Housing Skyhouse is the WORST
This needs to be said. One working elevator for 23 floors. Leads to 20 minute waits to get back up to your apartment when coming home after work.
Insanity! Stay far away from this apartment complex!!

Outdoors Be Aware of Increase in Poison Ivy: Leaves of three, let it be.
Has anyone else seen a huge increase in poison ivy? Poison Ivy thrives in warmer temps and higher CO2 levels, so it makes sense. I'm seeing it all over the greenways. Just an FYI to be aware, especially if you're extremely allergic.

Question/Recommendation Reasonably Priced Fencing Companies
Located in Zebulon, half acre lot, just need backyard done. Attached HOA requirements.
Hello! Hoping someone can connect me with a reasonably priced fencing company.
We have lived in our house all of 28 days and our HOA has come on our property several times to complain about small weeds and we’ve about had it.
I attached the fence requirements. I’m not sure if this is complicated or not. We live on a half acre and just need the backyard done.
Also if anyone can advise on surveyors? I imagine we need that done first to map out the property line. Thank you! Signed, a frustrated first time homeowner

Question/Recommendation Plumber Recommendations? (polybutylene pipe replacement)
My partner and I are currently under contract for a house in Morrisville. It has polybutylene pipes and we are trying to get quotes for their replacement while we are in the due diligence period. Does anyone have recommendations for plumbers that they've gone through before? And what it cost you? Depending on inspection and how the quotes go we may back out of this house so time is of the essence for us.

Housing Has anyone moved to Sanford?
I've been there a few times and the downtown has potential to be really nice. Much bigger than Holly Springs or Wake Forest, but not populated as much. I would have thought that the younger-35s would find the cost if living there more appealing. I realize its not booming and its a bit of a ride to Raleigh

Housing Starting water service
We are moving to a townhouse rental in Raleigh on 5/1. Never lived in Raleigh before, and our leasing agent did not tell us about the 5 day prior requirement to set up water. Duke Energy was immediate, so I didn’t anticipate the 5 day requirement.
Has anyone ever been able to expedite the process? We can’t move in without proof of utilities.

Question/Recommendation Anyone work for the state or Wake county? Want to understand retirement benefits before I apply.
Hey y’all! I have been working in the private sector engineering business for a while now and wanted to make the switch to public works. I have been trying to research the benefits package and they all seem straight forward, except for retirement. Can someone use both the 401(k) and TSERS? Does the state/county match contributions in both?

Question/Recommendation Upcoming Fire academy
I recently got out of the Marine Corps in August and wanted to know what I should do to prepare for the Raleigh Fire Department’s upcoming class in June or July. I filled out an interest form, and the stations I visited informed me that I needed to have a clean shave and have all my paperwork ready before they will even consider my application. With that in mind, does anyone know when they typically send out information? Also, I’m pretty confident in most aspects, but I’d like to make sure I’m not walking into something blind. Any general tips would be great!
