We also "met" a couple on ToTV back then, and their home was being built the same time as ours, 5 min away. I offered to take pics of their home building as they we in Salt Lake UT. They have found their pics very useful as well.
When we came for our visits, we never bothered the workers, but found a few items wrong and told our sales rep right away - ex, a hall sconce box put in the wrong area, and no second in-wall shelf in the master shower - small things - but better caught early than during walk-through..
Good luck and enjoy!
As a part time business, I thought taking pictures of the construction of new homes to sell to the first time buyers would be fun. I would enjoy looking at pictures of our Holly being built.

Our house was built some three years ago. We purchased it new after it sat unloved for some 10 months. For whatever reason, they don’t seem to be building many Hollys. There is only one new Holly currently listed on the Villages sales site with none having been listed for the past several months. Would like to take pictures of a new Holly build.
