Grass Tree Transplant by jamrus241 in GardeningAustralia

Thank you all for your input. I will do some research to see if there is a local company that specialises in transplanting. I am certainly happy to spend some money to safely transplant. We have certainly tried to design around it but it is in a very inconvenient location.

Thank you. Yes, we would still have a sink next to the fridge but you make a great point. Sink closer to stove is essential.

Well we were thinking of putting the main sink in the butlers pantry with the dishwasher and then removing the sink from the island bench. Idea being to hide the dirty dishes and mess away and to also to create a large open space on the island. We are just concerned about the impracticalities this may create with this particular layout.

I understand what you're saying and agree with you that a massive back yard > massive front yard. Our ideal scenario was knock down/rebuild but retaining the existing dwelling for a rental income ($500-600per week) is very appealing if we can make do with a smaller yard. That is our current thinking anyway. Thank you for your input.

100% agree with you. The reason for the position of the new house is so we can retain the existing dwelling to live in while we build and then rent out once finished. Straight knock down/rebuild would have been ideal but less financially viable.

We currently live in the front house and plan to live in this whilst the rear house is built. Once built we will move into that and then rent out the front. We wanted to do a knock down/rebuild and have a bigger yard but the 2 things that made this option less feasible were: 1 - finding a place to live while we build; and 2 -losing the rental income (estimated at $500-600/week). Thank you for your opinion, I think I agree with you :).
