Yeah, come to think of it, Bruce and I didn't see him there yesterday either when we stopped by...Another mystery to solve for the powers to be.

He may have thought that nobody would be working on Saturday. Hope he didn't miss it. He's taken pictures of everything else!!!

Kayta, welcome to Gilchrist. Yes, we do live in Webster. I have lived here all my life. We built a home in Sanibel last summer and are not yet full time to TV. We come down quite often but hope to be FROGS by end of year. The weather should be better next week if you are coming up north, but it is cold. Hope to meet you soon. This forum is great and we have many great people on this string. Spent New Years with many of them.

Hi Linda and Rich, thanks so much for the compliment, and we still do appreciate all your assistance with our design appointment. You really helped us to not overlook important items or changes that would be hard to take care of later...in fact we went to the glass door store, Entrypoint by Perry's, and not only did we find just what we are looking for (french style fleur de lis door), but we saved thousands. And we extended the driveway, and many other things you suggested...thanks again...can't wait to meet you.

Panic set in in Greater Gillyland this morning when A4 arrived to view the daily progress on their lot.

Cries of anguish were heard and clouds of sand dust from kicking feet were spotted as A4 arrived on Site Sunday morning to find that no workmen were present!

The cries were so loud that His Worship the Mayor mobilised the PERC’s (who are fast coming to the conclusion that they will never get any) and sent the Lady Mayoress to summon A4’s better half and Mum to come quick.

Dave arrived with a pair of pliers and a screwdriver, hoping that it was an electrical problem that he could solve and thinking that A4 had had an electric shock and was quite disappointed that it wasn't - (it is thought that as a former Electrician, he is perhaps suffering withdrawl systems from not having regular electric shocks since retireing)

With the help of Gracie, Millie, Rosie and Sweetie nipping at his heels, a distraught A4 was herded into a corner so that he could be calmed down and the situation explained to him. - (Dave's pliers came in useful to tighten the ties used to hold A4 still when we cornered him).

Junction29 was dispatched to run home (he walked swiftly) to fetch some Newcastle Brown Ale, which is reputed to have a therapeutic and calming effect (at least that is one reason given for consuming it), but he didn’t arrive back at the A4 lot for about 30 minutes, having spent a while consuming several bottles to calm his own nerves and the return journey took lot longer owing to the considerable stagger in his step, which earned him a clip from Lady Wendy, although she calls them ‘love taps’.

Eventually Lady A4 and Mum arrived and calm was restored as they explained to him that it was Sunday and the workers were observing the day of rest, not abandoning the A4 lot for a better paid job.

It didn’t help that workers were seen on Kitty’s site, but Mum pointed out that they were probably not religious whereas, judging from the attention to detail and care taken, A4’s team almost certainly were.

A short discussion with the PERC’s followed the calming of A4 and His Worship the Mayor (we think) pointed out to Jimbo2012 that with all the Closings coming up, he ought to get the FLAPS around the rest of Gillyland to see if anyone else needs their services.

Jimbo2012, pointed out that following the significant stress suffered by the team over worrying about Chief Rose’s, Kitty’s and A4’s builds, that anyone else requiring the FLAPS services should consider donating copious quantities of Corona to bolster their flagging nerves until Junction29 pointed out (in a slurred voice), that perhaps Newcastle Brown Ale might work better.

Consensus was reached that anything Alcoholic and Wet would suffice in an emergency.

Lady A4 and Mum took A4 home, promising to bring him to Evans Prairie tonight at 8 o’clock to show us all that this morning’s trauma will have had no lasting effects and he should be back to his usual daft self by then.

His Worship the Mayor thanked everyone for turning out and dealing with the neighbourhood emergency and once more peace descended on Greater Gillyland.

Oh My Gosh!!! I just realized that the Head of the Administrative Department has more cow paddies in him than His Worship the Mayor... That's quite an accomplishment. I guess that will teach me that I don't have the market cornered on BS!!!!



Smashing good show, Junction29!!!!

OMG
JUNCTION HAS BEEN DRINKING THE GILLY LAND KOOL-ADE AGAIN.
Can't a man take a couple of days off to play some golf without a search party being launched (with a pack of hounds) and his house falling down ??
Thanks for checking on me. You guys ARE THE BEST

[Yankee Quilter]

Pix today show the house done or almost. Electric company tells me we are not on the grid yet. So, for those veterans out there, how is the sod and new plants taken care of? I doubt Little Miss Sunshine comes with her watering can!
Ok, i am full of questions, do any of you have steps off the lanai? It never came up in nthe design meeting, but we do, is there a number of steps required before they put a railing?
Next ? .... If any of you walk by, please let me know if the garage doors are gray and front deep burgundy. Last pix they were not.
Hope the Gillybration tonight is awesome, can't wait until we are there drinking, cruising and blowing up things with all of you.

Hi Everyone! Your home is coming along nicely. The drywall has been hung and the first coat of mud has been applied. Obviously all of the wiring and insulation have already been done. The lattice work for the fancy doo-dads around the windows has been put up and there is scaffolding in place that was delivered Saturday. I would expect the drywall work to continue on Monday and I'm sure that the stucco will go on since there was a crew there Saturday afternoon scoping things out and setting up the mixer. You're doing really well and I'm sure that you will close on time!!!

Enjoy the pics!!!

[WVMtnBoy]

Here's just a few more for kicks!!!

[WVMtnBoy]

Well Folks, Another GillyGathering has come and gone. What a turnout we had tonight!!!

Aside from our regular attendees, we had the pleasure of meeting the Mills, The Three D's (Dave, Doreen & Daisy...although Daisy wasn't there) and Jackie. That's as good as I can do on names. You guys who know me know that I'm better at remembering pets names than I am that of the owners...my bad! Unfortunately we were not blessed by the presence of A-4 and Jimbo and their beautiful spouses who had prior commitments (you whooseys!! )

I know that we are all gonna miss Chief Rose and his beautiful wife who return home this week as well as the Mills. The 3 D's are going to be around until Thursday (?) and have just completed Day 1 of design. They're building a Lantana in Section 211.

I know that everyone in TV probably says that they have the best neighborhood going but I know the truth of the matter.....GillyLand is the absolute best with the bestest neighbors. I can imagine living anywhere else.

So, thank you all for being my friends/neighbors. You are truly the best!!
