TIMBER FENCING At Real Fencing in Hawkes Bay, we offer a variety of timber fencing options to meet your specific needs. Timber fencing is a popular choice among homeowners due to its classic and natural appeal. One of the advantages of timber fencing is its cost-effectiveness. Compared to other fencing materials, such as metal or PVC, timber fencing can be more affordable, making it a budget-friendly option for many. Additionally, timber fencing requires regular maintenance to ensure its longevity. This includes treating the wood to protect it from rot, termites, and weather damage. By investing in routine maintenance, you can extend the lifespan of your timber fence and avoid costly repairs in the future. At Real Fencing, we can provide you with expert advice on timber fencing cost and maintenance to help you make informed decisions for your property.

ALUMINUM FENCING We offer a wide range of aluminum fencing options to meet the specific needs of our clients in Hawkes Bay, New Zealand. Aluminum fencing has become increasingly popular due to its numerous benefits. One of the main advantages of aluminum fencing is its durability. Unlike other materials, aluminum does not rust, making it ideal for coastal areas like Hawkes Bay. Additionally, aluminum fencing requires minimal maintenance. To keep your aluminum fence looking its best, simply clean it with mild soap and water regularly. Another maintenance tip is to inspect the fence for any loose or damaged parts, such as screws or panels, and repair them promptly. Overall, aluminum fencing provides a practical and stylish solution for enhancing the security and aesthetics of your property.

CHAIN LINK FENCING One of the most versatile and cost-effective fencing options available is chain link fencing, which complements the durability and low maintenance benefits of aluminum fencing in Hawkes Bay, New Zealand. Chain link fencing is known for its strength and durability, making it a popular choice for residential, commercial, and industrial applications.

There are several pros to choosing chain link fencing. It is highly durable and can withstand harsh weather conditions, making it a long-lasting option. Chain link fencing is also low maintenance, requiring minimal upkeep over time. Additionally, it provides excellent security and visibility, allowing you to keep an eye on your property while keeping unwanted visitors out.

However, there are some cons to consider as well. Chain link fencing may not offer as much privacy as other fencing options, as it is see-through. It is also not the most aesthetically pleasing choice, although it can be improved with the addition of privacy slats or vinyl coatings.

When choosing the right height for chain link fencing, consider your specific needs and requirements. A common height for residential applications is 4 to 6 feet, while commercial and industrial settings may require taller fencing for added security.

POOL FENCING When it comes to pool fencing, we understand the importance of both safety and aesthetics. As experienced fence contractors in Hawkes Bay, we know that pool safety regulations are a top priority for homeowners. That's why we offer a wide range of pool fencing options that comply with these regulations while still enhancing the overall look of your pool area.

Choosing the right pool fencing materials is crucial to ensure durability and longevity. We recommend materials such as aluminum or steel, which are not only strong and resistant to corrosion but also provide a stylish finish. These materials can withstand the harsh New Zealand weather conditions and require minimal maintenance, making them an excellent choice for pool fencing.

At Real Fencing, we have the knowledge and expertise to help you select the perfect pool fencing solution for your needs. Our team will work closely with you to ensure that your pool fence meets all safety requirements while adding value and beauty to your property. Trust us to deliver exceptional results that prioritize both safety and aesthetics.

METAL FENCING Metal fencing provides a durable and stylish solution for securing and enhancing your property in Hawkes Bay, New Zealand. With a wide range of metal fence designs available, you can choose a style that complements the aesthetics of your property while providing the necessary security. One of the main benefits of metal fencing is its durability. Metal fences are built to withstand the elements and can last for many years with minimal maintenance. Additionally, metal fences offer a high level of security, as they are difficult to breach or tamper with. Whether you need a metal fence for residential or commercial purposes, it is a wise investment that will not only protect your property but also add value and curb appeal. Trust our experienced team at Real Fencing to provide you with top-quality metal fencing solutions that meet your specific needs.

