Lovely home, dawg. So exciting & can't wait!

Peg & Bob (lot 58):highfive:

[angiefox10]

YEAH!!! It's still there!!!!:thumbup:

[angiefox10]

Hey Dawg.. Is that a begonia??? Nice!:BigApplause:

[Oren L Miller]

Thanks for pics of the lot. I really like the looks of your house. :BigApplause::BigApplause::BigApplause::BigApplaus e:

Thanks and I hope I got the right lot pix. Our house is a stretched Iris. We had the lanai stretched out another 4 ft. and stretched the garage and front br another 2ft. More room for "stuff." Picked the Iris because my Peach had to have room for her baby...grand that is. Will be away from TV for a few days to check on Joan's mother in Georgia. Will have to see if I can get Peg n Bob a pix of their lot next. Kind of fun being able to share pix for those not able to be here to see the place take shape. Hope it helps make a connection to your new neighborhood. There is no building on Alee Ln. as yet. Seems the only street without a house started. Back in TV on Friday and will post more pix next weekend.

[angiefox10]

Beautiful!!!

[jfmajer]

Beautiful :thumbup:

[skyc6]

GaDawg!! What a Georgia peach you are! Thanks for sending a pic of our lot! It's just reassuring to know you are down there taking care of the neighborhood!
BTW, your home is just lovely! Betcha can't wait! I know I can't!
Thanks again!

Dawg, It was nice meeting you and your wife a couple of days ago. Great-looking house you have going up in Sanibel. We drove that area yesterday; it's going to be a real winner!

It was just a pleasure meeting both of you and all of the folks at the luncheon Sunday. Glad you took the time to go see the progress in Sanibel. It has been amazing to watch a whole new neighborhood begin taking shape. After our short trip to Ga. we are going to check out those cart places you suggested. Want to have one in the bay the day we move in HaHaHa.

[angiefox10]

You could post pictures of the neighborhood in progress..... When we were there, the home next to ours was just starting and one other was about half finished! I would LOVE to see what it looks like now!

[skyc6]

I would love to see that too. I just put Tom on a plane to come down for a week. Maybe he will catch up with some of you who are there and say hello! Also, maybe he'll get some good pics!
Angie, the home between yours and mine in the back is probably nearly finished by now because it was pretty far up when we were there. Fun to watch the progress! Are you retired yet? You must be thrilled!

[pzjay]

Hi dawg. Thanks for thinking of us with pics too! So kind. I know of one person that owns a lot on Alee, but they are not building right away. We may wind up being the first???
You guys will know all the ins and outs of Sanibel by the time we move!

Thanks again!:bigbow:

Peg & Bob

[skyc6]

Yes, he will Peg. I think we will have to call him the Mayor!

[angiefox10]

Yes, he will Peg. I think we will have to call him the Mayor!


All in favor... say aye! (is that how its' spelled?) Oh well... someone will let me know! :D

[skyc6]

Aye sounds right to me! Hey, Angie!

[angiefox10]

*waving* Hey Sky!!! Were you the one who asked about my retirement? I am taking a day off to practice today!!! I think I'm going to like it!!! I will be official the end of this month! Then I start getting the house ready to sell!!! YEAH!!!

[skyc6]

Yes, it was me! I have so enjoyed not working this summer, more so than others, and I am looking forward to it, too. Working on selling this house right now, and then TV!!
One month left for you is not too long!

[pzjay]

Ditto & aye to dawg mayorship! (Does he even know he's nominated???:22yikes: )
We'll have to have a TOTV/Sanibel luncheon when everyone is there! Of course anyone else who wants to join would also be more than welcome!!:BigApplause:

[skyc6]

Sounds great! It may be a bit before I get there, so hold down the fort! I have a house to sell first, but it is listed and we are trying!

[pzjay]

Lots of luck and prayers being sent your way! Fingers and toes crossed too!

Peg:highfive:

[angiefox10]

You KNOW I'm sending out positive thoughts your way!!! :thumbup:

[skyc6]

I appreciate all the thought, prayers, fingers, and toes! Many thanks to both of you and all others. Looking forward to getting together with all of you as soon as possible! Sanibel should be great fun!

This dawg would like to live in a house like that. :1rotfl:

Beautiful home. Best wishes.

[zummy]

Our cement pad was poured today. It seems like it was slow going compared to others we have seen get started since we signed the contract on 7/16. But we still expect to close by 10/4 since the Villages claims they never miss a closing date. Ya all let me know your lot numbers and I'll send you photos on this site. We plan on being down daily to watch our progress. We are lot 13 on Bradford loop.

Our salesman is planning on running an article in the "Villages Happenings", a flyer salesman from the villages produce. I'll share it when it comes out.
Their dog Marley is heading the article and using our dog Rusty as his pal building in Sanibel. Should be cute.

