But lets talk rather about progress this week.
We still don't have transfer...but, we have no done everything that needs to be done to get the bond registered.
- I have municipal approval (for the cottage we told the bank we are going to build)
- We have an enrolment certificate from National Home Builders Registration Council.
- We have " Builder's All Risk" insurance cover.
So we sign with the attorneys at 13:00 tomorrow.
Everything should then be plain sailing till the transfer is registered at the deeds office in Cape Town. This should take about three weeks. I can't think of anything that can go wrong but still I feel that nagging fearfulness welling up in my stomach.
Other than the procedural work toward transfer the work this week has been as follows:
- Continuing to clear Ink Berry (Cestrum laevigatum)
- Continuing work clearing Port Jackson and Black Wattle from the path that will become our driveway.
- Continuing to train the cattle to the electric fence
- Bought a charger for the 12 volt motorbike battery I am using to charge the electric
- returned the charger, then bought the correct charger with the correct amp rating
- Selling three oxen at the Fischers Corner Auction yesterday
- 1 at 246 kg for R2300.00 or R9.34 per kg
- 2 at 339 kg (average) for R3300.00 or R9.73 per kg
- total income - R8900.00 less comission at R710.00 and costs at R29.70 = R8159.99
- (not to self - never sell at Fitches corner again - prices too low)
I am feeling a bit tired this afternoon, but I can see we are moving forward.
