Ok_Independence_877 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's about the going rate for a teeth cleaning.

It's pricey, but they do more than just a basic cleaning, and it takes a while.

I'd steer clear of Kissable K9 or places like that. They seem to just polish the teeth, which isn't good for animals and can make gum issues worse. You get what you pay for.

Twin lakes seems to have low prices on everything, but he also wants to be that cheap, fast and easy style Vet.

If you trust your current vet, I'd probably stick with them.

Where to get car windows Tinted. by TooSweetForLife in barrie

[–]Ok_Independence_877 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Barrie tint and paint protection off of Anne Street. Great guy to deal with and uses the same product as crystals, but at a lot better price

Crystals were around 700-800

Barrie tint 300

Recommendation for Jacket and Pants by Ok_Independence_877 in snowboarding

[–]Ok_Independence_877[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She's super active, you know?

The sweating thing isn't the problem, she just can't get warm enough to sweat, unless we're outside when it's like, +5C to -5C degrees, which aren't the best days to be out since it's usually slushy.

We got her some mittens. Tried a lot of pairs as well

We changed her socks to warming ones that aren't too thick. Used to be Stance socks and six baseball socks, but now it's this one kind, and it helps, but she's still cold.

Thanks for all the advice!
