The Block Of Land
At the start of year we purchased the block of land where we plan to build our new home and tank.

We got 10 acres that is reasonably treed and needs quiet a bit of work to get ready.

Over the past 6 months we have been going out and clearing lantana and preping the block to get the surveyor out ready for the plans to be drawn.

From there we sort to get the drafting process started and the surveyor out to get a detail plan drawn up and construction drawings ready for council approval.

To do this 1st we still had a lot of lantana to clear for the surveyor to get access so we hired a bobcat to get in and help clear it out a bit faster.

with most of the lantana gone in the area we needed surveyed we had the surveyor come out and get the detailed plan done up which was just finished last week. With that done I used it to do up a rough idea of what we are going for on the block.

And this is were we stand atm waiting on the drafting agency to finish the construction drawings/site plan ready for council approval. This is expected to be finished by mid Nov

Gorgeous! Very scenic and I can only imagine how well you will sleep at night with no street lights or traffic noise. You will even have a shed full of cake from the looks of it!