PVC FENCING When considering fencing options in Hawkes Bay, New Zealand, one popular choice is PVC fencing. PVC, or polyvinyl chloride, fencing offers several advantages that make it a preferred option for many homeowners. One of the main advantages is its durability. PVC fences are resistant to rot, rust, and pests, making them a long-lasting investment. Additionally, PVC fencing is low maintenance, requiring minimal upkeep over time. Another advantage is the wide range of styles and designs available. Homeowners can choose from different types of PVC fencing materials, such as privacy fences, picket fences, or decorative fences, to suit their specific needs and preferences. Overall, PVC fencing provides a cost-effective and aesthetically pleasing solution for enhancing the security and appearance of any property in Hawkes Bay.

Garden fencing offers numerous benefits for homeowners, making it an essential addition to any outdoor space. Firstly, garden fencing enhances the security of your property by creating a physical barrier that deters trespassers and protects your plants and belongings. Additionally, garden fencing provides privacy, allowing you to enjoy your outdoor area without worrying about prying eyes.

NORTH CAROLINA

5 Dec 2019 (Thu) – We drove into Wilmington today.  It was about an hour away.  First stop was at the Bellamy Mansion.  A doctor lived there with his wife and nine children.  It was a beautiful building.  An unusual aspect was that the dining room was in the basement. The main floor had four parlor rooms. Upstairs had many rooms; presumably bedrooms for all the kids and their nine slaves.  The mansion had four floors.  The docent who took us on a tour was very chatty and he knew so much about the family and the time period.  It was a very interesting visit.

    Next stop was at Front Street Brewery. We enjoyed a nice meal and Paul had a flight of six beers to sample.  We walked around the neighborhood for a bit.  There were many antebellum homes.  The area was very beautiful.  The main road had dozens of houses lining the roadway; each with a plaque describing its date of construction and who lived there.

    After lunch and the local tour, we drove to the Railroad Museum.  It was mostly a model train center.  After admiring all the little trains and towns, we climbed up onto a caboose, a train engine, and a box car decorated with hobos.  

    When we got back, we gathered up information about the SMART club and went over to talk with another camper. He and his wife were interested in hearing about the club.  Another woman was visiting and joined in the conversation, too.  A man came running over, grabbed a brochure, thanked us, and ran back to his rig.  That was very funny.

 4 Dec 2019 (Wed) – We drove to the North Carolina Aquarium this morning. Their roof was undergoing repair from the recent hurricane.  When we first arrived, we saw a lone construction guy up on the very high peak. Not only did it look lonely, it looked very dangerous.  He was on a glass roof that was over the reptile area that included a 15 foot albino alligator.  Talk about dangerous jobs!!!

    We spent about an hour in the aquarium. It was small and half of it wasn’t accessible because of the roof damage.  There was nothing we hadn’t seen somewhere else.

    Lunch was at Jack Makerel’s Restaurant. It was a pub located in a lovely old building.  The food was good and they had a flight of beers that Paul thoroughly enjoyed.

    After lunch, we went to Fort Fisher Historical Site.  There was a battle there during the Civil War.  It was gruesome!  The battle lasted more than two days.  There were 1,400 North Carolinians and 300 south Carolinans who held off 10,000 northern forces for 58 hours.  The battle raged on and at the end, everyone was reduced to clubbing each other in hand-to-hand combat.  When Fort Fisher finally fell to overwhelming forces in January 1865, it marked the beginning of the end.  Robert E. Lee surrendered in April 1865.  Today, many of the redans are still in place.  A replica of a large canon sits inside a small fenced area.  Across the street stands a tall monument in tribute to the men who died during the battle.    

 3 Dec 2019 (Tue) – The weather cleared up and while it is still cool in the low 50s, at least the rain stopped.  We pulled up stakes and headed out to Fort Fisher Air Force Recreation Area Campground at 9:30 am.  It is a National Guard Training Base with a campground.  There is no gate and no base facilities.  They do have a swimming pool that is closed for the season.  The area suffered damage from Hurricane Dorian in September and there is a lot of repair work in progress.  There was a crew putting a new roof on the registration office.

