I am leaving the same day, Jimbo! But have to stop in Boynton first to pack up that house. I am sure we are all full of anticipation! You to begin your design and build and me to move in I definitely see some parties in December and January as more and more of us arrive!
Good luck with the packing!
And Calc, you should have gone right in! My door is always open to neighbors and friends! Hope you saw some good stuff from the threshold...

Default Construction Increase

The amount of construction in both 209 and 210 has increased dramatically in the last month. 210 seems to be flowing with "spec" homes while 209 is filling up with homes sold to fill lot sales. The dust from dirt and brick cutting is everywhere and the noise begins at 6:30 am. Thank God for the glass sliders we put in on the lanai.....cuts the noise and dust out dramatically.

Default Construction dust

Sorry about the dust, Bob, but most of us on Amherst should be completed soon. However, my neighbors begin their build about the time I close! Guess I will have that for a couple of months, but we are all in the same boat and have created our own dust in the process! Soon the building will be mostly complete and life will good! I know those who build first are having to deal with more, and I will likely be in the thick of it as well. But we all anticipated the construction for some time. The interior lots have a year to begin their builds if they so wish! So all in good time! I think we all knew what we were getting into and the big gain here is all the awesome new neighbors and friends we will have the opportunity to know! Lots of discoveries to be made together as well! So perhaps you can help us with dealing with the dust? I am sure by this time you have some good insight!

The dust is part of the fun, it indicates growth and the coming of new friends.

Take a look at 215 for fast construction they built a zillion patio villas in few months along with 100 other cottage & designers.

I love it, I guess I'll hose off the dust that the rain don't wash away, no big deal.

Yes, I concur. Just think: if you're spending months and months tolerating dust and dirt you also saved a lot of money because you bought when houses were cheaper! So there's a postive for you!

We may be the last of the dust generators on the GC side of Amherst Way. Design meetings 19 Dec. I believe the home to our left is almost completed. Not sure about the home to our right. Would love to se a pic of Amherst Way with all the new homes built since out last visit if anyone is out that way.

Not to sound stupid, but how, if the lots are not yet released, are there three sales in 210?

Really looking forward to meeting everyone.
So excited(even Millie seems to know something is happening)

I don't think any lots R going to be released for buyers to build their own homes.

All these sites are spec pre-builts U will see a few a week added and then tun up as sold, but it is a house that appears sold not a lot.

If you look at 215, the unmapped are all specs. They show the lots in 210 as white, that means they are building what they want.

If you want a lot look don't look at 210, U will see another unit open soon but perhaps not, they may want to stop custom builds.

We were concerned about the dust aspect of all the building work, so we went to see the Dr to see if it could be a health problem and you will all be pleased to hear that in his professional opinion, as long as we are consuming copious quanities of alcoholic beverage (and he mentioned Corona by name) then there is absolutely nothing to worry about and he went on to say that we must remember that every dust cloud is another guest to our party and another invite to someone else's party in the future.
We were so impressed by his down to earth diagnosis, that we have recommended him for a humanitairian award to medicine.

Default Millies Digs

Hi All, Sorry for the absence of pics but the mother is requiring a lot of attention recently. But, I do happen to have some of your home which is coming along quite nicely indeed. The driveway and walk have been poured and the tile is being installed as we speak.

Enjoy!!!

Default TwinSpin's Moving Along

Hi Everyone! See the above post for the explanation of my absence. You have a wonderful roof and the shingles are being applied as we speak. You also have windows and it appears that the interior studs are also in place. Doing great as I see it!!!

I was told they are waiting for all the models to be completed before they release the lots. The houses that are sold were spec houses as are the ones that are light green. They are building lots of spec houses in 210 but you really can't tell which lots are under construction from the map, yet. When the lots are released, then the white ones will be under construction.
