Architect Drawings

Most people know I have finally bought a property after all these years of avoiding it like the plague. I always thought that buying a property is the ultimate tie down. I would suddenly stop buying my lunch, stop traveling, stop being able to pick up and go when I wanted. Yes, I have had a mortgage over shares for a long time but you can always sell those at a moments notice. I don't know what made me change my mind last year. I just felt like it was time. I read a book, did a course and finally bought a property in Camberwell. The plan is to knock down the rather decrepit house and build some town houses. A month or so ago I finally got the plans back from the architect. I was pleasantly surprised. They actually looked good which in turn made me fell good that the right decision was made. Here is the floor plans. There are two. Click on the picture to make it bigger.



And from the side. The front one is a double story while the back one is a single story.


The process from now on is long one. Apparently it takes the council a year to check the plans, publish the fact there is a building going up, wait for responses and generally sit on there arses. Meanwhile I am paying interest. I am sure it will turn out all right.

And I still buy my lunch everyday and planning on traveling to Europe this year. Guess it didn't tie me down after all.
