The issue is not your neighbors window it's yours, if it is located within 5' it must be tempered glass.

If you want the cost estimates I received on some of these things let me know

Anytime you want to make an exterior change you have to get the blessings of the architectural review committee.

Look on page 7 of the Villages telephone book for an explanation of the ARC.

Suggestion...live here a few months before doing anything!!!

I hope you have a TOTV party in your backyard when you get it finished. It's gonna be a happening place!

I am RSVPing yes!

How about those speakers where the colored lights flash with the music.

And to think that all I want are a few light up animated pink flamingos.

Hey - I give good party.....seriously, when I get settled, I'll post an open house....you bring the wine, I'll smoke the chicken and good veggies on the grill with olive oil...some garlic bread...lettuce and fruit salad...if we have musicians..bring your guitars...or a bad version of Lady of Spain on accordian...a group soak in the hot tub....maybe some big pads of paper to play "The Exquisite Corpse" (google it..a fun and revealing art game). I can't wait 'til I move down. Summer vacation 24/7...365!

Don't forget to put in a cat door out to the bird cage for the wonder cat.:highfive:

I think your neighbors are going to wish you had a barking dog.:beer3:

Patty Cakes -- I'll get my neighbors' too drunk to notice.

Best way to keep them from complaining is to invite them!!!!!!

And as said get 'em smashed

I just ran the idea passed Rada, the wonder cat...she flipped on her back and meowed....a sign of feline approval...or is it a request for a belly scratch...or maybe...both.

Geewiz -

Where in St James is your new CYV? I closed on mine on Black Oak Lane on Sept 5th. Personally, i would LOVE sitting under a large birdcage with colored Chinese lamps, soft blue green LEDS, and herbs. Gosh.....sounds just like what i did in the 60's!! Please add me to your party list!!

Oh my, I am seeing this place becoming a TV rec center for the former hippie element. What fun!

Yep, I took that trip in the late 60's too.
