My goal is consistently to make my house a little more comfortable… Living in Tampa, FL is tough.
I moved to the neighborhood because of a bestie, then he needed to live in Tampa for work, but my great friend and I have since broken up and I never left.
I entirely like what Tampa has to offer! You have the Tampa Bay lightning, you have a large locale that hosts a ton of songsians, there are bars, restaurants, shops, and all sorts of fun events… Tampa is a happening area. The only con for me is the tepid weather. I dislike tepid weather. I thought before I hated snow and cold, however the heat is worse for me. In Tampa it can get to the triple digits and when you factor in the humidity, my god it is brutal. I dislike it. I am consistently overheated and just wanting to kill myself. I have done what I can though. I purchased myself an above ground pool and I basically live in it during the summer. I purchased a bunch of trees to provide me shade cover. I also purchased a top of the line A/C system. My idea is that if I have a great quality A/C unit, I will be happier with the weather. I don’t skimp and do energy savings either. I own a smart thermostat and I don’t let it save me money! Keep it cold all the time. I don’t want it to ever come into a moderate home. I use the A/C basically 90% of the time. Owning a boiler isn’t entirely necessary in Southern FL.
