Default Cleaning Service in Gilchrist - Daisy Maids

New to Gilchrist - hard to believe 3 months. Need some help -- Just received an estimate from Daisy Maids (seems reasonable) -- anyone use their services and would you recommend them? Thumbs up or down??? Other services?

Gracie -
Not sure where Jbird is in Gilchrist. I'm still trying to figure out why a responsible person would dare tell someone with a construction wash problem that their problem sounds "like a sinkhole waiting to happen!". I think these "Sink-Holers" have their own club. How sad.

Having been there for the christening, and still, because of empty lots, being able to see HTB beautiful home. ... Just a great neighborhood, great neighbors and great lifestyle. .... But omg the wind at the christening .......

Default Contractors

On TOTV we often share info on contractors and services we have found that are good. Here’s a couple we have used recently that we are very happy with.

Cars heat up pretty fast here in Florida in the sun, whether parked or while you’re driving. We always tint our windows which makes a considerable difference. We bought a new car and the dealer recommended a lady who comes to your house and does the tinting right in your garage or driveway. Her name is Cindy and her business is called “Cindy’s Window Tinting” at 352-223-6196. She did a great job and her price is very reasonable. Highly recommend her.

Attached are pictures of some of the crown moldings we just had installed by Creative Finish Carpentry of Florida. (Creative Finish Carpentry) They showed up with 12 people and 3-1/2 hours later they were done. Installed, caulked, painted, and wall color painted. The quality of their work is outrageous. We had molding added to two trey ceilings and the decorative pieces added to the pencil corners. They did every room, including the master shower and toilet. The only rooms they don’t do are closets. We’re very happy with the job. They were real nice people.

Did we ought to suggest to her ladyship that she will have to fly on all the private gillyland flights from now on, to administer a 'clip' when the pilot is not behaving properly or am i getting muddled up with something else and is this a different type of ejector seat?

I am only joking, she is a kitten most of the time (except when dealing with the governor or jimbo when a firm hand is manditory)
a "kitten"??? More like a tigress when she's administering her "clips". My bruises from previous corrective clips are just now beginning to fade!!!

Everyone needs to forgive the Mayor. He just returned from NOLA and we think he did a bit too much . . . well you know . . . . .
I humbly ask for your apologies. A-4 is absolutely right (for once)!!!
The garbage is indeed picked up on Thursday.

And, again, A-4 is correct that there was just one derelict night on Bourbon Street....I think it was the 190 Antifreeze (made with Everclear) that did me in. Or maybe it was the 2-3 daquiries before that or maybe even the 1-2 shots. I just can't remember...

To quote my favorite motorcycle helmet sticker "This morning I woke up broke, hungover and sticky!"

Wow...you guys are the veterans of TV.... I totally understand your desire to move into a villa and the ones in Gilchrist look really nice with all of the exterior accents they're putting on. I hope you'll be happy. The reason for the larger lot was my wife's decision after seeing her aunt & uncle's home in Hadley that had "kissing lanai's" with the neighbors. We are really fortunate to have great neighbors on lots that are a smidge offset from each other. It gives a nice feel of privacy to everyone.

We had about 1 3/4 acres to take care of in WV and I was really tired of cutting grass. We have a lawn service so I don't have to do that here...lol

Miss TV and U guys
We miss you too Jimbo (and Cathy). In your absence you've given us a couple of great places to keep the pet 3 footer that was running around down on Dafoe.
Question . . . . You being the premier Pet Store owner of the 5 boroughs . . . . . is there some special product we should be using to clean the critter stuff from the bottom of your ponds and swimming pool?

Hey, don't worry about it. Eat a couple of lobsters for us if you get back down to the coast.

Default What A Day

Janice's brother and sister-in-law are visiting from WV for the week and we all decided to go to Tropicana Field in Tampa to watch the Rays beat the Astros 4-3.

Aside from singing Take Me Out to the Ballgame we had foot long hot dogs, ice cream, beer & hot pretzels. It just doesn't get much better than that. Here's a few pics to go along with the story!!!
