Today is the day that I’ve been waiting for. I finally get to go and actually walk the the piece of property that we are considering purchasing for our relocation project. I first met with the surveyor at Doc Kenny’s clinic and we discussed the survey and the real measurements and boundaries. The surveyor, Willy, has walked all over the property and is very familiar with the terrain. This land is about 20 minutes out of Escuintla and meets our social/economic criteria. There is a school, major road, accessible power, small stores, and a clinic all close by. We will have to dig a well for water but the surveyor says the water table is very close to the surface. The terrain is very uneven and there will have to be a lot of work to grade the land to fill in some very low areas. We were told that the property was 2.5 acres. After the survey was done we found out it was only 1.5 acres. After our discussion with Willy, the three of us headed to the property.
We toured the land, talked about some potential water run off problems and what it may take to grade the land. This took most of the day. I do like this land and its location but it will take a lot of work before we can even begin thinking about construction. This is the first time we have ever considered purchasing property and I think he is asking a little to much considering the real acreage. This is where I’ll have to have my game face on and start negotiations. Praise God from whom all blessings flow.
Kenny
