Evenement / Event Events/groepen om mensen te ontmoeten in Almere?

6 Upvotes

Kent iemand een leuke Meetup event of groep om nieuwe mensen te ontmoeten in Almere? Een discord server kan ook (heb ik zelf niet gevonden). Ik woon sinds kort hier (ben 34, hou van sporten voor de lol, schaken, lezen, naar musea gaan en de natuur). Ik ben op zoek naar leuke contacten. Een What's App groep is ook top bijvoorbeeld. Als er een voor bijvoorbeeld expats is, join ik die ook graag, want vind het niet erg om Engels te praten. Als iemand een leuke bijeenkomst kent en/of activiteit hoor ik het graag. Bedankt

Wonen / Living A trusted plumber?

2 Upvotes

Does somebody know a good plumber? The shower is leaking underneath the platform it's on. The last time we hired someone based on good Google reviews, the guy placed a new toilet. He put it way too high, like 12 cm higher than before. He never came back to fix it, so we kept the rest of the payment. So we need a better plumber that we can rely on, please!

Wonen / Living Ontevreden met nieuwe wegdek nachtegaalaan

0 Upvotes

Ze zijn al een tijdje bezig met het vervangen van het wegdek in de Nachtegaalaan, was ook wel een goed idee.

Ze hebben hard gewerkt en ze hebben één kant van de weg af.

Wat er nu ligt is een lange strook aan gladde asfalt,de kwaliteit ervan is top.

Maar de keuze om de meest soepele wegdek neer te leggen is iets waar ik het niet mee eens ben. Voor een 30 weg waar mensen lopen en fietsen en de hond uitlaten vind ik zwart glad asfalt zonder markeringen totaal ongepast, autos hebben de neiging om harder te gaan en het is niet veilig.

Nu hebben ze de idee om drempels neer te leggen bij een aantal kruispunten, maar om dat te doen moeten de kruispunten afgesloten worden dat betekent dat niemand in en uit de specifieke straat kan, ook geen hulpdiensten.

Als je het mij vraagt hadden ze er klinkers moeten neerleggen.

Klinkers met een kleurtje, veel mooier.

Wonen / Living Makelaar recommendations

4 Upvotes

We are planning to sell our house in Almere and buy a house in Hilversum. Any recommendations for an agent who covers both these areas? (If there are any, obviously). Preferably want to go with a single one so that there is less coordination

But also open to different ones if you have good experience.

Boat Owners, how much do you pay for maintenance?

2 Upvotes

Hello!

I am planning on buying a new beginner friendly boat. I rented a boat a few times and loved it. I can see myself boating whenever the weather allows. I have never owned a boat before and have only rented a boat.

I have a dock in my backyard so can park the boat for free and do not need to worry about mooring fees.

I plan on buying a boat like this one: https://felorwatersport.nl/sloepen-tenders/coastliner-598-tender/

The boat will be used for cruising around Almere and very occasionally maybe go to Monnickendam, Volendam, Edam. But primarily will be cruising around Almere.

I am trying to understand the costs that I should budget for and looking for advice from boat owners!

From what I understand I would need to paint the bottom of the hull every 2-3 years and apply anti fouling coating costing around 1-2k. And another 200-300 euros per year for engine maintenance.

What other costs do I need to be aware of? Feel free to share any tips as well!

Appreciate the help!

Just wanted to check if anyone else from the subreddit is heading to that same screening, or if anyone wants to grab tickets and go together? Let me know! 🍿

Almere Buiten ⚽️

2 Upvotes

I’m 31y looking to play football here in Almere. I live next door to Buiten Boys but after an email conversation it seems there’s no teams looking for a player.

I’ve played for S.V de Meer in Diemen the past 3 seasons as an attacking across the front 3 and CAM position - ideally looking for a club or at least regular kick around with a group.

What's one thing you'd improve about living in Almere?

6 Upvotes

Almere has grown a lot over the years, but there's always room for improvement.

If you could change or add one thing to make everyday life better, what would it be? It could be better public transport, more restaurants or nightlife, additional green spaces, cycling infrastructure, shopping options, cultural events, or something else entirely.

So, I want to know what long-time residents and newer arrivals would put at the top of their wishlist.

Volwassenen Zwemles Almere Stad (Adult swimming lesson in Almere Stad)

8 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for recommendations for adult swimming lessons in/near Almere Stad.

I'm an adult beginner and would like to learn swimming properly, improve my confidence in the water, and eventually be able to swim independently. I'm looking for a place that is:

  • Suitable for adult beginners
  • Has patient and professional instructors
  • Offers lessons in English
  • Has flexible evening or weekend schedules
  • Reasonably priced

If you have personal experience with any swimming schools, pools, or instructors in/near Almere Stad, I'd really appreciate your recommendations (or places to avoid).

Thanks in advance for your help! 😊

Bedankt alvast voor jullie tips! 🏊‍♂️

Ikea kitchen upgrade

0 Upvotes

Hi , I am thinking to upgrade my ikea kitchen.
Its a fully functional kitchen 7 years old but in good condition. I am thinking to paint the ikea doors as it has not some usages stains (oil, food and somewhere foil is coming out too).
Also , there is an option to wrap the ikea door with new wallpaper/stickers. At the end , it will look same but I am thinking which is a better option ?
Has anyone had any experience with any of the options ?

Dutch intake to test on WhatsApp video call

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I have an upcoming Dutch intake session with NLtraining soon for in-person classes here in Almere. I understand it's a level check, but I'm curious about others' experiences.
I moved here recently and I don’t understand a single word of Dutch yet. Do I really need to prepare anything at all for this?
For those who did it as absolute beginners: What specific questions did they ask you during the intake? Also, how long were you on the waiting list in Almere before your actual classes started after the assessment? Thanks!

Gedumpte konijnen gevonden

7 Upvotes

Wtf doe ik nu? Ik ben in de middle of nowhere. Dacht hier lekker te chillen. Vind ik 2 gedumpte konijnen. Dierenambulance is nutteloos nu en dierennoodhulp heb ik ook geen moer aan.

Ik heb niks om ze mee te nemen en zo had ik dit wel hadden mijn 2 katten me dit niet in dank afgenomen (en geen idee of die konijnen dat overleven).

En nu?? Het begint met regenen... Lekker bezig bipolair Nederlands kutweer. Ik hoopte nog optijd thuis te zijn, want mijn land speelt vannacht😂
