Hi guys, I just started learning tennis and looking for a partner to practice with. Comment below and I’ll send you a text!

Does this city do any sort of traffic research when they are planning construction, alternate routes advanced lights, main routes so and from the north end, etc? Or is it what I’m picturing in my head- 100 monkeys on type writers slamming keys until something makes sense to them?

I lost my dad in early December. I miss him alot. My birthday was early April. First birthday and Christmas without him and feeling so damn empty not celebrating those days without him. Is there any places I could talk to about grieving?

Just curious what is out there for ice cream shops that sell lactose-free or dairy free ice cream? I don't mean sorbet, I mean genuine ice cream. I've tried smoove which was amazing, just wondering if theres anything else? Also curious about outside of saskatoon, I am absolutely willing to drive 30-45 mins for some good ice cream.

Also just going to throw it in there before people comment, yes I've tried things like lactaid and no they dont work for me.

That is all.

I don't know who else to ask and I'm sorry for the long post.. if you know anything about insulation in cold regions, please read and help-

Our home was built in 2022. The basement has poured concrete walls with waterproofing painted below grade on the Outside and inside. It is unfinished but the perimeter walls were insulated and vapor barriered. We live in Canada our winters are cold. The perimeter walls are 2x4 studs 16"oc. The base plates were set about 2 inches away from the poured concrete wall. They used thick r20 insulation batts.

We started getting tiny puddles forming around the baseplates. In winter following odd warm periods.We thought it was coming from Outside. I opened the barrier and removed a batt of insulation to find the whole wall was soaked. This was the case for every wall. Fast forward, the consensus is that it was condensation build up due to the temperature difference between the inside air and the concrete. The insulators had the batts touching both the concrete wall and the vapor barrier with no air space. From what everyone says, thats a no-no.

So - the home builder agreed to redo it. BUT i dont know if their solution is the right one or if its a shortcut or if its completely wrong. The email from the builder is below;

"Yes a 2x4 is made for R12 insulation but when you leave the studs away from the wall you can put a R20 into the stud cavities as you have space behind the studs

We will not be installing any Styrofoam as that has been tried with no success.

Our plan is to install typar to the concrete from grade level down and then install 1 layer of insulation horizontally behind the studs. Then another layer of insulation will be installed vertically between the stud cavities and then the wall will bepolyed.

We would need access to the house on Thursday to install the typar and deliver the insulation and poly

Friday (company) would come to insulate and poly the basement"

Please let me know your thoughts!

Looking for local restaurants for a date night! So far I've been to Manos and Filosophy, so similar vibes/price range to this

Why on circle drive every morning/evening does circle drive north grid lock under attridge overpass. Are people that terrified of merge lanes? Drives me nuts.. going north is an added lane and going south the merge lane is like 300 yards

I am going back to work in a few months and the search for daycare feels so rough here in the city. I’ve put my child on every possible wait list I could, but everywhere all the lists seem to be packed with minimal movement, or some of the facilities don’t even accept waitlist applications anymore.
Are there any new centres opening that people have heard of?
I’m on the Facebook pages for daycares as well. Many of the licensed places I see on there are the same folks commenting on every post which worries me a bit as to why they are not filling their spots. Have a couple unlicensed day homes in the works, but looking to see if there is more for licensed places coming.

Hi! I’m looking for a female friend who doesn’t have kids and can meet for walks or visits. I am so lonely rn. Wish I had someone to talk to. I live in evergreen area…

I’ve had an E-bike that hasn’t been used for a year and I came from a small town. What’s the E-bike rules/laws here in Saskatoon so I don’t become a nuisance on the road.

I did some research online, but I would like to know a broader perspective from the locals.

To everyone driving in the shoulder of the highway during the college drive traffic, you are driving illegally and should have been ticketed.
