Wow! Ages since I have updated this blog.
The blocks were finally titled on 5 February 2010. There was a rush to get transfer of ownership of Troy and Zoe's block and get their house started. They had to start by a specific date for the first home owner's grant and Foxy was at the ready with diggers waiting for the call that sign over had been completed. Their house and pool are now well and truly finished a year down the track.
We were going to build houses on two of the remaining blocks but the accountant advised against it - not only a crappy time for selling but GST would then kick in and cost us MORE money; as if the CGT won't be enough. We should have consulted him before we had plans drawn and colours choices made lol. They were sold at end 2011. The remaining block has been kept and will be Big G's. It is a huge relief to no longer have that huge debt hanging over us . Well, I still have a debt; consequence of building a house, buying furniture etc.
April 2010 - a 3.15kW solar system was added to my house; affectionately known as Son of HAL. I have paid no electricity bills for over a year now and, in fact, have been getting paid by AGL for what I export.
Still trying to get yard and gardens into some semblence of order. Money money money - it all costs!
I must try to put up some pics of the trees I had planted. They have grown so much!
