Surveying the house.....

SOOOOooooo... what an adventure that was today!

I met the surveyors on site for a 9am meeting........... by 9:20am, they werent there, so I checked with Mike to make sure he had the right day again... lol.... yep he did... they were in Helensville, so 10 minutes away.... Im not sure which Helensville he was in, but it took him another 25 mins to get to the block.... NOT HAPPY JAN!!

So... we first measure out the shed, and make sure that its at least 6 metres from the boundary... yep! sure is! Next, make sure the shed is 3 metres from the house... yep! Place peg in ground! Place peg in South West corner of house... yep! Place peg in North East Corner of house.... yep! Place peg on South East corner of Master Ensuite... yep! Place Peg on North West side of the house.... yep! WRONG!!!!! My house is damn well CROOKED! FIX IT!

So whinge whinge moan moan, nope it can't be done... blah blah blah.... I call Mike, I nearly have a cry....

The Builder has to be called, they send up the Digger guy (who is awesome I have to say!), and YEP, my house is NOW positioned, WHERE I WANT IT! AWESOME! So a HUGE thanks goes out to Aaron, for coming and sorting out the surveyors (and he is the excavator, not the surveyor... and he telling THEM how to do their job... what is wrong with that picture???).....

Anyway... here is a photo of the surveyors.... will take pics of pegs tomorrow, as I was feeling too crook to stay out in the cold... :( boohoo for me!
