    Nothing would have been possible without a team of incredible human beings who have guided, supported us...and worked their arses off for the past 7 months rebuilding our beloved homestead from the ground up! The legend who is Taua Kinita (Te Arawa) and his amazing team of tradesmen who show up and do the job on weekends...even on Xmas Eve!! Neil Challenger, our trusted friend who takes care of all the stuff we don't know how to do...from Christchurch! And to all our sanders, painters, floorboard and nail puller-outers, cooks and bakers, rubbish-takers, money-makers, toilet cleaner and washer-uppers, heavy-stuff luggers, sausage roll-pie-donuts and beer buyers we love you all!!!! Kāti rā ko te mihi mai i te ngākau iti rawa xoxo

    Thank you all for your wonderful kind and generous support! We are only 5 days away from winter and the end of this funding campaign. We moved back into our warm and cosy bedrooms last week and can't believe our luck every time we use the flush toilet and inside shower :) The main living area/kitchen is still under construction but we're confidently shooting for July 6...Dad's 90th birthday...to finish. It's also the beginning of the school holidays...we can't wait to have all our mokopuna back again in their flash new whare...this is only some of them!
