This is way cool. What exactly is a "*******"?

naki kid · Aug 29, 2010

Dragster racer.A wet back is a coil of copper or cast pipes in the back of the fire place which run to the hotwater tank,the tank has to be close to the fire place for them to work efficently.It saves on useing electricity to power the hot water cylinder.We have only used the power for about 1 hour this winter.Plus the solar panels on the roof are piped into the cylinder to.I hope this explanes it a bit thanks.Ray.

Exactly, well said!!! Especially since this is great looking building, beautiful country and a classic Caddy, what more can a man ask for?

Congrats Kid... :beer:

William Payne · Feb 5, 2011

It really is a nice place the area is really nice where Ray (Naki kid) is. He can also keep unwanted guests away because as I found out the hard way you can get lost finding it. It really is an awesome place.

Grizz1963 · Feb 6, 2011

Love the progress so far.

Thanks for the updates.

naki kid · May 10, 2011

Just a little update on our barn.this last summer we have been doing work to the out side lawns gardens etc.It,s coming on winter down here now so there won't be to much work done out side so will have to do some of the inside stuff. here are some photos of what we have done so far.
PS. I posted some photos on the flooring thread of the carpet in the garage.

We have been living in the barn for 18 months now and love it.We wouldn't go back living in the city for anything now. Ray

You "winter" looks completely tolerable.

My oldest boy has gotten into playing rugby in a big way, and a few of his dreams are to move to New Zealand, meet the All Blacks and play against/with some real Kiwis.

Congrats on the dream shop.

Its a small country to visit, I did a cruise there and circled both islands (both north and south) along the coast. Just don't take ketchup or any condiment packets when you buy fast food, they charge you for that there, lol.

On the plus side Kiwi and Lamb is super cheap, buy and eat as much as you can

All Blacks are good, but I am more partial to the Springboks :thumbup:

naki kid · May 20, 2011

So you were only here a week as that is how long it would take to circle NZ :bounce:

Really, how long were you here what did you think of the place.Who are these springbox you speak of ,there is only one top rugby team in the world the ALL BLACKS. :thumbup:

Hows that for the love of our little piece of paradise. Ray.
PS you are not allowed to eat Kiwi in nz to tough any way.

Loudercat · Jun 28, 2011

Great build man, i dream of a similar set up.

must be a kiwi thing

Cheers for sharing such a sweet setup, i look forward to seeing more

cobraace · Jun 28, 2011

naki kid · Oct 29, 2011

Hi every body just a small update on what we have done.We are just coming to the end of winter down here.Some photos.
Our son and myself made the steelwork around the deck.

Two more bedrooms upstairs framed up ready to line.

Yes and no. Working on plans (hopefully) for a new home for the F4.
Would love to see more of your landscape work.

naki kid · Jan 10, 2013

We havn,t done much to the barn for a while now but have been working on the 37 Chrysler and now it is all legal to be on the road in NZ.We are using the 59 caddy and the chrysler for our sons wedding in Feb.and using a friends 36 ford more door as well.That will be 3 maroon cars.

On the 8th jan we arranged for a friend to take a young chap for a ride in a hotrod for his 18th birthday,he has termanal cancer and the owner of the roadster even let his sister drive the car,a good time was had by all.Some photos.

Enjoy. Ray.
