It sounds to me that perhaps you are an agent for the MSL the way you are plugging buying used homes. I understand the merits of pre-owned homes, but it doesn't always work out for folks. We looked at both new and pre-owned and for us this was a better option, and we were able to get exactly what we wanted in our home, without having to redo what we didn't like. Anyway, this thread was about specific questions I had, not a new vs. used home debate. Lacylady was kind enough to respond with good advice, so I'm done. Over and Out!

To all the new folks with the dirt flying....it will be danged dirty for a while but NOT a long while...a few months and then the dirty makers move on to build somewhere else. Our home will be two years old next month and the windy conditions here and the sand here and the builders starting with bare dirt is a big mess, but not for long. I almost laugh when I see people getting those little skirts put up along the property edge...dirt flies around in the air and most of it landed on our lanai which made me crazy for awhile. When they completed the homes immediately adjacent to us we cleaned the lanai and it stayed about as clean as a Cincinnati porch for a couple of months...
When we get a dry spell, in other seasons not summer, and a blowing wind the new build sites can look like a sand storm in the Sahara.
But many will tell you as I do that in a short time things die down and you only get the dirt that seems to hang in the air in this area and make this the dustiest place I have ever lived.
