A BRILLIANT REBUILD & REPAIR in Waipukurau by a couple.
A builder and his wife also with building experience were interested in this house. They waited and eventually bought it, but in very degraded condition. Together they spent over 2 years full-time, recreating it with recycled timber. They also removed some sheds which had been at the back and extended and raised the back half of the house to get a clear and outstanding view of central Hawkes Bay across to the North and the Ruahine Range. (Built 1910)

Mute Swan. 2017-1
Mute Swan. Note the interesting parallel, horizontal lines on the swan. I suspect they might be created by reflections from the ripples on the water surface. Please enlarge.
