Hey guys, quick question. Need a plumber for some minor stuff, but the couple of local guys I tried either didn't answer or ghosted. Anyone decent you actually use?
For anyone in Wake County who hasn’t seen this yet, the county is asking for feedback about what should happen after the South Wake Landfill reaches capacity, including whether Wake County should build a new landfill.
They’re gathering feedback through August 31, so figured I’d share before it ends! Here’s the virtual room: https://gather.cdmsmith.com/v/KNj9ZVa4qxB
Does anyone have any good recommendation that won’t cost me my annual salary? My toiled bowl appears to have some sort of leak as it will begin to run about ten minutes after a flush. Then last night, my toilet began gurgling water as the washing machine went to spin and drain mode. A quick google search suggested blockage or vent restriction.
We are relocating from Tennessee and are having trouble finding a place for my mom to rent.
Looking for a one bedroom apartment or small house for elderly mom. Anyone know of anything for rent in any of the surrounding areas?
She is on a fixed income so she is limited to 1k per month. The issue we are running into is that most of the big complexes are requiring 3x the rent and she won’t qualify with her income. She pays rent on time, been in the same place for the last 6 years no issues with paying rent.
Any help is greatly appreciated
Free PS4 Pro + games, and a separate stack of Xbox One games — Fuquay only
No catch, no money, not a trade. This stuff has been collecting dust and I'd rather it end up in a living room where it gets played. **Two separate lots, two separate winners** — pick whichever one you can actually use.

How this works: I'm not asking anyone to explain their situation or compete over who has it worse. If money's tight and this would mean something to your household, just comment "PS4" or "Xbox" below — whichever you can use. I'll draw one name for each lot Sunday night and DM you to set up a handoff somewhere public here in Fuquay.
Comment for the one you'd actually play. If you're doing fine and just want free stuff, please sit this one out.
Happy to answer questions in the comments.
My wife says I need more friends, so I’m here to find some. Other interests of mine include video games, gardening, culinary things, a24 movies, dungeons and dragons and the titanic. Hit me up if you or someone you know have similar interests.
Hey all, looking to play some music with people who might not be the best musicians, but are willing to learn and practice and have fun! Looking to meet maybe once every 2 weeks-ish. I play (poorly but here we go) guitar, bass, and am working on drums.
Looking to play the general genre of indie rock, and just getting a pulse. If you have practice space, that’s a plus! 😂 otherwise we can figure something out.
One of those jobs that makes all the stress of building a business worth it
I’m still working full-time while trying to build my junk removal business on the side, and honestly, I’m learning everything as I go.
Sales, marketing, answering messages, quoting jobs, scheduling, doing the actual work, keeping customers happy…all of it.
Last week, I scheduled an estimate while I was on break at Amazon. After my shift, I met Roderick at his property and walked everything with him. We talked about what he wanted to accomplish, what needed to be removed, and how I could help him get the property back under control.
I sent him a quote for $475 based on the amount of stuff, plus the extra labor because it was spread out all over the property. He accepted it, and Sunday morning worked best for him, so that’s when we scheduled it.
The job took around three hours. Some of the trash was buried in tall grass and weeds, so I brought a weed eater just to knock everything down enough to get to it and make sure I wasn’t leaving anything behind.
After I finished, Roderick walked the property with me and was genuinely excited about finally being able to start fresh again.
He paid the $475 with no problem, tipped me another $50, and left me a five-star review.
So, $525 for a Sunday morning of work.
I know that’s not some crazy “quit your job overnight” number, but it felt like a big win to me. I booked the estimate during my break, met him after working a full shift, quoted the job correctly, completed it, and left the customer happy.
Trying to build something while working a regular job can be exhausting. Some days it feels like you’re working two full-time jobs and still wondering if it’s ever going to turn into something.
Then you have a day like this, and it reminds you why you started.
