This weekend marks the official completion of a year-long renovation of an ex-Kainga Ora house by a group of students at One Tree Hill College.
The 1970s house was set to be demolished, but instead was transported from Māngere East to the school grounds - for $1 - in May last year.
It has been loving restored by the level 3 BCITO Trade Academy students - and now has a higher Homestar rating than most new builds.
At a starting bid of $200,000 the buyer will also take home an array of goods donated by the community for the house including a David Trubridge light, an Anna Frances lolly scramble art piece and a one-year lease for an electric vehicle.
Charlotte McKeon, the teacher in charge of trade says over $300,000 worth of building material have been donated to make the project possible.
She speaks to Kathryn alongside student Alisha Taylor who has been busy doing the hard yards to get the house finished.
