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.
This is a very good as new wheelchair. It hasn’t had a lot of use. My mother has been using it for outings but no longer needs it. It is a Freiheit make and was over $800 new. Very easy to push and manoeuvre around.
