We lost power for 6 days during Milton so I’m looking for whole house generator recommendations. I’ve heard a couple of stories where people found out in the middle of the hurricane that their generators were not kicking in.

1. What’s your make and model?
2. Pros/cons
3. When and Where did you buy it?
4. Cost

Thank you!

I read through some threads of handy people and contacted some I thought could help. Maybe this can help as well. I've been out of a job for about a year so something cheap or charity work would be a blessing.

Can someone please secure my mirror to stop shaking and fix a spot of existing drywall (I have the paint)? I paid for someone to hang it but they did it wrong because it moves every time my neighbors make noise (which is almost nonstop).

I own a townhome and have PTSD. My neighbors (tenants) find it entertaining to slam the walls and doors even after our "civil" conversation. I am constantly triggered and not at peace in my own home. Someone please help.

Thank you!

I would like to visit some

I feel like it’s hard to tell if there’s a lot of old money / new money here or if there’s really much at all

Is it worth visiting in the winter or is it too cold?

Anyone know what they're building on the corner of Gandy and macdill behind the Walgreens? Gerardi construction group- maybe looks like a restaurant?

Greetings, a family birthday is coming up and a blueberry pie has been requested. As I’ve only been in Tampa for a little while I’m not really sure where to get one at this time of year. I checked out the pinned posts and didn’t see anything that fit my needs. If anybody knows where to get one, or of a baker/bakery, or has any other suggestions, I would be really grateful.

I was coming home around 5pm and an otter was running across the northbound lane, tried to run back across, then [thankfully] kept running towards Hunter's Green. I almost hit it, but stopped as soon as I saw its wobbly body. They aren't that fast on land! At least this one didn't seem to be moving very fast. I've seen otters a couple times now since living in this neighborhood the past year.

Has anyone else encountered them? Whenever I ask my neighbors who have lived in the development since the 2000's they are always shocked I saw one. I'm curious if any other redditors are out there that may have encountered any? I have older photos I can dig up of them in my backyard, but nothing from yesterday unfortunately.

Hello! I am an experienced home remodeling sales/marketing professional looking to take everything I've learned in the last decade and start my own company. My only real hurdle is finding a reliable, hungry contractor to qualify the business. If you're a license holder looking to make a change, please reach out!

Alternatively, if you have 4 years of window installation experience with 1 of those years as foreman, I will help you get your glass/glaze license.

Let's talk!

Admittedly, this may not be the appropriate subreddit so I apologize in advance.

How's the metal scene these days? Tampa used to be hailed as the death metal capitol of the world, or at least the US. As a full-time death metal guitarist, would I be shooting myself in the foot by relocating to Tampa?

Looking for a repair to a Mackie HR824 mkI. Popping/crackle on bass kick. Pretty sure the issue is a lose internal connector/cold solder fault. I've found a couple shops that want a $90 bench fee for what will likely be a 10 minute diagnosis (to be credited to the repair, if performed), but in case it's something more, these speakers go for $200 each used so it's starting to push the cost/value ratio on repair. Any suggestions? Cheaper shops? Tutorial/video resources? I can resolder a joint if you tell me where, but don't know the speaker electronics well (yes, I know that's part of the diagnostic fee, it's just that it's pushing 50% of the value of a $200 speaker).

My kitten slipped out the door at 1030 this morning. She is an 8 month old long hair black and white, around 6lbs. Near W Cleveland St and Malcolm Ave. Her name is Ivy and she is very shy. She is chipped but no collar. Please let me know if you see her.

Is this worth checking out? I love Christmas activities but $30 is kind of a lot to drive through lights, is it actually pretty cool?

I’ve been wanting to play a game of baseball or pickleball but I don’t have any money to join a team rn and I really just want to play pick up games. How does one find that?

Good evening!

I’m interested in learning more about the carpentry trade and where to begin.

I have an app for Erwin Technical in, and I’ve also seen that HCC offers a carpentry program.

Does anyone have experience with these colleges?

Are there better places to start for this field?

I was just evacuated from the theater. A young man came running into Moana 2 and said there was shooting outside. Everyone exited from the emergency exit to the back of the theater. Only 1 employee was there and he was shaking.

I really didn’t see this one coming.

What are your thoughts on Chronister? I work in hillsborough but don’t live there, so I really don’t know a lot about him.

Saw this a couple times on Instagram, but they were at restaurants that were outside of the U.S. just thought it would be a cool novelty thing for going out during the holidays!

Hey, if you are wondering if your company is going to do layoffs soon, you can check using the state WARN LIST. The list is for the whole state, but several Tampa area notices are on the list.
