I say this, as when I drive around the Hutt Valley, on sections where there were once one or two homes - 1 or 2 lots of rates - there can now be a huge number of homes. Many, many multi property sections now, new subdivisions as well, all presumably paying rates.

Wallpaper sheets available for free

Tracy from Waterloo

I’m removing wallpaper sheets carefully from the wall. Some are coming off the wall in one strip/drop but others are in smaller pieces. I’ll hate throwing it out so I’m hoping someone will want some - for free.

The paper would suit a feature wall or someone might have some other innovative … View more
