Happinow:

You have earned a good rest. Your home will be beautiful after you are finished.

I always enjoy posts that will teach me something about TV so thank you for posting. There is an old saying:

Experience is the best teacher but wisdom is learning for someone else's experience.

Thank you for posting your experience. :)

I think we should all stop by at the same time and have a party when they move in! What a suprise that would be for them! I hope I am there when it happens.....Her excitement is contagious. And beautiful.

:agree:

I have enjoyed following your adventures in home purchasing. Thank you for sharing the experience. Hope you can relax a bit before your trip back North.

Thank you for following! I hope I've helped those who are going to build their home. I had fun writing.

Thanks for all of your well wishes. We ran over to look at our lot today and as luck would have it we got to meet the neighbors on either side of us. We really enjoyed meeting them. I think they have been looking outside frequently to see if any cars appear on the lot. It was funny because they both came out at the same time to see if we were the ones building. I had hopped to meet them before we went home. I think we have a good crew! You should have seen their eyes light up when we told them we were putting in a pool. They said they knew where the parties are going to be. :a040: they made us feel so welcome. We did apologize for all of the dust that will be generated over the next few months. Off to get a bite to eat and settle down. Thanks to all of you once again....Kathy

Glad you got to meet your neighbors. That would make me feel a lot better in that situation, as my curiosity would have been killing me.

I'm so excited simply by the prospect of visiting for the first time in October, that it keeps me up at night. I can only imagine what you've been going through and it's very kind of you to share with all of us. I'm excited for you!

Safe travels back to my neck of the woods!

It's a crap shoot for who you get for neighbors but I thought we'd get great ones because there are so many nice people here. We can't wait to move. My brother is moving to VT on Tuesday! You will absolutely love your visit and won't want to go back home. It is truly addicting! Enjoy your stay.

They go line by line and item by item, from outlets to door knobs. Of course we made some changes yet again to our design, albeit minor it took lots of time. We also re toured 2 model homes to make sure my paint and lighting choices were what I wanted. As everyone here said, if you make any change after you sign, it's 250.00. We sign the final contract tomorrow and our closing date in May 9th. :a040: tomorrow we will be doing some odds and ends and maybe we will have time to relax a bit! We head back to Upstate NY on Sunday. Hope these posts were helpful. It's been a blast writing them! And,
for you curious cats who want to know what our business is??? We've been in the antique business for years and have invested wisely. See you all in May.


Hi, I'm from Queensbury too! Do you know Ed and Beth Sterling? They are moving to The Villages too.

I knew you had the CSA Cash for Coins shop on Upper Glen Street, cashforgold.net but I wasn't aware of your Antique business.

Just where is your antique store? I'm not interested in selling any of my gold, but I sure would love to see some of your antiques!

Fascinating website! We are not familiar with that line of business. We have seen articles about "cash for gold parties". Could you kindly enlighten us on it?

Oh Dear
I guess that answers the "what business are you in" question.

The name doesn't ring a bell. We are all lucky to be retiring in the villages!

Antique coins and gold I figure.

Wow. I am not a funny guy. My latest attempt at humor proves it according to your attack. What business are you in? The none of your business. Sorry, I thought it was funny and it wasn't pointed at anyone either. Your remark about being from a foreign country was interesting. Sorry to have riled you. Good day.

What kind of business are you in?

The none of your business!!! :1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl:

Sorry Posh 08.... I'm blond! Takes some time for me to catch up!!! :smiley:

I post my events for two reasons....one is because I know that some of you are following me on here and are interested in my progress. The second reason is because I think posting what it's like to come to TV and build is very valuable info for the next people who will do the same. I just may post that I did something that they forgot to do and I hope that would be helpful. It's a long and sometimes stressful process, so if I can help anyone along that's my goal. Plus we are just so darned excited that we just can't hide it! :a040:

Thanks for posting your progress because I am taking notes. It is very helpful. Nancy

You can sleep in the guest room!
 
We couldn't find the Master Bedroom set that we wanted but like you we did find a guest room set we liked. We had it delivered before we came down and slept in the guest room until we were able to find a Master set we liked!

It was kind of strange since we used the master bath, but it did allow us time to find the master set we really loved!

Don't rush yourself.....only but what you love!
