Arriving at the Skyline factory in Ocala
Casey and Ed welcome us
The grey haired worker with the hard hat and shawl is Jan - very few of the Skyline workers wore shawls so she was easy to find
There it is ... our home on the production line... January 18, 2016
The north side of the house on the left, the south side of the house on the right
Trimming the tar paper before the roof is shingled
That's Jan giving manufacturing advice to the guy in charge (Ed)
The south side of the house resting on the I-beams that will get it to Melbourne
The south half with the box-bay windows
The south half with the sliding glass door from the kitchen into the future porch
Windows into the dining room
Installing siding next to the front door
Jan and Ed in the dining room next to the rest of the kitchen cabinets
The galley kitchen with the breakfast area at the other end
The door going left will be to the washer and dryer
This is from the breakfast area looking the other direction
The punch list making sure everything gets done
We complained to Ed about the quality of the ceiling fixture in the dining room... he said it was Early American
Dry-wall expert on stilts
Looking from the dining room across the gap to the living room in the north half
Gosh, I hope these sections end up closer together when everything is done
The L.R.
The north half of the house
This worker is in the master bedroom with the master bath in the back
Have you ever tried going down the stairs backwards on stilts?
Saying goodbye to Ed... a very knowledgeable, competent, and patient tour guide (he's the one who drew our house plans)
Another home ready to head down the highway in two sections
....and this is where our home is going, in Melbourne
... and now it is in Melbourne, in two sections and parked around the corner from the final destination
Jan is peeking in the window of her sewing room
Our new nextdoor neighbor, unsold as yet
A bit more preparation and they will move our home on to this site
The next time I shoot this picture, our home will be to the left of this one
I didn't take this so the angle is different - it's on the site where it will stay
On the site - and now to continue the process
The siding is finished
We now have an address on Seagate Drive
It's been raining a bit... time for some inside work while things dry out
A necessity for Florida... the AC people are on the scene
Here's the shot I said I would take from our next door neighbor
From the north side... someday, there will be more homes in this space
Where the driveway will be
The plants and trees on the other side of the yellow wall from our back yard
North side with more dirt ready
A little further along, ready for the driveway
The neighbor's house coming right along
Dining area and kitchen
Kitchen
Jan's sewing room
Gary's Ham Shack - doesn't look like much - yet
Living room. They promised to move the siding before we move in.
Foundation for the porch added.
"Backyard"
Melbourne. Ready to move in March 18, 2016
