We have friends that are building. Around 2500 SF. Higher end finishes. Around $400 SF. It can be hard getting windows, appliances and other components.

Where will the meeting take place?

I imagine it would be treated the same way as it would be treated if a deputy were to accidentally shoot someone.

I live just a few houses away from the beach. I no longer take the long beautiful walks from Blue Mountain to Grayton. It’s too depressing seeing the hostile private beach signs. I have talked to my neighbors and they are of the same mind.

VRBO May be fine for people that self manage their property, but I think they would be relatively useless as far as full scope management. Local vacation rentals earn their money and provide a great service.

Love this new venue. Happy hour menu had a little bit of everything. Price points were spot on. Great quality and variety. Try the brisket sandwich.

Danny, you have my support!

I am unable to open pdf.

Went there last night with friends. Soft opening. Quality food and service. Love the brewery operation; seven small batch specialty beers. Craft bar was one of my favorites, but this looks like a better business model. Will be back. Give it a try.

Bill requiring courts to decide public access to private beaches heads to Gov. Rick Scott's desk If signed, the new legislation would go into effect July 1, mooting the Walton County ordinance. “It is a little bit of a letdown,” Walton County Administrator Larry Jones said. “However, the...

Writing a bill and passing a bill are two completely different animals. Writing the bill placates one side. Not passing the bill placates the other side. The bill will go nowhere. The courts will decide.

Article Florida County’s Right to Protect Beach Access Upheld

Defuniak Herald is reporting THERE HAS been a recent ruling in federal court in favor of Walton County’s authority to have adopted an ordinance recognizing the public’s right to customary use of county beaches for recreational purposes. The Walton County Customary Use Ordinance went into effect...

Danny, glad to hear you are running!

Latest model. Could bypass FL and hit Eastern states. Back and forth we go. Need to wait for 3 day model.

Need to wait for the 3 day model for a much better idea of path and power. Then make your decision.

Being positive on this forum can sometimes be a lonely position

I will bet that the Venezuelans wish that they had a "problem" with proliferation of guns. Look at history. Governments often turn on their citizens.

One thing to kick around with ICF construction is that you lose 5" of depth for every linear inch of wall. That is a lot of sf that you will not be able to enjoy or profit from.

Probably nothing to do with climate change. Audubon article: In the early 1800s, people who visited coastal areas in southern Florida in winter were met with an astounding sight: hundreds of thousands of American Flamingos. The majestic pink bird, endemic to Central and South America and the...

Pygmy rattlers! They are prevalent, especially on trails less traveled. So hard to spot.

I spend quite a bit of time outdoors in Walton County. No coral snakes observed. If you do see one, remember this: Red & yellow kill a fellow; red and black venom lack. I learned that and never forgot it when I was in a part of the country with a lot of coral snakes.

Hey Steelman, Deron Strickman, Luke & Blues Builders, built our home on Gulf Point Rd. Solid builder with competitive pricing.

Did your friend get a grandfathered permit or a handicap permit? Those permits are given outside the lottery process.

I noticed that back in September 2016 the county was seeking a Request for Proposal (RFP) from outside firms to process Beach lottery applications, etc.

I walk my dog a lot and take quite a few trips on the Longleaf Trail. Wildlife is always a risk to your dog on the trail and even on the local paved roads. Now that the weather is warming up I pay particular attention to poisonous snakes, especially the Pygmy Rattler. The one's I have run...

Great choice! I plan on attending the meeting to support Melanie Nipper's selection.

:popcorn:

My wife and I met Father Tom last year. We were so impressed. He came across as such a gentle and friendly person. So sad to hear about this situation. We wish him the very best.

My son and fiancé are getting married October 2nd. Small wedding - 10 people. Looking for bamboo pergola and a few chairs to be setup. Wedding will take place in BMB. Thanks!

I have tried several local shops; my choice is Frimet Auto Repair in Panama City Beach. Very good mechanic and excellent prices.

This is how the legal system works. Unfortunately this issue needs to be litigated before it can be really solved.

Wild Heron is located in a CDD where taxes will be much higher. Here is a link to additional information: http://www.lakepowellcdd.net/_assets/documents/news/2013_60521_public_notice_ccd_environmentally_protectred_areas_march.pdf

The beach vendors actions on the beach are akin to organized crime. They come down to the beach in the wee hours of the morning; whatever it takes to beat the average tourist. They kidnap a bunch of public beach front area and then demand an exorbitant amount of money (extortion) to use their...

Small beach wedding planned for October 2nd. Blue Mountain Beach. 10 people. Any recommendations for a photographer? Thanks!

I left out Danny's contact information. Here it is: 850-381-5132 Danny@thetiltedlouver.com

Vagrant, you make some excellent points and I have to say I have learned a lot from your posts.

Well, we just recently finished building a new house in Blue Mountain Beach! Our builder was Deron Strickman-Levitas, Luke and Blues. Excellent builder! What a great experience! Highly recommend Deron if you are looking for a builder. After building our house we had blinds installed by Danny...

You know I hate to say it, but I think we need to thank the beach vendors. They have single handedly pushed this issue to the cliff's edge. What is at stake is the tradition of customary use by generations of vacationers, millions of dollars of real estate value and millions of dollars of...

Yes I do. Don't toilet paper my house!

:drink: No jab intention here! There are a few other characters on the forum that enjoy the occasional jab.

Case was filed by the neighbor across the street from the defendant's property identified as Salt Cake in Gulf Trace. Plaintiff is arguing customary use doctrine. Case # 2015-CA-377. Filed in August 2015.

Instrument 10111222 is a deed for a beach front lot at Blue Mountain Beach. You can look it up at the clerk's office. Landmark Web Official Records Search You can do an instrument number search and look up the above mentioned number.

Question for BMB vagrant. Vagrant, you make a lot of great points and I respect your opinion. The instrument you reference (deed to lots that now include beach front) states that beach front property owners "will not interfere with the normal use and enjoyment of said beach area by any owner...

Regarding quiet title lawsuits in Old Blue Mountain Beach. I have attached the source document used by homeowners to substantiate quiet title to the beach down to the MHWL. The source document is the 2 page covenants for the blue mountain beach subdivision (attached). The covenants actually...

Regarding BMB and access: I walk the beach and go up and down the beach access stairway on the the weekend. The private beach signage continues to expand and there is no reason to think that this trend will not continue until appropriate action is taken by the county.

I just had a couple of Norwalk leather recliners repaired. Several large slices on the seat and back. I didn't think they were salvageable. I found Suzanne, an expert at leather repair. The repairs were flawless. She can be reached at 318 518-6718.

BLUE MOUNTAIN BEACH AND ALL 3 NEIGHBORHOOD ACCESSES ARE PUBLIC!!! Okay, now that I have your attention, I would like to revisit the public/private beach issue involving the white sand area in Old Blue Mountain Beach. I have a little more information and would like to pass it on to the forum...

One beachfront owner has constructed "dune building" fencing that extends into the white sand area and maybe even beyond the MHWL, creating a barrier to both people and turtles.

Regarding quiet title in old blue mountain beach subdivision: I am simply not confident that all parties to the quiet title lawsuit were properly included. At a very minimum the other homeowners should have been included. Just my opinion. As I look into it further, perhaps I will come to a...
