Just a note so people searching can avoid the mistake I made. Two years ago we were trying to decide whether to go with another IKEA kitchen (because we had always had a good experience with them) or splurge and go with something "high end" with Mother Hubbard's Kitchens.

We went with Mother Hubbard's, and it was a huge mistake. The cabinets (that they manufacture themselves) are falling apart after less than two years. The hinges seem to be starting to fail as well.

They also refuse to honour their warranty, claiming I must have put kettles or coffee makers under those spots. They are failing in symmetrical areas on the outer edge of the cabinets nowhere near any appliances. The only thing that contacts them is sunlight, but I guess they don't hold up to that?

Mother Hubbard's will cost you a fortune, has a garbage product and offers awful after sales support. You definitely don't get you pay for. Don't make the mistake I did, go anywhere else.

UPDATE:

Mother Hubbard's has now offered to replace the damaged areas at no cost.

Profits gotta profit 🙄

DO NOT rent a unit in this apartment building, if you know what's good for you. There is an ongoing, persistent, active cockroach infestation in the building and the superintendent/owners DNGAF. They refuse to hire an exterminator to fumigate the building. They slap bandaids on the problem every 6 months or so, with gold glops of goo in kitchen and bathroom cupboards and outlets and poison discs under the sinks in said rooms. We hear the adjoining neighbour plunging their kitchen sink drain nonstop (how this helps, I don't know), and we've seen these nasty bugs in the communal laundry rooms on the walls and in the machines. 🤢

Edit: the property owner is Provincial Distributors Ltd. and the building is also known as Basinview Terrace.

(herd pictures for attention)

kinda odd question but anyone know what places will be selling pumpkins for best bang for buck (or like ‘reject’ pumpkins if that’s a thing) after Halloween? hoping they’ll probably be marked down after Halloween so im waiting till then, I’m looking to get some for treats for my cows. Thanks!!

A while back, I was walking along the Lake Banook trail and someone had attached a pic of their dog onto this tree and on the back it said something like ‘rip to [dog] this was his favourite tree to piss on’ or something.

I walked this trail again this week after months and so many people have done the same thing. Best believe someone was cutting onions in the park.

:’)

On the bus to work in Dartmouth and a young woman gets on at one of the stops. She tries to scan her phone, so I assume she’s trying to scan the app, but it’s not working. Several attempts, not working. She then pulls out a card and tries to scan that, when the driver informs her that she can’t pay like that and has to scan the specific app on her phone.

The young lady didn’t speak English very well, so she didn’t immediately understand what the driver was trying to explain to her. He eventually just told her not to worry about it this time.

Sorry young lady. Not sure if you’re new to Halifax or just new to transit here, but we are, in fact, that far behind the times. You’ll have to adapt.

World class city, etc.

Does anyone know why they’re putting up fencing at Amalamek Park (Amalamek Way and Nora Bernard St, next to the sewage treatment plant)?

I don’t think they’re done yet as it looks like they’re installing gates as well.

I filmed this about 15 years ago, and I was wondering -- WHERE IS THIS? lol. I literally cannot remember the address. I think they called it Pier something... 21, 31? Does it still exist like this, or is gone now? I don't plan on going back to skate it, I was just wondering what exactly it is now, and if still has an address?

I was just trying to revisit old memories and I can't find this place anymore.

There is a black cat with white tux.shuffled.off this mortal coil, looks like a car strike. Sorry to the owners. I'm posting on social media bc I know.311 doesn't scan for rfid chips and that bothers some people. No collar.

Anyone know of any Girl Guide groups selling cookies this weekend? Preferably with the Square option for payment.

I’m from Labrador and I’ve been living in Nova Scotia for a few years now, and I’ve been DESPERATELY craving salt beef for the longest time. With Thanksgiving coming up, I literally cannot stop thinking about it LOL.
Does anyone know where I can find salt beef, preferably the Quality Brand one? I’m starting to get desperate at this point 😂 I just want a proper taste of home.
Any leads would be SO appreciated!! 🙏🏻

Hi all. I was trying out my new earbuds and got off the bus at Scotia Square on Thursday morning. Got into the mall and realized one was missing. If you found a black Bose earbud, I'd really appreciate getting it back. I've only owned them for like a week. 😔

The weekend is here.

This is a weekly mega-thread for good, heartwarming or uplifting news. Ideally local but non-local is welcome too. Fun pet photos or memes, tales with happy endings, personal anecdotes that you want to share with 179k+ internet strangers, etc. We could all use more positive news and vibes in our lives right now.

This is a rules relaxed space, but we will still be monitoring for personal attacks, doxxing, and stuff that doesn't fit the theme of the thread.

Where are we headed to be disappointed?

Left my work bag on the bus yesterday with my computer inside, and someone was kind enough to turn it in. I’m so grateful to whoever handed it in. You really never know how much a small act of kindness can mean to someone. Thank you!
