First steps

My mom got the land officially. There are several reasons for this decision, but I don't want to go to details. Anyway she signed the purchase deed on 9th of September. I like that date: 09. 09. It's nice symmetrical. Plus 9 has a very high energy value and other good meaning in numerology. She payed most of the price righ than. She got the keys to the gate a couple of days later. Than she gave the other part of the sum to the now ex-owner. Finally, we got a piece of land. Woo-hoo! Unfortunately bureaucracy fucked up all the summer. So, the good weather was gone. We didn't care. Me and my family got into the car and went to the land on the weekend. I named it: A birtok. This hungarian word means a land estate which only noble people had in the past. Usually these were in the contryside and villein could not own such property in former times. Funny thing is that my mom actually has noble ancestors and her family had estates in five different villages in the past. But, that was long time ago. :) Anyway, this is how it looked like when we went there at the first time and walking on the land as our own:

Yes, that blueish spot at the middle is my mom. :) End of the land is at just beside the edge of the picture on the left, as you see the line of concrete posts going, beyond that overhanging big bloody bush. It is approximately 30 meters (33 yards) wide and 147 meters (160 yards) long. We couldn't go further by car because of the overgrown vegetation. Even we have had to cut a little spot first to get into the property. The yellow sign on the fence is a marker for the gasline. So, if we decide to get local propane later on, which is very common comfort thing in Hungary in every household, the outlet is right there beneath the surface. That's a huge saving as well. It means we don't have to pay to the gas company to bring the gasline in to the area. I don't want to use propane now, but it's a nice option for the future. That cable at the middle top is the electricity.

Remember this picture. Hopefully you will see some very different within a year.
