I recently inherited a few stringed instruments, specifically mandolins and violins. Are there any recommendations as to where I could go to get them appraised and repaired if necessary?

Recommendations Looking for reliable welding/auto repair shops for small repairs.

Does anyone know of any shops north of Atlanta that could repair a small amount of rust damage on the underside of my cars subframe/crossmember? I'm just not familiar with any places that could perform those types of repairs.

Recommendations PT for osteoporosis (spine)

Can anyone recommend a good physical therapist for someone with osteoporosis? I've seen a lot of PT psts but cannot find any that speak to someone experienced in osteoporosis (that is also well liked). Emory/Tucker area is preferred but getting the right person is most important. TIA.

Recommendations Affordable Home Renovation Company

13 Upvotes

Hey all, I’m looking for recommendations for a home renovation company that won’t break the bank. I’m not looking for the highest end finishes, just good quality work at a price that doesn’t bankrupt me. I need a new roof, new siding, a new staircase, two-ish rooms upstairs fully renovated to the studs, with new insulation, and some various drywall work.

Recommendations Place for 1st haircut?

14 Upvotes

What’s a good spot for a toddler’s first ever haircut? I’m looking for a place with good customer service that can cut curly, biracial hair well.

Please do not suggest Ms. Lisa in Decatur. I had an overwhelmingly negative experience with her and found her to be arrogant and an unpleasant personality to have around a child. Looking for a plan B.

Thanks!

Recommendations Paperie stores or places that sell decorative papers?

11 Upvotes

Are there stores around town that sell decorative paper, preferably kind of larger sheets? (Like one could use for bookbinding or fancy gift wrapping). I’m looking specifically for Florentine papers with small prints, but interested in any places that sells decorative papers or bookbinding supplies.

I’ve been to Blick. Sam Flax is on my list, but they seem to have very high prices so I’m not hopeful.

EDIT: after more research, I think the papers I’m specifically hoping to find locally are made by Rossi 1931. Several places sell Cavallini & Co papers, but those are intended mostly for hanging up as art. But again, open to anything…I also like chiyogami papers and Sam Flax seems to carry those (at least online; haven’t been in store yet). I’m looking for book cloth, too! It’s expensive to ship.

Recommendations Comedy club suggestions

11 Upvotes

My partners birthday is coming up next month and we would like to have a fun evening at a comedy club. Are there places that attract more chill comedians than not? If good food is available, it would be nice but not necessary.

Edit: Thank you so much!! Great suggestions that we’ll have to check out. We are in the last stages of selling our place in OH and moving to Atlanta. My partners birthday will be the week we arrive, so this gives me plenty of time to work with and plan. You are all awesome!!

Recommendations Any recommendations for a swimming pool inspector?

8 Upvotes

I might be putting in an offer for a house, but it has a pool, and that is not an area I am well educated on. Looking for someone to give it an inspection since it is not covered by ASHI inspectors. Is there anyone you would recommend? The home is in the Austell area.

Recommendations Best Wedding Suit Rental?

13 Upvotes

Getting married in October. I'm well aware of the big chain locations. I also am a fan of indoccino, but $800 isn't what I want to spend on a suit that I will wear infrequently at this moment.

Is there any locations that are good for a more fitted look that I can rent? Not going for anything fancy, just want it to look nice.

If I can get this at a Mens Warehouse, I'm ok with that as well.

Question Pork fat trimmings

9 Upvotes

In Florida I was able to get 5 pound bags of frozen pork fat trimmings from a mom n pop grocery store for free (people used it to add to venison) I haven't been able to find any place that would have trimmings even if they sold it for a few dollars. I am in the Lawrenceville/Buford area. If you know of any place it would be nice to know.
