Preparing the Earth




Stone Creek, a Dell Webb 55+ community in southwest Ocala is growing by leaps and bounds. As I recall, it now consists of about 1600 homes and the community will cap out at about 3600 homes.

Before homes can be constructed, however, there's a great deal of ground work to be done ("ground work" - get it?)

Anyway, they're digging, they're laying pipe, they're rearranging the dirt, and they're working hard because Stone Creek is selling homes about as fast as they can be built.

    A lot of work for these guys, while it lasts.

    I guess those 55+ communities are popular. Lots of people will follow the lead and head down your way to enjoy the heat.

    Florida continues to grow. Will the land hold up or will it sink into the sea from the added weight.

    My littlest grandson would love to watch all of this digging! He gets so excited when he sees those big machines.

    Just read your comment and "far right" lane is exactly what that sign should say!

    Lots of work being done here, Lowell! Here in Montreal, I keep seeing condominiums being built everywhere I turn, and I prefer to see homes as opposed to condos.

    That second shot looks like a big sinkhole. It looks like the groundwork is digging through a lot of sand.

    This is serious work! I guess many people are attracted to live there because of the Florida sun.

    Good. More places for Canadians to spend the winter.

    Amazing that there's such demand for communities like this. I like our way of life where we have a mix of ages. But it is interesting to see the work being done.

    The Dell Webb company has been building communities for so long, my guess is that they know what they are doing. Quite a project.

    Referring back to your comment on my blog - I wonder if any of those 'Mrs Blackbird' lookalikes will be interested in moving here. I did laugh at your comment - no surprise :).

    Stone Creek looks like a popular residential area. My youngest grandson will be so excited watching such a big working vehicle.
