Traditional villa frontage hides hi-tech surprise

Reporter Homed

How cool is this? It may appear to be a typical villa, but look again...

Behind the picket fence and framed windows, there's a drive-in garage and two-car stacker... and a definite spy film vibe when the house opens up to reveal its secret.

How cool is this? It may appear to be a typical villa, but look again...

Behind the picket fence and framed windows, there's a drive-in garage and two-car stacker... and a definite spy film vibe when the house opens up to reveal its secret.

Jon Smith from Matter Architects came up with the idea as a way of preserving the heritage-protected character of their Auckland villa - and it's given us a serious case of garage envy!

Looking for a loving family for a beautiful dog

Hi All
We have adopted 1 year old dog about a month ago.
It is a Labrador cross Staffy.
Beautiful and smart black & white dog.
His name is Buddy. Someone abounded him at Whitford Road and drove away.
We felt sorry for him and have tried to give him a loving home.
We never had a dog before, so we found ourselves struggling raising him.
We have had two individual training sessions with him already (out of four in total) with a professional dog trainer, so Buddy knows to obey for "Sit", "Lay" , wait for permission to eat, walk along (heeling, but still need to work on it) and more. Even for the last several days he comes back to us after calling him and he won't go outside the house without permission.

Buddy is unfortunately too big on us as a first dog and we are trying to find for him a good and loving home.

According to the trainer (9K) he is a smart dog that can be trained easily.

He has got his first vaccination as well as worms and fleas treatment.

The vet (at Beachlands clinic) says he is a vital, healthy dog.

Whether you like to see Buddy and give it a go please contact us. We are leaving at Beachlands Auckland.

Howdy all. Here at Wasp Wipeout we thought we'd give you some information on how to deal with the wasp that most populates urban gardens - the paper wasp.

Paper wasps can be easily identified by their long, drooping back legs and laid-back, slow style of flying.

Asian, Australian and European paper wasps have gradually made their homes around our houses and fences and over the past few years and while they are useful for some unwanted bugs like the great white cabbage butterfly, unfortunately they aren't picky and have been feasting on our monarch butterfly caterpillar and other useful native bugs as well.

At Wasp Wipeout we are working hard to help raise funds to wipe out the most invasive species of wasps - the vespula (common and German) variety which inhabit a lot of our bush areas and regularly invade picnics and barbecues. To help us fight this species you can donate here
