As for your list, we checked off a few of them ourselves.

- Purchased Washer/Dryer
- Purchased entire household of new furniture
- We had the driveway, walk, and Lani painted. (very Happy with that)

Our house came, with wood floors, Granite countertops.

We are not moving in full time till the end of the year. When we get there we plan on Painting the interior and doing crown moulding also.
Landscaping and a golf cart.

Good Luck with your List, it's quite a lot.

Wow, did the Villages just start using wood floors and granite? Neither were used just a few months ago in DeLuna, Richmond, and St Johns, the villages built just before Newell. They were doing wood-look tile and wood plank look vinyl flooring, but not real wood. And the counters were either laminate (Formica) or quartz, not granite. Interesting. I would’ve loved granite.