    This is a very nice beach town. There are rows of pastel colored three-story homes, many with signs offering the house for rent.  Most of the buildings are empty as this is not the popular season.  We are on a narrow island with the Atlantic Ocean on one side and a bay on the other. We walked out onto the Kure Beach Pier. There were dozens of birds looking for goodies from the many fishermen on the pier.  One guy had just caught a blowfish and was throwing it back in.  He said he was trying to catch trout or whiting. The stretch of beach on either side of the pier reminded me of California.

    We went to dinner at Fred’s Italian Restaurant.  It was a cute little place and was about half full.  Paul had pork chops, baked potato, and applesauce.  I had shrimp scampi.  While Paul was happy with his meal, I didn’t like mine.  The appetizer (crab dip) had too much parmesan in it. The bread dip was more vinegar than oil. My shrimp was tough and chewy. The angel hair pasta was bland. My sangria was too dry.  All in all, I did not enjoy the meal.  Except for the company.  He was perfect!  And the ambiance was nice, too.  :-)

 2 Dec 2019 (Mon) – We went for a walk down by the water yesterday.  The marina was very quiet – no cars, no planes, no people.  It was very peaceful.  While we were looking out over the water, a fish broke out of the water.  It turned out to be two dolphins swimming by.  One was larger than the other so we thought it was a mother and child making their way up the river.  The sighting was a delightful treat!

    While I did some baking this morning, Paul did the laundry.  They have a small set up here in the campground with two washers and three dryers.

1 Dec 2019 (Sun) – It rained all night.  At least it wasn’t noisy like our popup used to be.  When it rained in that one, it sounded like popcorn popping.  It was raining when we got up and rained on and off all day today.

    We left at 11:30 a.m. and drove around the base, exploring the area.  This is a very large base with lots of amenities.  They have a golf course, a yacht club, two marinas, a couple of recreation areas, lounges, a movie theater, and a large housing complex. They rent out campers and boats to the marines on base.

    After checking out the base, we drove toward Beaufort.  On the way, we stopped for lunch at a restaurant called Smithfield’s Chicken BBQ. It was kind of like a McDonald’s. You walked up to a counter with the menu overhead behind the counter.  You gave your order and got a number then took a seat.  When your food was ready, a waitress brought it out to your table.  While we were eating, wait staff came by offering to clear away garbage and offering refills on our drinks (very UNLIKE McDonald’s).  The food was pretty good.

     When done, we continued on to Beaufort to the North Carolina Maritime Museum.  A great deal of the museum was dedicated to the story of pirates in general, and Blackbeard in particular.  Queen Ann’s Revenge, Blackbeard’s flagship, was found sunk a half mile off the coast here in North Carolina.  They had artifacts from the ship and detailed stories of the ship’s plunder.  After going through the museum, we went across the street to the Watercraft Center where a lone volunteer was working on a project.  We got to talking to him and he regaled us with details of the boats they make there.  It was very interesting.

     On the way back to the base, we stopped at a Food Lion to pick up groceries and Pet Smart to get food for Bonnie and Sheba.

 30 Nov 2019 (Sat) – We went to the Galley for breakfast again today.  We were the only people in there for about 20 minutes then four Coast Guardsmen came in.  The cafeteria has never been very full each time we have been in there.

    After breakfast, we finished packing up and left the base.  It rained most of the drive to the Cherry Point MCAS (Marine Corps Air Station) in Havelock. The office was closed but a packet was sitting outside with paperwork for us.  After we set up, we settled in and just watched TV for the afternoon.  I just couldn’t get warm.

     After feeding the animals, we went out for dinner to a Mexican restaurant.  The food was very good.  The margaritas were listed on the menu as small, large, monster, and pitcher.  Paul got the monster and I got the large. They were VERY filling!

      When finished, we drove back on the base to the shopping complex looking for the package store.  While there were several stores in the complex, there was no liquor shop.  We drove a block down the road to the gas station figuring that they might have wine and liquor in there like they do on other bases.  Sure enough, they did and we picked up some drinks.

    During the drive from Elizabeth City to Havelock, we passed many small and run down homes.  There were also lots of trailers along the way, too.  Based on all those homes, we think this is a pretty poor state.

