Even still, wherever you end up in TV you are always welcome to join the Gilly-Fern club!!! OMG! Next moth-how utterly exciting! After reading so many of your wonderful posts, it will be a pleasure to meet you! Hurry home!!!

Shcisamax, did you send info to A-4 for the Gilly-Fern group? If not we need to get you and yours on there! I believe I see a lot of parties in our future!! As soon as I close in Dec, I'm looking you all up!! See you in a few!

Don't you dare move to Gilchrist from Fernandina

You'll be amazed at how nice us Fern's are. (P.S. . . those Gilly's are a lot of fun though, aren't they?)

I am wondering when they will pull out their cars for tailgating. That is the most village spirit ever. I mean Ferns are nice and hospitable but I didn't have anyone bringing me a beer. Wow. Gillies are taking on a whole new image for welcoming in. BTW: Beware of the water lady who will arrive as you move in telling you your water needs fixing and wants to sell you the "system". DO NOT OFFER HER A BEER.

Rusty and Janice,
It is now 2:15 in TV and I hope you have had a nice lunch, a few cocktails and are now celebrating your new home! Hope it went off without a hitch!

Hey HotRod!! When we were at the house this morning you still had a bare concrete slab. When we went back about 5:15pm you had walls. Making progress!!!

Congrats

WVMtnBoy · 09-27-2012, 05:15 PM

Hi Calc!!! Since yesterday was a no go I thought I'd check on progress this morning before we did our walk through. At about 9:30am there was still nothing. I decided to check again this afternoon at about 5:15pm and there is a crew surveying and marking for the footers. I'm guessing that you will have sand moved tomorrow sometime. I'll continue to keep and eye on it for you guys and get pics as they go. In the meantime...enjoy a few pics of your survey crew! Progress is being made!!

PS - The house beside you is going up like gangbusters!

Hi Trish! Please, please, oh please pick a lot in the 209 Section of Gilchrist. I promise that you haven't had this much fun since you were a kid!!! We'd love to have ya and we have to gain numbers on the Fernandina's in the FernGilly spreadsheet!

Hi A-4!!! Let's kick the tires and light the fires my friend!!!

Hey Everyone! Now that I've got my photographic/neighborhood watch duties out of the way I can sort of recap the day. We met the builder (Steve West) and our super agent (Jason Kranz) at the house this morning at 10:00 for the walk through. Took about an hour and we noticed a few minor things such as paint touch up, etc. Steve went over each system of the house with us and gave us an owners sheet to record any deficiencies we might have. We will call him in about 2 weeks to give him the list. Bottom line is we are very satisfied with the house and the builder.

We left the house and went by HotRods and CalcTeachers to check on progress, take pictures, etc. On to the closing dept (had to stop at Starbucks on the way) and began closing promptly at 11:30. About 1 1/2 hours later we emerged with house keys, mailbox keys, gate passes and Villages ID cards. I can now prove that I am a frog!!! The closing went very smoothly and the only problem I had with the closing agent was when she tried to pry the closing check out of my hand!!!

We then went back to BestBuy to pick up the tv and buy a speaker dock for the iPod. Back to the condo, loaded up the back of the Expedition and back to the house. WHEW!

Now comes the process of moving out of the condo and emptying the storage unit. Our main furniture won't be here for another 3 weeks so we're going to take out time doing the move. Deliveries to the new house start tomorrow with accent painting being done next Wednesday and attic stairs and epoxy covering on the garage on the 15th.

We are extremely pleased with the whole process and really would do it all over again.

Hope all of you are well and that the waiting doesn't get too hard.

I've got two lots on the watch list...HotRod and CalcTeacher. Anyone else want in on the photos/neighborhood watch list???

Hi Shcisamax!!! Us Gillys are offering incentives to relocate to Section 209 if you're interested...rofl. I don't know if we're any nicer (probably not) but I think we might be a tad bit crazier that the rest...rofl.

Atta Boy, WV! You are doing an outstanding job of neighborhood photographer

It is so amazing to see our neighborhood being built and I couldn't be happier with the results! Think of all the great memories we will be making soon! That is exciting and amazing to me to think that at this point in life I can feel so darned giddy!!!

Hurry home everyone so we can get the party started!

CalcTeacher · 09-27-2012, 06:01 PM

WV: Congrats on your successful closing...and thanks for the pics! We keep saying we're not going to come down (from Virginia) during the build, but I bet we end up making a weekend trip at some point. I'm not sure we can wait until closing! That house next to us went up overnight...do you have any idea who bought it? There's also what appears to be a finished one directly across the street from me . . .any idea who's there?

Again, many congrats to you and Janice. And while I'm sure it was difficult letting go of that check, what you bought today (and the neighborhood you bought it in) will pay you back ten-fold.

Lisa
