Pavers on the lanai. T&D is the source. We picked a darker color combination to reduce glare when the sun is on it. I am impressed with their work as they also covered the edge face of the slab and the outside entry pads. Thanks to hotrodgirl for these pics:

Hi everyone. I have been so busy that I havent read any Talk of the Villages for a couple of days. We had a great time Wednesday night. What a fantastic group of people.
We are still unpacking. You will see our car in the driveway for a while. The boxes are taking up space.

You are all welcome to come and visit and have a cup of coffee or cold drink when you stop by. We love visitors. I will be going around maybe knocking on doors to say hi!

Batman, your pavers are lovely on the lanai. Just wanted to say we also had other friends in Buttonwood that used Brandon for their landscaping and are also very pleased as Hotrod Girl is. Best wishes in your new home.

Carol, where are the pictures of your landscaping? I hear it is lovely.

A-4,
We did the Gilchrist inspection of your home yesterday. You passed with flying colors! It is hard to believe it was just dirt not long ago. Love, love, the bonus room!

Seems things are moving along so quickly now! I walked Kitty's place as well as A-4's cement yesterday and I am impressed with both!!! Kitty will likely be having some wonderful parties on her lanai and A-4 has awesome paint now. Batman is just about finished and I will likely be locked out by week's end! Yankee's place is done and mike and Gayle have moved in. Lord, the time just escapes me here! It will be awesome when the construction is complete and everything looks beautiful!!

I hope to upload pics to my computer to post today. I am SO pleased with the wonderful landscaping!! You really have to walk around to appreciate all the hard work and I am afraid the pictures will not do it justice. But I will get them on here soon!

Speaking of construction sort of, I finished laying down the whole floor yesterday.

I might add with aid of Rusty and the big time help of Andy.

First pic is me putting the very last piece of the puzzle.

Then two pics with my helper Trouper.

So I ring the doorbell, go inside, and tell him I am with the Villages Painting department and wanted to see his painting permits and I was looking for a missing lawn chair. His eyes got as big as saucers until I started laughing. Like I said, I don't think I'll get invited back.

P.S. . . . . Good luck with your appliance delivery tomorrow Teryl
Ho Ho Ho, that was a good one!

Wish we had thought of it, still we can always come up with something else to welcome them home!
