Hobs work very well (as gas hobs do), oven temperature is either high, medium or low. Oven door needs a little help to shut perfectly, grill works well. Overall condition is pretty good, see photos.

No meat has been cooked in oven for the last nine years :)

Please take it away for free, but be warned that access from road to our house is up a zigzag path and some steps, so will need two strong people to collect!

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."
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.
