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.

Taking down the cage out the back

The previous owners had 10 children, 15 cats and goodness knows how many birds but I know there would have been more than the 21 chiuauas that were housed inside. The huge dark cage out the back blocked a heap of light and also blocked a spouting which caused the weatherboards to rot. It was a beautiful day in the sun taking down the cage but found out how well it was all nailed and stapled together so will take us a couple of days.
