THE MCGEEE TREATMENT: In Wairarapa prefabricated shed gets a quality makeover from a pair of enterprising homeowners

摘要

As you drive through the undulating Wairarapa valley, houses, lawns and gardens reveal themselves. Among the paddocks and stock shelters that were once the preserve of cattle, sheep and vineyards,people are seeking refuge from city life in increasing numbers. But one new building stands out more than most."Look for the shiny steel shed in the paddock," says Anne McGee, who lives here with her husband Dave. "Come in, up the drive. We've just had that done because the contractor told us it's something that always gets put off until another day and most people never finish their drives. We were determined not to be like the others."Most who know them would confirm that Anne and Dave are indeed not like the others. And the latest evidence of that is their choice of a prefabricated shed as their new home, a bold step into the unknown and also a first for Affordable Sheds, who adapted their standard implement shed for living.
