The door to the lanai and the concrete pad was moved to the other side of the lanai so as that I would not walk into it upon exit. They even moved the sprinkler heads due to the slab relocation. I was happy that was done. My sales rep also agreed to pay for landscaping aroung the transformer. All is good in Penguins world.
Here's the flip side, BUYERS BEWARE!!!!!!!!! The issue with utility placement is totally up to the utility gods. The plats or the drawings you get or the sales reps get are in my opinion useless. THEY MEAN NOTHING. Its up to you the buyer to make sure what you agreed on is what you will get. Its a big pain and believe me I know first hand. My sales rep, bless her heart, really went to bat for me but short of losing her job she was told nothing could be done about the obvious mistake. Your best defense is a good offense. In other words be very dilligent in the very beginning of your home purchase and make absolutely sure everything is the way it was presented to you.
Again THANK YOU ALL and I hope at the vary least our potential friends and neighbors have some good information on making their new home in the Villages a pleasant experience.

A lesson learned for all of us. Glad you were able to close and happy to hear your rep was working for you. Sad to say, from the response I received from mine...l I don't think she would have for me. So... count your lucky stars you had someone who went a step beyond for you. It's all you can ask.
