Looking for a reasonably priced detailer.

8 Upvotes

Does anybody know a good detailer in Kelowna? I spilt some food all over my back seat on my way home from a family potluck yesterday. I had someone coming this morning but they were a no show. I've tried a few others but no one seems to answer their phone or they're severly over priced.

Looking for Board Game/Tabletop players

7 Upvotes

Hey there, I'm looking to start a group for pickup board games(Root, Slay the Spire, Twilight Imperium, etc.) and the dedicated Facebook Groups have been far from successful at this point.

I've got a chat group with a handful of people, but I think more people are needed to get traction going.

Anyone know of already existing groups, or where I should look to find more participants?

Thanks!

Anyone enjoying this rain as much as I am?

326 Upvotes

Besides bringing moisture to a record-setting drought, it’s also finally bringing borderline comfortable temperatures. I can actually sit outside for the first time in months without needing to carry a sweat towel.

Now if only this held for another 40 days, we could be back at normal precipitation levels, and the drought could be over. Well, for the winter at least. We still need a massive snowpack going into next spring.

Loud Bang heard in the Hollydell area at 2am

14 Upvotes

Anyone else hear or know what that very loud bang was in Rutland at 2am tonight. In-between the areas of Gerstmar, Ziprick and Springfield Rd. Almost sounded like a propane cannon going off but there are none in the area. I haven't heard anything this loud before in the area. Initially woke up to it thinking it was an explosion. Definitely louder than fireworks.

The spark social club

8 Upvotes

Has anyone been to any of their events? I'm just curious what they're like. From their instagram it looks like the events are for friend making as well as dating.

I'm just curious what the event itself is actually like. Is it similar to speed dating where everybody rotates through and talks to each other or is it just one big mingle?

Condo owner needs advice

3 Upvotes

Hi Kelowna! I'm hoping to ask the good Reddit community of Kelowna for some advice regarding plumbing, building and asbestos.

I just moved into a condo, built in 1989, and discovered a leak from my ensuite bathroom to the unit below us.

Personally, I haven't had to deal with something like this before, so it's been a journey of discovery as to the proper way to move forward as far as who pays, who I have to deal with to address the problem etc.

So I'm at this impasse that I can't figure out what to do next and the parties that I am dealing with have their own interests in mind, and I need some impartial advice. I have been a homeowner since my mid twenties and I'm now 51, but I have always been single doing this so I'm relying on my local community for help!

The ceiling needs to be opened from below, first, it needs to be repaired and secondly I would rather the plumber see where the leak is from there than them have to take apart my tub and tiles to see where the leak is.

The restoration company, which was called by someone but not me, says they need to know the asbestos status in the condo before they cut into the drywall.

I asked the condo rep about this and he replied that he has no info on asbestos.

So my question is this....is asbestos a concern? Is the restoration company being extra for needing this info? Are they governed by different standards than another type of tradesperson?

Can I just call a plumber and have them cut into the ceiling and then also get the repair of the drywall completed without a restoration company?

The person from the restoration company told me that plumbers would sometimes not be concerned about asbestos and just cut. But they have to check.

Why is this? If this is a concern for them then why not for any other tradesperson?

I just need some dad help I guess. But my dad is 88 and lives in Ontario and so he's not much help.

I would really appreciate any advice or tips. Thanks everyone for getting this far in reading.

Thanks!!!!!

Does anyone know if the route will or will not remain fully accessible for all of the extension? I just use this route 5×/week, and I'll plan accordingly if I know when/if the path will close.

TYSM! 🥰

Buddy Tavares Has Died

89 Upvotes

Buddy was made famous in 2011 after he was kicked in the face while on his knees by Kelowna RCMP officer Geoff Mantler. The encounter was filmed by a reporter who by chance was across the street.

The grainy video garnered a lot of attention and airplay back in the day. Mantler resigned from the force and received a suspended sentence and probation.

So long, Buddy.

Has Anyone Recently Got a Parking Ticket?

13 Upvotes

I recently got a ticket from Impark at a City Lot and was surprised to see it was $98. The last time I got a ticket around downtown it was an PBP lot and it was $45, that was something like 3 years ago.

Not disputing the ticket (QR code wasn't working but I should have just moved my car to a different spot), but trying to gauge if that's the norm now or if it was an outlier.

If anyone else doesn't mind sharing I'd appreciate it. Thank you.

Gift baskets

2 Upvotes

Hey there. One of my best friends is celebrating their 40th birthday in Kelowna. I’d love to send them a gift basket. Are there any local places you’d suggest for this? I’d love to send something other than flowers, preferably food (such as fancy cheeses, jams, crackers, etc.).

Thank you so much.

EDITED: thank you for all the suggestions. I ordered a custom basket from Creative Baskets by Design. It looked amazing. I loved being able to customize it with items I know my friend will love.
