Goodwill Shop in Terrace End Broadtop shopping centre closing
Just went there today and they are closing on January 15, permanently. Apparently their Highbury store is closing too. Shocked. Are the Methodists opting out of having op-shops? Anyone know more about this?

What's your experience with pre-fabricated homes?
The Sunday Star-Times is looking into the rise of transportable/ kit-set/ pre fabricated homes. The upsides are build-efficiency, quality of design, and cost. The downsides appear to be land supply, red-tape with council and difficulty getting lending from banks. If you're willing to share your experience - good or bad - email kelly.dennett@stuff.co.nz, otherwise leave a comment. Is there an aspect of transportable housing you'd like us to enquire about for you?
