Gilchrist newbies
Hi! We are new to TOTV and to Gillyland. My wife, Susie, met Andy and Wendy (and their precious pup who had just flown in from overseas) in early December at Brandenton and again at Brownwood. They were very sweet and offered great advice!
Our design meeting is Jan. 22nd for our lot at 210.117. We have read the blogs regarding design meetings and found them to be very beneficial. We feel so much more confident about the process, and we thank you one and all! We will be arriving Sunday Jan. 20th and will stay through Saturday. Besides the design meeting, we plan to tour Gillyland, meet with the mayor, his administrative staff, and as many of our new neighbors as possible. Looking forward to our trip and meeting all of our future neighbors! |
:pepper2::pepper2::pepper2:Welcome to The Villages. We spent New Years Eve with the folks from Gillyland. They are a great group of people. Best wishes on your upcoming design meeting as well. You will find a great deal,of very good information on this site too. Congratulations on becoming a Gilly!

:welcome: to Gillyland Bogo and Susie! as a fellow Gilly I can confirm that it is indeed a wonderful neighborhood rife with the very best people TV has to offer! We are a very friendly group (as is ALL of TV) and I am quite certain you will undoubtably know you have made a great decision in your choice! Welcome and we look forward to meeting you both very soon:beer3:

Welcome, where will you be? We will be on Hackberry sometime after 3/1! We sure agree, everyone we have met are gracious, fun and, well, we cannot wait! Good luck with the design appointment!

We just reserved a lot on Bureau Path in Gilchrist. We are from NC so we just put our house up for sale. We also have a home here that we're renting out through April so we need to sell that one too! Not sure when our design meeting is yet...what blog are you referring to that would help with design questions.

Went to the search section on the tool bar, typed in design meeting and several threads popped up. Very informative, TOTV is a great resource! Let me know if you have any problems. Good luck. |
I just did design. forget the terror installed over years of hearing how horrible it is to build. It just aint so at TV. You will be treated with the patience of Job and wonderful consultants with years of experience. In segments of about half a day each I rode with the designer in a golf cart to models to consider stretches and possibilities for the elevation, then to consider kitchen and bathroom options, then cabinetry and fixture choices, and colors for paint, tile, etc. At the end, you receive samples and printed pix of what you have chosen, go over the specs tooth and nail. Then there's a hallelujah smiley meeting with the sales agent and designer, who may actually be genuinely interested in your satisfaction. And after you sign and pay, they invite you to contact them for any questions and they stay in touch. I kept expecting to be abandoned after someone's role ended, but TV is above above average. Expect excellence and you will not be surprised.

Millie, our english pup is looking forward to meeting you as well as Susie again when you get here after the 20th, send us a PM and we will meet up for a drink etc :crap2: Good luck with the design and remember to do all the stuff that you want, that cannot be changed afterwards, like the stretches! - too late once it is built. :pray: |
New to Gilchrist

If you have a read through the "New to Golchrist" thread (it's quite a long one), there is all sorts of useful design guidance in it and you will see lots of people who have either just arrived in the area, or due too in the near future, like you guys and bogo2128 and lady. :crap2: If you have any specific questions, just ask, this forum is excellent with advice. Look forward to meeting you when you arrive :crap2: |
I am moving down from texas on 20 Jan as well and will also be on hackberry.

Welcome to all of the new GillyLanders! I know I'm prejudiced but I think that we have the absolute best neighborhood in TV. Please get on the spreadsheet that's managed by A-4 Skyhawk so everyone will know where you are and how to contact you. Also, please stop by the mayor's residence for a hello shout!
|
:welcome:Newbies! I also am new, having closed on my home on Amherst Way on Dec 5th! It is a wonderful neighborhood and we have had several get-togethers and meet and greets already! So jump on in, and we'll leave the porch light on for you! Can't wait for you all to come on home and introduce yourselves! Rusty (aka the Mayor) is correct in his assumption of a great neighborhood! We rock! Welcome aboard:wave:

Hi,
My husband and I just bought a lot on Eastfield Path and can't wait for our design meeting on February 20. We worked hard to get our Ohio home ready to put on the market when we return there on April 1. Amazing how much junk our basement held but it forced us to get rid of things we should have parted with years ago. We're renting a home in Ashland until the end of March. Gilchrist looks like it will be a beautiful Village. Barbara |
Welcome

Every single person we have met here in Gillyland has been really nice and friendly, you will love it. If you are not on the neighbourhood spreadsheet, PM A4-Skyhawk with your details and let us know when you get here so that we can make you welcome. :2excited: |

Welcome, sounds like you are a bit behind us but ahead of us on the "how do you get rid of the junk".......we are currently in Medina. We close on 2/22 in Gilchrist on Amherst Way!
|
Thank you for the warm welcome. We love the life down here and have never been busier. We can't wait until we can be permanent residents of TV.

Where are you on Amherst Way? We are 210.117. |
New to 209 Amherst Way
My husband Jim and I are excited to be able to say that we are going to join the Gilly gang. We already reached out to A-4 to get on the spreadsheet and found out that the Flinstones will be our next door neighbor!
We are moving from Charlotte, NC but are originally both from Ohio. Sounds like we will have alot of new friends to debate ACC, SEC, Big Ten sports with and enjoy the good life. We come down for our design session in mid February. Hopefully we can meet people as we walk around looking at all the construction going on. Betsy and Jim |
Moving to Gilchrist
We bought a lot on Bureau Path in Gilchrist and will have our design meeting in late feb or march. We live in eastern NC (Greenville) home of the ECU Pirates. We can talk NC football/basketball with you. We already own and rent out a home in Piedmont in the north section but decided to build in the south where everything is new...including the people. What brought you to the Villages & what model are you building?
Regards, Karin & Ken |
Where do I find the spreadsheet? 211.46 will be our new address......Gilchrist village
Karin from NC |

A4 Skyhawk is the spreadsheet keeper!! Our design is Tuesday!! Good luck to you, you'll find all the help and info regarding the design meeting on TOTV. Great site and wonderful people! |
I had the pleasure of meeting Bobby & Susie (Bogo2128) this afternoon for a short period of time. They were on a break from design and decided to locate GillyLand City Hall!! :1rotfl::1rotfl:
Extremely nice people and they will fit in marvelously with the rest of the Gilly's. Fortunately, they will be not otherwise occupied and will be at the GillyBration at Evan Prairie CC tomorrow night. This place just keeps getting better and better! :MOJE_whot::MOJE_whot: Hopefully YankeeQuilter and ChiefRose will also be there! :BigApplause: Oh yea, Bogo is building a Zinnia too. :shocked: |
Hi Gilchristians! Jeff and I built at 3135 Eastfield Path, in the first cul-de-sac to the right, and we are off site owners right now. Loved reading all of the welcoming messages from Gillyland folks and look forward to meeting you all when we come down at the end of March!
In the meantime, can you tell me if there is anyone (maybe the Mayor) that sends out a Gillyland activity e-mail - - - we'd like to be in the know even though we aren't there. We'd also like to pass it along to our renters so they can be part of the community too. Thanks very much!! |
