Thanks for the welcome, everyone! My wife's aunt & uncle have been in TV for about 4 years now and love it. They were our inspiration for moving. I have no doubt that we will love it here. We hope to meet all of you when we get "home"! Oh, one more thing....do I get a prize for being the first Gilchrist poster????? roflmao

I am really surprised to hear they said your home would take 2 1/2 to 3 months. Normally they say the Designer homes take 60 days...Maximum 70 with changes. Definitely not 90 days. Is it possible they are actually backed up?

It looks like 12 lots sold in the week and there was about the same # set aside for spec homes.

I think we will probably get a firm time frame once the design meeting is over but we were told 2 1/2 - 3 months by our sales rep. They may be backed up since the design appointments have been so popular. I guess it just takes as long as it takes. And, thanks for the popcorn...I love popcorn....

WVMtnBoy: I just did a search on "Gilchrist" and came up with this thread! I am a fellow Gilchristian (?) and have only "met" one other poster here who is too! My husband and I are 209.32. Our design meeting is mid-September.
Your post about progressive dinners and drinks on the lanai is what prompted me to reply. I'm all in! We are not able to move into our home until next summer (I'm a teacher and even though I could leave mid-year, I would never "abandon" my AP Calculus kids--I just don't roll like that). How did your design meeting go (it must be over by now)? I need DETAILS! PM me if you have the chance! |

Ah yes Calculus, and Trig, and all those higher maths we had to take to get to college.
I am glad that part is over and I will always be in awe of those who teach it as it was not easy for me to learn it. Martha Washington, who was in my class was such a chatterbox. I was distracted. That is my story and I am stickin' to it.

Graciegirl: don't be in awe of those of us who teacher higher level math...my younger sister is a kindergarten teacher (in Raleigh NC) and she teaches kids how to READ! That is the greatest gift you can give anyone as it is the key to everything. I am in awe of her everyday. And just so you know...my students think I dated Pythagorus!

Sorry we've been gone from TOTV for such a long time but it's been a very long three weeks. We've closed on our house (money in the bank), moved my mother to NC, had our design meeting and made the trek to The Villages. We worked with Jim Lane as our design consultant and couldn't have been happier with the process. Jim was a true expert and we got everything we requested (altered kitchen design and stretches to lanai/front bedroom). Our sales agent, Jason Kranz, advised us to go around the the model homes and get our exterior colors, exterior light style and door style prior to the design meeting. Believe it or not, this did help the process. We took our time, asked quite a lot of questions and felt that we were honestly and fairly dealt with. Construction starts on the home on 7/24 and is to be completed by 9/27. They actually gave us this info in writing. Everything went so smoothly that we couldn't believe it! So, we have the moving truck unloaded and are in the process of settling into our rental condo. So far, I absolutely love TV and don't expect this to change any time in the future. It's good to be here!!!!

We've Got Walls!
[IMG]walls.jpg[/IMG]
House Update: Went to the site on Sat and found rough-in plumbing and a notice from the inspector that there were deficiencies that needed to be corrected. Back to the site on Mon and found the inspector had signed off on the work so far and that rebar had been put into the footer ditches. There was another large batch of rebar laying by the ditches. I figured that we would have footers by Fri. Went back to today and this is what we found! Approximately 30 guys working on a completed slab laying block for the walls. I was stunned. The all looked like a bunch of worker bees. So it progresses!
