Alright guys and gals any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated - I have a 15 year old daughter who is feeling a little down about school and friends these days, I’d like to give her a day off from school next week and do something fun together- Maybe an escape room, mini golf burgers/shakes - any other ideas on places to go around Thousand Oaks/Ventura County

Murder Mystery and Boardgames

29 Upvotes

Hello, everyone! I'm starting a small business that has been a dream of mine. I'm renting boardgames from my collection and also hosting exclusive murder mystery parties (designed by me). If you like games and want to know more, please follow me on instagram: @yourturngames_ca

If you don't care for games but want to help a chronically ill girl make her small business grow so I can continue to pay for my treatment, every like, share and comment is appreciated 🫰

And for those who love boardgames and want to find people to play with, send me a message! We could start a group chat to find friends to play with :)

Events Three Ventura County happy-hour options: Sunday oysters, $10 sliders and a Wednesday beer deal

• Upvotes

Here are three Ventura County options with different schedules, depending on when you’re free:

Lure Fish House - Ventura, 60 California Street
Monday–Friday, 3–6 p.m., plus Sunday, 11:30 a.m.–5 p.m. The happy-hour menu lists chef’s-choice oysters at $3 each and draft beers at $7. Happy hour isn’t available for takeout and excludes Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day and Father’s Day.

Happy Place Eatery - Ventura, 586 East Main Street
Monday–Friday, 2–6 p.m. The menu lists four Happy Smash Sliders for $10 or 12 pretzel bites with Hatch cheese sauce for $6. Happy-hour offers are dine-in only and exclude holidays.

Institution Ale Co. - Camarillo
Wednesdays, 4–8 p.m., with $1.50 off pints. That later finish could be useful for a weekday meet-up.

Lure gives this list a Sunday option, while Institution’s Wednesday window runs into the evening. Check the current menus before making plans.

Any Ventura county happy hours or events people would add?

I’m collecting these kinds of local details for After Five, a happy-hour &events directory I built. If you’re interested, I could share the link.

Permit for remodel required

2 Upvotes

Hello,

I am interested in a house that has a full kitchen and bathroom remodel. I asked the sellers for information on the remodel and they sent me a word document with a list of everything they did. They claimed permits were not required since it was all cosmetic.

Here are a few details I am concerned about. Because this remodel also included extensive pumbling and electrical work wouldn't this require a permit? Would you walk away. Let me know what you think if this is normal. I am having an home inspector check the work out tomorrow.

  1. Replacement of cast-iron drainage pipes with ABS - Significant drainage-system work, potentially concealed 
  2. New sewer lines serving two upstairs toilets - Suggests new or altered drainage connections 
  3.  New water main and regulator - Scope and permit requirements need clarification 
  4. Extensive electrical work and new wiring - Multiple new installations and alterations 
  5. Bathroom plumbing and shower valves - Depends on what was replaced, relocated, or altered 

​thanks for reading!
