Jalousie window sealing?

8 Upvotes

After putting up with some loud assholes in a parking lot next to my building too many times, I wanted to get some a roll of the jalousie sealing trim stuff to try and shut out more noise.

I’d rather get something local than from Amazon and they only have it in 100’ rolls (I’d need about 120’). Does anyone know if City Mill or a local place actually carries it before I go driving all over town?

Anyone heard anything about a shark encounter in Haleiwa?

Overheard a tourist at Target asking a cashier where they could snorkel to get away from the sharks. 🙄

I’m hearing the poor guy lost an arm. Really hope it doesn’t turn out that chum was involved.

What are the rules when it comes to short term Airbnb's. Are you allowed them in Waikiki only? Do you need a special permit to have one legally?

Amazon Delivery Drivers: Howzit? (you guys ok?)

116 Upvotes

So it's a couple months now since the rollout of the Amazon delivery vans. So, howzit? How's you guys?

I don't live townside, but I see the struggle. We get a lot of lost and confused drivers at our work, and we try to explain where to go, what for do...but it's a different driver every day.

Same problem, same story, wash rinse repeat.

I seen one Amazon guy straight up running up a side road, package in hand, cuz he no can find parking near the house, and guess he was behind schedule.

And when I drive townside at 7, 8 pm, I'm always passing the vans on the Likelike, mosey-ing along slow-kine.

You guys ok? I just stay curious if it's an enjoyable job, if things are getting smoother or not, if outside of town is any different than town. Checking in 🤙🏽

Hi everyone! Can I get a little help finding weekly or weekend activities on the island. Social media algorithms aren’t really working for me yet, and I don’t want to miss out on anything fun. Idk. Any page suggestions on how to stay updated on events like farmers markets, shows, concerts, or anything happening around the island? I’m just really bored. Tips or resources would be super appreciated. Thanks in advance! 😭

Have a 40” OLD tub that is a pain to clean with a shower in our 1976 single wall house. Who would you recommend to a friend to do the job. Wife doesn’t like those prefab showers (fiberglass?) at the big box stores. Hoping to get it done for under 4K(no idea what this would cost.

Hi everyone! Looking for markets and shops (ideally in Honolulu) where I could find ingredients for Thai food like pandan and other more specific and authentic ones, as well as tableware like plates, bowls, cuttlery, and more specifically, looking for tao charcoal burner options and if someone could also have a heads up on how much one would cost, that’d be very helpful! Mahalo for the help!

Suggestions for shipping minivan to NorCal

1 Upvotes

Any suggestions or advice to share when shipping a minivan to the mainland (specifically Davis, CA)?

Wondering which company to use, approximate cost, and maybe even the best time of the year to do it (since there is no immediate rush).

I believe the closest ports would be Oakland, SF, or maybe even Stockton?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
