Well the ticketing thing I haven't figured out, was thinking cutting the price of the real movie theaters say they want $7.

I can offer hanging out for say two Coronas and a handful of peanuts or per person, reruns free.

Second feature only one beer

Default Thanks You Bumpers & Stretchers

Thanks for all of the PMs and emails from all of you Bumpers & Stretchers. It's clear that if you have space to do it, get it They're cheap. CalcTeacher sent me a copy of her construction floor plan. OMG - - - WHAT A NICE DESIGN.

Our sales rep called a little while ago and gave us an update on new lots coming available that can handle what we're interested in. Looks like A-4 is going to cross over to Gilly Land. There goes all of your property values

Jeepers! Lots of activity this morning! Seems everyone has something to offer today, but nothing new on my end... Just waiting to close on a house here and then I can pay for the house there! So, a friend of mine is in TV this week for a LSV and his agent (who is filling in for my agent on vacation) took him over to my house. He called me yesterday and was amazed at the amount of activity going on in our neighborhood. He got to go inside and remarked on the quality of the build which he said was good quality. And the crews were quite good as well. He used to be in construction, so a nice accolade! Jimbo anytime you are showing Gene Wilder, I'm in for a ticket! Coronas in hand! It seems Dec and Jan will bring in a lot of newbies, myself inclusive, and I am ready for some of those parties we keep talking about! Maybe some sort of progressive dinner is in order! Can't wait to meet each and every one of you this winter!!! Oh-almost forgot. Tonight I am having dinner with Carm310 and her hubby Frank, Jillybean, and Schaumburger! We're having a TOTV Chicago style!! and by the way, it'shere!!!

Default TwinSpins Foundation

As promised, here are pics of the brandest, newest foundation in Gilchrist and it happens to belong to TwinSpin and her spouse!

I don't know when the concrete crept in on me but there is certainly a lot of that hard stuff covering the rebar and there is a nice load of block and mortar on the property just begging to be put to good use!

Congrats!!!

Default Casa De Carol

What progress is being made at this beautiful abode! The trim paint was put on today and I do believe that I saw cabinets in the kitchen with more stacked in the garage just waiting for a home!

I'm afraid that very, very soon I'm not going to have access to the interior. Guess I'll just have to put on my dark clothes and face paint for a midnight foray!!!

Default Junction29's Interior

Hi Andy, Wendy & Millie!!! Your house in TV is coming along very nicely and the drywall is going up even as I type this. I even got a picture of the workers when their back was turned...lol.

Janice and I can't wait until we see you both again and Gracie is impatient to meet Millie! Time certainly is flying quickly but not quickly enough for me!!!

Default CalcTeachers Really Moving

Hi Everyone! Your house is coming along amazingly well. The concrete is poured for the pool deck and the lanai and the drywall is going up. This is going to be very, very pretty!!!

As for Gracie: I think one of Cooper's biscuits will probably last her a week...so we can work that out!

You sound a lot like Ed and I...Ed's mom and sister live in TV (can't remember which village) and my parents live in Village of Tamarind Grove (just moved there this past June) so I forsee Ed doing multiple projects in multiple homes once we get down there in June! He's only in health care until he gets his big break in carpentry! Hahaha!

One thing I've never asked you: who's that adorable munchkin perched on top of your shoulders in your picture?
I think that the compensation for this job is very fair...lol! Gracie also agrees and can't wait to meet Cooper.

I think Ed and I are going to get along famously with all of our projects! I'm not much on carpentry but I do enjoy making furniture. Sometime when I think about it I'll post pictures of the school teachers desk, sofa table, end table and lingeree (underwear) chest I made for Janice.

That adorable munchkin perched on my shoulders is my youngest cousins daughter who live in Gainesville. I just love her to death!!!

HotRod! I'm so jealous! I really really wanted a white kitchen but was afraid to do it...and now I regret it! Yours looks awesome!! And now that your house has its exterior coat, it looks amazing...and the trim paint really sets it off! And I'm with you on the progressive dinners!

Thanks for the pics! Wow! Is that the bedroom we added the bathroom to? I thought it was the garage at first but then up in the corner I think I see some sort of ceiling thing (what do you call that? coffered?). So HotRod got cabinets...I was hoping our cabinets would be up by the time we get there on Nov. 9th (don't forget we're coming!)...maybe based on her timing ours we'll be there by then!

Default Wow

Thanks for the pictures and glad to hear that Sandy didn't wreck havoc on our little corner of the world--we're awaiting to see what she does up here as all day today it's been cold and rainy-yuck and double yuck! Everyone's houses are looking fantatic--Carol I love the color of yours--I think ours may be very close but the white trim really makes it "pop!' Lisa--your pool will be amazing when finshed! Wendy--your house is coming along at record speed! Rusty--again you're a gem!

Default Yikes!

Rusty, every time you post pictures, I am amazed at the progress. EVERYWHERE! And each time I see someone's home, I see stuff I wish I had done! But it's nice that we all did it our way and there will be differences in models, structure, details, etc. That make each one our own! Not as cookie cutter as other developments.
Calc-love the lanai as I have said and I can see a party or two out there! And Junc.29! Wow! You have just about caught up to everyone! Twin, getting there day by day!
If you all are up for some sort of progressive thing, perhaps Gilly can do one, then the Ferns, and I can't remember if there are a number of us from Charlotte and Sanibel or not. They could host together maybe if they wanted or just come along to ours! I will take first crack at the main course! And I cannot wait! How fun to get together!
Thanks again your mayorship and Gracie for keeping us all in check! Out the door for dinner with more TOTV friends!

Hi Lisa! If I remember correctly, the picture was taken in the front bedroom. Don't worry...I definitely have not forgotten that you guys are coming down...lol
