If you need a hand with anything, let us know

No why would it go smoooooth for me, I got screwed, the fiscal Cliff shut down the IRS computers, the bank couldn't get copies of my tax retiurns which R now required to close, we waited alllllll day yesterday then at 4:45 they said the IRS still hasn't emailed the the returns........

At 8:45 this morning we get a call from the TV law firm that all is set pick up the keys, we were there by 9, call the movers I had them first remove the living room carpet/padding it's ready to sell, then they started to unload, ( these guys don't know what a NY minute is they were slow as glue) we were unpacked by 3:00, but no elec, TV shut us down, so we're back in the Airstream tonight.

Power should be on in the morning have the warrantee people there at 8AM to start on my 3 page punch list.

W/D being delivered Saturday, oh fun, stopped at City Fire for a couple of Bloody Marys, went looking at engineered wood floors having a nice vegan dinner as I type.

I should be asleep soon I'm beat....we are are having a ball.

Funny how we thought the furniture would look in one place only to have the guys move it to another, you just can't plan to that fine a detail.

It's all good

Hey Mayor -
Do me a favor. . . . . Give the poor boy one of those Extras to tide him over until I get back. He's the one who gets the dang sword and now he wants my beer. Go figure

So far but only looking for a short time in earnest, not liking the wood tones, it appears that lumber Liquidators has more choice than anyone at good prices.

They R in Orlando, may ride out this weekend.

What I'm most interested in in looking iinto deeper is solid Fl Cypress wood milled right here in FL, it is very nice at a very good cost per sq'.

Here's just one example

Our Lanai extension (about 400') will be a pergola all cypress clear coated to show the natural wood.

Sorry you ran into problems ... Seems like there are always too many i.s to dot and t s to cross! Glad you are in there now, try to enjoy! Keep your punch list,
the rest of us closing can use it as a crib sheet... For a Merlot!
Hi to Kathy ... See you soon!

To anyone interested, Twinspin is expected to arrive in TV on Friday as their closing is next Tuesday. I know they would like to get together to meet their Gilly neighbors. Rich and I are planning on going down to Cody's Friday around 5:00pm for Happy Hour and one of our favorite entertainers is playing there too. We will stay for dinner and I have a call into Twinspin as I believe they are interested in meeting up. If anyone else is interested, the more the merrier! Hoping the weather will be a bit drier tomorrow evening. Let me know if anyone is interested and I will try to get a table for dinner around 7:00PM.

FYI, will probably be out of the house by noon tomorrow after the painters leave so if you would like to join, and it is after noon, please call my cell phone from the spreadsheet.
Thanks, Linda

hotrodgirl,

Thanks for the update. You are reading my mind. I was just thinking, when will they start on our lot just before I read your post . Guess we better quit playing and get serious about moving. Cion is working the Sony Open next week. I believe she is a walking with the players again keeping their score.

You want me to give him my what????????. You know how they get once they achieve the status of landed gentry... Don't worry, Junction29, he's good for his debt. He's already paid me off!!!

Well rats!!! I didn't read this post until 5:03 on Friday and Janice already has dinner in the oven. I'm so sorry that I've missed it. If our social coordinator had been here (...hear that Terry???) I know everything would have gone off without a hitch!!! Please make sure that Twinspin knows to drop by and say hello!!!

OK all you lucky Gilbillys, starting to get things ready for the chaotic closing week. Set for Feb 22d
What we want to know now is our cable choices in Gillyland. Don't suggest DirecTV as we had that in Tamarind Grove and didn't really care for it.

And can't post anything without a BIG shout out to HotRodGirl for all her fantastic photos! We patiently await our daily fix to see what has been added today. THANK YOU!

Teryl

What can I say?? Ahhhh, Job security!

THEY GRADED MY LOT!! I was passing by TV today and saw that they smoothed the dirt! Watch the middle of the unbuilt part of amherst and keep me posted. I'm an hour away so can come down and watch them work.

Lock down your Corona. The house has gone to storage and I'm headed back to TV bright and early tomorrow. Design is a week from today. LIFE IS GOOD
