Old Kaeo shack



 Sometimes on my travels into different towns I see farm sheds that are falling apart or dilipated shacks. This one is along a dirt road full of pot holes, I wouldn't say there are alot of houses in this part, more like farms and dwellings people have put together to save money. I suspect the one on the left was a type of garage and the one on the right maybe a small house? Thoughts?

I'm sorry I haven't visited much this week, we were looking in car yards last week for a car I could upgrade mine too and the salesman had a head cold, so we have all been down with it. It was our first day of Winter on the 1st June - we tend to get alot of sunny days and cold nights so expect alot more skies like this over the next 3 months.

Linking up with Skywatch Friday.

The one on the left does resemble a garage, they are very small. Good luck finding a car. I had my truck for 25 years and didn't have to do much searching, I didn't care for the sales people to aggressive.

Bill, funnily enough we had the opposite problem with sales people here, we were wanting to trade in the car I currently have, which is in mint condition and for some reason they just weren't interested.

They are small buildings..just big enough I suppose.
Pity the salesman had to work when ill. I bet he wasn't wearing a mask to keep it to himself!!

No he wasn't wearing one, he should've been at home really, because of his actions I ended up having to take 2 days off work.

Our homes have definitely got bigger over the years. The first cottage I recall living in started life as two rooms, and when the sawmill it was a workers cottage for closed, it was loaded onto skids and towed by traction engine down to the flats where it, and many of its original neighbours became homes on newly developed small farms. A couple of rooms got built onto it but it was never a big home. The first house I bought in Dunedin when I moved there as a student was also originally a 2 room cottage with a lean-to built on the back to make a kitchen and second bedroom. (The bathroom was a further lean-to added to that - I guess it had originally been a tub on the kitchen floor). On farms, most of these old places got turned into sheds years ago as the generations updated the accommodation to more modern and bigger. Some got moved however - there used to be a big piece of land near Ch-ch airport where you could go shopping for houses - old but still useable houses were moved off sections that someone wanted to redevelop (rather than simply demolished) and those of us with less dosh or less concern for the looks than actually having a roof overhead, could buy them for moving onto our own bit of land. Instant house - or even instant bit of house in the case of your photo.

That could be a scene in rural Oklahoma. Lots of old sheds and houses that are not kept up.
Get better soon!!

You could be right Amy, it's a wee bit hard to tell. So sorry to hear about the colds, sometimes they are inevitable at change of seasons. Very inconsiderate of the salesman to share his! Feel better soon 🌹

Perastika. Hope the cold passes quickly . They sort of look like farm baches. At least someone has a roof over their head

How frustrating to have picked up a cold like that. They are both small buildings.

Pretty rural area. The one on the left looks like a garage to me. Good luck with your car!

No windows would be sad for a house/home, but the size is OK for two. Good luck with your car.

Auckland Metropolis Museum

In amongt the modern new highrise buildings in Auckland City is this smaller vintage building that is currently for sale (I'd buy it if I had the money).   My research found that:  "It was designed by English-born architect Charles Towle and erected in the early 1930s as the Church of Christ, Scientist, the building's Graeco-Roman facade has towering columns that frame its impressive entranceway, with three ornate timber doors decorated with leadlight inserts providing access to the expansive foyer. Arched ceilings dominate the former congregational high stud space beyond the foyer and numerous picturesque windows provide a light, airy feel and an ambience many office buildings lack. The building housed congregational and Sunday school services for 70 years until it was sold and converted into office space in 2003. A significant refurbishment was also carried out with care taken to ensure that the building's distinctive character remained intact. Special architectural ...

Grace Brothers

  We have 2 new chickens, both black ladies. If any of you are familiar with British comedy tv shows you will recognize the names we have given them. This one is named Miss Brahms. And this one is named Mrs Slocombe. At the moment we have them in a temporary shelter next to the Special Patrol Group that we've had for the last 9 months just so they can get to know each other before we intigrate the black ones in with the brown ones. These ones give us a white coloured egg whereas the brown shavers give us brown coloured eggs. Linking up with  Tuesday Treasures ,  Happy Tuesdays  and   Wordless Wednesday .

Vondel

  I nthe heart of Devonport in Auckland is this little block of businesses. In my younger days I worked in this suburb as a legal typist for lawyers and to see it now as it is, it's made many changes over the years. This building is surrounded by older style buildings in the main street with businesses such as shoe shops, clothing shops, professionals, cafes, bars, restaurants etc. It's a very upmarket suburb with quite expensive houses along the waterfront. Vondel in the above photo is a restaurant but upon looking up their website, there wasn't alot of information about who they are. Linking up with  Weekend Reflections   and the  Weekend Roundup .
