Guest-house - first visitors
After much work our humble outbuilding has been reborn as a cosy cottage. While there are still a few improvements and finishing touches required Emily and Keith have proved that it is very much suitable for short term occupancy.

'Frack Free' Tshirts for sale
Every good cause needs a t-shirt!
With the groundswell movement against fracking in NZ gaining momentum, Blockhill decided to create a slogan and t-shirt to represent the view that New Zealand should be 'frack free'.

New roof for the guest house
The revitalisation of the guest house has been under way for some time but a major milestone has been reached - the new roof is going on.
I had been putting it off for as long as possible (excuses such as waiting for chimney were used) but with summer waning it is clear the leaky old iron needs to go.
This project makes use of most of the recycled concrete roofing tiles I got back before we purchased the property.
