How cozy was your winter?
Gas fireplaces are a great way to heat your home. Not only are they efficient at heating, they're also nice to look at. Gas fireplaces come in array of different styles and can be installed almost anywhere in your home. With the push of a button you can be heating your home, fast! Most gas fireplaces also now come with the ability to be controlled from your phone via an app - which means, if you're out and about and you want a warm house to come home to, just turn the fireplace on via the app - how cool is that?!
(The gas fireplace featured in this picture is a Rinnai Neo Inbuilt which we installed to replace an old 1970's inbuilt wood burner).
Driven On The Akatarawa Rd Lately?
If so, its good to know you are still alive and reading this.
We have a function to go to over Christmas up that way and having heard a few hairy stories about the road, I went up there on Thursday to check it out. The road's ok, narrow and winding, but not much worse than a Wellington hill suburb. What was pretty scary was the behavior of other drivers. Three vehicles heading the other way at speed would have crashed into me if I hadn't been pulled off the road. I had pulled in to check the address when a truck came flying past, taking up all of the narrow road at speed. There is no way the driver would have been able to stop had they come around the corner immediately in front of me. The other two drivers came hurtling past as I had turned in to turn around and come back down the hill. They were also driving at speed and taking up most of the road. Coming back down I passed another car coming up and estimate that the safe speed to pass another car was about 30-35 kms.p.h. So, now we're thinking, do we go to the function or not.? Feels a bit like we're taking our life in our hands going up there. Drivers appear to be overconfident, and they are courting serious injury.
