Anyone know of any reputable mobile tire mounting/balancing? I have 4 sets I need mounted but I threw out my back so I'd rather have someone come to me instead of bringing them in.

I think they're called Roadrunner? https://www.roadrunnersdialatire.com/

I used them in the past, generally pretty solid.

Sump question:

Discovered a sump that has been buried in my parents yard for over 40 years and we now need to bring it up to grade by 2ft.

The sump is precast concrete tongue/groove and so far the only place that has this one specific style is a concrete place out in Vancouver. Is there anywhere around here I could opt out for composite or a similar material? Something a little easier to handle than multiple giant rings of concrete weighing hundreds of pounds?

You can buy smaller rings that don’t weigh so much and just keep adding them until you’re high enough. They are made out of concrete because of shifting soils, backfill etc. anything else would likely crush them. Personally I’d just keep using the concrete rings, it’s probably cheaper than any alternative you’d find as well

any good bike tune-up places around PNE or mobile bicycle tune up you guys recommend? i think i need new tires aswell.

Where has a decent selection of colours of spray paint? I want to paint some wheels but Rona/HD/CT don't have a lot of selection online.

Lordco has paint division. Paint mixing and matching.

Bought a used tow hitch that didn't come with the mounting bolts. Where can I find the proper strength bolts for install?

Need cl10.9 rated m12x1.12 bolts and 1/2" conical toothed washer.

anyone know where to buy those red chinese wedding pillows for tea ceremony?

You need tea set too?

I went to Grainer on Douglas Road in Burnaby to get hardware for my hitch.

Special order, took 2 weeks to get it

How about a place that sells and/or installs hitches? Burnaby Hitch, E&H Hitch Shop, Rack Attack, U-Haul, RV places, etc..........

I ended up asking Rack Attack and they were able to get the exact rated bolts and locking washers and gave it to me for free to boot. Great service from them.

RA is awesome, I bought a used set of roof racks and snowboard mounts from CL before and it didn't have the bolts required to connect each other. They just went to their back and grabbed me the appropriate nuts and bolts and gave them to me free as well.

if you have any friends/relatives that can show, you could probably do something simple yourself.

there used to be 1 or 2 shops on victoria that sold a qai po (chinese dress) and the equivalent for men, they may offer them.

i can't recall where along victoria as it's been SOOOOO long :lol
i think somewhere between 33rd and 54th and the west side of victoria.

likewise you could always give bello wedding world a call and see if that's something they sell

Try Parker Place in Richmond.

Also, a lot of the traditional Chinese wedding clothing stores in Chinatown sell them. (there's a few that are near New Town Bakery) That's where we got ours.

Potentially, it's a great investment for pillow ... $5-10 should yield you hundreds if not thousands.

for the wedding pillows and stuff, FB market place or amazon. that's where we got our stuff

You can also use it for the wedding night :ifyouknow:

Does anyone know who carries Meiji Chocolate Bars? TIA
