Seeing the way the land lies.....

Today Tony & I went out to our block to peg our house out so we could have a look at how our house would sit on the block in 2D.
So out we went armed with string, twine, stakes, tape measures, set square, hammer, water and 2 dogs.

Firstly we used the string to outline our block, then started measuring where the house would sit, using the set square to hopefully get it to sit straight, after getting all the stakes in we proceeded to use the bright orange twine in between the pegs to get the outline of the house, we were doing fine until Mia decided to run right through the twine, then Sorcha ran through the top of the house taking the twine down...silly dogs.

Hmm...not as much yardage as we thought...funny thing that, you know how much area you have but physically seeing it puts a whole new perception on it. But this was the whole idea of doing what we did.

After restringing the house it was time to take pics of it...unfortunatly the orange string didn't stand out as much as we hoped it would so we couldnt get one pic of the whole house :( but we did take lots of sectional photos...
