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."

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.

🚮 Food Waste Tip for Aucklanders! 🌿
Did you know you don’t need to buy pink bags for your food waste before placing it in the green Auckland City bins? You can use almost any bag—or, like me, simply toss your food scraps straight in.
After collection, just give the bin a quick hose down to keep it fresh and clean. Easy, eco-friendly, and no extra cost! ♻️🌱

🌟 Pro Tip: Feeling Invisible? You Matter More Than You Know! 🌟
It’s easy to feel overlooked sometimes, but your presence, wisdom, and experiences are valuable! Here are some ways to step back into the spotlight and feel seen:
💬 Speak up – Your thoughts and stories are worth sharing. Engage in conversations, even if it’s just a smile and a hello.
🤝 Join a group – Whether it’s a travel club, a hobby group, or volunteering, being part of a community reminds you that you belong.
👗 Dress for yourself – Wear something that makes you feel confident and joyful—it changes how you carry yourself!
📝 Share your knowledge – Whether it’s mentoring, writing, or storytelling, your experiences can inspire others.
💜 Be kind to yourself – You are not invisible. You do matter. And the right people will always see you.
