Simply wash down with Resene Timber and Deck Wash then finish with the Resene Woodsman range of wood stains. Choose from a wide range of colours, from traditional wood stains to a beachy whitewashed finish. Or go for the natural look with Resene Furniture and Decking Oil.
If you’re planning on a dark colour, remember to choose a Resene CoolColour version of your colour. This will help to reflect more heat to keep your deck and furniture cooler and more comfortable to walk or sit on.
Visit your local Resene ColorShop and see the huge range of options on their woodcare stand to help you bring out the best in your home.

She knows what she's talking about, too. Not only did she smash more than $90k of debt in three years, but in the year since she paid it off, she's saved enough, on top of her Kiwisaver, to pay the deposit on a home of her own.
It wasn't easy, and Tracy would be the first person to tell you that! But it is doable. Check out how, and have a listen to our episode of First Rung about Settlement day, on this link below. It includes some tips from Tracy on setting up a budget to manage your finance when you have a mortgage to pay.
Hi local Neighbours,

Kind regards

Wellington audiences are in for a real treat, with a dynamic New Zealand cast featuring many principals back in New Zealand on pause from their careers around the world.
The production of Don Giovanni is directed by Sara Brodie, with designer Meg Rollandi, and Matthew Ross as Music Director, with the Wellington Opera Chorus and Orchestra Wellington.
This is a bold yet timeless production offering food for thought for our times whilst embracing the theatricality of old.
Don’t miss it… with only four shows in April 2021, buy your tickets now!

Lower Hutt mayor Campbell Barry, Hutt South MP Ginny Andersen, and Hutt-based List MP Chris Bishop will pen a joint letter to Wellington Airport owner Infratil, as well as newly appointed bus operator Tranzit.
“Quite clearly all of us are really disappointed at the decision not to include the Hutt in the new run,” Barry said.
Wellington Airport announced on Monday the Airport Flyer would return under a new operator in early 2021, and would feature Snapper card payments and Metlink’s Real Time Information screens, both of which were removed from the service in 2019.
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.

Developer Kevin Melville said the $15 million project, alongside other apartment complexes, would establish a new inner-city community that would help drive business in the central city.
The units will be available in about 14 months.
Wellington developer Ian Cassels is also working on a major development nearby featuring a mix of apartments and retail.
Hutt City Council estimates 9606 new houses will be needed to be built in the city by 2047 to keep up with population growth.

This week meet bus driver Vince Tamihere.
Vince Tamihere reckons he has the perfect job, driving buses for Tranzurban.
Based in Grenada Village, he covers Wellington City and Porirua.
"I love my job. I am proud and privileged to serve our communities and to get paid for it."
Driving kids to Pauatahanui School is a run he particularly enjoys.
Recently, he posted about helping a 13 year-old girl, who was waiting at a station at 11.30pm on a wet Friday night.
Vince asked if she was okay and was told she was waiting for her parents to pick her up.
Vince waited until her parents arrived and was delighted to receive two boxes of chocolates from her grateful mum.
Recently, he posted on how much he enjoys his work and made a plea to be tolerant towards drivers.
"If you get cut off by one of my work mates think of me! The awesome bus driver."
When he is not driving buses, Vince is fighting for his community in Naenae. He has been outspoken lobbying for the earthquake prone Naenae Pool to be rebuilt and for more facilities for youth.
