Building with Logs in New Zealand (book)

Cordwainer from Melville

Building with Logs in New Zealand

Bill Knight, Liz Brock.

Log House Publishing Company, Limited, 1989.

Soft cover, 128 pages, illustrated.

Very good condition.

Log homes are as special as the people who build them. Handcrafted and individual, these buildings reflect their owners' personalities in a unique way. The art of log building has undergone a worldwide renaissance in recent years, in North America, Japan, the United Kingdom and New Zealand.

In this book New Zealand log builders Bill Knight and Liz Brook set out to describe and illustrate the various stages of building a log home. In clear, lively style they cover cost, drawing up plans, selecting and felling trees, choosing a site, laying foundations, the tools for the job and how they work and the different building techniques.

Price: $10

What do you think of this 11-year-old's chosen cause?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

A Whangamatā 11-year-old has placed his award-winning mullet up for auction to raise money for Starship Hospital.

Kahū Hall, who named himself ‘Taco’ when he was three years old, is selling his mullet after growing it for three years. Taco said he was motivated to raise the money after his friend Evie Taylor stayed at Starship Hospital for a heart operation.

What do you think of this 11-year-old's chosen cause? Tell us in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).
