Houseblogging: essential services

The floor and essential services have been installed on site since our last visit. We now have a floor, veranda, water tank and sewage treatment system.

We also met our immediate neighbour today who was busy planting trees along the boundary to provide privacy. That saves us a job! His name is Doug has six young cows in his paddock and his parents have bought the plot close to the entrance of the sub-division, so its a real family affair.

Most importantly he's put his building plot far away from ours close to the opposite boundary, the best possible position from our perspective and affords him the best possible views from his higher ground. A sorry tale of his very sick architect though which means that his house planning is currently limited to landscaping and groundworks.

Our underfloor insulation - a kiwi rarity!
