Ok, one more bloody Council story

So you thought you had read the last council story here?....... Me too!

This one, like the others made my day so I thought I would share them with you cause that's the kind of person I am.

So it goes like this...... on Monday I answered a call from, lets say, trusted council employee, "Hello Mrs Nichols it's .... here. I have just had a look at your application for your shed. I noticed the colours you have chosen are surf mist, Um we don't approve anything to be built in surf mist at Murrumbateman. You will have to choose another colour and re submit your plans, that will only take a week or two and cost more money"

So I said " Oh I guess it won't match my home then that you have already approved to be built in surf mist then"

Long silence

"Oh really, did we? I will have to call you back, I don't know why we would have done that"

Mmmmmmmm 2 Minutes later

"Hello Mrs Nichols, Um yes we did approve your house, we will approve your shed but won't issue your building certificate until you drive out to Yass and sign the paperwork"

The rest of the conversation is not important or printable here.... I drove to Yass, only 40minutes each way so no biggie!! I put my initials on the paper and I drove home.

Now I have a theory that the Yass council has shares in the oil companies, anyone with me?

Offending Surf Mist colour

Have a lovely day and yes pictures will happen very soon

We have started

Well you would never believe but we have started...... I wouldn't joke about this. It is all true. The digger came out, late but none the less, he has cut in the driveway tried to pull down the couple of trees that must come down much to my disgust as they are beautiful and cut a pad for the house.

How excitement!, watch this space photos soon!

Well maybe not

It has still been a while since anything happened. BUT I do hear that we should have the few trees that have to come down starting next Monday.... Now seems I have heard that a few times before. Fingers crossed it actually happens this time.

Time will tell, watch this space!
