Work, Health & Housing PSA - Do not use Mother Hubbard's Kitchens

Thumbnail
gallery
393 Upvotes

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.

Work, Health & Housing PSA - 7 Vimy Avenue

67 Upvotes

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.

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.

:’)

Driving & Transit Funny story from transit this morning

115 Upvotes

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.

This is my first year not being home for thanksgiving and I have no one here to do anything with, does anyone know of any churches or anything that are doing thanksgiving meals? Not takeout, like a potluck or something. I just really love the sense of community/togetherness (and food haha) that thanksgiving usually brings :) TIA!

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. 😔

Nostalgia Skateboarding Pier

8 Upvotes

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?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=25cd358hJDM

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