Aww @Shaz51 it makes me so happy to read that you got quality time with the Shaz-hatching.

@TAB @Glisten @Shaz51 @tyme @Pilih and @ anyone else.

Absolutely magnificent day here once again atm.

God almighty this indecision's doing my head in l could be building my extension right now before winter and turning this place into a beautiful little house and property and set myself up.

lt'd be so damn nice.

l could be living in it and set in 4 or 5wks then just finishing the rest off as l go.

But my head is everywhere on it all it's doing my head in and wasting so much opportunity.

Thing is still the distances and of what's in between. Nothing, just miles of open v bland farmland for 30k in any direction.

Had to nick out the other day just for milk, 35 bloody k of nothing, ea way, thinking holy hell, l can't stand this bullshit this is ridiculous and l don't even like that little town.

My main towns 55k, lovely place and beach, but crikey can't go all that way just for bloody milk.

The other thing really getting to me is that apart from this tiny town right here, which is actually quite pretty, the property is too, but there's just nothing else here and nowhere to go from here and nothing happening at all, unless you wanna drive.

Go 1k up the in any direction and there's just nothing but that miles of wide open farmland.

Atm l just feel like selling it and just getting out of here. There's nothing l can do with the area.

But damn it, the property itself is so nice, town to really, even though it doesn't even have a shop.

But more than anything else l'd be set for life if l built that little house on it. Everything, just goes away- except the location that would be life if l did.

l'd be living way out here and driving a million k rest of my days.

Damned if l can get past that or make up my bloody mind.

Jezuz.

ldk hth to settle this and get out of this funk one way or other.

Beginning to think l should just except the fact those things will always be there , can't do a damn thing about it.

And that if they're giving me this much crap already, imagine in 5yrs time.

Thinking no bloody choice but to sell and if it sells, bide time until something in a better spot comes up.

lf l did get something else it'd be land only bc any houses are way outa my range, maybe just do a container house on that.

Pretty well similar thing to what l'd be doing here.

Although been scanning RE last few wks and there has been a few half finished places, like cool shed houses and similar, around what l could afford.

Only thing is in a good area that l actually like but l'd love to find something like that.

Hard stuff all done just needs finishing off, wouldn't mind that at all, l'm very handy in all that stuff.
