The real New Zealand picture thread
Came across some photo's of the condensationon our single glazed windows (You don't need double glazing in NZ!) and a picture of a house we passed daily on the school run where the curtains were rotting from damp!
Enjoy the dream!

Re: The real New Zealand picture thread
we had the same.... I had lovely curtains made and they were ruined. I think that is the reason a lot of people don't bother with nice curtains in NZ. It was almost impossible to find them at all and maybe that is why!! But as you say, you don't need double glazing in NZ. It never rains and it is always sunny.

I think you have a poltergeist* in your house, burt, as somebody has written 'I hate NZ' on the last photo....
Looking at the view...am I right in thinking you live in Waipukurau?
(*'pulturgust' in NZ pronunciation)

And there's me thinking it was 'nice sunny aspect'
Bert mate - time for a dehumidifier. My work mate just got one and says it's worked wonders. Makes the place feel warmer too, simply because it's not so damp.

I lived in one in Chch..... god it was cold. Never felt warm again after living there. Still get a chill thinking about it. Am glad to be back in a lovely properly built victorian house where the stone is thick and keeps cool in summer and warm in winter. No more wooden sheds for me.
