His entry reads:
A couple of years ago my wife said "Can you make me a cuppa tea area down the back? Something with a cover over it."
Me being a graphic artist by trade, I went overboard and made this. Most of the timber is offcuts or leftover from years of not throwing anything out. The doors are from the old Napier Hospital. The two side ones open up on top like stable doors. At night lights come on in the windows (solar), which makes it look like a little house. However the back wall is the centre door.
We think his entry is very creative and impressive. Give this post a Like if you agree!
This wraps up our Backyard Awards - we hope you enjoyed taking part and seeing your neighbour's creations.
Sofa with pop out legs things
Has been ripped, is a little worse for wear but with a cover its still super comfy!

Waka Kotahi, the NZ Transport Agency will send you a driver licence renewal pack about eight weeks before your licence is due to expire.
You can also apply up to 6 months before you turn 75 by downloading the form yourself or requesting one from a driver licencing agent near you.
As part of the renewal, you will need to:
👉 get a medical check by your doctor showing that you are medically fit to drive and
👉 you may also have to do an on-road safety test (this depends on what your medical check results are).
Once your medical check certificate states that you are fit to drive, and you have done an on-road test if required, you can complete the application form and visit a driver licensing agent to apply in person. When you apply, your medical check results must not be older than 60 days.

Electric couch with recliners plus center folds down with usd and power ports. Has wear but cover would sort that. Replace with new one so need it gone from our shed.
No longer needed and want moved from shed. Queen base could do with a tidy up and mattress has wear on the corners with one hole on the side due to movers dragging it when shifting a couple of years ago. Was a good mattress until that happened.Please see photos.
