Come along on Saturday 19 December 2.30-5.00 p.m., to adopt a RRR- rescue feline!

We will be doing Adoptions of kittens/cats in Papamoa with appointment times for families. Two to three families will be given a 1/2 hour slot to view the felines and make their selection. Phone us to request a time ph 0210778665. Adopting this way rather than adoption days is extremely time-consuming, however, we find it nicer for all involved including the kittens, who are our priority.
We do not have Eftpos, so cash or ideally bank transfer is acceptable.
All our felines are de-sexed, had their first vaccination, are micro-chipped, have been vet health checked, and are up to date with flea and worm treatments. The adoption fee is $185.00. Venue and address will be given when you phone. See you soon!

That tiny crack that runs around your door transmits more sound than you would know.

Noise is a daily occurrence that we all endure to a certain degree from noisy kettles, screaming children, loud TVs and the deafening thud of a bass. There’s sometimes little peace in ones day. Ongoing excessive noise is not only aggravating it can actually be harmful to your ears and has a significant impact on the way our spaces work in the home.


When it comes to residential design, the acoustics, (the way in which the structural characteristics of a space relate to how well sound can be heard) although a key design feature, are rarely considered during the building process and sometimes only tackled during a renovation.


Soundwaves seep through doors, windows, ceilings and cracks, so how do you reduce unwanted sound from affecting your day to day activities?


Hard flat surfaces tend to bounce sound waves around, sometimes creating a lasting echo effect if the surfaces are parallel walls. The softer and less uniform the surface, the less opportunity sound has to bounce off. Textiles, including drapery and upholstered furniture and furnishings not only deliver a design aesthetic they also play a significant role in the absorption of sound.


However not all textiles have equal sound absorption qualities however. The level of sound absorption is dependent upon a textile’s weight, composition, and/or construction. Generally (due to the large vertical mass) drapery provides the main textile source of sound absorption however, there are several other ways to achieve this.

Open Homes: A necessary nightmare

Kylie Klein Nixon Reporter from Homed

So, I spent a weekend hitting the open homes and seeing what it's like to try to buy as a solo person. Folks, it's tough out there... As an older, single person, it's really tough. Take a look at how I found "the churn" and let me know how it compares to your experience.

So nice to have Christmas pudding with custard again. The scales are groaning a bit this week!
