Rona and Bill,
I hope you find a lovely new beginning in TV and a happy future ahead. And yes, you both certainly deserve it! Wish I could offer more than prayers for your situation in NJ, and think a break for a week is a good idea for both of you! I truly look forward to meeting you and so many of our wonderful neighbors! We'll have lots of time ahead to make new memories and start new friendships! Have a great design meeting, enjoy yourselves and get what you want! See you soon!
Carol

Rona and Bill, so sorry to hear and see all the devastation in your area. A trip to the sunshine and the excitement of your design meeting may just help ease the pain a bit. Best wishes.

Hi All, one more trip to the hospital tomorrow for bunion surgery on my right foot to now match my left foot where
I had a tendon transfer, heel realingment and bunion surgery in August. Doing this now in preparation for New Years where I expect to have my dancing shoes on and ready to PARTY! Bed rest for the next couple of weeks so I can watch all the wonderful pictures Rusty adds. Take care.

No perfect lot yet. I don't think "The Villages" realizes how much confusion and anxiety they have created for a whole bunch of people who want to live in 210. Whiting out every lot and doing nothing but spec houses? Where did that come from? I understand the effeciency of taking a whole street and have one builder go in a bang out a string of houses and then sell them, but they have other customers that need to be taken care of also.

We upgraded from a 2 man mountain tent to a 4 person wall tent to be erected in Rusty's back yard. I think we'll have room for mother in law (MIL), Boots the cat, and all of my Protest Signs in that bigger tent.

Totally agree Bob, very diappointing for you and I'm sure a whole bunch of people. Wishing you good luck. Does TV know what they will be building on all those white spaces? Probably not.

Anyway in about 48 hours we'll be heading southeast. We were told to go directly to the sales office in Brownwood. Very excited!

By the way, anyone looking for a mortgage Wells Fargo quoted 3.125% no points and a 90 day lock. So hopefully by Thanksgiving eve we'll have our contract and a locked rate!

The next unit in order of application date is 211 in April, then 212 & 225 in June.
224 July, 222 & 229 Sept. No others have been filed yet, they work about 6 months in advance.

It makes sense that they were applied for in the order of their master plan to build.

I think now the ? in not getting a lot taken away from spec plans in 210 but when 211 will be released.

It's 210 or I stay in 206 on my wonderful "little" lot. We design and start building in January so April will do me no good. Besides that, I'm fussy. I want 210 but I want to design not pick from someone else's idea of what they think I might want. I think they forgot there are 2 kinds of "customers" out there and they need to take care of the loyal people who already own and are wanting to up-size. We are their sales and referral department.
THERE . . . . . I FEEL BETTER

[jimbo2012]

Bob U miss understood my post the dates are approvals of the sub division this year, they can start building anytime after that, not next year.

I totally agree with A-4!!! I still find it hard to believe that TV is so short sighted that they are going to develop a totally spec section. I'm still holding onto hope that A-4 will get the lot he wants. In the meantime, any mail can be addressed to he and his family at 3037-A Bradshaw Lane. We've got plenty of room for the tent and the MIL can have my office with the attached bath! I've gotta take care of my buddy!!!

I find it hard to believe that 210 will be all spec homes. Creating a bare lot with all of the underground utilities in place is a fairly inexpensive process, but when you decide to develop a lot and build a ready to move in house on it, the carrying expense is astronomical, multiply this by the number of lots in 210 and you are talking mega-bucks. I would guess that they are keeping these lots "unavailable" until some of the available lots in other sections are sold.

[jimbo2012]

Not hard to believe at all what makes you think the Morse's don't have those mega bucks?

If you had a zillion dollars in regular investments vs spec homes where do think the better ROI would be.

A few years ago there were no custom builds so it is reasonable to assume that are doing that.

They can build these houses at lower cost just knocking them out like a cookie cutter,
