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.

Congratulations! and welcome to Gilchrist. Come on over to our other Gilchrist thread to catch up with lots of useful information. And while your here through March, be sure and stop in the neighborhood for introductions. We love new neighbors.

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!

Buckeyephan 01-14-2013 06:32 PM

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

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!!

Hi Pam,

I'm your neighbor on Amherst Way. We just moved in January 14. Email rj900@comcast.net with your information and join the spreadsheet. It's fun to follow the progress of our neighborhood. I sent Chris some pictures of her house and yours taken from our lanai. She will probably forward them to you. Hurry up and get here so you can join the fun! We are love, love, loving it!!!

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!




What a relief! Upon our arrival, we met A4 and his lovely wife. Let me just say because of these two awesome folks, we went into our design meeting completely prepared. We copied many of their brilliant ideas....boy, do we owe them!
More details of our Gillyland trip and design meetings are on the other Gilly thread, the one started by our mayor!

We will be in Gilchrist 210.86 close March 7
 
We are Bill and Donna Lasher and just sent in contract for a home on Euclid Terrace. We are SO excited to be part of your group and want to be added to any festivities for the group. We close on Mar 7 and will be there the week of March 18 for walkthrough, etc. I would love some advise on:
1. Lawn service - could possibly use same as some neighbors
2. Blind vendors - ours does not have blinds and this is ASAP
3. Cable/Internet/Phone serivice. Who do you suggest?\
4. Home watching service for the Gilchrist 210 area.

Any suggestions for the move-in and walkthrough that I need to know. Thanks in advance.

Look forward to some great neighbors and parties.... We were the ones that posted the lot on Pinellas, however the model became available that we want so we changed. I ALWAYS wanted to be with this fun group!!!.

Welcome to 210, we are 210.117. Our house is being built and we won't be frogs until May?

Email rj900@comcast.net to get on the spreadsheet, this way you will be kept update on the events and who your new neighbors are!

Suggest you use the search box to find your answers and/or do a new thread. You can also check the other Gillyland thread (New villagers in Gilchrist), to see what our group is up to.

Good luck and hope to meet you two soon!!

Hi - we close 3/1 so have not seen them yet, but we were impressed with the quality and price of the shutters we have ordered from Rick at 48 hour blinds. He brought us to a house that he had installed them on and we loved it! He is hoping to have them in at closing or that weekend. We are going to try Bright side/brightpath ... for the tv internet bundle, again, cannot recommend as we have never had it!
We are 209- 96 on Hackberry, looking forward to meeting you.
