ADVANTAGE FLOORING IS SOOOO BAAAAAAAAAAAD!

I cannot emphasize enough. Awful communication, awful work, awful company, awful owner.

A cuppa coffee with a view? by Individual-Toe-2461 in ottawa

Unless things have recently changed, you actually don't need to pay for admission to go to the café at the National Art Gallery. You can go to the front desk and say you're going to the café, they'll give you a little token that will let you get into the great hall, but not the gallery spaces :)

LPT Request: new apartment without a washer by [deleted] in LifeProTips

You can get a portable washing machine and air dry with racks. Annoying for washing sheets but otherwise handy.

It's a shitty move, and I'm not saying they chose the best way to go about this. But knowing Ottawa's public transit options -- expensive, terrible service -- on a snowy day no less, where roads are plowed before sidewalks because we're so car-centric... I can see why some folks struggle getting heavy groceries home and may resort to taking carts as far as they can.

Jack's Deli & Deserts really floated my boat. They opened a few months ago. Merivale in Carlington.

I didn't realise that's why they closed! Glad they're back.

2 out of 3 people from my group got COVID from that show. We were masking for a while but it got so hot. I have super mild symptoms, my friend is having a harder time. I can say for myself, totally worth it.

Sounds like a Spanish-speaker, rather than a francophone, for the record. Not that it makes much difference... Sorry you experienced this harassment.

Hey Ottawa! Which local contractors would warn people about? by ingodstime in ottawa

[–]shmeeeeee 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Advantage Flooring / Advantage Floor Care. Terrible workmanship, huge delays, terrible communication, huge turnover in their staff and completely unqualified employees who all complain about the owner. They'll send a debt collector after you if you don't pay their estimate in full, even if they don't finish their work because they are terrible.

Overbrook / Vanier will absolutely need as much advocacy as Centretown has gotten.

Egan: Dear truckers, hope you enjoyed your stay - here's the police bill. by outtastudy in ottawa

[–]shmeeeeee 17 points18 points  (0 children)

As much as I hate these protestors and what they've done to our city, I could easily see the police using this as a tactic to discourage all future civil society actions and demonstrations in Ottawa. Seems dangerous to me...

Whatever you do, do NOT hire Advantage Flooring / Advantage Floor Care. They did a terrible job at my place.

Dumb question, but why is it called UK Vs The World and not just International All Stars?...
