Rusty, that sign had better be on the correct lot! Wow-another Gilly among us! How exciting! And in the new section too! That looks to be a wonderful area with so much diversity on all sides! The lots look nice, perhaps a good number of larger ones, and nicely proportioned! Which have you decided on A-4 and is your agent on it??? Good luck!

Linda and Rich! Many congrats to you both! and I hear you about all the aftermarket shopping! I close on the 5th and have 2 companies already set up for the 6th to do my window treatments and cable stuff. Then the real fun of all the incidentals! Plus a golf cart too! Holy cow!

Glad to know so many will be down over New Years and a perfect time to get together to meet and greet and get to know one another! I, for one, cannot wait after having "spoken" with so many of you through the forum! My head is already spinning in anticipation!

Aljetmet-I am so excited for you! Any questions about design time, just post away as lots of us finished recently! It was painless and informative. In hindsight I may have changed one or two things, but as for the stretches, I did as much as I could with my lot. Happy about that, and the other things can always be done down the line! have fun with it, and we'll all help poor Rusty out now that he will have reinforcements!

Hope our friends from across the big pond have an easy transition! I may have to grab Wendy for a shopping date! And a few other of the ladies around.. We could make a day of it and leave the guys to do the guy stuff at home?

The time is getting near for me, and I am full of anticipation to see the final results! Counting the days.....

I believe that SOLD sign that was placed on an un-named lot in the middle of the night by our "Favorite Son of Gilchrist" was a gesture of wishful thinking. I sent the picture to my Sale Rep and told her to "make it a reality". She has apparently figured out where the "FSoG" lives because she said she was sending the Villages Police to his house. She backed off when I told her the "FSoG" was a retired State Trooper.

So we wait . . . . . . and pray that the lot we want will come open soon and our rep can beat anyone else to it if there is some one else interested. We'll be dissappointed if we don't get #1, but we have 5 or 6 others lined up on our research list that will do just fine. Size for stretching and orientation are our major criteria.

This Gilchrist thing you've all got me hooked on better work out because I've already been kicked out of and disowned by the Flockers (spelled F-L-O-C-K-E-R-S Sara) and the Unit 206'ers.
(Just sent my sales rep a text that said "How are you today". Do you think I'm being pushy???)

Did your sales rep mention why all the lots in 210 are listed as "unavailable" except for the 4 finished homes?

Oh that sign is on the right lot alright. Rusty is a PRO at that stuff. As for the lot number, we (Rusty, Cathy, and I) haven't told anyone yet because we don't want to give the "Lot Seekers" the benefit of our research. We’re hoping that the SOLD signs that were placed on every lot on that street will be enough to deter lookers and lead them somewhere else

Sorry . . . . just re-read your question . . . . .
She didn't have an explanation. They are design and she is sales and it made it sound like two separate companies almost.

Good luck getting a lot. We bought a lot in 205 the first week of June but really wanted one in 210 and kept waiting for it to open so we could swap our lot before our design meeting Oct 1. We were watching a dozen times a day waiting for it to open and they opened 214 instead. Still waited up to the design meeting, didn't like the lot we had so switched to one in 208 on Mockingbird Lane instead. Still preferred the lot in 210 but with the way they rolled them out, maybe putting spec houses on all the lots I'm glad we were able to build the model we wanted with the stretches and features we wanted. We're right across the course from most of you on Amherst Way and are watching it go up through pictures from a neighbor. Again good luck getting your dream lot, unless it is the one I wanted!!!! Just kidding, I'm over it, hope you get it whichever one it is.

As long as they are all within staggering distance AND we all keep well stocked bars for the visitors, I can't see a problem.

I wonder if we need a very low speed limit imposing after dark around the whole neighbourhood to save the possibility of collision damage to cars and golf carts?

We land on the 29th November and hope to start shopping on the 30th!
so much to spend (oops, I mean so much to do) and so little time.

I am always up for a girls shopping day, so just say when and i will make one of the gang.

Gilly Friends,
We are back in Michigan after two fantastic weeks in Florida. We had our design meeting and it could not have gone better. TV makes the process do easy and fun. Really, we have built several homes before and it was never this easy. I am happy to say I was able to get everything on my wish list and still stayed under budget. On our last day at TV, we met Rusty walking his pooch down the street. What a great guy. We are going to have a super neighborhood for sure. We can't wait to meet everyone else. The good times are gonna roll! We got a picture from a Fern-Flocker yesterday telling us someone was on our "dirt". The picture showed guys staking off the lot already. Looks like things will be starting soon.

We close on the 17th Dec, so will be there over the New Year and look forward to meeting you both and all the others we have met on this thread - can't wait.

Reading TOTV is starting to dominate our day!!

regards
Andy, Wendy & Millie

Oh Guys! Please don't worry about comfort stations. You have a beautiful orange one parked right in front of your home. That is not going to be a problem in this neighborhood for a while!!!!

Sorry to report no activity at Coopers place today but I'll be glad to take a random pic of your house just for the heck of it!!!

[Twinspin60]

Wow so much action will be going on in the neighborhood into December and after the first of the year. I only wish that we could spend New Year's down there We'll have to wait to meet everyone until the 3rd--just be sure to save some "bubbly" for us Rusty--you sly dog--glad to see you didn't end up in the "pokkie!" I'm sure that SOLD sign just happened upon the lot by itself

There was a notice on the front door to the contractor and the sub-contractors to clean up after themselves and to wipe their feet because all of the flooring is down. I looked into your MBR (felt a little perverted...lol) and everything sure is down.

Enjoy the pics...my job at this site is done!!!

Very nice Hotrod. You have set the standard for the rest of us to follow.

[hotrodgirl]

I will expect that all of you will supersede what I have done as the possibilities are endless! Except for a wood floor in the kitchen which my builder refused to put in! So I will enjoy what I got and cannot stand the suspense of seeing the. Finished product. Alas, the best thing in the entire neighborhood is all the new neighbors
