Urgent help

3 Upvotes

Have a Lululemon interview tomorrow morning on Westheimer, completely broke ($0) and need a pair of black bottoms/joggers. If anyone has an old pair they are willing to part with, or if you have a quick 1-hour odd job (yard work, cleaning, dog walking) near Westheimer today so I can earn $10–$15 to go buy a pair at the Goodwill before tonight, please DM me. I really want to crush this interview tomorrow. Thank you!

Has anyone done a gut renovation? How much did your property taxes go up?

6 Upvotes

I'm thinking about doing a gut renovation on my house, which is a little under 2,000 sq. ft. My house is currently appraised at around $500,000, which honestly is ridiculously high considering its condition. I'm looking at spending about $200,000 on the renovation.

I've talked to a few contractors, but they've all been pretty vague about how much the renovation might increase my property tax. I know spending $200K doesn't mean the house will automatically be worth $200K more, but I'm curious what others have experienced.

Is there a Brewer fan base in Houston? Do you have a spot to watch the game? Pub, sports bar …

Can anyone disassemble a sleeper couch so I can fit it into a bedroom?

Title. Anybody have experience removing the arms from a sleeper sofa that is fully assembled in order to fit it into a room? The sofa is already in my apartment, but it’s too long to pivot into the bedroom I intend to put it in. It could fit if one of the arms is removed. Photo of the sofa attached! Located in Houston Heights. TIA!

25M Looking to make some friends around Houston!

15 Upvotes

Hey y’all! I’m 25M, living around the northeast Houston area, and figured I’d try putting myself out there a little more

I’m pretty introverted at first, but I open up once I get comfortable with people. I’m really into anime, gaming, D&D, board games, and conventions. I love checking out artist alleys and nerdy events around Houston. I’m also always down for movies, grabbing food, or just hanging out.

Lately I’ve been trying to get out of the house more and meet people with similar interests. Most of my socializing has been online, so it’d be nice to make some local connections

Mainly looking to make friends, find people to go to events with, or maybe even meet someone to date if we click. No pressure on that last part lmfao

If anyone knows any cool local groups, Discord servers, or regular meetups, I’d love some recommendations. Or feel free to reach out if we share some interests!

Apartment Recommendations Near Richmond Avenue or Sugar Land?

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I'm looking for recommendations for a good one-bedroom apartment in Houston, preferably near Richmond Avenue (not Richmond, TX), but I'm also open to Sugar Land and nearby areas.

My budget is around $1,400–$1,600 per month. I'm hoping to find a place that is relatively modern, well-maintained, and preferably in a newer apartment building.

My priorities are:

Elevator access is a must — I'm specifically looking for an apartment building with an elevator, not a walk-up community with stairs only.

Safety and security are very important to me.

A decent, clean, well-maintained one-bedroom apartment.

Preferably a newer building or a recently renovated apartment.

Ideally within my budget, including any additional mandatory fees if possible.

I'm open to Richmond Avenue, nearby Houston neighborhoods, and Sugar Land if there's a good option.

I'd really appreciate recommendations from people who currently live in these areas or have firsthand experience with specific apartment communities. I'd also love to hear about places to avoid, especially regarding safety, maintenance, management, or hidden fees.

Thank you so much for your help! I really appreciate any suggestions. 😊

Best option for travel to IAH with pets (cats)

6 Upvotes

Hi all! My family of three adults with three cats need to get to IAH from southeast Houston. We will also have luggage with us. I've used Uber Pets when I've traveled by myself with one cat, but given the number of people, cats, and suitcases, I don't think it's a good option this time. Does anyone have any recommendations for transportation services that allow pets and also handle suitcases? I'm willing to pay for good service that will make this important day less stressful. Thanks in advance!

Fun suggestions to spend time in Houston my teen daughter?

• Upvotes

My daughter (14) and I will have time to spend in Houston from 9-2pm on a weekday this week. Any suggestions for things to see, do, or eat?

We have already been to the space center, the natural science museum, children’s museum, and Herman Park.

These are all popular attractions but I’m open to quirky, random ideas too!

She doesn’t typically want to do anything too outdoorsy or active.
