Mango Land

A few of you might have picked up that I was interested in the plots either side of the location of TD Towers? Well, the top side lady priced herself right out of my budget (lol, just about everyone's budget, in fact) when she suggested I might like her plot for 1,000,000. I assume she was talking about the land and that was not some sort of euphemism?

That left Lady Mango and her precious plot.

I previously tried to buy it but she too kept upping the price, so I left it. Apparently she actually thought that without her piece, I could not build my house. She came to her senses not long after visiting hers and saw TD Towers and the Chonburi Hilton risen out of my land.

So a new negotiation took place, at less than she had last asked and low 'n' behold... agreement was reached! I am telling this now as its an agreed deal - I am taking the money out of the bank here in Dubai today.

That plot makes good sense for us. We can now extend the car parking zone (no... not to a 15 car Tesco 'low-tas' car park favoured by PJ), to now include a 2-car carport structure. It extends the overall plot for the house, so future-proofs any other build or extension we might do. It takes zone 3 (when we build it), off the previous boundary as we now own the land on the other side of the boundary. We might consider a water tower now as we could 'lose' it amongst the trees. We will probably relocate the drain field into a corner of the new plot and lastly... we gain a whole bunch of mature and well-fruiting mango trees.

i just found a recipe for mango wine on line so that might be a lil' side project for the future
