zcaveman:
That's a great idea--to include it in your list! Sorry, I should have thought of it myself and sent you a PM. Whatever, as long as it gets publicized.

Potential newbies and newbies:
Be sure to read zcaveman's posts on his Things to Think about When Moving to The Villages! It's an absolutely valuable resource and the most comprehensive source of 'what to do and how to do it' that I've ever seen not only here in TV but in any context!

EVERYONE (potential newbies, newbies, and even existing residents):
When you get here--or if you are here already--it would be well worth your while to monitor your sprinkler system. The control box is a bit complicated but can be figured out; if you're in new construction you can get TV to walk through its operations with you, as well as how the zones themselves work, during that 30-day warranty period. And it's important to remember to replace the 9-volt back-up battery periodically; otherwise, in the event of a power outage, you can lose your settings. Be vigilant; it's yet another 'caveat'!