29 Nov 2019 (Fri) – We got up early and went to the Galley for breakfast. The choices were pretty good:  scrambled or hard boiled eggs, sausage (it was cold), ham, diced potatoes, and pancakes. There was a waffle maker on the counter but no batter.  You could toast bread or bagels.  The coffee was like flavored dishwater.  Ugh. The cost was even better:  $7.50 for both of us!  This is pretty good cost-wise.

    After breakfast, we drove to the Outer Banks.  First stop was at the visitor’s center to get another map.  They also had a centennial memorial to flight next to the center. Starting with the first flight by the Wright Brothers in 1903, there were several columns in an oval, each listing several aviation firsts, and ending with 2003.  It was interesting to see how far we have come in one hundred years.

    We drove more than two hours to the end of Pea Island to Hatteras.  There was a great looking museum – “Graveyard of the Atlantic” – that was closed. That was very disappointing.  We parked and walked out to the seashore.  There were many vehicles parked on the beach and it seemed like there was a fishing competition going on.  People were standing on the beach casting lines into the crashing waves.  There were several commercial boats fishing out in the ocean. One particular boat had hundreds of birds flying around it. We figured they were probably fileting their catch and the birds were looking for scraps.  Paul got pictures of pelicans flying by.  We stood on the beach and watched everything for a while then left.

    We then stopped at the Cape Hatteras Light Station.  The museum was also closed (bummer).  You could buy a ticket to climb the 210 foot tall lighthouse but we did not.  It looked like it was the same height as the Fire Island Lighthouse but when we checked it online, it turned out it was only 167 feet.  Significantly smaller than the Cape Hatteras station.

    Lunch was at the Buxton Munch.  It was a very small restaurant but very busy. It was rated number one of 48 in Buxton. We both had crab cake sandwiches which were OK but not as good as the crab cakes we had the other day.

    After we got back, fed the animals, and walked Bonnie, we went to dinner at the Galley.  They had the typical choices:  two proteins (hot dogs or chicken breast), one starch (rice), two vegetables (peas or collards), and hush puppies (I’m not sure what they are). The mess hall closed at 5:45 p.m. and although we were still eating, they shut all the TVs off promptly at 5:45. They were in a hurry to get home!  It was clear that it was time to leave.

    28 Nov 2019 (Thu – Thanksgiving Day) – Since it was a holiday, we assumed everything was closed and just stayed around the campground today.  At 5 p.m., we went to the Coast Guard Galley (cafeteria) for dinner.  They had turkey and ham, mashed potatoes, corn, green beans, corn bread, salad fixings, soup, and various cakes and pies for dessert.  Most of it was canned; not fresh made.  Oh well.  It was holiday meal.  And it only cost us $7.70 each ($15.40).  What a deal!!

 27 Nov 2019 (Wed) –We were planning on leaving Friday, November 29, for southern North Carolina.  Unfortunately, the camp host said they did not have anything on that day but the next day was open.  So we changed our departure date to the 30th, meaning we could go back to Cape Hatteras the day after Thanksgiving.

      We went to the Museum of the Albemarle this morning.  It was a nice museum but all reading.  They divided the history of the area by eras – the Railroad Era, the Automotive Era, etc. It was a little confusing.  

     We went to the movies tonight and saw “Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood.”  It was not what I expected.  Rather than being a movie about the life of Mr. Rogers, it told the story of a conflicted news reporter who was affected by Mr. Rogers.  Tom Hanks was good, as always, but I don’t think I really cared for the movie.

26 Nov 2019 (Tue) – What a great day we had today.  First, we drove to the Wright Brothers National Memorial at Kitty Hawk.  There was a visitor’s center with a small display area telling the basic story of the Wright Brothers’ lives and accomplishments.  Out in the open field, there was a stone marker commemorating the 25th anniversary of the first manned flight.  There were also four markers, each for their successive flights on December 17, 1903.  The first attempt failed.  The second try lasted 12 seconds.  The third was also 12 seconds long; the fourth was 15 seconds; and the last, and most famous, lasted 59 seconds.  There was a young boy at the field on that day.  He was 8 years old and had skipped school to watch the planned flight.  He lived to see man land on the moon 66 years later.  Wasn’t that amazing?!?!?  It is so incredible how far we went from those early flight experiments.

