Land Owners

Today is THE day - settlement day for our block of land. We went there last Monday and took some photo's, measured out some things, met the eldery neighbour (who was sweet as can be), and also met the Father of the guy who owns the other half of the block. The block is subdivided into 2 loooooong thin blocks, but big enough for both our home designs (the guy's Dad told us that his son was thinking of going through the same building company as us, and what design he was going with).

Anyhoo, now it's just a waiting game to hear back from the building company. We received our copy of the contracts, which means it's all a go. Now we wait for the council to do all their things (soil testing etc) and fingers crossed we get it all approved and building can begin on our home.

Here are some pics of our block. Ok so it's just a big patch of dirt and weeds at the moment, but visualise people lol

View from the front (our half is the left hand side)

View from the back fence (it's 100m long - 328feet)
Our car is roughly the half way point between the 2 subdivided blocks

How very exciting! Building your own house, while challenging, will be awesome in the end. Good luck on the waiting game with the council.
