Reno blogging saved one couple $35k... but it didn't come cheap

Kylie Klein Nixon Reporter from Homed

I've always thought of reno blogging as a way to document a difficult process in a fun, relatable way. The benefit? Emotional support and maybe advice from folks following your journey - and maybe a little ego bump from showing off your mad wallpapering skills.

I've always thought of reno blogging as a way to document a difficult process in a fun, relatable way. The benefit? Emotional support and maybe advice from folks following your journey - and maybe a little ego bump from showing off your mad wallpapering skills.
If you're lucky, and good, you might be given a couple of cans of paint from your local hardware store, to help you on the way - but that would be the icing on the tip of the social media cake.
Few of us would have the energy or knowhow to turn their reno into a part time side hustle that's both creatively fulfilling, and engaging.
But that's exactly what Moochstyle's Shayden and Georgia Whipps have done - with some pawsome help from their gorgeous dog Frankie. They've been blogging their Christchurch villa reno since they bought their home and Shayden shared their story with us for the final episode of First Rung, our podcast. A first time homeowner and renovator, Shayden is such an inspiring guy to chat with. He makes you want to jump in and give it go. Check out his story and let us know what you think.

Hi Canterbury,

Addington Raceway was a sell-out for the annual New Zealand Trotting Cup, the most prestigious and richest harness racing event in the country.

With the event attracting racegoers around Aotearoa, officials agree that this race has a positive impact on the local economy. On the other side, animal rights activists SAFE states that using horses for sport puts immense pressure on a horse's anatomy and that the sport should not be continued.

Do you think horse racing should be banned?

Five years after causing anger and anxiety in Christchurch’s coastal communities, the council is taking a new approach to tackle the impact of rising sea levels.

Christchurch City Council is embarking on a lengthy process to figure out how its low-lying coastal and inland communities will adapt to the ramifications of climate change.

Sea levels around the country are projected to rise by about 37 centimetres within 30 years and just over a metre by 2100.

The solutions for each community are likely to be different so the council has split areas into seven different groupings covering 23 communities, and is tackling each grouping separately.

The first communities to undergo planning will be Charteris Bay, Teddington, Allandale and Governors Bay in Lyttelton Harbour, which will happen over the next 18 months to three years.

The council expects it will take at least 10 years to complete adaptation plans for all the city’s coastal areas from Brooklands through to Sumner and across Banks Peninsula.

Residents in a quiet Christchurch street are frustrated at a decision to allow a former rest home to operate as a boarding house.

Erica Lodge, in Papanui, has been granted resource consent to provide accommodation for up to 73 people.

Co-owner Greg Nell​ said he was pleased with the decision and was looking forward to getting the business going, with the first people expected in April next year.

But neighbour Leanne Ward​ said she and other residents were disappointed with the decision and had been left with few options to prevent the boardinghouse operation from going ahead.

An expensive judicial review was their only avenue of appeal.
