The garage will be ready to walk on sooner but they say 11 days befor cars or heavy boxes go on it. We close Fri. 3/1, they will start this 3/4 and we will be there then. We will be gone for a little over a week and arrange to have the movers show up on the 18th or 19th. The work will be done before we leave to come up to GA (and help a daughter move and have Happy BD with a grandaughter) and all dry and ready to go when we get back. The porch and lanai only takes 15 minutes or so to be able to walk on so there is no trouble with in and out ... just need to park in the drive! this would be tough if this house was sold and we needed to be in at closing, but, for the first time in many moves, we have time to get some stuff like this done!!! But I would rather have the house here sold .... oh well can't have it all .... just let's get down there!!!!! Our friends had it done when they were gone and gave access to the garage thru the keypad on the garage and leaving the lanai unlocked.

Hi All!
Just a reminder for the January Birthday Bash at my house on January 19th! Casual supper will be served. Please arrive any time after 5PM at 3037 Amherst Way and in lieu of any gifts for the January folks, donations to Operation Homebound would be appreciated. That is a charity that prepares and delivers meals to Village residents who are Homebound. Cash in a sealed envelope marked for Operation Homebound or a check to NLPC (North Lake Presbyterian Church) with Operation Homebound in the memo section in a sealed envelope will be taken to the church by Meredith. Many thanks!
Carol

Holy cow! So many posts, so little time! So many new neighbors! Seems things are progressing quickly in Gilchrist! Batman will have concrete block tomorrow, Terry and Teryl's Sheetrock is hung, Kitty's lot is marked, Twinspin closed, A-4 is nearing completion of the design process, Chief Rose is on his way and Yankee Quilter is nearly done! Hard to believe all this activity taking place. Those who haven't been here in a bit will not believe the amount of building going on in our little section of TV! Amazing!

We're closing on the 21st...when is the first meeting after that??? Can't wait to get there!!!!....ok, bye..back to packing.

For those keeping score, just thought I'd let you know that our design finished up this evening. Tomorrow morning we go to the Granite place to pick our our slabs and then back to the design office to write the big check.
I can't tell you how happy we are with our designer, Melissa Stanford. What a GREAT experience. It was fun and exhausting. We're ready for that "Gillybration".

[hotrodgirl]

Awesome Trish! Can't wait til you two get down here! We'll surely have another get together soon after!

Bill & I are trying to think of another use for the "big red box" - phone booth? Mail box? Shed? - oops I don't think that will pass ARC approval

Hmmm... maybe a hot dog stand?? Beer cart?? Suggestions anyone?

Thanks A-4 for taking the time from your busy day to snap some pics and send them! Much appreciated!!

You already know the answer, everybody is coming over to your place at 5pm that same day.

Seriously, I'm thrilled for you three that everything has gone so smoothly. I wish you'd go ahead and break ground already!!

Oh Great Grand Poo-Paw . . . . you were soooooo right about everything. That's why we made you our Mayor and Fearless Leader.
When we write the check today Melissa said we would get our builders name and a start date. We saw grading on the lot next door (#70) yesterday and she confirmed that whoever they are would break ground next week. So we won't be out there in the middle all by ourselves. Looking forward to the Gillybration

It is so exciting to see the pictures of new construction. To see a building go from a slab into a beautiful home. I attached a picture of where we are in our construction. We close on Feb 20, not that far off.
We cant wait to see all of you and enjoy some great people.

PS....Didnt add a picture. I guess I need instructions!

Thanks a so much Rusty. I think the outside should be ready for paint soon. We have seen some interior pictures. It is shaping up. We are excited. The movers are coming on Wednesday Jan 16. We will stay near our current neighborhood and take off for TV on Jan 30. I am going to try to get Mike to go a little earlier. Lots of going away parties here. Cant wait for the "Welcome to TV" celebrations going in in Gilly.

Glad to know there will be more people on Hackberry soon! We are down the end of the month to see the progress ...will look for you! Good luck with the move!

[batman911]

We have walls! Getting excited now. Thanks to hotrodgirl for keeping us up to date with pictures and progress reports.

Movers are gone and we are exhausted. Cat is sleeping hard on the steps---poor thing Stuff in storage in Florida and we'll rent until we are finally Gilchrist Villagers.
