Property Design

Posted by Norman Joseph Smith about 11 years ago

This is the design I've done for this property.

Hi all

I attach the design for this property.

The property is divided into approximately half. We will have the top (north) half and the design has focussed on that area. The bottom half will be developed privately at a later date, following techniques applied in the top half.

There is enough room for 5 zones. Major dam work in is not planned. Once the property is well hydrated, chinampas are planned for the lower lands of the property.

Sergio is working 7 days a week in outback Australia to raise money for the project. He intends to return to Chile with me in February 2014.

Diego has been working with the lawyer to make the legal documents to form a not-for-profit foundation. He intends to return to Chile in December 2013.

Thanks for all your interest.

Norman Joseph Smith : Hi Sarvesvara Yes we do. Feb. 2014 we intend to start construction of the building (Zone 0), vegetable garden (Zone 1) and swales stage 1 (as mentioned in the design). Other things happening will depend on those. :-)

Norman Joseph Smith : I see I've made this and a few other posts in my general profile area, not the area of the specific project. So I'm going to copy them to the specific project and eventually remove them from my general profile area.
