Our Cleared Block

Before

After
Its started. Leon was able to start clearing on Monday the 22nd of Feb. After about a total of 2 - 3 days work we are left with what you see below. It is great to see our veiw opened up even though it was a little sad to see all of the trees gone. All we hope is that the house we will be building will contribute 10x back to the environment than the trees that we have cut down. We will, of course, be re-planting alot and hopefully re-juvinating the area. Anyway, with that said, we are underway. It feels good to have finally started. The cutting should be finished by the end of the week.

Mother Nature's Delay

Who would have thought that on the day we could actually get the land clearing started that the Bega area has a record rain fall. 127mm in one day. Oh well, I think we might be delayed until next week. Fingers crossed.

Here We Go

We went out to site today and met with Leon. He is really keen to start and, depending on the weather, is able to start as early as Tuesday. We are really excited and can't wait. We have included some more photos we took this time so everyone can get an idea of the work to be done just to start building. Will be heading down next weekend to check on progress so this is the last time we will be seeing the block like this.

WE HAVE APPROVAL!!!

Well.......we just found out from council that we have approval to start building. All the paper work is being processed through council now and we should be able to start within the next week or 2. We just have to wait for our consturction certificate to come through after our '$520 Contribution' to coucil carparking. Will keep everyone posted but everything should start going gang busters over the next few months......so will keep everyone posted.
