Wow! sounds like a lot of jumping hoops and a lot of headaches. Hopefully your construction team can take some of it on for you and get things straightened out sooner then later and the whole build goes smoothly.
Once it's all over with, it will be well worth all the troubles.

~ Went to check on the new property today, have not been there for a couple of weeks. The star fruit trees are loaded with fruit..

~ I have planted hundreds of cactus pads in the easements, etc. for the future. It is amazing how they have grown. I will take pictures and share, it is incredible. I usually pick a five gallon bucket or two of new small tender pads for the younger tortoises and hatchlings at each visit just to control the new growth and ensure it continues growing upwards.

Are those leaves from the Star fruit tree?
Do you feed them to your group and do they enjoy eating them?

~ They are, basically i just cut them off because the entire limb was badly damaged from the heavy fruit. I need to actually cut it off at the snap, however i did not have by pole saw at that time. We have never fed the leaves, not sure if they are eatable or not.
