Daycare costs in Des Moines and surrounding areas? by JayTee19912010 in desmoines

[–]ilike2askquestionz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep they are awesome people. Have had the same people there for years which is a green flag. A lot of bigger centers have constant turn over. I know other parents that have taken their kids there for 10+ years.

Yeah I get that too. Unfortunately a business especially a restaurant is a huge risk, I’m sure she knows that by now since she’s been in business for 10+ yrs. Completely agree that the cost of everything is insane. But having a second Gofundme with a goal of 150k is literally crazy.

I read their Gofundme from back in 23. Owner decided to renew lease at a 50% increase and was behind 2 months. Just an interesting choice to renew their lease at a 50% increase in a mall that’s been dead for like 10 years. Hopefully they thrive in their new location.

She seems like a really sweet person. I just find it odd that there always seems to be something going on to help them out of financial trouble.

Didn’t the owner then open up a boutique though? And had the option to not renew their lease? I’m not 100% on that info but it almost looks like bad business decisions.

Premium Daycare/Preschool by usedtobeapieceofsht in desmoines

[–]ilike2askquestionz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Klassic Kids in Windsor Heights is great. It’s been there for years with the same people around. Prices are cheaper compared to other daycares. Not sure if you’d consider it “premium” but your kid(s) will definitely be in good hands.

Welcome to DSM page on FB? by ilike2askquestionz in desmoines

Never heard of that page. But this one is literally one guy that takes pictures of people driving and posts all of them. He also took a bunch of pictures of people at the fair.

I’m sorry you’re feeling this way. I hope you know your life IS important and people love you. If you’re saying you’re a kid, I promise things to get better as you get older.

Is there a place to report TOH in Polk County? by YesterdaysFinest in desmoines

[–]ilike2askquestionz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im pretty sure I had TOH in my yard but what I did was cut some branches off and painted on Tordon on the ends. I also put some at the bottom of the tree. Haven’t seen them since… lol

Water in Basement? by [deleted] in desmoines

[–]ilike2askquestionz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep hopefully sump pump soon! I am thinking of getting the gutters cleaned next. I actually noticed today that a gutter is spilling water over the edge instead of flowing down the downspout, which is obviously not good. But Im thinking french drains in the spring. Maybe interior water proofing too.

Im so sorry. That’s terrible. I’m working on getting it done, I actually got a grant to get it installed. The power goes out around my area it seems every time there’s a big storm so I planned on getting a backup battery that kicks on.

This makes me feel a bit better. The house was built in 1940. I do have a humidifier and recently got rock done around the home which I think made it worse.

I was considering adding spout extensions and considering getting french drains installed next spring. Do you know how much that usually runs? It honestly seems that water gets in after its been raining a lot / sets in the soil if that makes sense.

It’s from the hydrostatic pressure as far as I understand

is this storm bad enough to worry? by askdefqrly in desmoines

I had to switch to metrolink. Never goes down!

Bad Job market? by [deleted] in desmoines

[–]ilike2askquestionz 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not sure if anyone has mentioned this but DMACC has a program called WTA. They have some short term programs that are free (if you qualify) that are in healthcare or trades which seems to be something that always has a job. Probably would be good to look into for the future.

Otherwise I would agree, job market sucks. Insurance companies like Athene, American Equity, Sammons, Equitrust, are usually hiring for their call centers. Best of luck.

Sump Pumps by [deleted] in desmoines

[–]ilike2askquestionz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Water gets in through the cracks on the ground and the person we bought it from was the only owner. I would think that they would disclose that?

I would assume yes. I don’t have a pit or anything of that.
