What's your experience with pre-fabricated homes?

Kelly Dennett Reporter from Sunday Star Times

The Sunday Star-Times is looking into the rise of transportable/ kit-set/ pre fabricated homes. The upsides are build-efficiency, quality of design, and cost. The downsides appear to be land supply, red-tape with council and difficulty getting lending from banks. If you're willing to share … View moreThe Sunday Star-Times is looking into the rise of transportable/ kit-set/ pre fabricated homes. The upsides are build-efficiency, quality of design, and cost. The downsides appear to be land supply, red-tape with council and difficulty getting lending from banks. If you're willing to share your experience - good or bad - email kelly.dennett@stuff.co.nz, otherwise leave a comment. Is there an aspect of transportable housing you'd like us to enquire about for you?

For the many parents who choose for their own reasons, such as culture, to get their baby's ears pierced we are able to help.
We have experience piercing ears of all ages, and regularly do baby piercings.

As only a few of our staff can do this, please call ahead to check that someone is available.

Cost is approx $25.00 and includes the earrings, piercing and antiseptics. ( it may be a few dollars more if you choose more expensive earrings)

For VERY young babies, we may not be able to pierce both ears at once, due to how tricky it can be to access their ears.

We find that babies seldom cry for more than a few seconds after piercing. It's usually the Mum who has the most tears!
