The slowest development thread ever.........

Here is the wall and supports that will be underground, this is to prevent the piled high infill to stay in place and out of the government canal. The road corners at this junction and so this is our access point on to the land.


This is the view ontop of the raised site, looking over a small portion of the land raised (plot 1) and the other plot which extends about 3/4 to the end line of tree's. We are slightly raised to the road( 20-30cms) but from the surrounding land we are about 1.5 to 2 meters higher currently, this will settle over the 2 year period and we will maintain compressing and landscaping in that time.


Here we have the wall from the goverment canal side, it still needs to be rendered in parts, and you can see pipes for drainage from rainfall as it will be underground. The rebar sticking up is ground level and marks the support colums underneath.


This picture shows the length of plot 1, as you can see the wall and its construction are still on going as of yet. In fill will be added 1 month after the wall has been rendered to level the land and then we can get a better look at the prospects for building.



Here we have plot 2 looking onto plot 1, it runs directly straight from the left side(all the way from the start), and jutts out slightly on the right to continue straight along. At the moment i am not going to fill this and go throught the expense of raising the land and building a wall. We might indeed raise the land slightly to about 0.8- 1 meter and have it sloping gradually towards the canal. This is going to be decided later when we have more concrete ideas about design and layout.


Finally surveying the plot from the road, we hope to get the tree's moved that in the way of the mountain for a small fee(of course) as they rest on neighbouring land. We also might consider buying up the buildings to the left they occupy a small space of about 100 sqm and then build and connect to the larger plot, maybe a gate house or other?

Anyway for now that is about it, any suggestions or information would be greatly appreciated and any other funnyiness to boot!

cheers 2 years to go.............
