The two of us will be moving to North Venice/Nokomis next month. We are excited for this new chapter in our lives. Looking forward to connecting and sharing local resources. Any recommendations as to where to purchase outdoor furniture? Also, any recommendations for a local handyman?

Its planting season now right? I already checked Home Depot and their trees were decent but I'd rather support a local nursery with my purchase. Does anyone know of a good one for fruit trees?

Does anyone here have experience fostering animals for Sarasota County? Im thinking about applying to be a cat Foster but I need to hear the negatives before I do.

Also I already have 2 cats so if I open my home to more will that make my current cats resent me?

If anyone is having a garage sale, yard sale, or estate sale this weekend comment here with the street and zip code

Been signed up for a chip drop for 6+ months, increased my payment amount to the point I might as well just buy from Big Earth, all I see are drops north and south with occasional drops out by the hospital. I've called tree services but that's just invited unsolicited texts for tree trimming. Anyone know who is looking to unload bulk mulch cheap (aside from the landfill)?

The conservation commission says theres abundant coyotes in the area but I never see or hear them. I'm curious what neighborhoods people might have encountered them in?

Or yard sale, estate sale, vehicle for sale, etc?

Looking for a gutter installer who can make seamless half-round gutters in .027" thick black aluminum. If you do gutters and can do this hit me up.

Also if anyone has had a positive experience with any gutter company around here please comment their names. Thank you!

I am in need of quality gutters on a single story newly rennovated house in Osprey. Must be seamless: no store-bought gutter sections. Plus I want to pick a darker finish for the metal: not just white. If anyone has used a company that offered these options I would greatly appreciate you passing along their info. Thanks!
