Sustainable and it is Mechanical
Old Faithful
Over time since the early 1900s’ the industrial surge saw the development of machinery demonstrating artistic flair, craftsmanship and above all engineering skills of solid design.
Industrialization and the surge for development to today of modern technology, mass production, cheap short cuts, planned failure for the consumer to encourage re-purchasing for what one has already bought there is no doubt the dedicated restoration of old machinery that had been previously cast aside is Mechanical Sustainability.
Any machine well oiled, serviced and respected is the true meaning “guaranteed for a lifetime”
Understanding the importance of the restoration dedicated people like Darryl Hudson: found on the following link

Being green is not just the land and solar, but surely the integration of recognizing the value of past craftsmanship in the mechanical sense that has served mankind well in many industries.
Like the line in an old song says “ You don’t know what you have got till it’s gone.
100 years old and still going for a spin everyday

Backed by Department of Conservation land the property as it stands is heavily laden with natural New Zealand natives and wild life. A canopy under which for the bush explorer or naturalist could enjoy.
The house on the land offers a retreat to the writer/artist ,or those inspired to work the land, one of comfort, warmth and self sufficiency with ease using all the modern technology one desires.
