The Windy Hill shack – demonstrating reuse of construction materials  

A Stockyard Hill Wind Farm couple who were recently retired, had some time on their hands and decided to make good use of the various materials leftover from construction and up-cycle packing cases, pallets, foam, tape and tarps to renovate their outdoor shack situated on top of a hill on their property. 

Construction crews would put aside material they jokingly referred to as ‘shopping’ for the couple whereas the couple tended to refer to it instead as ‘treasure hunting’.  

The Windy Hill’ is now a very comfortable area for family and friends to enjoy all year round.
