Ready to pour concrete

All the below grade plumbing and other wiring has been laid and the foundation has been filled and the vapor barrier is in place. All ready for the concrete to be poured.

Plumbing gets laid

Plumbers can be seen here laying the pipes that will go below the concrete pad.

Foundation is in

Our new neighbor, Harry, has been kind enough to take and email us pictures as our house is built. Two days after we were there, the exterior foundation walls were laid. The shape of the house can be seen. Note that the roof is now on the house next door.

Work begins

After signing all the papers and spending some fun time with our friends, we stopped by to see our lot one more time before heading back to NC. We were surprised to see that work has already started and the foundation walls had been dug out. This area will be our two guest bedrooms. We're under way!

An empty lot

While visiting our friends in The Villages, FL (a 55+ community), we fell in love with the place and bought a new house. This is the first view of the lot we chose which is located in the Village of Hemingway just north of highway 466-A in the south side of The Villages. The house on the right is occupied. The house on the left is under construction as is the one behind us. Two blocks behind us is an adult swimming pool, one block to the right is a golf course and a long block to the left is yet another golf course.
