First Look

We first saw the house on Thurs Nov 22 on a grey rainy day in between looking at two other places. The work gang had only recently finished moving it and getting it put back together (it was sawn in half to move it the 60 odd K from Hawera) and they were in the process of resurrecting the roofing rafters.

They did a good job of joining it back together. I didn't notice the join inside until after looking over the interior and coming out, looking at the front and saw where they'd left a bit of a gap in the wall beside the front door.

It was tired looking, headless, covered inside in crappy paper and scrim and full of garbage (scaffolding, old carpet and insulation from the roof). In addition the roof was off (not that you could tell from inside cos the ceiling was still there).
Unfortunately we didnt take any photos at that point ... It looked a lot rougher than the photos below showed.

Still there was definitely something...
