Default My House Is Nearing Completion

We're building in Citrus County in Pine Ridge. Target date for completion is next month.... April.

Coming along VERY well, with minimum problems during the build.

Target date for my wife and I to move? Probably Dec. 08.

I'm getting psyched.

We've been flying down about every 6 weeks to check things out. In April, I'm borrowing my BIL's construction trailer and driving down with a few items to make the place liveable...like a bed, some dishes, etc.

Here are some pix. The garage is 36 X 28. One bay has a cathedral ceiling for my lift.

Chuck

Just these 3. Sold my 54 Corvette and sold my 2000 Corvette.

After the 54 was gone, I bought the 56 Chevy.

I have 2 DD's, a Tahoe (me) and a Saturn Vue (Mrs. Chuck)

Wow! Nice garage! One of these days I need to have a garage built here somewhere. And want to have the ceiling high enough to put in a lift if it strikes me.

Hope the house gets done ahead of schedule for you.

Looking good Chuck! I know you and Pat can't wait to get in and make the transition. Let me know if you need anything.

Thanks, Rich. Sorry we couldn't make it down to visit you and Joyce on our last trip.

As things are coming to a close, there are TONS of little items to be tended to. We're usually so busy on these whirlwind trips to Florida that when we get home, we sit and wonder IF we were actually there.

Spent lots of time at the house. Met with the builder for a small walk through about several small issues. Then, to the Model Home, then to the bank, then to the "window treatment" place.......................

The wood flooring finally arrived, and they're supposed to start installing it tomorrow, Monday. The pool is still just a concrete "bowl" in the ground. They just poured the patio.

Not sure when the house will be done. Not sure of the settlement date either.

Chuck

I know what you mean Chuck! When Joyce and I were doing the same thing a few years ago we had the exact same issues. Be patient, it will all come together.

Don't worry about us not hooking up, we can make that happen after the new house is done and you have some time.
