We bought a new lounge suite for our moving into the retirement village in December. It was from the Lazyboy shop in Napier. Spitting distance to our new place. Deliver only $100. Bought a Lazy-boy electric recliner from Hardley Normal in Hastings, 15K away. Was going to cost $80 to deliver. Rang son and he whipped round in his work ute and took it home for us and assembled it.
Nothing is cheap today, we are having a Stratco awning and a trellis for our deck, and fly screens made for ranchslider and front door. Adds up to a tad under $10,000. I'm sure it didn't cost that much when we moved into our previous home 28yrs ago!
