Modular Home Builders

Hello -

Wondering if anyone has any modular (not manufactured) home builders in the area they’ve worked with?

I know there is Carolina Custom & Yates but the timing isn’t ideal 7-10 months. If you have any others or feedback on those let me know! Especially if you priced out homes and one ended up being more expensive for what you get.

Kitten in dire need on Eno St between Jones and Allen Ruffin Ave

Yesterday around 7:30 pm I saw a grey tabby kitten in dire need on Eno St. If you are sensitive to animal suffering, don't read any further.

It is about 15 feet up a tree and is dying of starvation and dehydration -- all ribs, mouth ajar. It has also lost much of its tail. It's still responsive -- it moved towards me on a branch a few inches. It didn't vocalize, though, which is probably how it has gone unnoticed so long.

I am not from Hillsborough so I wasn't sure who to call. I tried Orange County Animal Rescue, but they are closed until Monday. Today, I tried Orange County Animal Control, but they can't go after animals in trees.

I am happy to pay for a private service to rescue the kitten -- if anyone could recommend a trusted local rescue service. If anyone plans to take an action on this and needs help coordinating, please message me. I'm happy to help in any way I can, from a distance. Either way, if someone does successfully assist the kitten, please message me.

Thank you everyone!

Martial Arts Class Recommendations?

Hello Triangle residents!

I'm looking for recommendations for a martial arts school that offers adult beginner classes. I have a few criteria, and am having difficulty finding clarity on some of these online, so I figured I'd ask the people. (EDIT: The intent here to have a structured environment to work on overall health while learning a discipline at the same time.) Most relevant info below:

  • I have zero experience
  • I'm in my mid-30's
  • I'm overweight and out of shape.
  • Mostly interested in BJJ and/or Aikido, but open to just about everything.
  • Interested primarily in courses (multi-session progression type stuff). I know myself and anything that is drop in/pay per session is something I will have difficulty sticking with. I'd love to find something where I can pay for a series of classes in one go. I don't know how common this is anymore.
  • Preferably Durham/Chapel Hill, as I live in Orange County.

Happy to answer any other questions - thank you in advance!

What happened here?

I live in Durham but was in Hillsborough today. We stopped at the Taco Bell on South Churton St and I noticed a taped off road right next to it. I was curious so I looked on Google Maps and see that there used to be an entire collection of shops, etc., behind the Taco Bell/south of the Food Lion. I see that it was there at least as recently as 2018 based on street view.

So what happened here? Was it bought out and demolished to make way for the new development a bit further east? Was there a fire or something? Please help a curious mind!

Spectrum Outage

Is everyone out? We’re off Miller Road. I’m away from the house but know it’s still out. Does anyone have some insight?

Lawn care

I’m looking for someone to mow our yard. We have a small yard near downtown Hillsborough. Would love to have someone who can come every 2-3 weeks.
