28 May 2013 The building will be capitalised when it is constructed and to be written off over the life of the lease (8 years)

The planks can also be charged off over a period of 5 years. You can also argue them to be temporary structures and treat accordingly.

As the mine is sold now, if the considerations involves some portion towards the house or the planks, take them to the respective accounts. If it is not so, charge off the balance in the house and planks to P/L.
