Congrats on your new home. I enjoyed watching you go through the process. However, if you make more videos, can you please control the music volume. It is so loud compared to your soft voices. I found myself moving the volume control up & down throughout your video. Please lower the music or wear attached microphones. Thx for sharing!
Thanks for the feedback, this is helpful. I tried to get the audio levels to match, but it wasn't as easy on this video for some reason. We do have microphones, and the next video will be better! Thanks for watching and the support!
Such an exciting day for you, Ella showed so much love and was thrilled to be there too, Have fun arranging your new home the way you want it and enjoy the Villages lifestyle, Great video👍
Ella did have a great move in week, she basically slept the following three days!!! I am not going to lie, I will be happy when the last box is unpacked! Thanks for watching - more to come!!
Congratulations and Welcome to The Villages. I moved too at The Villages of Richmond and I know how you are feeling. I wish you both the best, hopefully 1 day we will meet.
Thank you very much! We've ran into several of our subscribers over the past 3 weeks. It was great fun to put faces with comments. We live very close to Sawgrass, so if you end up there, keep your eyes open you will likely see us! Be sure to flag us down! Take care
Hi from Switzerland! Excited to follow your move and getting settled in from day 1!!! All the best in your new life! P.S. My sister in Oklahoma has an „Ella“ dog - Toby! He is a cutie, but most people have never seen this breed. We have a Vizsla
First of all thanks for turning in from Switzerland! How awesome is that!!! Super cool your sister has an Ella dog (aka Wire Haired Pointing Griffon (WHPG)). They are super fun dogs! I Luv Luv Luv Vizsla's! Stayed tuned, you will see more adventures with Ella leading the way. Take care!
Congratulations on the purchase of your new home in The Villages. Question - On a new build, how did you get your driveway painted so quickly after closing ? It took us three months. Thanks
Thank you very much! We did not purchase a new build. Our home is two years old. The originally owners did several upgrades including the painted drive and the garage floor. I can however tell you it took a solid 5 days to have the carpet in the bedrooms removed and the floors tiled along tiling the lanai. Thanks again!
Thank you so much! Stay tuned we will keep you informed on how things progress in the Villages. Let me know if you have any specific questions I might be able to help you with. Take care, and it is never too early to retire!!!
Three weeks in and we have been very busy unpacking and I really love it here! Just think of the fun we will have when the last box in unpacked!!! Stay tuned.
We bought a house that was 2 yrs old and there were several things that were done like the driveway paint. A new home is basically a blank canvas for your imagination to run wild with decorating ides. Many things are not included, like gutters on the entire house, painted driveways, epoxy on the garage floors, granite/quartz counters, etc.
Congratulations on your move! My husband and I would love to be your neighbor but just hesitant on the house insurance costs in Fl. How are retirees affording such outrageous premiums?!
Well you are not wrong - house insurance costs continue to rise in Florida. However, in our case, coming from the Keys all of our insurance expenses decreased significantly. We are not required to carry wind insurance here which is a huge savings. Perhaps you can stop in the Keys for a couple of years like we did and then it will feel better when you move to the Villages. If you make it to the Villages, please reach out. Thank you for watching our videos.
Oh my gosh I'm so excited get this there is actually a group for whole food plant-based people! They meet monthly the second Thursday and they meet and have a potluck! It was very well organized and I just can't tell how excited I am about it.!!
The Villages are very pet friendly. :) I think the last time Ella tinkled inside a building is when she was 10 weeks old, so the odds are on our side she would not start now considering she is 9 1/2 years old. If she had a thumb I would have sat her on the chair and let her sign the paperwork.
Good question. I would only bring Ella to a closing when I had no other option. Can't leave her in the car, or the hotel room, or with fam & friends (no body in the area). Clearly many others have been in the same situation. As such the Villages welcome your 4 legged family members! Was a huge stress reliever for us!!
You’ve got to kick the content up a notch to make it watchable and the intro song was 2 minutes too long. You’ve got potential but just hone it in to make it more watchable, one long advertisement for a storage company isn’t going to keep bringing viewers or build your audience.
Well we are not quite all the way out of the Keys just yet. It was an amazing experience that I am forever greatful my husband talked me into. Now on to something new in the Villages!
@@LifestyleinTheVillages we are in Fort Myers and my husband says he wants to move there to escape all the craziness! Look forward to watching your Village adventures. Congratulations!

Congrats on the next chapter of your lives! I'm a west coaster who is possibly considering retiring to The Villages when I get to that point.

Did you have the driveway painted or was it already done when you bought the house
We bought a house that was 2 yrs old and there were several things that were done like the driveway paint. A new home is basically a blank canvas for your imagination to run wild with decorating ides. Many things are not included, like gutters on the entire house, painted driveways, epoxy on the garage floors, granite/quartz counters, etc.

Thank you! Will do! Do you live in the Villages?
Oh my gosh I'm so excited get this there is actually a group for whole food plant-based people! They meet monthly the second Thursday and they meet and have a potluck! It was very well organized and I just can't tell how excited I am about it.!!
I can’t believe they let you bring your dog into the building! What if Ella pees inside the building?
The Villages are very pet friendly. :) I think the last time Ella tinkled inside a building is when she was 10 weeks old, so the odds are on our side she would not start now considering she is 9 1/2 years old. If she had a thumb I would have sat her on the chair and let her sign the paperwork.
@@LifestyleinTheVillages LOL
What a happy time it must be.
What was the lot bond $50k now? Lol
I don't recall what the bond was, quite frankly it really doesn't matter it's just part of the property taxes, but called out separately.
Know people love their animals but I am allergic to dogs and cats.
Dogs are everywhere, but they are not allowed in the rec centers or restaurants.
It's a swinger community
Funny these rumors are!
The long silly music breaks are awful. Moving on....
I'm sorry to here that.
Not sure why?
who brings a dog to a closing?
Everyone in The Villages! 😉😉🐕🐕

Music is so loud
It happens!
