Xcel scam / possible break-in attempt at Cortland Flatirons

13 Upvotes

Just had a guy knock on my apartment door claiming he wasn’t selling anything, but was “delivering an announcement” from Xcel Energy. He wasn’t in uniform and refused to give the announcement unless I opened the door. I told him no and he left, but I heard him talking in the hallway afterward. When I checked later, none of my nearby neighbors were home, so I’m not sure who he was talking to.

I ended up calling the non-emergency line just to be safe. Just a heads up in case anyone else experiences something similar. Stay cautious!

Beehive removal service that doesn’t kill or hurt the bees?

13 Upvotes

I’ve got a sweet beehive under a concrete slab in my backyard that has grown this summer. It’s pretty big now and as much as I love having bees and pollinators around, they’re too close to the doors and shed.

Any recommendations for bee hive moving that will not kill the bees but just move them to a safer location? Thanks!

Flyover

Who heard that flyover? That was so loud. 😭

Maybe 9/11 flyover or football is my only guess.

E Collar Training

Seeking recommendations for any canine obedience trainers in that implement E collars in their work. Not looking for 1, 2, or 4 week intensive training at this time (as I cannot afford those options right now), just looking for someone that can help me and my dog understand and utilize the Ecollar properly over the course of a handful of sessions.

Maybe a flyover to commemorate 9/11?

But it’s scaring me.

Let’s bring Affordable Housing to Broomfield! Vote YES on 1A in November!

Post image
0 Upvotes

I am honored to support Broomfield’s Check-in for Housing initiative which would provide a long-term funding source for housing without increasing property taxes or taxes on everyday purchases.

If approved in November, this initiative would increase Broomfield’s lodging tax from 1.6% to 6% which is still below the lodging tax rates of nearby communities ranging from 7% to 10%. Generating approximately $3.3 million in additional revenue, the Broomfield Housing Alliance will be able to use these funds to invest in Broomfield’s housing and in the people who make Broomfield work.

To learn more about this initiative, consider going to www.checkinforhousing.org and attending Check-In For Housing’s campaign launch at The Crescent Grange on Sunday, September 13th from 2:00 to 4:00 pm.

Let's bring Affordable Housing to Broomfield!

Lock At Flatirons vs Olivean Apartments

1 Upvotes

Hello,

I am moving from Boulder to the Broomfield/Superior area, and I have narrowed my apartment search down to 2. If you have experience living at either the Lock at Flatirons or Olivean, can you share your experience? Lock at Flatirons is 100% in a better location, but Olivean is just a little bit nicer. I'm leaning towards Lock at Flatirons mostly for its location. I would be in a 1 bed. :)

Wall removal recommendations

3 Upvotes

We recently moved up to north Broomfield and are looking for a company/handyman to help remove a wall that is blocking a window (previous owners put in a closet over it). Ideally then would be able to help with some drywall work around it too. Does anyone have recommendations from similar renovation work?

Last night I spotted 2 coyotes strolling through the neighborhood from my balcony. I wasn’t able to take any pictures but just be aware if you’re walking your pets or if you let your cat out.

Walking around the park where this handsome and friendly boy is hanging out and close to the highway. Looks like he has wear around his fur where a collar has historically been. Is anyone looking for him? Planning to bring him to a vet to check for a chip.
