The Best Backyard Build winner
It was a very hard decision but we've chosen our winner of the Best Backyard Build as Todd Haswell of Raureka. Congratulations, Todd!
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.

This time, the property visionary is breathing new life into a 1960s-era building and turning it into a contemporary office for dairy giant Fonterra.

Poll: How do you find the CBD's parking system?
Confusion around central city parking is making it “too hard” for some, “so we don’t come in,” a CBD leader’s been told.
Complaints include a pricing structure that’s hard to get your head around, and that payment kiosks are hard to find and require too many buttons pushes, councillors heard.
How do you find the CBD's parking system? Tell us more in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).
