Happy Independence Day! Yesterday, Paul & Carol sent quite a few pictures of the rough plumbing and called tonight to say they will be pouring concrete tomorrow. Things are moving fast.
Trip Log
Today we got pictures from both Carol & Paul and our new neighbors showing the work on our lot. They have laid it out and appear to have dug some footers and are installing the forms.
We continue to have showings and an open house and have very good prospects, so hopefully it will be sold and we can focus on moving. We watched Bridget while Jeff and Bailey went to Great Adventure with neighbors on Monday.
Today is the first day of summer and the longest day of the year although yesterday seemed like it. After giving our thanks and bidding our farewells to Paul and Carol we hit the road at 7AM.
We signed the contract and paid our 20% down so they will start building our home in a few days and were given a closing date of September 4th, only 77 days.
Today we met with the home designer, Shelly. She walked us through all of the options and we made our choices then she took us around to see homes showcasing our chosen options.
We left home at about 3:30 AM on Friday and arrived at The Villages about 7:15 that night. I drove to just below Florence, S.C. and Alesa drove the rest of the way. It was a good trip except for some nasty rainstorms around Jacksonville.
Today is my 66th birthday and thanks to everyone for the birthday wishes. I feel great and had a wonderful day. Alesa and I went golfing, she took me to Outback for a steak dinner and then back home for some ice cream cake.
We had a showing right before the open house and I am now watching golf waiting for more people to come. One lady already stopped in on her way home from church. Jeff stopped earlier to pick up Ginger and Alesa is taking Elyse home.
This is Elyse's birthday weekend upcoming and we are looking forward to the diversion and her company. We will have another open house this weekend but we have settled into the process and are taking it a little more in stride and even golfed this week.
