Our land was flat and previously filled with river sand. Bushes as tall as a man's height was cleared in one day by a bulldozer. The engineer was rather pleased. He told us stories of difficult earthworks where gigantic boulders needed to be moved and deep mining pond was to be filled up. Well, we saved money on this.Next, the land surveyor came to locate the legal boundaries of our land. Believe it not, the art of surveying started in Egypt at 3000BC. So, people were concerned with territory and ownership way back then.
The surveyor also checked to make sure the house is facing the feng shui direction. As our land has an irregular pentagon shape, he helps us to mark a rectangular shape from it. Based on feng shui, rectangles are easier to plan and manage. We are going to leave the extra land out for non essential activities e.g. space for dogs to roam.
