One question - what is the difference in 'snowflakes' and 'snowbirds'? If we plan on being there for 4 - 5 months, what are we??

Well...as far as the Mayor of Gilchrist is concerned you just Gilly's. I don't have any idea what the diff is between Snowbirds & Snowflakes...

Come On Mayor . . . . . You're supposed to know this stuff. Birds are here just for the winter. Flakes are in and out at different times during the year. And everyone knows that Frogs are here full time until they Croak.

Forms went up today for the lanai / patio and driveway / walk. Also got caulked and all the trim & doors painted. Tomorrow should get walls painted and driveway poured maybe.

Carol, your landscaping is just stunning. Brandon did a great job of installing your dream of a garden. He is coming to our home this afternoon for an estimate. Thanks for suggesting him to us.

I saw your sticks. Big dig when the rain stops. Thanks for the dots. You're going to enjoy the practical jokes taking place in Gilly Land.

It is really amazing how much stuff accumulates. We give things to goodwill every year - both clothes and sometimes furniture. I even freeware stuff on the internet. We still have a lot to get rid of before downsizing. The amount of paperwork alone that has to be shredded is unbelievable. We are bringing no furniture to TV.

We are bringing down a roll of blue painters tape to use for the punch list of things needed to be corrected. Whenever we find something to write down on the list we will also put a piece of tape on the item to show where it is located. Who says I'm anal.

Good luck on the walk thru and closing.

I had the blue painters tape in the "has to go in the car Thur." box! But I was in Home Depot yesterday and they have this floresent painters tape ... may get that if I have to make another trip. We are in a 55+ condo and the builder had an independent home service do the w/t and the warranty work ... their motto was **** off the homeowner and don't fix anythng .... fought many a fight and did win the major battles! I hear TV is much more reasonable! Anal, well Joe is of engineer mind and I have been involved in real estate for the last 20 years...(relocation and closing) so we are anal ....
want it right, too old to play games, and to much to do!!! (like unpacking - thanks Jimbo, 4 months sounds like heaven!)
again - good luck!!!
