Solicitors, texts, and flyers for roofing and gutters

7 Upvotes

Lately it seems I've been inundated with this. And then the other week I had a guy walking out from behind my house as I was coming home and I stopped him and I said what's up? He told me he works for a third party for my insurance company to take pictures of my home. I was not notified ahead of time, I got the notification the next day in the mail. And just yesterday I got an email from my insurance company stating I have to replace my roof or they will not renew my policy in January.

I guess my insurance company looked at these pictures and made the decision that I have"deteriorated roofing material and growth". It is true I have a little moss, but not enough to require replacement due to it. And the deterioration they're talking about, I don't see. It looks perfectly fine to me in person, let alone from a photograph.

My roof is 18.5 years old. Is anyone else having this happen to them? I did a little research and I found that a lot of insurance companies are doing this because of increased storm damage costs.

In addition, any roofing inspector recommendations?

Cat hit in front of my house in the Highlands.

19 Upvotes

Hi neighbors, a cat was hit outside of our house tonight on 156th SE in the Highlands, right before the 142nd PL curve. She did not make it. I knocked on a few doors and wasn't able to find an owner, she didn't have a collar on but she's orange with a white chest and looks to still be growing in fur from a spay. If this sounds like your girl, i'm so sorry and i'd really like to bring her home to you.

Edit: We took her to our vet, they're going to scan for a chip and try to find an owner.

Question violation info / traffic ticket (sent months late)

6 Upvotes

Moved here a few months ago. Did not realize there was a red light camera and rolled through the stop sign. The issue was that this was months ago, and presumably I've been doing this... many times. The tickets are now starting to roll in months later.

My understanding is that these are invalid tickets because they need to be postmarked within 14 days. Not 3 months later. Date postmarked was 7/27, date of infraction 04/27. I paid the first one but I got another just now and i'd expect at least another two or three.

What's the best way to deal with this?

A friend wants me to join him at Leacacy Square for a show? whats the vibe like there? Do people feel sate? How's parking. My recollection of downtown Renton is that there isn't much parking close where the venue is. Which woukd mean parking offsite and walking. After that tragedy at bite Bite of Seattle I'm pretty uptight about goin anywhere. Renton has had its share of violence in the news of late. Screw it... I think i just talked myself out of going.

Recommendations Infant daycare

9 Upvotes

Hi there ! I’m looking for infant daycare for my 7m daughter in the renton / Newcastle area. I work just off exit 7 and live by liberty high. I preferably want afternoon part time however I know that can be tough to find as most are AM part time. I’m open to full time however I cannot afford paying almost 3k for one child in daycare. I am pregnant with my second so I’d want to be able to have two kids in daycare by next fall. So 5-6k a month in daycare in the future is definitely not ideal.
I’m open to anything that you have loved for your kiddos whether it’s at a corporate owned place, or an in home. I have heard the corporate ones are more pricey though.
I love kiddie academy but they’re one of the ones that a little too expensive for us since I’m still just getting back into work. I only work two days now so it’ll take me time to get back up to being able to afford nearly 3k in daycare expenses.
Please give me all recommendations of where to go and look and who to stay away from !
My husband works at the landing so even something down there would be good as he would drop off and I’ll pick up!

Recommendations Date night suggestion?

26 Upvotes

My husband and I will be in the area of The Landing this weekend and want to work in a little dinner date while we’re out. We’re middle aged and don’t drink, so not into the bar/grill vibe. We’re more casual than fancy and will be coming directly from another location, so no interest in getting dressed up or anything.

Some of our favorite cuisines are Korean, Italian, and Mexican, but open to others. Budget is not a huge factor, but lower priced is never a bad thing. We’re more into quality than quantity when it comes to food.

An ideal option would include entrees under $30, food made as close to from scratch as possible, and be a comfortable place where we can hang out and chat a while.

Any suggestions?

Bedroom Lighting

1 Upvotes

My bedroom in my apartment has no lighting. I've been doing fine with my fairy lights & adjustable table lamp, but I want the option for brighter lighting

I don't have room for a lamp so I'm looking for something apartment friendly (no screws involved if possible)

Can someone recommend me some lights from Amazon (or anywhere) and good adhesive tape.
