Tourist control! sorry it happened to you... Swarms of mosquitoes isn't an exaggeration...

I have--I was there when Xenia blew off the map the first time, and was in Band Class in HS watching the yellow sky when Wonderland (near the Columbus airport) blew away--this was less than 4 miles from us. Very scary. Then again, I lived in Escondido CA when the last really bad fires hit, and the firewall stopped at the Wild Animal park fences--about 8 miles from us. Orange sky, smoke and a feeling of heavy dread in the air--didn't care for that either. Sarajane

Must admit that I have never tried polymer clay. When I am in town next will look and see what is available. Last time I looked only Fimo was available and in a very small expensive pack.
I am sure that in Christchurch, Nelson and Wellington where there are big bead shops there would be enough interest. I am going to Auckland this weekend so will look out for a big supplier.
There is always a bed made up for visitors and you are most welcome to visit. NZers love to travel and have family and friends scattered world wide. My ancestors came from England, Mikes from Cornwall. Ireland, Scotland and New York. Our daughter has lived in London for 6 years and our older son has flitted to Antartica, Potsdam , Uk but eventually NZ calls them. I had 2 years in UK, Mike 3 in USA, Canada so we always have itchy feet. Cheers, Jan
I will remember you said that, Jan!! There's a lovely lady in Christchurch that is the big polymer clay supplier for NZ , her name is Petra. Here's her site:
guess I should get in touch with her and see how things are going over there! Sarajane

]That's been proposed more than once...
i know - and part of the problem would be where to split the state.

]That's fine with me - I LIKE having lots of space (and far-off neighbors, LOL). ] Are there any restrictions on livestock or anything like that?
seconded!

Yea, whenever I hear that there are no bugs some place, my response is just that they use more pesticide.
Alaska has a reputation for a lot of mosquitoes, but Alaska has a rather hostile environment for bugs. They like warm/hot and moist. All coastal locations have lots of bugs. Unless you spray poisons.

exaggeration....there
That's why my father moved there... and was starting to complain that there were too many people....
No livestock restrictions that I know of, as long as they are legal to own in Calif. Mostly cattle and horses-- across the road, the lady raises paint horses, and they have "birds" and a few pigs. Also dogs and cats... Somebody around evidently raised emus-- one was coming around for awhile. The former next-door neighbors had goats-- and there is a feral one that checks in occasionally (seems fairly friendly). Feral pigs are an occasional problem.
My father's friend who adopted his horse trains border collies for cattle herding-- don't think she breeds them, though. She only talked about her two. She and her husband have cattle, as well.
Restrictions would probably be due to climatic conditions and/or feed availability. Local predators may be a factor is making choices re: free range stock. There is a feed supply place "jest down the road a piece", and if you can handle a tractor, you'd have the option to raise hay (oat--not enough water for alfalfa). Kaytee "Simplexities" on
When the PMC teachers came to Alaska, they were surprised to find that Fairbanks was the better place to teach. More students and more interest. There are always more options in Anchorage. In Fairbanks, we have fewer opportunities and so were much more enthusiastic, as well as having more students for them.
I'll bet you'd find the same is true there. One of the cool things about the PMC onnection is that they gave us a supplier (themselves). If you could find someone who supplies PC in NZ, I'll bet they'd bend over backwards to help you find students -- who would then become their customers.

Are there any laws or zoning or covenants that would interfere with multiple housing use?

It didn't. It sounded like you were up for adventure.

my kid brother loves going 'pig hunting'. and then the fire department has a pig roast - the kind where you bury it in the ground on top of the coals.

it sounds like pure heaven, to me. of course, most of those places aren't "self-supporting" are they?

Not all. Bugs dare not raise their nasty little heads here. We do get some mosquitoes on summer evenings (not many. I average one mosquito bite a year or so). Our winters are too cold to encourage termites, roaches or other nasties. I don't hire people to spray for anything, and don't know anyone who does. (Except for some people in apartments, where you can't control how clean your neighbors are)
Every three or four years, I use a pyrethrin based insecticide mixed with lots of water, and run a watering can full of the solution along the foundation of the house, to discourage the occasional ant and to keep Sophie from getting fleas. I also use an organic insect control oil on my fruit trees. That's it for us and insecticides.
If we moved further south, we would buy a brick home instead of a wooden one. I don't want to deal with termite problems.

Perhaps I said that wrong. The "pest control" is done by the city or county.
