I’m just wondering if anyone knows where I can find secondhand materials for renovation purposes such as architraves, old picture frames, curtain rods, timber for making benches etc.
Not sure how much use this is to anyone but I’ll post it in case one day someone can use the info.
I only know about two NZ, in Wellington actually.
No Names Building Supplies in Adelaide Rd, Newtown.
My Dad has been scoping it out on my behalf and was impressed, even my mum loved it and couldn’t believe the size of the place and how much stuff they have and how well organised it is.
I am getting a bunch of stuff from there for my newest place in the central north island such as a new kitchen bench ($145) handbasin with taps ($45) , curtain rods, carpet, lino, taps, shower stalls, you name it!
There’s another smaller one in Lyall Bay too.