    There was a large monument up on a hill. That was where the brothers flew their gliders from.  They set many records for gliding.  Down on the walk was a picture commemorating the 25th anniversary celebration.  In it were Orville Wright and Amelia Earhart. It gave me chills.

    When we left the Wright Brothers memorial, we drove down the main road on the Outer Banks until we came to a local brewery where we stopped for lunch.  Paul did a beer flight and I had a glass of wine.  The food was pub fare – good but nothing to write home about.

    After lunch, we continued down the main drag to the Fort Raleigh National Historic Site.  This was the site of the Lost Colony.  In 1581, explorers from England arrived on Roanoke Island.  They befriended the natives and explored the area then returned to England.  They came back the following year and left again.  In 1984, a group of 115 people arrived from England planning to colonize the area. When winter came, they were starving and in need of many things.  Captain John Raleigh was convinced to return to England to get supplies for the colony. When he got home, he found England at war with France.  He was not able to get a boat or provisions to take back to the colony for three years. When he was able to return to the colony in 1987, there was no sign of the colony.  Everyone was gone.  No one has ever been able to figure out what happened to the colonists.

25 Nov 2019 (Mon) – We left Fort Belvoir, VA at a little after 9 a.m.  It was a 3 hour drive to Coast Guard Base Elizabeth.  Signage on base was poor and the camp area was hard to find.  We only have 30 amp hookup.  The camp area is in a small circle on a corner.  The other, 50 amp, area is nicer.  Maybe next time.

     We explored the base.  It is a small training base.  There is a Galley (dining hall) that we can eat at because I am retired.  We walked over and looked over the menu.  I think we will probably eat Thanksgiving dinner there.

     The Base Exchange was nice and we picked up a couple of bottles of wine.

10 Paradisaical Honeymoon Places in India for March 2018

The month that lies on the brink of summer and spring, March is one of those times in a year when a vacation is practically irresistible to score. With the winter just shedding its coat, misty mornings and a pleasant weather throughout the day are what make for the ideal getaway. Here are a few places to visit in March in India where you can plan your retreat to prepare for the summers.

Sikkim

A gem in the north-east, Sikkim is the perfect place to visit in March in India for those looking forward to getting away from their harsh metropolitans. Ravangla, Sikkim’s only tea estate, is flanked by the Kunchendzonga peak, is one of the hidden treasures of the valley, as are the 200 species of orchids and rhododendrons. With easy to moderately difficult hikes, that can be easily traversed by children and older people alike, to the majestic Tsongmo Lake, and the rapid water sports in the Teesta and Rangeet river, Sikkim has something to offer to people from every walk of life. March is one the perfect months to visit the place for its breezy weather and slightly nippy air for those who want to experience Sikkim in its full glory.

Havelock Island, Andaman and Nicobar Islands

One of the most beautiful and serene islands in the Andaman cluster, Havelock is a paradise for those looking for a serene escape. A popular honeymooners’ destination as well, one of the most talked about part of Havelock, is beach number 7, also known as the Radha Nagar Beach. Awarded in 2004 as the ‘Best Beach in Asia’, by Time, the swimming elephants are the most popular attraction here. With temperature not hovering over 20 degrees and cool ocean breezes flowing throughout the day, the beautifully made villas and picturesque houses are the cherries on top.

Ooty, Tamil Nadu

If a lost world colonial charm is your idea of a dream vacation, look no farther than Ooty. Complete with a toy train ride to the quaint little hill station. All English everything, from the colonial style bijou, fenced flower gardens, evergreen hills and the thatched roof churches of course. The sleepy hamlet has a memorable stupor, and a sense of timelessness, with lush botanical gardens, lakes, tea plantations and waterfalls. When here, don’t forget to check out popular spots like Tiger Hill, Ooty Lake and the Dodabetta Peak.

