Browse Forums Building A New House Re: So far so good now the dream is being built. 4Aug 03, 2007 4:18 pm No matter how many homes you own - it's always a thrill - even when you get the next one.
Great to see you so excited about your life acheivements. For without something to be excited about - what is there to be excited about? So what else have folks done when they've got their new house. I've camped with my wife on our 5 acre block - just so we could enjoy living where we did and watching the stars and the comets above. And remember - The trick is to not stop doing those things that are special Steve The fun of owning a block 5Aug 03, 2007 4:26 pm I think the neighbours will think we are nuts by now. We have our land for a couple of years before we started building. Since owning the block we have
1) Cut the block 1 acre with a little ride on mower and then raked the whole block and left the grass clippings in a neat pile ( I think we were a little excited that we had just bought it) 2) Visited it regularly when nothing changed it is just grass!! 3) Regularly have friends over put up a portible gazebo shade have drinks kick around a ball the kids ride a little pee wee around ect Basically just treat it like our local park 4) Put up a 20metre X 10 metre tarp just as a practice run for camping ohh and it was extremely windy so there was tarp, poles and ropes flying everywhere 5) This weekend we are having a slab party. BBQ lunch on the site with our friends and all the kids. We will share a slab of beer. Only problem is they have already started framing the house. So now we have to call it the slab frame party, damn them builders moving to fast The guys all wanted to camp there overnight but I put a stop to it as thats just going to far. So have fun its not everyday you get to build a house!
