It's Finished!

Work was finished on our new home this past week and it is now ready for closing next week. It looks like I'll need to shop for a new lawnmower... We can't believe it, but we'll be moving in on May 4th.

Location and layout

Here is a map of The Villages, FL (you can click on it to zoom in for more details). Our new home is located near the pointer at the bottom of this picture. The pinkish area at the pointer is the Village of Hemingway and you can see the two golf courses (called Kilimanjaro and Roosevelt) that surround us on either side in green. Directly above us (in orange) is the Hemingway Neighborhood Pool. Ahhh...

Here is the basic floor plan for our new home. A few interesting points are the utility room (just below the master bedroom), the huge walk-in closet in the upper left corner and the walk-in shower in the master bath.

Landscaping, appliances, sod and more

The driveway and walks have been poured and the landscaping is now in place. We have a baby palm tree!

The front door has been painted (we love the glass).

The kitchen appliances are in and the kitchen looks to be done.

The walk-in shower is done.

...and the sod is being laid.
