Amazing Large Hand-Built Dolls House
This would be a wonderful Xmas present!
Hand-built dolls house – this came from a craft-fair type shop in Porirua about 20 years ago.
The furniture is selling with the house – including two good-quality 1/12-scale doll figures.
While there is still some dust to clean off, the house is generally in good condition.
This is a unique work of art! Very unusual to see one like this for sale!
Dimensions: 850mm wide, 440mm deep and 940mm high (including the chimney).
It is mounted on a fixed base, which measures 850mm wide by 670mm deep – this includes the paving in front of the house. Very solidly built, and therefore, rather heavy!
There is a hatch in the back of the roof, giving access to the attic hide-away.
Inspection welcome – pickup is from our house in Tawa.
Poll: Would you commute by public transport if it was free?
Using your car is convenient, except for finding parking.
Cycling lets you leave anytime, but you might arrive soaked.
So, neighbours, if public transport had the perk of being free, would it be your main way to commute?

Six tips for improving security around your home
1) Improve outdoor lighting
Ensure that streets, driveways, and front yards are well-lit. Motion-sensor lights around homes deter trespassers by reducing hiding spots and illuminating their movements.
2) Trim your trees
Overgrown shrubs and trees provide cover for intruders. Keeping them well-trimmed around windows and doors improves visibility and reduces potential hiding spots.
3) Secure Entry Points
Ensure doors, windows, and gates are always closed when you are away from the house. Upgrade to more secure locks, deadbolts, or even smart locks for added protection.
4) Add a security camera
Place security cameras in the main entry points to your home. Doorbell cameras are also relatively cheap and a great way to keep track of who is visiting your home when you aren't there.
5) Start a Neighborhood Watch Program
You could reach out to members on Neighbourly to form a group of neighbors who can regularly keep an eye out for suspicious activity and report it. You could also check with Neighbourhood Support to see what is existing in your area.
6) Introduce yourself to your neighbours
The closer you are to your neighbors, the more likely they’ll notice when something unusual or suspicious is happening around your property
