We specified the granite for the kitchen only when we did the design and were referred to "Ultimate Granite" (I think) which is on 301 near Hungry Howies Pizza in Wildwood. We got to shop around and pick our personal "slab". It was a neat process!

Actually the green and white is due to our being Marshall University (WV) graduates, although no disrespect intended to the Spartans!!

I am here for just a few days for my design team meeting and drove by Rusty'splace today (WV MtnBoy) It looks awesome, and cannot wait for mine to start. I apparently already have a neighbor whose house is finished. The first, I think, on Amherst. Unfortunately I did not meet them... Can't wait for the build to start and the closig to take place! And to meet my fellow Gilchrister's! I am thinking there will be some block (neighborhood) parties this winter as more homes are completed!

Our granite selection is Ivory Gold, but we didn't even think about coordinating it with blue for WVU! Hubby and I are huge Mountaineer fans but after seeing the movie "We are Marshall" I have a very special place in my heart for The Thundering Herd! Just as WVU has joined the Big 12, we're moving to FL. I'm happy it's time for college football again!

Hi Count'n! When we originally purchased in Dec we had a lot on the corner of Mayflower Loop and Mayberry Circle. Our circumstances changed and we traded for a larger lot in Gilchrist at the corner of Bradshaw and Kilgore. We'd love to meet you guys when you get time. Afterall, we're not that far from each other!

I was looking for places to rent a golf cart as we are coming down in October to meet with the design team and found all your comments about "New Villagers in Gilchchrist" by accident--that's exactly what we'll be! After countless trips down and numerous times of looking at hundreds of houses-we decided to bite the bullet and bulld again (already did once in Ohio). We put money down on lot #54 on Eastfield Path and will start the building process after we meet with the team on the 15th. All your comments are so helpful--because of our job situations in the North I don't know when we'll actually become permanent residents of Gilchrist but my husband is shooting for yesterday! Can't wait to meet all our new neighbors.

Hi Twin!!! It's great to get another new neighbor in the fold! My wife and I are meeting Hotrodgirl tonight for dinner and drinks! Please get in touch with us when you come down for your design meeting and we'll do the same!

My Bride and I had a wonderful evening with Hotrodgal at the City Flame. Good dinner followed by drinks and great conversation. We're gonna have a great neighborhood in Gilchrist!!! Thanks for being a great dinner companion and neighbor, Hotrodgal!!!

[hotrodgirl]

Hi Rusty and Janice! It was just so awesome to meet you both last evening and I see many, many more opportunities ahead! I can tell all the other Gilchristers that we have a wonderful neighborhood of people and I expect we will be having some great parties! I am just waiting in the TV office now to sign my final papers! The design team meeting was a great experience and I feel fortunate to have had such a wonderful rep (Pam Sherwood)helping me. she made things easy and uncomplicated, and I hope the very best for those of you who follow suit! My home should be complete the first week of Dec so if any of you will be down during the winter month, please stop and introduce yourselves!

[WVMtnBoy]

Good News! We just got a call from the Closing Dept and our walk through and closing is set for 9/27. They broke ground when they would and we are closing on the specified date. This place is a well oiled machine and I am very happy with the way that everything has gone!

[hotrodgirl]

Woo HOO"
FYI-It looks just awesome! Can't wait to see the end result! My closing should be Dec 5th, so see you (and hopefully some other neighbors) then! Enjoy your new digs!!!!

WVMtnBoy and hotrodgirl -
The Fernandina Flockers kicked me out because the street I will be building on isn't the name of a bird. I'm Crushed . . . . . . (not) I thought about asking you Gilly's to adopt a Fernandina outcast, but that wouldn't work even though you are on the other side of Pinellas from me. I guess I'll just wait and organize a bunch of fun loving crazy people from Unit 206.
Gone to the "birds" . . . .

I can get U the secret hand shake to get U into #215, only one bird street there, so no big deal.

Thanks Jimbo. It's nice to be wanted. I'm not sure either one of us would want to be referred to as a "Community Organizer" but that's sort of where we're headed.

[hotrodgirl]

We Gilly's will be happy to accept you both so long as you bring something for the parties! We are a fair-minded group it would seem. By the way A-4, WVMtnBoy says you owe me a beer!

Learning the design and building ropes from the two of you has turned into an expensive deal. It's "beer well spent". I don't like surprises and I'm one of those "planning fools", so anything I can pick up before design day helps. It's too bad TV doesn't have a Design Day Owners Manual they can give you to prepare you for design day. Here's what you can expect . . . Here are the choices you will have to make. . . . Here are the options available . . . etc.

How many of you Gilly's are there at your parties? This could get really expensive for me
