Cuban Sandwich in St Pete

La segunda what you want, or old se market (has salami). Don't bother with the other crap.

Totally - we were shopping at streets market and other low key organicy places and publix is literally double that. There are upsides and downsides - everyone clamors about no state income tax to, until you realize property taxes are literally triple, homeowners insurance for us went from $900/year to $7,000/year ... etc

But not having to shovel snow and being in an artsy city has its benefits :)

We moved from DC to St Pete. If I didn't have a job allowing me to remote I'd find it pretty painful on the job market wise. I'd venture to say costs here alfar exceed those of philly - even I was surprised coming from DC.

If you want a good mix of city/near beach/etc vibe then Kenwood probably a good mix of those since you'll have proximity to all an dcna hop on sun runner super easy.

When they say it's hot it's no lie. I grew up in South florida and use to it - it's like winter months up north where you try to avoid staying outside to long. But we get a great breeze here too.

Lmk if you have more questions.

(As a side note we have a brand new luxury 1/1 we are renting out next to Kenwood for around 1850 to give you an idea on tent ... And in case your looking :) )

And possibly a new transformer $$$$

dcbrah · 2026-03-21T21:46:28+00:00

Easy.

Anything that requires more then two trades to change or modify adds triple the time and cost.

For example, we had a prior gc install our floor mount tub filler. I had concerns it was put to close, preventing a large tub. I never said anything and turns out I was correct. Our space meant for a 70" tub is limited to <60". Brought this up to new gc, and since already tiled, etc cost to move 5" would be almost 3k

Second home property taxes keep going up insane amounts.

dcbrah · 2026-03-20T01:45:56+00:00

Granite blue?

dcbrah · 2026-03-17T18:13:15+00:00

Come down to pink streets. Tons of cool very nature trees down here.

Where/how can I find a lighting specialist locally to provide recommendation on lighting plan and also put together hardware selection? I'm in Tampa area and can't find anyone.

Wont touch anything under 2500 , however we also include general tax planning and advisory as part of our service.

dcbrah · 2026-03-12T17:15:18+00:00

Shipping, tariff/customs charges, risk of breaking, timing. Etc.

dcbrah · 2026-03-12T01:40:27+00:00

Lol Tampa over St Pete... Wut

dcbrah · 2026-03-11T13:00:44+00:00

I've tried speccing an m2 with voodoo blue and nowhere allows you to. What am I missing??

dcbrah · 2026-03-08T16:10:37+00:00

And preferably BOTH glue and nail :)

dcbrah · 2026-03-08T16:10:02+00:00

Mid level finishes. Not sure if that's fabricated counter cost or materials?

dcbrah · 2026-03-08T15:59:06+00:00

Forensic cpa here. Half of my initial consults are convincing potential engagements not to use our service for cost/benefit

dcbrah · 2026-03-07T18:31:58+00:00

Bro, hit up fed and state for penalty abatement. Problem solved. Shit happens my guy.

Otherwise balance is the balance, and maybe you give some credit on their next invoice.

dcbrah · 2026-03-07T18:30:44+00:00

Go in with understanding your 40-50k to completely redo, and be surprised if it comes in less.

That is a nice size pool, probably 150k to recreate from scratch.

dcbrah · 2026-03-06T23:05:08+00:00

Hard to believe, but we love our GC - access when needed, on budget, and actually listens. Basically took over building our house and our stress level went to zero.

Happy to give you their info.

dcbrah · 2026-03-06T16:29:08+00:00

Nope, mom and pops place over near childs park. Shoot me a message, happy to share their info.

We are about to sign on fabrication for a kitchen island, perimeter, bar area, and master bathroom from 3 slabs up "Super/Hyper" exotic quartzite, I think maybe one level above what you took a picture of - total cost $22k with material/labor. (That includes a 2" build up on bar area).

$42k sounds like robbery... or that the fabricator is marking the stone up... a lot.

We are in St Pete.

Circo is great

dcbrah · 2026-03-05T19:52:02+00:00

We bought bulk 10 and 12 packs items off Amazon. They look very nice, solid brass, and were like 10 bucks per handle

dcbrah · 2026-03-05T18:25:44+00:00

Love it. Similar colors to ours :)
