What's your experience with pre-fabricated homes?

Kelly Dennett Reporter from Sunday Star Times

The Sunday Star-Times is looking into the rise of transportable/ kit-set/ pre fabricated homes. The upsides are build-efficiency, quality of design, and cost. The downsides appear to be land supply, red-tape with council and difficulty getting lending from banks. If you're willing to share … View moreThe Sunday Star-Times is looking into the rise of transportable/ kit-set/ pre fabricated homes. The upsides are build-efficiency, quality of design, and cost. The downsides appear to be land supply, red-tape with council and difficulty getting lending from banks. If you're willing to share your experience - good or bad - email kelly.dennett@stuff.co.nz, otherwise leave a comment.

Hoya Mini belle
In a 9cm pot, well rooted and growing. It has a small peduncle ( flower producing node where the flowers grow from each year)

Hoyas are indoor plants really though I've had one growing in a sheltered position outside for several years.
They are a trailing plant. Fleshy green leaves. The plant produces bunches of pink and white flowers seasonally.

Pictured is Hoya Carnosa flower and the Hoya Minibelle is very similar.
I do have a picture of the flower but it turned out very blurry. Will get a better pic when the next flower comes out.

Let them dry out between waterings.


Pickup is in Kuripuni.

Thanks for looking.

Price: $25

Garden watering in Masterton is now limited to handheld hoses, following a sustained period of dry weather and falling levels in the Waingawa River, the source of Masterton’s drinking water.
Sprinklers cannot be used.
The river has now fallen below a flow rate of 1,300 litres a second, the trigger for the watering restriction level to move to use of handheld hoses only.
Handheld hoses can be used at any time, but Masterton District Council Manager Assets and Operations David Hopman urged residents to continue to limit unnecessary use of water.
“Water conservation measures do make a real difference to the health of the river.
“We appreciate that water restrictions make life difficult for gardeners, but they are not unexpected. We have been fortunate this summer, with a very late start to restrictions, but the lack of recent rain means the river level is now low.”
A total watering ban will be imposed if the flow in the Waingawa River falls below 1,100 litres per second.

Nicholas Boyack Reporter from Community News

You might remember that a few months ago Neighbourly featured a picture of Muhammad Ali holding a young baby in Upper Hutt.
