Removing all ceiling and wall gib, insulating throughout regibbing, new electrics and plumbing, bifold doord onto a new deck, new wardrobes,......we have been living with a neighbour for almost 4 months (she deserves a medal) but it has been so woth it.
I have nothing but praise for Chris and Georgia Darby of Blueprint Projects and Construction. Chris has proved to be a hard working, talented, honest and thorough builder and project manager, Georgia has reported back on progress against budget on a regular basis as well as making many useful suggestions regarding design options - a very talented couple. I recommend their company without hesitation and reservation and would be very willing to discuss our experience more should the need arise.

My Waikanae studio is full of all the latest in acrylic and watercolour products for use by people who attend my classes. I run a programme of well structured, topic-based classes and workshops for a wide range of abilities, from beginner to experienced artist. I also offer Artist Session groups (3 hours on Tuesday mornings) for people who have sufficient experience to initiate their own projects and work in a more experimental, less structured way, with material support and tuition. Check out what’s available through the link here.

There is congestion into Wellington City this morning due to the presence of eight Restore Passenger Rail protesters who are blocking lanes. These disruptions are on Wellington's SH1 near the Terrace Tunnel.

Waka Kotahi said Wellington's Terrace Tunnel is closed to traffic heading southbound, and warned commuters to "expect delays". Northbound lanes near the tunnel are partially blocked and moving slowly.

It's been said that a protester has glued their hands to the road and is needing assistance to be removed.

"Police advise motorists to avoid the area and expect delays."
