Welcome

Welcome to the Fairlie Funky Farm blog where Nick and Lisa will be describing their adventures renovating Nga Punawai, an old home in Fairlie, South Canterbury, New Zealand.

Thursday, June 2, 2011

We engaged Lain Hellrich of "High Country Carpentry" in Fairlie to manage and do all the renovations.
Lain organised Cliff Trotter of "Cliff Hanger" in Timaru to design and do all the architectural drawings for the renovation. Before we start on all of this and publish the plans, etc, we will post a whole heap of photos of the work we did prior to the builders moving in. Nick was in his element trashing walls and taking out a chimney, while I was a little nervous that he was taking out too much before Lain got there....thinking the walls would come tumbling down.
