We're in! Just have to wait for the vendor statement to be drawn up so that we have something to sign and pay for!!!
Bloody Nora, we're actually gonna be doing it...and it's not scary at all!
Now, where to fence off paddock for horses...
So, we're gonna lease most of it to a cattle farmer for a while (as in more than a year) so they can take care of fertiliser and hay cutting etc. We keep some small tracts for ourselves (my plan to breed a couple of horses, DP to start up his own little herd) and build. That's all
DP reckons he wants to build on top of the hill, with us wanting to go solar power for the house, we dont' need to worry about how much getting power up that hill will cost, it will just be phone. DP is really keen to get that view to the Prom! Plus, more scope to put a pool in next to the house and have some flatter land to keep the horses on closer to the house (nervous to have them too far away where I can't see them easily). Then it's a long quad bike ride down the hill (all quad bikes to have roll bars!!), down the road and up the other road to get DS to school...ay! schools! Better look into that, and kindy's...
Wow, I have to learn some farm-talk fairly quickly!
Nelle - It took us about 40 mins tops to get to Venus Bay (where we're planning a family holiday home between MiL, us and BiL), so it's ideal.
ETA: Feeb - I love how it's close to the important things - beach, shops, beach, and ... beach! Meh, who needs the Westies, anyway? He he!
Thanks girls! I thought this would be a long journey, but it's unfolded quickly. From here it's gonna be long, though - moving, building, moving then building again.
I've got a friend in Fish Creek who is also CFA, so she can give me the lowdown on that front (pardon the pun), and she's also excited to have a friend move INTO her area, for once!
Thanks, BG, will pick Nae Nae's brain soon
Still, nothing's signed yet, so I'll put a lid on my excitement and get through this week till such a time as I can get all excited again...
