Many hands make light work of $1.3m do-up
Some of you will love this piece of madness ...... 
A $1.3 million 110-year-old Ponsonby villa is getting a high-profile makeover in what the owner hopes could result in a $2 million-plus sale. Nine businesses have now joined the renovation project to demonstrate how to modernise a house by eliminating weeping windows, mouldy showers and poorly ventilated rooms, while cutting energy costs and showcasing their products.

It's a pity that 'businesswoman' couldn't use her influence persuade those businesses to provide upgrades for someone in more need rather than for her own self-interest - shame on them all!

bought for 620K in 2002, RV 980K so really hope someone see's sense and doesn't pay that ridiculous amount. RV could go up I suppose with the upgrades

No wonder she has a big smile on her face. Its a shame the money cant go into community projects instead. Well as they always say "money goes to money".

I wouldn't give 50k looking at the houses next door or the street for that matter
