    My experiences in The Villages have proven to me that this is the friendliest hometown. When I broke my hip 2 years ago, the amount of support I received from my neighbors was outstanding. I was a resident of a rehab facility here in The Villages called "The Club" for a whole month and lots of my neighbors came and visited, bringing me flowers and gifts. When I came home, neighbors came by to help me clean my home, clean out my refrigerator, grocery shopped for me, changed sheets on my bed and even made food for me because I was on a walker and couldn't walk on my own or drive yet. I'm so grateful for their kindness and support! Can't live in a better place in my opinion. 😍 "Only if they're very good looking"! LOL The look on Jerry's face.......priceless!

    I’m an introvert, so I like to socialize when I’m in the mood. The lady who paints (she’s 76) but wants some limited socializing, find a friend to have dinner with, go to movies with, occasionally shop with, etc. I belong to a social group that I go out with occasionally, when I’m in the mood. That way, you have your alone time and time with friends.

    So we live in south Florida and switched from a tile roof to a metal roof mill finish (metal finish) and love it. The mill finish actually reflects to heat from the sun making the attic space cooler (then again how cool is any attic gonna be in summer time no matter where you live). The metal roofs withstand high winds and rain much better and insurance companies even give you a discounted rate for having them.

    So reference the cart tires. The rule of thumb for all tires (cars, motorcycle, trailers, campers etc) is a 5-6 year life span, shorter if your vehicle is exposed to alot if sunlight and not garaged and/or treated with tire protectant. The sun and weather is your worst enemy. What you really need to watch for is cracks on the tires sidewalls. When you see them its time to replace. Also most tires come with date codes as a guide (week and year manufactured) like 47/20. 47th week of 2020. Hope this helps

I don't know if those only come in one fuel type.

    Good to know they allow metal roofs. 30yr roofs do not last 30 years down here. The sun, heat and storms put a lot of wear and tear on the roof. I have lived in Florida for almost 30 years and have replaced my roof for three times. One was from hurricane damage. Another roof replacement was from hail damage from severe thunderstorms.. Luckily my insurance covered two of my roof replacements. The Villages are inland so the roofs may last a little longer than the homes hear the coast. Metal and Clay tile roofs do better and last much much longer.

    • @bilyclub
      @bilyclub 3 роки тому

      The latest beef is concerning Lakeside Landing residents. They are off Rainey Trail/ CR 472 just West of TV. They have street legal carts which grants them access to the streets in TV. Some of these residents are claiming that the VCDD has told them they can access the Multi Modal Paths with their carts. The fact is that the MMP's are paid for and maintained by the residents of The Villages in their yearly maintenance assessment and are not public like the streets. This should preclude nonresidents from using the MMP's and produced the subsequent complaints. As to the gate passes, there is a golf cart only gate in the Historic Section that allows residents to access shopping areas on 441. A gate card is the only way to get in and out, hence the need for counterfeit gate passes by outsiders.

    Metal roofs are nice and last way longer than shingles. Linda....as far as heat is concerned...it would depend on the color just like a shingle roof. And from looks of it......if the villages themselves are using standing seam roofs on their buildings.......they have set the precedent for OK'ing standing seam roofs if you want them. I don't think they could say......"do as I say not as I do"....... Cost is more but is much better in the wind and longevity.