Ranthambore, Rajasthan

Although the appropriate travel time as suggested by frequents to Ranthambore is September to February, March is the month for wildlife buffs to visit the place. The most popular destination here is the Ranthambore National Park and the Ranthambore Fort. The Park, that started as a tiger preservation site for Project Tiger in 1973, has now become the biggest and most populated tiger reserve in the country. The onset of summer is when the forest is at its barest and tiger spotting is the easiest. Located within the park is the Ranthambore Fort, which is one of the six forts in Rajasthan to be a part of the World Heritage Sites. Home to the most elusive leopards and the fishing cat, the Ganesh Temple is thronged by thousands of pilgrims during the annual Ganesh Festival. For those who can’t make it to the festival, any Wednesday is perfect to witness the deity dressed in decadence and worshipped in finery by the locals.

Coorg, Karnataka

Coorg is often called an affluent hill station, nestled in the lap of luxury and raw natural beauty. During the period of March to May, the tea and spice plantations start blooming, and the valleys are filled with the fragrance, making Coorg not only a treat for your eyes but also for all your senses. A paradise for beginners in trekking, Coorg also proves to be an elitist destination with 3 golf courses in Mercarra, Polibetta and Bitangla. Often referred to as the ‘Scotland of India’, Coorg calls for a spot on your bucket list for its mesmerising natural beauty.

Kodaikanal, Tamil Nadu

Kodaikanal is an exceptionally laid back hill station to visit in March in India in the lush Palani Hills of the Western Ghats. With a slight fog looming in mornings and evenings, it is a popular honeymooners’ destination and the sleepy traveller’s paradise. Nature walks in the overly green fields, cycling in the long stretched roads and having brunches at viewpoints are some of the things you can do during your retreat here. Don’t miss the sparkling waterfalls when in Kodai.

Mount Abu, Rajasthan

The only cool and calm spot in the desert state of Rajasthan, Mount Abu is chiefly a pilgrimage cum family vacation place to visit in March in India. The Jain Temples of Dilwara, that were built almost a thousand years ago, and about 80 other temples in the city make it a religious spot. The temple architecture of Dilwara and the Nakki Lake is what attracts people from around the world as well. March to April is the ideal time to visit, since the summer festival attracts pilgrims from the country, making it impossible to leisurely enjoy the old world charm of the city.

Shillong, Meghalaya

Shillong continues to be the cultural and educational hotspot of the north-east and is also quite popular among researchers. With what can be called as raw life pulsating through Meghalaya‘s capital, Shillong is the best place to visit in March in India, when the clear blue skies form the perfect backdrop of the Khasi Hills that flank the city on its east. Be it shopping on the Bara Bazar and the Police Bazar, or long walks among the pine trees and waterfalls or an enriching visit to the Don Bosco Museum, a vacation in Shillong in itself is a complete experience.

Munnar, Kerala At a height of 6000 feet, you can be assured about tranquillity and a safe distance away from the doldrums of city life in Munnar in Kerala. Situated at the confluence of Nallathanni, Kundaly and Madharupuzha rivers, the weather all around the year is just perfect to go for an exhilarating trek or a laid back elephant ride, or even boating. Tea and spice plantations dot the landscape and the tea museum here is an absolute must visit for all travellers to Munnar. The aromas of this tiny town will faintly remain in your mind for the months to come.

Wayanad

Replete with enchanting waterfalls, historical caves, comfortable resorts and homestays, this popular town is famous for its spice plantations and wildlife. Among the prettiest areas of Kerala, Wayanad has a multitude of options for its visitors. Walking through the sprawling spice plantations, taking that trek into the pre-historic caves and experiencing a resort holiday is one of the many things you can do to get a taste of Wayanad. A great place to spot wild elephants, cool breeze, beautiful scenery, Wayanad is guaranteed to please your travel senses. Overall, a perfect weekend idea from cities of South India. Although the temperature in Wayanad remains nearly constant throughout the year but the best time to visit Wayanad is October- May. The weather is extremely good during this period of time.

So, let’s choose something out of the box and make the best of summers. March is near_make your vacations clear.
