Turning Ground

I have a heap of posts that I want to go back and enter regarding our time at Studio M and all the hassles we have had along the way. Whilst finance has been HUGE, there have been many other dramas with things like Town Planning and whether or not the half-dead 8ft wattle right in front of where the garage should be is allowed to be removed!

I had planned to do all these things in the holidays (starting next week), however - TOMMORROW is SITE DAY!

We arrived home today to find that the surveyor had been and marked out the 50% cut/fill line and had made a few other marks in the ground. Due to the size of the slope and the amount of fill to come in, the excavation will take 2 whole days (Friday & Monday).

This quick start has caught us napping in terms of getting other things ready such as HSTP and tree removal. Hopefully these can be resolved quickly and do not stop progress. It will be interesting to see where we are at come Christmas time!

 

The photo shows our block - the far right side is our current house and the red outline is where the new house will be roughly located. I will start to add photos from the ground once work starts.
