And here is a photo taken of the house I live in now from the late 1940's. Looked abandoned then. Jim

I can't believe that this is the same house you are living in now. You have doen a fantastic job doing it up.

We did put new roof on last year.and a new pump in the well last week. And I did redo all the electrical, plumbing,siding, and reglazed [puttied] the wooden sashes. And after 20 plus years I am still at it. Until the roads are free of the salt scourge!! Bad practice here in New England we have here to rid the ice and snow.

Gosh, those last 3 photos are gems. Tharon, shoulda chain sawed the Give Way sign! (No, on second thoughts, you might end up in jail!) The Gore house reminds me of one I took near Marton and the Church should have been restored adapted and lived in.I'a away this weekend travelling; will keep an eye out.

You are right Phil, we have all passed hundreds of these buildings but have never noticed them until Alex started this thread.The worst thing is when you have just passed a line of traffic after waiting for a while to pass and then you see one !!!!!!Then it's decision time, stop or get it next time.

South of Hastings is a small Maori settlement called Te Hauke. I have seen these houses many times and seen them slowly deteriate. Captured before they are lost.This one looks about 1930's style:
