Retirement house
Are you around 65 like me, looking to go into a retirement village, or just wanting to free up some cash and not live alone. Please give me a call. I have a large house on the flat in Napier South. I have all my money tied up in the house and would like to free up some money. I would like two others to buy part of my house. We would live together. My house has potential for income so potentially we would all live for cheap if not free, apart from food. Currently I'm finishing renovations but just wanted to gain expressions of interest. Similar to retirement villages should you choose to sell it will be at a set rate so that others in the house are able to get someone else who can afford to come in. Looking for not grumpy people, who enjoy the company of others. Basically easy going.
Say goodbye to tyre waste
About 40% of the 6.5 million tyres Kiwis use every year are recycled, repurposed, or used as tyre-derived fuel. But the rest end up in landfills, stockpiled or dumped.
The good news is now there’s an easy solution to all that tyre waste. It’s called Tyrewise and is New Zealand’s first national tyre recycling scheme.
Tyrewise ensures that tyres in Aotearoa New Zealand are recycled or repurposed properly, saving millions from going to the landfill.
