In June 2010, we completed building our energy efficient house in the form of the classic double bay kiwi villa and the blog (RSS) serves as the regular update channel for all things construction.

It also provides space to put up personal musings that apparently some of you folks find entertaining in the form of my blog.

I moved to New Zealand from the UK in July 2005 after deliberating on the subject of immigration for about five years. Some friends in London had asked me in November 2004: "Hey Russ, when are you going to move back to New Zealand?" - as at the time I was always on about it but had feint chances of pulling my thumb out of my arse and actually doing it.
Well my friend's got me to thinking and within a few weeks as I remember I had booked my reccie to NZ. I now have permanent residence and moved from Auckland where I lived and worked till Christmas 2005, down here to Wellington where I am now. I live in the city and work in that great place known simply as: "The Hutt".
