Hi Trish and Steve,
Another new pair of neighbours to meet, we will be over from the end of November, please call, the fridge will be full of cold beer and wine!

We have a house on the market in France and the market there is flat so it is not just the Uk and the US, but it will sell eventually we're sure.

Come Xmas there will be quite a team there to help our 'Mayor' to keep track of all the new builds, hand out the advice and organise the parties.

Hope to see you both soon

Best regards
Andy, Wendy & Millie

Okay everyone! Sorry for the absence yesterday but had to pick up the boss at the airport and the mother required a lot of attendtion...lol.

First is the good news, Twinspin has a foundation and walls. I was down there early this afternoon and they were filling in the top holes of the block in preparation for the roof joists. I didn't see those on site but you can bet they will be here quickly!

Congrats!!!

You guys are doing wonderfully. I got to meet you mom & dad Sunday when they were taking pics for you because you were "complaining about not getting pictures"...rofl. I went back over this afternoon and got a few more pics. The rough-in painting has been done and the workers were painting the pool deck. It looks really nice!!!

Can't wait until you get here Friday!!!

You guys are also doing wonderfullly. All of the drywall has been completed and most of the doors have been installed. I'd say that the painting is not far behind!

I don't know what I was thinking when you asked about homes on either side of you (obviously I wasn't) but you have two very nice homes on either side that are just a little bit behind you in the construction scheme!

Rusty: just wanted to say that I'm really happy your political office isn't being contested today...I hope you know by now that you're Mayor For Life! My parents said you're really really nice. Can't wait to meet you this weekend...I'll do details by email!

Just logged in after checking election results and all I can say is WOWEE The neighborhood is really becoming a neighborhood! Lots of progress and I am SO happy you all are catching up to me! And Twin-you finally have walls after what must seem an eternity to you. Seems Junction is waiting for stucco soon, and Calc the birdcage!!! OMG! What will we have to look forward to when all this is done? Wait-did I hear PARTY
Seriously, it is looking awesome and I am quite certain Rusty is ready for the block(s) to fill up! I close 4 weeks from tomorrow! so anxious to get my butt down there and see what it's all about! Looking forward to spending some quality time with all of you and to see everyone's homes!

You're parents just don't know me very well...

They seemed very nice and I'm glad they're also keeping tabs on the house for you.

We can't wait to meet you and Ed and, of course, Cooper when he gets here!!!

Please, please, please keep us advised of your plans for the coming week!!!

Thanx, Rusty! It's weird. Every day you look forward to seeing your little bit of progress and then one day it just stops! OW! With 4 weeks to close, it kind of makes you wonder what they could be doing over there! Can't wait to see it (and you too) in person! Leaving Chicago in 3 weeks!

Hey all, I know we are not Gillys, we are in Sanibel, (a quick golf cart away), but our next trip is official! I just made our reservations for New Years. We will arrive in TV about 1:30 PM on New Years Eve Day and staying for another 8 days. We just left this past Saturday and can't wait to go back! Hope to meet many of you on New Years! Rich and Linda

My husband and I also met your parents on Sunday. We had to take a sneak look at your house. You have such a beautiful view from your back deck that we never even went into the house!

We will be building in Fernandina next year. We live about an hour away from The Villages so we make a monthly trip to see the changes to the landscape. We find it amazing to see the changes from month to month.

We hope that you enjoy your new home, it can't be long before you settle in.

Rich and Linda! That is awesome news and I believe many of us "spreadsheeters" will be there at that time! Can anyone say parties? what a great time for all of us to meet up and have a great time together! Can't wait to see you!!!

Thanx so much for the pictures--my cousins sent me a couple and if I could figure out how to post them to this site I would--can't seem to move them from my email to here I can't believe the progress--I guess when they promise a house in 10 weeks they don't mess around I only wish we could be there to see it happenening in person.

All the houses look great and ditto for us as we can't wait to get down there also--just checking on flights now--January can't come fast enough. I'm excited for the walls and now comes the fun part of what's next as I'm sure that's what you've already went through. Better get down to lend a helping hand to Rusty.
