Hutt man gives away his house bit by bit
Conrad Coom could not bear to see his Lower Hutt house bulldozed down and taken to the tip, so he decided to give it away.
A developer purchased the 1940s property and indicated he only wanted the land. Coom did not want to see the house go to waste so he decided to take the house apart and give it all away.
Coom hopes his story will shine a light on the lack of recycling within the property development industry. He’s removed the roof, flooring, weatherboards, fixtures, architraves and door jambs. All that’s left days out from officially handing over the keys is the framing, which Coom has not been able to take down so far due to a hold-up with the power company.
