Then they starting taking the same floor plans and they put them on concrete slabs the same way they do the homes in the newer areas of TV.

Everything was prefab - the same way it is done now for the newer areas - just different floor plans, and were all constructed by the same company owned by the developer. It is ingenious. This historic side has homes that are not like any of the floor plans offered by the developer. These new homes being built in place of the single-wides and modulars that are bought and removed are unique and fantastic. I love it over here, even with the awn ornaments and pink flamingos. The people here are the best.
thanx for the expanded explanation! and i am with you - i love it there, too. the home styles and lawn ornaments various ages - we are all quite a collection! and i wouldn't have it any other way!
