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!

There is a mayor of Gilchrist? Where do you find him/her? Why do they call it Gillyland? So much to learn!

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 the friendliest neighbourhood in TV.

For;
1. We used Deans, happy with their service so far
2. We used 48 Hours, good price and fitted them for us on closing day!
3. We use Brighthouse, had a couple of minor problems but they fixed them straight away
4. Don't use that yet, but we have great neighbours!

kind regards
His Worship the Mayor's appointed Head of Administration (both jobs unsalaried, but an occasional bottle of Corona welcome);

Hey...Jimbo12! Do you have any pictures of your floor to share yet???

We had our design meeting last week and signed the papers yesterday. Closing will be May 9. Hooray!!!! We're building at 3052 Eastfield Path and see that some of you will be our neighbors. The whole process went very smoothly. Colleen, our agent, and Pam, the designer, were wonderful. It only took 2 days plus an hour or so choosing the granite. We are renting until the end of March so will be able to see some of the construction. Can't wait to make the move here.

I hope you've found the "New Villagers in Gilchrist" thread where the "In Crowd" is hanging out

I just added you to the spread sheet. Welcome to the Hood

Did you have Pam Sherwood? Me too! She was so very nice and helpful! If you are here thru March, come and join us at the Driveway party on Thursday. It is at Dave and Meredith Yorkston's, 3043 Amherst Way about 5PM! Hope you can join us!

HI All,
We close on our home on Defoe the first week in April and come mid May to check it out and buy furnishings. We'll be splitting our time between Minnesota and Florida. Can't wait! Sue & Dave

[Dafoe]

HI
I'm trying to get oriented to all of the new street addresses. We close on the 3rd of April, but don't come down for our keys until May. We'll be dividing our time between our Minnesota home and our new place on Defoe. Dave & I look forward to meeting our new neighbors! Sue
