Looking for an apartment or private room options

4 Upvotes

I’m a first year student going into Durham Collage, I was supposed to be guaranteed a spot in residence, but the email never got to me and I missed to due date. I am now trying to look for other options. I have looked on DC website for housing options, Facebook marketplace, kijiji, and just generally searching it up. The problem is, I’ve message 18 people about their advertisement and only 3 have got back to me. The first one didn’t advertise whether they wanted a specific gender so I had asked and they said no because I was a girl. Second one didn’t make any sense, their communication wasn’t clear, and hasn’t answered. The third left me on read after asking a second question. Before I had messaged all these people, I did have a housing situation planned with someone, but they canceled on me and told me they wouldn’t be renting out the room to anyone anymore.

TL/DR: I need housing options with people who will answer my questions and get back to me. Maximum of $800/month and any lease will do

School’s starting - what extra supplies could I contribute to our teacher?

14 Upvotes

I know teachers spend a lot of their own money/time getting supplies for their classes.

I’d like to put together a basket of items kids would use up through the year.

Any teachers/parents who can recommend items for JK/SrK class? Or even things a teacher would find useful for themself?

(I know gift cards are good too but that’s a gift that comes with an errand.)

Would you drive Oshawa to Quebec City in one day or break up the journey?

15 Upvotes

Pretty much what the title says.

We live in Oshawa and are going to Quebec City Nov 7-10. I wanted to drive on the 7th, spend 8th and 9th there, and drive back on the 10th but my wife thinks it will be too much of a drive, especially with our 4 year-old child.

So she wants to break the journey and stay the night in Montreal on the way there, and another place on the way back, extending the trip to the 11th.

It doesn't look too daunting tbh, 7.5 hours + maybe another hour or 2 with stops but still only 9-10 hours of travel time. I would much rather do it in one go.

Space to launch small low powered model rockets?

3 Upvotes

Would anyone know of an area where my son and I could launch some small model rockets? Community resources in my area have been somewhat useless. I’m further out east so locations out past the 115 are fine. Thanks!

Fence post repair recommendations

2 Upvotes

Anyone know any good fence post repair companies? I think I need to replace 4-6 wood fence posts in my backyard as the fence is starting to lean. They are totally rotted out at the bottom so a simple repair doesn’t look like it will be enough. Also how much should I be looking to have to pay for this kind on thing?
