Hi, I am helping clean out a family member’s home in Mac and would love referrals on a few things (grew up in the area but out of state now):

-Place to donate food/food pantry
-Someone to remove carpets
-Junk removal/haul to the dump
-Rehoming some cats - someone is helping with this and says the shelters are full
-Subaru to sell
-Self storage (any locally owned that don’t raise rates a ton?)

Feel free to DM if you may be able to help and your rates.

Thank you!

Hi, wasn’t sure how to title this but I have been struggling for too long trying to get my home repairs and updated so I can get roommates to help pay my bills. There seems to be one set back after another, electrical work not completed and unable to get them to return. Leaky pex pipe repaired and sprung another leak. May or may not be completely repaired. Kitchen fire related to electrical need to replace cabinets and counter. I have had 3 different companies come and work on the yard. I have paid about 2500 dollars to get it to a point when I could care for it. I am just getting well enough to begin this process. The electrical problem is due to several things skipped in wiring such as a light switch and exterior light. The main box is confusing in that the two dedicated to the range are not actually the range. Near the one the one next to it is attached but for electrical outlets. When I flipped the breaker I noticed this. The range hood was on the same circuit as the dishwasher. There is another secondary box in garage. For some reason it will cause things to not turn on. This box also has two breakers in the main box that are attached together. One of them is for the range. I have been without a kitchen for a long time. I have done some work myself but the electrical work is far beyond my skill set. I would like to have a qualified electrician come and tell me exactly what it is going to take to repair this correctly and for how much. I also need to make sure the leak is repaired correctly and then need someone to look at the floor to see the extent of damage and give me a price for that to be repaired. The blackberries are between my and my neighbors who have chickens and I am not sure what can be done that will permanently rid there of the blackberries. I also have some painting to get done. If anyone has any advice for me or leads or can help please message me. I am in amity. Rotted floor due to said leak and putting out the fire. I am actually in Amity. Thanks

I waited until the UFO Festival tickets sold out because apparently I like my alien encounters with a side of poor planning. Does anyone have any ideas where to find a weekend pass?

Hey everyone, I have accepted a position and will be moving out to mcminnville in a few months. How is the nightlife and are there any shady areas that i should be worried about? Also if there are any apartment recommendations that would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much.

Trying to attend the mcminnville ufo festival in Salem. If anyone is trying to get rid of a ticket I'd love to purchase it 🙏 👽 Thank you

Looking forward to seeing all my extraterrestrial friends. And hanging out downtown.

Don’t know where to start but here is my first shot

Hi There :)

Looking for a room to rent in the McMinnville area starting sometime around June. Budget is ideally around $700–$1000 depending on the spot.

I am in my mid 20s, usually either working (in the wine industry) or hiking. Quiet, respectful, clean, and easy to live with. Non-smoker and financially.

Furnished is a plus but not required. Open to month-to-month, sublease situations, or longer-term depending on fit.

If you know of anything available or have questions feel free to message me. Thanks!

I posted here a few months ago asking for insight on the birthing center at Willamette Valley Hospital. I was really thankful for all anecdotes, positive and negative, while I decided whether or not to have my baby in Newberg or Portland instead.

I ultimately decided to give the birthing center a shot after hearing about the effort being made to bring it back to life... And I'm really glad I did. Our baby was born a little over a week ago and we had an incredible experience. I can't say enough about the nurses that cared for us over the 3 days we were there. They were thoughtful, attentive, funny, and shepherded me through the unexpected need for a C-Section. One nurse even made the decision to take an extra shift on what should have been her day off to finish seeing me through my labor. They were welcoming to our doula and to all the visitors that wanted to come around post partum. We felt cared for and celebrated at every turn. They even sent us home with a lasagna!

If you're pregnant, know that it's once again an option. Birth classes are back (my husband and I did them in the weeks before we were due) and it was heartwarming to meet other local mamas-to-be.
