The unexpected happens, make sure you are prepared! 👨🔧 AND make sure the valve actually turns the flow off! (sometimes they don't)!
Where to look for your council water toby:
- Normally on the boundary of your property
- Often aligning with one side of your property
- Sometimes buried (carefully use a probe to check)
Where to look for your house toby
- Often close to your hose tap
- Often buried 🤔

WELL DO I HAVE NEWS FOR YOU
Through my label House of Hunters, I make reusable fabric face masks! They are all made by me right here in Wellington and are sold for $15 each. However, if you were to order more than one I can come up with a bundle deal. I can also send them out to you.
Not only would buying a mask from me make you feel good about supporting a local small business, you’ll also be supporting one of your local sports teams! I am one of the goalkeepers in the Wellington Women’s Hockey team and I am currently fundraising to help cover the costs of fees to participate at the National Hockey Championship tournament in November.
The options pictured are just a mere selection of what I have available. You can check out my Facebook page House of Hunters Clothing for more options. I can do custom orders so if there’s a particular design you’re looking for I’ll see what I can do. All orders have a 1-2 day turnaround depending on order size and demand. I also stock them at Indeja on Cuba Street so you can always pop in there and support two local businesses that way 😉
Flick me a PM and let’s get talking!

What Are the Basic Styles of Fabric for Curtains & Upholstery?

Each fabric style outlined below has its own unique characteristics and are produced using different techniques. Some of these fabric types will be well known to you like plain and printed fabrics, while others less so.
You may be wondering why cotton and linen for example are not included here – this is because they are a type of composition that falls within one of these categories below.
Here we give you a high-level overview of the styles of fabrics available to you for your home interior or commercial interior project.
PLAIN: Plain fabrics are characterised by simple weaves and textures not showing any complex design.
Simple weaves are for instance – hopsacks, twills, herringbones and satins. Common fabric compositions used for plain fabrics include natural fibres (cotton, linen) as well as synthetic fibres (polyester, acrylic, etc.)
Plain interior fabrics take on a simple and paired back aesthetic. Ideal for a minimalist décor, you can complement plain fabrics with more textured and tactile textiles for added interest to your home décor.
PRINTED: Printing is the process of applying coloured designs and patterns to a woven textile. One or more colours are applied to the fabric in specific parts only, using thickened dyes to prevent the colour from spreading beyond the limits of the pattern or design. In quality printed fabrics, the colour is bonded with the fibre so as to resist loss of dye from washing and friction (crocking). Printing is an ancient textile manufacturing technique of which there are five print production methods you can use:
Burn Out Printing: A process which uses chemicals, rather than colour, to burn out or dissolve away one fibre in a fabric. The purpose is to achieve a sheer design on a solid or opaque fabric. The chemicals used during production can make this fabric sensitive to ultraviolet degradation when hung in direct sunlight.
Digital Printing: Rapidly becoming a popular and commercially viable printing method due to its flexibility, precision and consistency. With this new printing technique it is now possible to print any design, even with photographic detail, onto fabric. There are no restrictions in the amount of colour that can be used.
Engraved Roller Printing: The printing method used for the majority of fabrics worldwide. The colours are printed directly onto the fabric. There must be one roller for each colour used in the print. The more colours used, the better the print definition and depth of colour. The number of colours used is printed on the left hand selvedge of a fabric along with the brand.
