Resurection of an old Hokianga Homestead |
![]() This is the old Hokianga farm house under reconstruction. It went through very different stages during its life time, and was used at some stage only as a hay shed, with no doors, or windows, even the floors were partly removed. But the most valuable asset always remained: The toilet seat! Unfortunately without the connecting pipes to the septic tank. This we found out after about a month's use, and had quickly to dig in new sewerage pipes. We could not find any volunteers for that sh..y job. |
![]() The cottage in its rebuilt state. It has two rooms, kitchen, bath, toilet, a porch. Power and phone are installed and it has a good water supply. A shearing shed is built onto it with the capacity to hold about 250 sheep or 300 goats. |
