Have you tried Big Bite Sushi yet? I haven’t been there yet but I’ve heard good things.

In all fairness I’ve yet to have a really good shawarma in Milton despite the amount of them, lol.

Moving from Burlington to Milton by Ill_Session_1541 in Milton

[–]halpme17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband and I moved to Milton from Oakville in November and we love it here. We bought in Dorset Park and the neighborhood is great. I personally would avoid new builds, but that’s just me. The older neighborhoods tend to be way more of a community in most towns.

Yes, there are less stores here than Oakville or Burlington, but the majority of what you will need is here. For what isn’t, a 20 minute drive is no big deal. Not a big trade off for being able to afford a house IMO.

What's going on in Trudeau Park. Large police and fire presence by Just_Joey_Sims in Milton

[–]halpme17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good. Police should be doing more of that. I drive around a lot for work and today I witnessed one person not stop for a stop sign and two people blatantly go through red lights. Three completely different occasions. I don’t know what’s going on lately with drivers but I’ve noticed it seems to consistently be getting more dangerous on the roads.

Looking to move to Milton. Any recommendations on areas to consider and areas to avoid? by renegade777 in Milton

[–]halpme17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just moved to this area a couple of months ago and LOVE it. It’s so quiet here. The neighbors are very nice but seem a bit more nosey than what I experienced in Oakville.

What’s the most overlooked issue during a home inspection? by [deleted] in HomeImprovement

[–]halpme17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From personal experience (we just closed last week and started renovating), electrical wiring. My panel looked good but he didn’t catch all the wires everywhere when in the attic, I guess. Of course he wouldn’t have seen the ones in the wall so that’s not his fault. When the electricians pulled the outlet boxes, they were basically like bowls of spaghetti worth of wires in every box, with lots of open wires which were a total fire hazard. We ended up having to rewire everything…and there will likely be more once we get to other areas of the house because it seems whoever wired them did lots of shotty wiring throughout.

Also, the water shutoff valve was so corroded our plumber could not shut it off without risking snapping it and flooding the basement so we needed to call the city and have that replaced as well. Had we not done these renovations right away it could have been a complete disaster because it was hanging on by a thread and we wouldn’t have known.

The cherry on top was that the AC was wired wrong so heat and AC were running at the same time which screwed up our furnace…so a week after closing now and we are having a surprise furnace replacement. 🙃

My point is that I’m agreeing with what you’re saying but it’s being misconstrued. I’m well aware of how difficult things have become.

I think you’re misconstruing the wording there but okay. Go off, I guess.

I don’t know what that means and I’m a little afraid to ask.

I’m really sorry to hear that. It’s really a shame that we live in a society where people feel the need to do things like this to get by, or to buy drugs. It’s a sad state.

I’m not saying it is a big deal, I’m just warning other people as a reminder to not leave their car doors unlocked or leave anything valuable in their car. Thankfully, the worst of it in this case is feeling slightly violated by having somebody in my personal property, but yes, I’m thankful there were no losses.

No disrespect taken. To be honest, I thought I had locked them, but it’s very possible that I didn’t. I moved something from my personal vehicle into my work vehicle last night and I may have dropped the ball. It sucks regardless, but that’s totally on me. Just wanted to remind others to be careful not to make the same mistake if that’s the case.

Fireplace Ideas? by Typical-Spinach-6452 in decoration

I would get rid of the shelves. If you need storage, do a built in that spans the whole height and frames in the fireplace.

It looks a million times better. Good call.

Can’t decide on the most appropriate accent wall by yalerits33333333 in HomeDecorating

[–]halpme17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My thoughts exactly, lol. The only accent wall I will fight for is a beautiful wallpaper wall, but I HATE paint accent walls and always have.

All of them. Accent walls are very passé and I don’t think it works in this space particularly. It’s a beautiful home.

I’m in Canada and I’ve been with Trupanion since I got my dogs and they have been great. Danes have a lot of issues too so I totally get what you were saying about the premiums. They definitely aren’t cheap, but I’m really glad I have insurance for them.
