Ina whakatau tātou ki te whakahou i tō tātou kāinga, ahakoa he hiahia ki te whakawhiti i ngā mea tawhito hei whakahou ake, he wāhanga motuhake rānei, ko te mea tino taunakitia kia mahia ina whakatau ana i tēnei mea ka taea te hoatu i te nui o te wāhi ki tētahi rūma ko ngā ārai, ko ngā tatau rānei o aua rūma.
Ko te whakaaro o ngā tatau he whakarato i te tomokanga, i te putanga rānei ki tētahi wāhi o te whare, engari he iti noa te hunga e mōhio ana ka taea e rātou te hoatu i tētahi pa ahurei ki te hoahoa whānui o te whare.
Ko ngā tatau me ngā matapihi te tikanga hei manaaki i te katoa e tomo mai ana, e tiro mai ana rānei i tō tātou whare, nō reira me mārama tātou ki ngā momo, ngā tae, ngā rauemi, me ngā āhua e wātea ana i te mākete.
I te hoko rauemi, he mea nui kia whiriwhiria he kaiwhakarato, he kamupene rānei e whakarite ana i te kounga me te huatau o te whakaotinga, kei te rauemi e hiahiatia ana te katoa, he tauira mārama ko te kamupene HOPPE e tuku ana i te tini o ngā momo.
He whānuitanga o ngā rauemi e tukuna ana e ngā kamupene mō ēnei hua (pērā i ngā matapihi, ngā arai, ngā tatau rānei), ka taea te hanga ki te rakau, ki te PVC, ki te konumohe rānei, ko tēnei tetahi o ngā mea tino rongonui nā te mea he ngāwari ki te whakamahi, he ngāwari hoki te whakahaere mō tētahi whakaaro hoahoa e puta ake ana.
Engari he maha ngā painga kāore i te tino mōhiotia whānuitia mō ngā tatau me ngā matapihi konumohe, pērā i:
I taua wā anō, he mea pai kia whakaarohia ngā momo tatau me ngā matapihi e wātea ana i te mākete i tēnei wā, pērā i ngā tatau karāhe konumohe e whakakotahi ana i te hoahoanga, te mahi me te matatau. Ko ētahi atu i hangaia, mō ngā matapihi, ko ngā matapihi karāhe konumohe, ngā matapihi konumohe mā, e taunakihia ana mō te hunga e aro nui ana ki te wāhi rūma me te rama.
Mō ngā tatau konumohe, he nui te tono a ngā kaiwhakamahi kia whakamahia ēnei tatau nā te mea he pai te haumarutanga mō te whare, engari ko te mea nui ake, nā te hoahoa, te momo me te āhua o ngā tatau tomokanga konumohe. He maha ngā momo kei te mākete i ēnei rā, mai i ngā tatau reti ki ngā tatau takai, ki ngā tatau whakakikorua rānei.
Nō reira, i te wā e whiriwhiri ana i te momo rauemi, ka tūtohutia kia whakamahia ngā matapihi me ngā tatau konumohe nā te mea he iti te utu, he pai ake hoki mō te hunga kāore e taea te whiriwhiri i te utu nui i te wā e whakahou ana.
