Hotrod--arrival date is the 4th--can't wait as we need some fun in the sun--we'll give a shout and stop by when we get into town as just had dinner with your neighbors Terry and Teryl last night and they told us we won't even recognize the neighborhood as so many houses have gone up since we were there last! Get ready for us!

I have a dire warning to all of us residents of Gilchrist. A-4 Skyhawk has indeed landed and everything we've suspected about him is true...omg...there goes the neighborhood!!!



Now for the redeeming news. Cathy and Elsie are absolutely the most lovely and sweet people!! If we apply the often used "balancing act" we'll have to let them stay based upon Cathy and Elsie!!!



Welcome home A-4, Cathy and Elsie...we've waited a long time for this!!!

I would second that.

[A-4 Skyhawk]

Yes it's true . . . A-4 and the crew have landed. It's been a long 3 weeks of packing and a FULL hard day of traveling to TV, but this morning we ventured out to lay eyes on Gilchrist 210.71 and it is EVERYTHING we had hoped it would be. As we were leaving, one block from the lot, there was a man walking his dog, on the wrong side of the street, so I guessed that had to be Junction29 and Millie "The Wonder Dog #2" and it was. So we all stood in the street Hugging and Laughing then proceded to Andy's house to meet Wendy. These Chaps are FABULOUS !!! As we left we caught the Mayor and Janice on their back porch hard at work, and the Hugging and Laughing kicked in AGAIN. Then we met Gracie, "The Wonder Dog #1" , Anna Belle to cat, and the real prize was Sally, Rusty's Mom. OMG people . . . . THESE PEOPLE ARE WONDERFUL !!!
To all of you people reading this thread trying to decide where you want to buy or build in TV, you're crazy if you don't head to Gilchrist 209 and 210. This morning we met 5 incredible people and the funny thing was it was like we had known each other for years and were already best of friends. They told us that the rest of the people they've been socializing with are even nicer than them, which is hard to believe.
BOY DID WE MAKE A GREAT DECISION

Zip-a-de-do-da, zip-a-de-a, my my my what a wonderful day!

We can only second A4 and the Mayors comments about the people of our neighbourhood.

We have yet to meet one we haven't liked imediately, don't know whether it is the air or the names of our village and its near neighbours, but we are certainly attracting some smashing people.

Looking forward to a great retirement out here (eventually), that is if Jimbo doesn't get us all involved in some new business venture.

A4 is just as we would have imagined him, only bigger and Cathy is just fabulous and definately deserves a medal for coping with him - then we had the added advantage of them bringing a brand new 'Mum' for us all to share, to go with the one we share with His Worship the Mayor and the Lady Mayoress

[hotrodgirl]

I am so excited to read these wonderful posts! Knocked on Calc's door today, but no one there...walked around the neighborhood to seek out A-4 as I thought he may drive over to check things out, but didn't see him or Cathy...looking forward to meeting up and enjoying some laughs! Much activity on my side as I am readying to have my garage acid washed and epoxied, grout sealed and rooms painted! Interviewing Rusty's cleaning service (not Janice) next week as I definitely won't have the energy after all that shopping! So glad neighbors are arriving safely and good times are just around the corner!

Welcome to the neighborhood A-4. Can't wait to actually meet you. We're right next door to Carol and have been squatters in the "hood" since August (long before The Mayor arrived to stir up all the activity -- it was such a quiet, pastoral place back then).

We made it back to Hawaii so I finally have time to provide a little feed back from our recent visit.

We arrived in TV on 17 December for our home design appointments which were to start on the 19th. Our sales rep, Jeannie Ulmer met us on the 17th when we checked in at the sales center to pick up the keys to our rental home. Spent the remainder of the day looking at models as we had not decided between Lantana and Ivy. Went with the Lantana as all our requested changes were approved. Our design appointment was moved up to the 18th to allow more time. Spent the 18th with our design rep to pick counter top material, cabinets, flooring, colors, doors, electrical and utility plugs, etc. Spent the 19th designing the bird cage and deck. Spent the 20th picking cabinet hardware, door hardware, lighting, plumbing fixtures, etc. Signed the contract on the 21st. Somehow we managed to attend a neighborhood meet and greet party at EP on the 19th, attended a social at the Mayor's home and got in a little shopping to keep my wife happy. Overall, it was an enjoyable experience from day one to finish. All questions asked were answered promptly by our reps (even the more technical ones they had to get answers from the engineers/builders). Everyone we met was positive (especially our neighbors to be). Traffic, compared to living in Honolulu, was not an issue. Drivers were courteous, even when we were lost and driving like tourist. We only ate out three times. Evans Prairie country club, TooJays, and Ruby Thai. Service and food were excellent (especially Ruby Thai). We believe this is normal life in TV. This was our 5th visit and it once again met or exceeded our expectations. I know that most of you already know this but I want to assure those that have not visited or built your home that this is a first class place with a lot of very nice residents.

I have to say that both Lee & Cion were hits with everyone who met them!! Such nice people...we can't wait till you guys get back!!

[hotrodgirl]

Lee and Cion! So glad to hear you made it back safely and we are all waiting for your arrival back in TV! There was some activity on your lot today! Don't get too excited... They graded a bit. However, lots going on at the moment at Terry and Teryl's place! I expect a roof to be completed on Monday if they are working! Looking forward to that time when most are frogs/snowbirds here and we have some time to spend together! It's so hard in the beginning with so much on the agenda! Missed seeing Calc and EdAlthough I did try going down to their place several times. Patience (not exactly my middle name!). Loving the life here and especially the company!

[Yankee Quilter]

Thanks for the update Carol. We can not wait to get the house built and complete our move to TV. Also, thanks to everyone who provided info and design ideas during our design process.
