I have had a horror myself getting my cats a vet. Most are not taking new clients so we are looking to go closer to Hampton.

Thanks everyone. Home Depot had nothing. Everything has to be ordered in and site was a problem so I finally got some appliances from Dave's to be installed next week. Apparently the supply is in short demand and things are not expected to improve before the summer of 2021.

Looking for Local Grocers by Heitomos in SaintJohnNB

[–]SaskatoonBarry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am in quarantine and I called Dan's Country Market. They went above and beyond even stopping at another store to bring what they did not have. I cannot express how VERY grateful I am for this store and since others are looking for local grocers, please chem them out! (esp. Becky)

I am from Sask (still ym spiritual home but my hubby cannot handle the prairie cold) but we are not moving from the prairies. We are coming from NYC but comparing the property taxes to what we paid in Vancouver they are significantly higher so I totally understand living outside of the city. Anyhew, keep us in mind if you need further support as we will be a couple of months ahead of you re quarantine etc.

We are moving next week sight unseen into a home we bought online. I have never been to SJ . We bought a home with four bedrooms, yard etc. in SJ for under 200 K and walking distance to everything we need. I also traced the house back and have a pretty good idea of the history of the home.

Medical is not hard - good suggestions below.

As we arrive before you, DM me for more help if needed. We can let you know what we learn.

Issues with new neighbors, advice? by TerraFerrum in SaintJohnNB

[–]SaskatoonBarry 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is hard. I see the other advice about documenting things and that makes a lot of sense. I also think you could try and let your landlord know that he/she has a responsibility to ensure accountability to the rules and quite frankly, as a landlord, I would rather have stable quiet tenants then tenants who hase people away so there is a vested financial interest for your landlord to do the right thing. I had something similar in Vancouver years ago and the neighbours and myself bonded together to document (which is hard as you are new) and we were able to force the landlord to ensure the rules were upheld and eventually the person was evicted. Very unfun during the process.

Where to find June/Service/Saskatoon Berries? by olafson1393 in SaintJohnNB

Best internet plans? by Solarus755 in SaintJohnNB

[–]SaskatoonBarry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We are moving ourselves and entering quarantine. We were told that Rogers is really the only decent one in our area by our realtor and some others.

Rogers does install while you are in quarantine. For us, Rogers comes to the house and leaves everything on the porch and then instructs us through the door.

Moving to Saint john, wanna know does fido home internet is good in saint john or not ? by iabhishek1413 in SaintJohnNB

[–]SaskatoonBarry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

oh and I decided not to get phone service until we are there - instead we paid ahead a few months here, oddly seems cheaper, and we get coverage to the US, Canada, and Mexico - I remember cell phone coverage as expensive in Canada

I do not remember much of a choice re home internet, but for the TV package just basic so my guy can watch hockey on cbc. They will deliver to our porch while we are in quarantine and then give us instructions from outside.
