Hi all

I'm sure someone on here mentioned taking a photo of Walter's house for me.  Whoever it was, any idea when I can expect to see this photo?

Many thanks to whomever it was.

Once it has appeared I can do something about indicating the thread is completed.

Fresh fields is a farmer, like myself, and farm work comes first before anything else, but as Alan said  in Reply # 85 he will get around to it.

Goodness me, ???  there is a good view of the house on Google if you need it that urgently,I believe I put it on the thread earlier on #59

Alan doesn't even live in Auckland and was going out of his way to get a photo for you.
A lot of us have spent hours obtaining information and photos for you.

I would not feel comfortable if I saw someone outside my house taking photos,I would probably call the police which is why I haven't gone to take a photo of 25 Tahi Terrace and put the Google photo up instead.

As Minniehaha said we are all volunteers and have other obligations first and foremost,

Hi all.

Commitments at home have put me in a position where I have not yet been able to make the 250km trip. I have a relative in West Auckland whom I want to catch up with again, but this weekend he wanted to travel down to the Waikato Town of Paeroa, to see their Highland Games, and I found myself helping out at a local weekend market with some 70+ stalls.

When I get up to West Auckland, I will try to make contact with the current residents. and see what is able to be arranged. We are going through a very dry spell at the moment. Really need rain, so I can not afford to leave the farm and it's animals for a few days, WITHOUT having another family member being able to cover for me.

You will be the first to know if I'm able to get some photos for you.

Hi all

Thanks for all your responses.  I couldn't quite remember who was going to take the photo!  That's the trouble with threads that get a bit on the long side.

I do appreciate that you all have busy lives outside of Rootschat and am quite willing to wait.  After all the house isn't going to disappear in a puff of smoke!

Sorry to hear that you are having a very dry spell.  Must get quite worrying when you have livestock to look after.

Yes, it is, but we also rely on the rain to fill our tanks for household water.

Hello.

Finally got back to Auckland, and got permission from a resident to take a couple of photos of the front of the house, that were not obscured by the high white wooden fence. Person who gave permission, possibly a resident and not the property owner, so will PM the photos direct to Girl Guide.

Hi all

Alan has now sent me an up to date photo of Walter's house.

I have said to him that he is welcome to put the photo on here.  I shall wait to see what he wishes to do and then close the thread.

My final remarks will be made then.
