Wonderful Use of REAL Money

Wonderful Wellington Property: Buy a commercial building. Put your apartment on top!
I believe all three of these buildings have a "beneficial owner" who uses, or has used the Penthouse themselves. I don't know for sure with one of them.
Now isn't that smart? No body corporate, generally no noise, and look at the locations! Interestingly the photos were taken virtually from one spot. Well done!

Wonderful Wellington: Wonderful Disdain For Global Warming .

Fascinating new house being built within 2 metes of (current) high water

This unfinished home is just as you enter Days bay, towards Eastbourne.
Between the road & the sea. A very cool place to be. Views through the heads & to the Kaikouras. Looks like its got great solar heat collection ideas.

I was told years ago the cottage bowled to build this was Katherine Mansfields' family weekender. ( 100 years ago the genteel took the ferry over to their cottages for the weekend at "the seaside" Hasn't changed a lot really!)
Full marks!

Wonderful Wellington: Wonderful Disregard for Convention

About the only handmade roof I've seen. And I've seen a lot of roofs.

It would be exaggerating to describe this Cuba street Petone roof & wall treatment as handsome.
But there are few that would so disdain convention as to do this. Nailing flat iron over both roof & upper wall areas, including flashings is both a mission and also thinking not limited by roofing convention.
Full marks to the Kiwi number 8 wire philosophy, and independent thinking!
