    nanny/babysitter

    We have a house on the west end of PCB and had a similar problem-we have 2 kids we adore, but NEEDED adult time when we come down. I highly recommend Linda Waisuta. She's kept our kids plus kept our kids + friends and they all LOVED her. Her info is in a different room and I'm feeling lazy so PM...

    End of season used kayaks?

    Do any of the rental places around 30-A/PCB sell used kayaks? Or does anyone have one for sale. We're part-timers so we don't need anything fancy, but would love to have one. Thanks for any tips!

    Death today at Seagrove Beach

    Our place is on the far west end of PCB and since there are so many public accesses, the flags are always easy to see and the beach patrol PA alert system has been in full swing. However, the problem I've noticed SEVERAL times this summer is parents of teenagers letting their kids flaunt a)the...

    Wanted: Kayak

    We want a kayak! Preferably used...do any of the rental companies have year-end sales or anything like that? Where should we buy? What should we buy? We've rented a couple of times and figure by now we would have made a dent in the purchase of one. Suggestions appreciated!

    Vacation Babysitting Service

    I've seen some good threads on babysitters and childcare in the sowal area, but I need a vacation babysitting service (preferred)or a daycare or camp that accepts "drop-offs" for a day or something. We come down regularly with friends and it would be great to be able to have an "adult" day...

    Experience Professional Nanny Available

    I, too would love to know that going rate. My girlfriend and I brought our kids down for a few days earlier in the summer. That was the two of us versus a 4-yr old, a 3-yr old, a 2-yr old, and a 4-month old. We were outmanned outmaneuvered. We want to come back in October for a couple of...

    Brittany, I am PICKY PICKY PICKY about paint. We just had our whole house in PCB painted by Martin Flores at F&M Propaint. Cell 850-376-2057. I have NEVER been so impressed by painters in my life. Great job, responsible, quick and fair pricing. I'm from SC and they were referred to me so...

    Upturn in the market or recession?

    Regarding appraisal, ours came out ok, and would have actually been much better except that one of the comps used was a distress sell, which apparently wasn't listed as such and should have been according to those in the know?? I don't know. But, we bought a foreclosure and I think (?) the...

    Upturn in the market or recession?

    Lookylou-I'm self-employed and we just bought. There were a few hoops to jump through, but as long you have a few years of tax returns, I don't think you'll have any problems based on my experience.

    Having problems with Lenders...Question!!!

    We were in a similar position some time ago and used our local bank that knew us personally. We had great credit and sufficient assets, so the less than 2 years wasn't unduly worrisome for us. Of course we live in a town the size of my thumbnail and our banker had been my sunday school...

    Calling The Bottom

    Re: Calling the bottom! I couldn't log on last night? Big sigh of relief--no Amway and my bank actually told me that a)they wouldn't close on a condo without some serious scrutinization and no preconstruction at all and b)if they did close on a condo, they automatically take 5% off the top...

    Calling The Bottom

    Re: Calling the bottom! First let me say that I've been lurking on sowal for a couple of months and the fact that Shelly is responding to my posts makes me feel kinda flattered, kinda nervous. Whew, tread gently please, I'm new! The bank was just a very nebulous presence...hard to pin...

    Re: Calling the bottom! Yes, they did. However, it was certainly a hmmm...how to phrase this...."learning experience". :shock:

    Calling The Bottom

    Re: Calling the bottom! I think BobbyJ is right-even from the people I know, there's more doing and less talking about doing. And, in the interest of full disclosure, I have to say that we are going to have do some cosmetic work and also furnish it. Could we have gotten a BETTER STEAL somewhere...

    Calling The Bottom

    Re: Calling the bottom! We've been looking at property in the area for a few months-online and in person and from what I've heard (rumors included), seen on listing sheets and personally experienced (we have a contract pending on the west end of PCB that is a foreclosure) it looks like banks...

    VMU in Grayton only $140,000!

    From my take, it doesn't look like the VMU would allow for single family home-just something like a B&B. Of course, I guess a B&B is just a residence that rents out rooms? But I'm not a local, so maybe there would be a way around? Anyone else look at the Walton Cty docs and have an opinion?
