I have decided that this year either I'll build or will buy a House.
I bought some land in 2006 in partnership with my brother. Here are the steps involved in buying land in Fiji.
This is supposed to be a present for my parents.
So the complete design of the house was in my Mum's hands. I did so much research getting information and house plans in but the final decision was theirs. I had never thought that I'll be back to live with them. I had given up on believing that dreams can come true. :) Anyways the plans had been vetted by the Council before I even knew that I'll be moving and it was kinda late to make any changes.
Anyway I told Mum and Dad that the next House Plan will be as per my wishes :)
This is one major major reason why I was so much into buying a camera. I want to record the entire building process, the various stages... So hopefully I'll get my camera by 18th June and just keeping my fingers crossed on getting at least a couple of quotes by then....