[angiefox10]

Hey sky... You know that view you paid for???? It looks like there is stuff blocking it!!! :1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl:

That's OK... I'll make them move it!

[skyc6]

Angie--you mean that grey stuff? Tom left this morning for the Villages, and it is the materials for the building on the house next door. No worries! But glad you have my back!!:D
Zummy--I sent Tom with your name and phone number, so he may call to see if you might be interested in meeting for a drink. Just didn't want you to think a stranger was calling!:22yikes:

[jfmajer]

We received our first pictures of our pad that was poured. That really made our day. We can't be there right now...so this is the next best thing!!!!

I know... That's the weird thing!!! Having a home built and not being there to "watch it". :22yikes:

[zummy]

We will look forward to Tom's call.

Here is a photo of our pad poured today and of lot 15 and 17 with the block up.

[zummy]

Apparently my photos are to large a file to download. I have to try to minimize

[zummy]

Ive got photos of lot 15 and 17. If its your lot and you want a photo, send me a pm with your e-mail address and I will send it.

[Orps1]

Love your home, thanks for your pictures, exciting to see our neigborhood grow!!!!!!!!

[skyc6]

Zummy,
I got a call from Tom while he was at the lot. He sent me some pics via his phone, and one was of your lot with the foundation poured! He said there was quite a lot of building all around us, so I am sure it is fun to watch!

[zummy]

Lots,12,13,14,15 and 17 are being built

[skyc6]

Tom told me a couple came by to look at Lot 15 while he was there. They are friends of the owners and the owners are in Sweden right now, but are coming to the Villages, to live on Lot 15.

[GaDawg]

Yes, he will Peg. I think we will have to call him the Mayor!

Gees guys, I am gone out of town for 2 days and all of a sudden you've nominated me for mayor!!! Holy cow! The only thing I know about politics is what I heard years ago. "Regarding the issues, some of my friends are fer it, and some agin it. As for me....I stand by my friends!"

Now...that is very political speak, Mr Mayor!:thumbup: Think this is shaping up to be a very good village! Others would argue that they all are! There's that "some are fer it and some are agin it" again!:D

[angiefox10]

He's already smarter then most politicians!!!! :highfive:

You guys just crack me up!!! lol What a Village group this is going to be. Chicago speak and southern drawl. Now that's going to be fun to witness. Met some folks from Nashville closing on their house over on Bradford loop this week. Oh yeah, and I've been to Chicago, once. Can I join in the Sanibel/Illinois club or will I have to pay extra dues? :D

[angiefox10]

I think you would be welcome in ANY club!!!! :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

[Oren L Miller]

The Mayor doesn't have to pay dues. And you are an honor to know and that makes you an honary Illinoisan. :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

Illinoisan???? Huh???

You just made that up!!! Do I need to teach you how to spell???

[Oren L Miller]

I can spell the words I make up! :highfive::posting::thumbup:

[skyc6]

I think Sanibel is going to be a fun Village! I just can't wait until I can be there and walk around all the streets and meet the peeps!
GaDawg=you'll make a great mayor. Get your gavel ready.
My husband, Tom, is down there now checking things out, and it seems the building is happening like crazy!

You guys are still cracking me up....lol. mayor=Not! Just a humble peep am I. The building is truly going crazy. We did not count but there were several=more than 5, new floors where there was only dirt a week ago. We will be back in the bubble this evening and will surely be back down checking out the progress on the Dawg house on Friday. Maybe we'll cross paths with Tom while he is there.

[skyc6]

GaDawg--What is your lot# on Baker?

[GaDawg]

GaDawg--What is your lot# on Baker?

Our lot is 175-75 on the right side of the street.

[HelenLCSW]

Anyone on Silk Tree Terrace?

[notlongnow]

Dawg,
The plan you picked is my favorite plan so far. I have only seen them on line but the Iris has everything I am looking for. I hope that plan or something like it is still around when I start picking a plan.
Good luck on yours.

GaDawg:

Our house is a stretched Iris. We had the lanai stretched out another 4 ft. and stretched the garage and front br another 2ft.

Can you stretch a litttle more to make room for me? :)

Seriously. A beautiful home and you must be soooooooo excited.

Best wishes.

Has there been any construction in the next Designer section over which has the entry street of Asher Path? Bought in that development.

[kathyzapp]

Has there been any construction in the next Designer section over which has the entry street of Asher Path? Bought in that development.

Most of the houses in Section 2 are models. I think there are a few occupied houses. Not much building going on.

We make settlement in Section 2 on Sept. 30.

[Judy n Ron]

Anyone driving by Bradford Loop will see our "Lily" being built. We are Lot 1 Section 175, right next to the wall. Our sales rep just sent us a dozen or more pics and we're coming up for a visit this Sunday. Scheduled to close 11/11/11!!! Busy packing, packing and more packing.

[zummy]

I uploaded a photo of our home at 705 Bradford loop. Closing is 10/4
