Well we have finally submitted a tender on a property!! After 4 months of searching each weekend we have found a place that we like, and can imagine ourselves in, within our price range. It is a very nerve wrecking experience - finding out all the information, assessing how much we could spend, working out how much we actually want the property and there for how much we are willing to pay, filling out all the documents, getting the deposit cheque and now waiting till the tender closes to see if we have it.
It is a good size property so we have great plans for it. It would be an awesome in between step from residential living to lifestyle block. Ultimately we want to get a few acres but for now half an acre in the 'burbs' would be great. We have done a bit of WWOOFing in our time so we're keen to get into this again, only as a host this time. Checking out the requirements it isn't something that we can do straight away, more of a down the road plan once we have extra accommodation set up and know what we are doing. I love this stage though - endless planning without any of the restrictions. My trouble is the action after the plan. Luckily this is where himself comes in as he is great with just getting on with things.
The budget will definitely be tight, that is half the fun. Working out how we can create what we want on a shoestring, recycling were possible, getting our hands dirty and seeing our dreams become reality. Anyway before I get too excited about the whole thing we have to win the tender!! Fingers crossed that after 3pm tomorrow it is ours.
