Interesting comment, my wife just said that if we were shopping north of 466, she would probably not be interested, the two areas are very different and underscores an earlier comment I made about the camaraderie there is in a village where we are all sharing the the same issues not only now but as mods R made in the future, I don't think you can find that in a 10, 20 or older village.

I have now spent real time driving around the new villages they are IMO more alive....activity level is sooo much higher.

Do U guys see or feel that?

I think you are right in the sense that because everything (and everyone) is so new, the excitement level is higher. Everyone is making a change in their lives, meeting new people and starting a new lifestyle! Plus seeing an entire community being built up is something I certainly have never experienced before. Plus we all are basically in the same situation which makes everyone start as equals.

I totally agree with you guys! My wifes aunt & uncle have been here for 5 years and their advice has always been the same...build! Not that the other areas aren't nice because they most definitely are but you're basically going into a neighborhood where friendships, golf 4somes, etc have already been established and it's more difficult to work your way in. That being said, I think its a good idea to keep this thread alive! Nobody's going to be left in the dust and hotrod is right in that new neighbors will be a welcome sight for all of us! I will warn everyone though...from personal experience the most difficult part of this process is once ground is broken to the closing. You see daily progress and you start chomping at the bit to get into your new digs!!! I'll post pics of the new place when we get in on Thursday. Have a great week everyone! And don't worry Schisamax...my wife loves red wine...lol! And, what I really want is one of those fancy "Jimmy Buffett" marguerita machines...lol

Don't you guys dare more to another village!!!! We've got too much invested in you!!! We want you here!

[WVMtnBoy]

While out running around today I just happened to go by the new neighborhood and guess what I found???? Construction has started on Gilchrist 209-25 which just happens to belong to HotRodGirl! Well, me being the gracious neighbor that I am....I just had to take a few pics and share with everyone. Hope you enjoy!!!

PS - I've even had to create a new file on my computer for her house pics so I can keep 'em straight!

I saw on the spreadsheet from A-4 that you guys start building on the 26th??? If that's correct do you want pics from day 1 of the build??? It's not like I don't go over there every day or so...

[CalcTeacher]

WVMtnBoy: That would be AWESOME! And something tells me I already know what you charge...let's just hope it's not one per picture! Hahaha!

[Rbgold]

Yay HotRodGirl!! And so it begins....

[Twinspin60]

You're one great neighbor and those pictures of Hotrodgirl's new build looks great--we are so so ready to become permanent residents as Ohio is so dark and dreary right now--this weekend we had lake effect hail--way too early. Now about that Margaritta machine--our good friends up at Lake Erie where we boated for many years had one and we managed many a weekend to put it to good use Keep an eye on our lot for us--#54 and hope to see you soon.

WVMtnBoy ain't cheap. I hope I've attached a picture of what I'm bringing to The Villages next month to pay my bill to him.

Hi Twin! Where is your lot located? When do you build? Want pics? rofl...
I've still got my eye on the margarita maker. The only problem I'm having is deciding on the single pitcher or the triple pitcher style! A-4 Skyawk has started a spreadsheet for all of us so we can keep in contact. If you want added (and who wouldn't!) PM A-4 and I'm sure he'll be glad to add you. Please keep in touch! My wife and I are from WV so I know what you mean about dark and dreary. I have to say that it's in the 80's and sunny in our little slice of heaven. In the meantime consider your sand lot under the watchful eye of WVMtnBoy!!!
