I moved to Laramie last year and have never seen a beaver in the wild until walking along the greenbelt the other day. I saw several that evening.

Question Anyone have insights on what grid-tied solar looks like with Rocky Mountain Power?

9 Upvotes

Haven't worked with a utility company in some years, furthermore haven't worked with Rocky Mountain Power in particular.

There seems to be a substantial amount of documentation (and process) on their website. Curious if anyone has installed a grid-tied system on their home, and if they'd be will to share insights with regards to hoop jumping, energy savings, and overall experience.

Where are the best places near here to go swimming? We’d prefer a lake if possible. We were thinking about Lake Marie, but are unsure if you’re allowed to swim in it.

Classified Junk Removal Laramie - Hunks Junk Removal

34 Upvotes

Hey Laramie,

I'm Casey. I've lived here since 2008, and I'm a current UW student. A few months ago, I started Hunks Junk Removal to solve two problems in our town.

One: people need junk gone. Estate clean-outs, tenant move-outs, garage clean-outs, storage units, brush piles, construction debris, demolition included, everything junk.

Two: students need good-paying jobs. So far, we've done both ⬇️

Since launching, we've helped over 55 customers. We're a trusted vendor for the City of Laramie's code enforcement. We work with WyoTech and four separate real estate companies to keep rental properties clean and tenants moving smoothly. We've hired three UW students and pay them more than any other job they've had.

If you need junk removed, choose the company the city trusts and choose the company your neighbors trust.

Call or text [307-760-8209](tel:307-760-8209) for a free, no-obligation estimate, and if you want to get the ball rolling, text photos alongside your inquiry. Thanks!

If you've got junk, call up the Hunks!

Thank you for your time, Laramie.

Question Mechanic recommendations?

4 Upvotes

Hey all! My dad just gave me his old car (and I gave my much newer car to my lil sis since it's safer) and this morning it made some crazy noises while I was driving to work, on top of all the other maintenance stuff it's overdue on. Do you guys have any local mechanics you'd recommend? I know it's going to be expensive, but I'm hoping to find someone who is known for being thorough. I plan on sticking around in Laramie for awhile so I'd like to have a go-to mechanic. Thanks!

I’m a NASM-certified personal trainer, but I’m open to just about any position in the fitness industry. If you know of any openings or have any recommendations, I’d really appreciate it. Thanks!

Just moved to Laramie and looking for some moving help. Are there any small moving companies, maybe student-led, that could help us unload some UHaul pods? I've called some of the big companies but they are super expensive. Any leads are greatly appreciated!

Question Moving

6 Upvotes

Hey y'all.

Me (M22) and my small family (F22, M4, M2) are moving to Wyoming at the end of the month and will be moving into our apartment August 1st, and I'm looking to do some early outreach. My wife and I are moving here from MN to attend the University. I'll be working then doing school once we figure out a childcare arrangement while she's going to school right away. What do y'all do out here? My wife and I are city folk, but we're open minded. She loves to read, crochet, recently picked up sewing and is picking up German for fun. I do most of the nerd stuff. Love to play Magic, I do a fair bit of gaming but I'm not sure if the Wi-Fi in Laramie is good for that. I'm interested in DnD and I'm open to joining new TT games as long as I don't have to spend an arm and a leg to get started.

As I said above we're open minded, and we have a small dog that will need to get outside as well, so anything involving that or recommendations for the usual local hotspots are all welcome.

Thank you in advance and I'm looking forward to joining the community.

My car just blew out a wheel cylinder, the apartments im in are pretty strict about work in the parking lot. If I pushed the car out to the road to repair will I be breaking any laws? It should only be about a 2 hour job max.

Question Can someone explain the Laramie approach to road repair to me?

1 Upvotes

Why are curbs and roadway edges done so differently than road surfaces? I see blacktop roadways and concrete edges and curbs done at different times. When the roadway's done but the curbs not yet, there's a jagged gully along the edge.

I'm not complaining and I'm not expert, but I'm curious. What's the thinking behind different materials for the middle and the edges, and separate project plans to do them separately?

Could someone knowledgeable about the town crews' plans explain why it's done this way?
