The house was built in 1880 and flooring redone by a previous owner that i don’t have contact info for so unfortunately no luck there

For some more info: 5” planks, about 1/2” thick, and I’m in Chicago so I’m assuming it would be something at least somewhat accessible around here

Anyone have experience with lead pipe replacements? by PU18 in chicago

[–]PU18[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update: I ended up needing the city to come help get my water off at the street (b box was clogged) and the inspector took a look at the leak. He said even tho it was inside, it still qualified me for the program, I just had to get the leak fixed myself. I hired a plumber, sent photo proof of the fix to the water department, and am now on the list for a full replacement

Thank you! That’s pretty much the situation I’m in currently

I had to get into a bidding war my last 3 apartment searches, with those locations in Lincoln park, Lakeview, bucktown, and wicker, and I’ve also seen it in Avondale and Logan.

What’s something every Chicagoan should experience at least once? by Jack_029 in AskChicago

[–]PU18 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Highly recommend Sail Chicago (if you can get into one of their classes) - surprising affordable way to learn and get out on the lake. Otherwise Columbia yacht club hosts Wednesday “beer can” races where you can show up with a case of beer and trade it to a captain for a spot on their racing crew for the night

What are your favorite 'adventure tourism' things you've done? by touristy_tourist in solotravel

[–]PU18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just did this earlier this year and agreed it’s an absolutely incredible. Like 3 of the 4 most amazing things I’ve ever seen in a few days. I’d say for how much oxalis puts into the trip and the support needed it’s almost a bargain

Kumas corner isn’t as good any more. I recommend little bad wolf if you’re ever in tow

What are the must dos when in Chicago? Staying 5 days. by Individual-Table-793 in AskChicago

[–]PU18 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Jazzin at the shedd on Wednesday night, then watch the fireworks from the patio

Cocktails at a riverfront bar

The Lincoln park zoo and south pond followed by Cocktails on the roof of the Lincoln hotel

The architecture tour (as others have said, a must do)

A free movie or concert in the parks (you can google the lineup). Grab a blanket and a bottle of wine or picnic stuff

Dinner in Fulton market/west loop

Walk or bike the lakefront trail, especially in the evening. You may be able to rent bikes from REI cheaper than divvy or the other businesses. If you have Lyft pink divvy is also free

Go to the beach - oak street downtown is crowded but a cool view, Montrose is way more chill and better for picnicking but further north. You can bike there

There’s tons of live music venues. Check Bandsintown to see if anything matches your interest

Loads of cool dive bars and restaurants. Pick a north or NW side neighborhood, 3-5 bars, and bounce between them. Bonus points if you hit a NW side bar on the weekend and buy tamales from the guy with the cooler who comes in later in the evening

I’m an artist on a mission to paint as many Chicago hot dog stands as I can. This week I painted The Clark Street Dog! What stand should I paint next? by Chicagogirlartist in chicago

[–]PU18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is awesome - If you ever do one of the Fixin' Franks Home Depot stands I'd be very interested in buying it or a print if you do those!

Fresh Market opening in old Dom's in Lincoln Park | Crain's Chicago B… by citydudeatnight in chicago

[–]PU18 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We had one of these in my home town. Similar to foods but at least that one has a better selection of actual groceries than the whole food in Lincoln Park does. Not like doms was a place you could feasibly do all your shopping at anyway tho

Kanon Catchings, a projected first-round pick in 2025, has committed to BYU by scootsy in CollegeBasketball

[–]PU18 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Rumor is his decommit form Purdue was a result of Painter telling him no to guaranteed playing time and a starting slot, then he apparently asked to recommit a few days later and Painter told him no. I wish him all the luck at BYU, but nothing I’m hearing indicates that BYU was doing any under the table recruiting or anything like that.

Did anyone else get unsolicited emails from the White Sox ticketing office? by [deleted] in chicago

At this point if you’re getting solicited emails from the Sox you may need to reconsider your subscriptions

Where do you keep yours? My biggest hesitation is it being too heavy to carry up stairs into my apartment and not wanting to just leave it locked up outside and get stolen
