WELL Good for you, Miss Kelsie. I will never forget when we purchased. I kept thinking. What did we just do?

I know you will be happy here. Good luck on your house.

We just settled on our new home, May 14th.....we are loving the life style. You will be so happy here. So much to do, so little time. Good luck on the sale of your home.

Sounds like you did what we did. Bought the property and now have to sell your current home. We're trying to get our house on the market now. Hopefully, it will be ready by July 1.

Congratulations on your purchase! TV is a fabulous place, can't describe it, people have to see and experience the adventure for themselves. We are new, too, closing mid-June and so excited!

Good luck with selling your home, it will all work out. See you in TV sometime soon!

CONGRATULATIONS to All! How wonderful and exciting! We just went through it but we sold our home up north first. We put all our stuff into three PODS and came down and moved into our rental. We hit-the-ground-running looking at spec houses and pre-owns. After only one week, we decided to build in Buttonwood. We move in at the end of July. All the very best to you!

The PODS were 8 x 8 x 16. Our need for 3 wasn't volume...it was weight. My DH has lots of tools and shop equipment which needed divided up because of the weight. We originally ordered two as we did sell a lot of our furniture and it would have fit albeit for the weight. We ended up with 3 not-completely-full PODS but peace of mind that they didn't exceed the weight requirements. One word of advice...when they tell you an 8x8x16 will hold 10,000 pounds, that is the gross weight. You can actually only put in 7,500 pounds...or they call you and bring it back. Yes...that was our personal "oops" and did cause some very anxious moments. Take heart though that they told this "never" happens but then again, my husband is not your normal Villager.

Yup...it was, if I can brag on him a little bit. Now, he is looking forward to setting up his new shop. This is a picture of his work bench ready to load in the PODS:

OK, what am I doing wrong? I can't see the picture of the shop. Am I overlooking something?

It is early. Have you had your coffee yet?

Yes, I've had coffee - two 24 ozers. And, what pictures? I can usually figure these things out, but this has got me buffaloed.

Never mind, I figured it out. That's only 1 bench.
