We're re-starting the Swap!


Upswap us something for a piece of our house!

 


We're starting again with a very small item to try and get the momentum happening. This is easy for someone to swap something with as it's not worth much! But an exclusive piece for your place that you will never see anywhere else! These clay bricks cost us about $30 each but they're not worth anything to us because we have a handful left and can't sell them. Considering all and any offers for something to swap for it!

 


These bricks are great as a coffee table or plant holder. We've shown in the photos how some nice wood can be attached to the top. Our 2 year old stained the wood with a home made stain made from vinegar and rusted steel wool - a totally natural piece of furniture with no nasty chemical smells. This particular one has a big circular hole which can be used as a magazine rack. The brick could also be painted. A real talking piece for your living space!



We started out on this swap journey thinking a bigger item would get things rolling sooner - see the bottom of this other page for more details about the home theatre projector suite. If the upswap gets going with the brick, the projector will go up for sale. If the upswap gets going with the projector suite, we'll see if we can sell the brick as a coffee table / plant stand!

Please get in touch with us ASAP and swap with us for something! Anything! We're getting to the point soon where we will have to accept the conditional bank loan if we want our driveway sealed before winter!

 Please hurry!

Pleasant chat with Mike Hosking

I had a nice chat with Mike Hosking on the Breakfast Show this morning. We talked a bit more about the projector system up for grabs and the dramas with the house build and having to move in unfinished. Here's the audio file if you missed it... Thanks Mike we were honoured to feature on your show! If you are interested in our  Hidden Projector and Sound System  and think you have something to swap for it please get in touch with us: Phone Amy on 0276 354 901 or message us on our  facebook page

A little encouragement for first home buyers

I thought our interview with Mike Hosking was going to have a bit more about encouraging others to think creatively to get into their first house. Understandably though there was not really much time to fit in everything that was going on. So I thought I'd add a post about how we got into our first house despite it being the hardest time ever to get into a house (which it is every year!) Josh and I were both students and we shared a house with 2 other flatmates. For a year we both received the student loan payments (of around $140 per week) but we didn't spend any of it because we worked jobs while students. When I got my first corporate job after graduating, we bought the above house in a suburb of Auckland near my workplace. Even though banks were lending close to 100% at the time, it was at the height of the property boom near the end of 2006 when prices were through the roof. We bought this 3 bedroom house with a musty smelling rumpus and a separate one bedroom minor...

Random's the ticket

Hey someone was asking what kind of thing would be a good swap for the projector system. Maybe a well-used purple polka dot car, a holiday in some unheard-of place, the world's largest candy jar filled with ...? a collection of rare smurf figurines? We reckon this could be a lot of fun if we get creative! Comment below if you have something crazy to swap! :)
