Very good order.
We altered the size of our wooden table to fit our current house better. As a result, it went from an 8-seater to 6-seater. We now have two chairs for sale. They are solid wood and in good condition. Can be viewed and picked up from Raumati Beach. For sale at $30 each. Not sure what the wood is. … View moreWe altered the size of our wooden table to fit our current house better.

Our property backs on to the large vacant piece of land known as Tamaki Place (off Barrett Drive). It is owned by the Waikanae Land Company. In past years a contractor has mowen the weeds, grasses and black berries at least once a year, but it has been quite some time now since it has been cleared.… View moreOur property backs on to the large vacant piece of land known as Tamaki Place (off Barrett Drive). It is owned by the Waikanae Land Company. In past years a contractor has mowen the weeds, grasses and black berries at least once a year, but it has been quite some time now since it has been cleared. I am concerned about the height of the grass near our boundary. I used to pay a gardener every three months to keep the boundary clear but it became too expensive to pay for the upkeep of someone else's property!! I have tried through lawyers and the Kapiti Coast District Council to get contact details for WLC, but to no avail. Does anyone know how WLC can be contacted so the grass can be cut? Thank you.
In every neighbourhood, there’s someone who goes the extra mile, mowing lawns for the elderly, running the kids’ footy team, or simply being the first to lend a hand. These unsung heroes make our communities stronger, kinder, and more connected.

Water has been leaking into the garage and after removing the garden soil that had built up outside I have temporarily lined it with plastic (with drainage holes) but need to cover this in stones to keep it all in place until I can get a professional plumber to do it properly. The stones need to be of a size I can lift with ease. Ideally, if anyone has a 3 -4 meter off cut of 100 mm Nova Coil lying around their property that would be better than the plastic bags. I have tried to buy this from suppliers but they only sell complete rolls. Thank you.
