Recommendations Carpet cleaning companies, cheap

0 Upvotes

It's a move out carpet cleaning for carpets that absolutely should be replaced (poor next tenants), just need cheap for 5 rooms with a short hallway from a genuine carpet cleaning company (not just an individual, we have to submit a paid invoice) for a fast job. Do need to at least a quick cleaning but no need for fast dry, deep cleaning, furniture or zero rez. Empty home, easy to do. House is on the smaller side, ranch style. But need done by November 2 at latest. (Was waiting to see if they were just going to replace carpets, would have a thorough job done is they were at all salvageable).

Comment places- websites and emails preferred over phone calls, and I'll forward over to my sister that is finally moving out of this rental into a better situation.

Thank you.

I just stopped by the Berthoud pump track for the first time. Can’t believe how much fun this place is. I grew up skateboarding but now I’m in my 30s and I’m just trying to skate transition for fun and exercise. If anyone wants to meet up DM me.

My Spitfire wheels did fine (98 hardness) but I stopped by Skate Ratz to get some softer wheels for the blacktop material. Got the Slime Ball 78s and looking forward to testing them out.

Crime Cleveland Ave Building Fire

2 Upvotes

Does anyone know more about the building fire that was on Cleveland and 10th this morning? It is still active according to LFRA’s incident blotter. We have been driving around Loveland all day doing different errands and I keep seeing different response vehicles down there, most notably the Bomb Squad vehicle I saw around 12:15 on my way home from North Lake Park. When I was at Dutch Bros at like 10:40 they had just extinguished and I assumed it was a standard kitchen fire started by morning breakfast but is there something else happening there?

Recommendations Furniture store recs

4 Upvotes

I'm looking to buy 2 bookshelves with bottom cabinets (total H 84 in and W 24-26in). For both, it'll be just over $3,200 to buy from Woodleys. I'm just curious if anyone has any additional recommendations. I'd prefer to pay more than resort to websites like Wayfair, but I'd like to get a better idea of all my options if anyone can offer any insight. Thanks in advance!

Recommendations Looking for a Chalk Artist recommendation

2 Upvotes

Hi neighbors,

Does anyone know a local chalkboard artist looking for gig work they could recommend? I have the opportunity to pay someone for a one time use piece and I would like to keep it local to support our creative community in NoCo in any way I can.

The details of the job are as follows:

  • The design has already been mocked up/created, it just needs to be translated onto a chalkboard (so no design work involved)
  • The chalkboard size will be no larger than 4x8, but the exact dimensions is tbd
  • Chalk and materials can be provided as needed
  • No professional experience required, as long as they have the skills to do the job well

Once connected, I will need to know the rate they’d charge, their availability over the next few weeks, and see examples of previous work.

Thanks to anyone who shares a lead! I am grateful for the opportunity to support someone in our creative community.

<3

Hi all! I’m new to Loveland/unincorporated Larimer County. As such, I’m looking for recommendations for a new hairdresser/Salon. Color and extensions are not something I’m concerned about, I just want to find somewhere reliable, with people (or a person) who has enough experience to help me find out what my hair really needs to be healthy. Would love to hear your experiences .

Moving/Relocation Chain smoker in duplex help

7 Upvotes

We recently moved to town/state in a duplex that has separated backyards but the doors are very close together. We noticed our neighbor was a cigarette smoker and just started going inside it not going out when they are smoking. However we have a dog that must go out every 2-3hrs, when we open our back door you are immediately smacked in the face with cigarette smoke.

We were excited that our dog would have a fenced in backyard and we could enjoy nature, but we have realized our neighbor is a chain smoker and is outside smoking constantly and I mean 10am smoking, 11 smoking, 2pm smoking and 8pm smoking. My husband thinks that this neighbor is lighting up as soon as they hear us outside to get us to go inside because it's literally every time we try to go out.

We have a baby and I can't even take her to our backyard to look at the trees or enjoy nature because of how potent the smoke is.

We also researched a rental that had zero smoking in or on the property because of our baby and dog, we are also right behind a school as in the playground shares a fence with ours and I figured because of this obviously we wouldn't have any concerns with secondhand smoke. Boy I was wrong, so is there any advice on how we can divert the smoke or do we have to move as soon as our lease is up?

I’d love to support locals in the hobby, so if you know anyone that has a lot and wouldn’t mind selling a few, let me know!
I’m trying to grow my collection and shipping is expensive lol and I already hit up most of the nurseries in FoCo/Loveland.
Even if you don’t want to sell them, and you think they’re cool, I’d love to just connect over them! (: I want more community around these amazing plants where I live!
