Where is a good place to....?
This page will list some of the best places to do or buy something,
as I find them or as recommended to me.
Tanner Paint Co 4917 N Armenia Ave  (813) 876-0467. They are a Benjamin Moore dealer and also make up their own paint.  Paint Quality and Prices are good. Open on Saturday till noon. Ask for the quick tour of the paint making plant.
Paint
North Rome Lumber Co 5810 N Rome Ave (813) 876-3705.  They have in stock much of the molding used in our old homes, moldings that can't be found at Home Depot or Lowe's.  If it is not in stock they can make it.
Lumber/Molding/Hardware/Building Supplies
Home Depot  8815 N. Florida Ave. (813) 933-0302. Can't live in an old house and not know Home Depot intimately.
