Washer Dryer - Thanks, solved!

Thanks to those who reached out!We had a stackable washer dryer delivered this morning and the service would not move the washer dryer down our steep hill, which meant the old broken washer and working dryer was not removed and taken away. The new one is now sitting in our garage up at the top of our hill. I have a small dolly, but at 230 pounds it’s more than a one person job - 3 would be ideal. I also need to get the old one removed (the dryer works) and taken back up the hill.

We’re in need of a couple of strong hands to assist, preferably two more people to make it easier on all. I’m also, if possible, looking for a bigger dolly and straps.

If you’re willing to help out that would be greatly appreciated, I will generously make it worth your while.

Thanks in advance, please text or call when convenient.

Kids on Roads

Hi,

A few days ago I was driving on Pilkey Point Road just past Telegraph Harbour and saw a young girl ahead of me riding what looked to be a kind of Vespa. She had her helmet on and was keeping to a safe speed.

But then she veered over into the oncoming lane and continued for a minute, going over a few hills and around several blind corners.

Luckily no cars came along, and she eventually went back into her own lane, but I was concerned for her.

Maybe parents could remind their kids about safety on the road?

Thanks,

Kathy Allison

Need a Helping Nand?

Hi there!

My name is Ramita, and I am living on Thetis Island (came from Nepal in Feb) and I love it here! I am currently available to hire for a variety of household jobs and would love to help out. I am a dedicated, honest and hard worker and I have been working with several local families, and hoping to expand!

Anything from:

• Cleaning
• Weeding
• Laundry
• Cleaning home between guests or Airbnb rentals
• Child care
• Vegetarian Nepali Cooking (so delicious!)

If there's something not on the list, reach out and we can chat! I charge $25/hr, and I am often available on short notice. I ride my bike currently (so I am limited in range) but also offer a discount if rides are arranged - mutually beneficial!

Please email or text to connect - ramitaa16@gmail.com or 403-925-0102

I'm excited to meet you!
Ramita
