Discussion Hired a designer and a GC separately on my last remodel. Won’t do it again.

5 Upvotes

Finishing up a bathroom renovation in West Palm Beach and it’s been a frustrating six months. The designer I hired was excellent at selections and the look of things, but once construction started she was basically off the project. The GC made a bunch of on-site calls that changed the layout, and now a few things don’t work the way they were drawn.

Not looking for sympathy, just wondering how other people in this area have handled it. Is there a way to keep a designer more involved through construction, or is there a different type of firm I should be looking at for the kitchen I’m planning next? Feels like there has to be a better structure for this.

Tourist Info Things to do on rainy weekends?

13 Upvotes

Hello! We are visiting next weekend for a bachelorette trip with 9 girls. The forecast is rain all weekend from Thursday-Saturday(6/4-6/6). We have a yacht charter and a beach rental planned. The bride is already down that it’s going to rain the whole trip and just wants to sit in our Airbnb and not do anything. I obviously cannot let that happen and her be sad, so I want to make sure we have fun alternatives to offer to make it a fun experience. She really just wanted to lay out at the pool and beach all weekend. Any suggestions are appreciated!

Discussion Any recommendations for Plumber in West Palm Beach?

1 Upvotes

Hey guys,

Need some honest plumber recommendations in West Palm Beach. I’ve been going down the Google/Yelp rabbit hole for the past couple days and every company either has amazing reviews that feel fake or horror stories about no-shows, insane pricing, or “fixed” problems coming back a week later.

Anybody here actually have a plumber they’ve used and would call again? Mainly looking for someone reliable for leak/general plumbing stuff, not a company that’s gonna try to upsell me into replacing half the house.

Open to recommendations anywhere around Briar Bay Park. Bonus points if they actually answer the phone and show up when they say they will.

Appreciate any real local recommendations because this search is starting to feel way harder than it should be.

Discussion Dock fishing spots

2 Upvotes

Me and the girlfriend may go fishing this weekend because apparently she has never seen a fish before. I question the legitimacy of this claim, because I don’t know how you can live in sfl your whole life and never see a fish. Just looking to catch some dinky dock fish (snappers, damselfish, etc) I don’t care if they’re smaller than my hand I just want her to be happy, plus I have no skill whatsoever.

also, what bait would I use for this?

Community Trying to meet new people

12 Upvotes

I’m 21F and I’ve lived in WPB for over a year for work and I still can’t seem to meet anyone my age to be friends with. The few times I’ve been to clematis it’s felt very cliquey with my age group and it’s also hard for someone like me (kinda anxious) to put myself out there. Anyone have any recommendations on how to make some friends?
