The second hurdle... still pleasing the experts

We are beginning to creep forward, inch by inch...which is still an improvement of 2 steps forward and 3 steps back.
Following on from Neal-the-Architect's second meeting with the bushfire consultant, we now have tentative agreement to let us build on the cliff. We owe an enormous debt of gratitude to Neal's friend Mark, who also attended the meeting with his experience in Tasmanian Fire Service in his armoury.
So what the bushfire consultant has said is that if we build to Bushfire Attack Level (BAL) 40 with clearing around the building envelop to the level of BAL-29, then we should be able to do it.
However, we noticed that his assessment was based on a building envelope of 400m2... and given that we are only looking at a building envelope one quarter that size, his estimate may be overconservative.
So... we are back to getting further land surveying done.
Once John has the results of the further land surveys, we will be able to finalise a building site.
When a building site is decided on.... Neal can actually start designing!!!!!
And THEN, once we have a basic design, Neal can take this back to the bushfire consultant a third time to confirm the appropriate clearance and construction requirements in line with the relevant BAL for a house of that size.
The Android is already looking frowny... he is concerned about his potential inability to envisage a finished building from initial designs...

Viktoria doesn't think the Android's visualisation capabilities are as limited as he thinks. Still... this could be the next phase of our own personal development on the journey...
