Simply wash down with Resene Timber and Deck Wash then finish with the Resene Woodsman range of wood stains. Choose from a wide range of colours, from traditional wood stains to a beachy whitewashed finish. Or go for the natural look with Resene Furniture and Decking Oil.
If you’re planning on a dark colour, remember to choose a Resene CoolColour version of your colour. This will help to reflect more heat to keep your deck and furniture cooler and more comfortable to walk or sit on.
Visit your local Resene ColorShop and see the huge range of options on their woodcare stand to help you bring out the best in your home.

She knows what she's talking about, too. Not only did she smash more than $90k of debt in three years, but in the year since she paid it off, she's saved enough, on top of her Kiwisaver, to pay the deposit on a home of her own.
It wasn't easy, and Tracy would be the first person to tell you that! But it is doable. Check out how, and have a listen to our episode of First Rung about Settlement day, on this link below. It includes some tips from Tracy on setting up a budget to manage your finance when you have a mortgage to pay.

Hi Neighbours, As the latest community case was preparing to take a Covid-19 test, I, and a big group including senior Auckland figures were collectively ignoring advice about mask-wearing on public transport. Read the story below:
Vandals have egged cars parked in Avondale, leaving a multitude of broken eggs strewn over the streets.
What do you think about this act of vandalism?

Have your say on a proposal to change the speed limits of 26 roads in the west and north of Auckland.

Auckland Transport is seeking feedback on its proposal to set new permanent speed limits on the roads in Swanson, Massey, Warkworth, Matakana and Tāwharanui Peninsula.
Randhir Karma, AT's network management group manager, said many of the roads being looked at are narrow without any road markings, windy, hilly and in some cases, unsealed.
Motorists were already travelling at speeds well below the current limits on these roads due to the driving conditions, Karma said.
Rodney Local Board Chair Phelan Pirrie said speed limit changes on these roads are much needed.
“We’ve known for a long time that Rodney has some of the highest numbers of crashes in the country but these aren’t just numbers - they are mums, dads, kids, people simply going about their lives," he said.
Waitākere Ranges Local Board Chair Greg Presland said the geography of the ranges means there are many roads that can be dangerous when driven at speed.
Feedback is open until January 17 next year.

A man with stage four cancer is bracing himself to walk 18 hours in jandals to raise funds for "those suffering more than me".

Shane Callaghan from Te Atatu Peninsula takes on the annual Relay For Life fundraiser next weekend.
The self-described Melahomi Jandal Strutter said he will be doing things differently as the relay has been turned into an online event.
He will be walking non-stop for nine hours on November 21 at the Jack Lovelock track at Mt Roskill.
The following day will see him walking continuously for another nine hours at AUT Millenium Stadium in Albany.
With nothing but a carefully-chosen playlist that includes Suzy Cato's Sprinkle a Little Sunshine and – in true Kiwi style – three pairs of jandals, Callaghan is steeling himself for the walk.
The 55-year-old has invited people to join him for a few laps.
"You don't have to wear jandals. That's just how I flip flop. "
But he urged participants to be sun safe and, "slip, slop, slap."
Callaghan said he was blown away by the donations- so far he has raised $2,941.11.
"As so much has been donated on the page, I am doing this for all those who are going through cancer, ones we've lost (too many just recently) and the survivors," he said.
Callaghan was first diagnosed with melanoma in 2015, but in 2017, on his birthday, he was told the cancer had spread and that it was at a critical stage four.
Doctors discovered several tumours on his spine and put him on radiation treatment.
He said in March that the tumours had shrunk, but that had caused damage to his spine which means he can't ever run or make any sudden movements.
Sixty three New Zealanders are diagnosed with cancer every day.
The Cancer Society provides vital services and support to people affected by cancer, funds life-saving cancer research and does important work on cancer prevention.

If you're lucky, and good, you might be given a couple of cans of paint from your local hardware store, to help you on the way - but that would be the icing on the tip of the social media cake.
Few of us would have the energy or knowhow to turn their reno into a part time side hustle that's both creatively fulfilling, and engaging.
But that's exactly what Moochstyle's Shayden and Georgia Whipps have done - with some pawsome help from their gorgeous dog Frankie. They've been blogging their Christchurch villa reno since they bought their home and Shayden shared their story with us for the final episode of First Rung, our podcast. A first time homeowner and renovator, Shayden is such an inspiring guy to chat with. He makes you want to jump in and give it go. Check out his story and let us know what you think.
