We closed on our Gilchrist house (210.117) on April 11 and lived out of suitcases at Susie’s sister’s mountain home. Susie has been here since 4/18 and I came down 2 weeks ago after the semester ended. It has been very hectic, but the end result is what kept us going! Thanks to A4 Skyhawk for the mover recommendation…we shared the same 18 wheeler from Knoxville to TV.
We are looking forward to meeting our Gilly/TV neighbors and enjoying everything TV has to offer!

We look forward to seeing you at Evans Prairie tonight. We are having dinner at 5:30 and everyone is meeting at 7:00. Hope you can make it.

Really missing all you guys and TV.

We have been out buying bits and bobs of two sets of golf kit, shoes, gloves, tees, balls and another set of Golf Clubs each - its an expensive hobby this golf lark is, especially when you need two sets of everything!

At least over here in the UK, we dont have Gators swallowing our balls and can fish them out of the water with impunity!

We miss you guys, too! Can you apply for US citizenship yet? Maybe Florida can make an exception.

Thanks. We are so excited. We played Pickleball tonight (here in Kansas) for the first time. That could be fun.

For those of you following the saga of our pool/spa install here are the pavers in the lanai that will continue around the pool shortly..

The nice thing is they cost only $1 a sq ft.

A whole lanai can be done for about $400, a driveway under $1,000.

They will deliver the stone, simple to put in yourself.

Jayhawk's wife here... I am on cloud 9 - we really have a home in The Villages! And, oh my gosh - pickleball was a blast! Played at a local civic center. Thank heaven it was indoors - we would have been in the woods looking for our balls. Packing up today and tomorrow for a garage sale this weekend - time to start the de-cluttering process! Everyone have a great weekend - we'll be toasting our fellow Gillilanders!

Safe travels, Carol. The neighborhood will definitely NOT be the same with you gone. Give our love to Jill, and hurry back soon!

Default Yosts Progress

You guys did pretty well today. Concrete block delivered late yesterday along with sand and mortar. Work commenced today in the mid-morning and by the end of the day you had the stem walls in place and ready for rough-in plumbing!

Coming along nicely!!!

Default The Cat House

I had the opportunity to run by Shawn & Freddies Cat House today and found that the rough-in plumbing had been completed and plastic vapor barrier installed in the slab area. The inspection post says that the rough-in was approved today but the final plumbing inspection hasn't been done.

Looking good!
