Old kapok lifejackets, not made since the 1980s, are still being discovered even though they should have been destroyed by now. Gas cylinders in inflatable lifejackets can also corrode and leak if they are not checked.

They want a sale and have instructed us to present all offers.
Beginning life as a renowned restaurant and currently operating very successfully as boutique accommodation, The Peppertree works very well as a function centre and would also make a superb cellar door. Located with State Highway frontage close to Blenheim and situated on the soon to open Picton to Kaikoura cycleway, it is ideally positioned to cash in on Marlborough’s growing tourism industry.
Each of the five beautifully appointed suites has been subtly themed, providing individual charm as well as comfort. The heart of the home is a spacious, recently renovated farmhouse kitchen enjoying garden and orchard views. A large wood burner with wetback and solar heats the water for a series of radiators around the house, ensuring warmth year-round.
Encompassing four hectares and featuring organically managed vineyard and gardens, fruit trees, berry patches, olives and grazing for sheep, cattle, and horses, The Peppertree is close to being self-sufficient. The extra land also offers an opportunity for future expansion and development.
The rateable value for land and improvements is $1,520,000.
All offers requested to be received by 4 pm Wednesday 27 November 2019.
For more information or an appointment to view, please contact Michal or Tim.

A laptop started a small fire at a Coromandel recycling centre after it was run over by a forklift and the lithium battery exploded.
While most of you won't have forklifts at home, have you ever had a laptop or other small appliance spontaneously catch fire?
Breville Toaster 6 months old, vintage blue. Great condition. I'm selling because I have a very old house and the wattage on the toaster shorts the fuse in the house. Had to get a smaller cheaper low wattage one. I love this toaster and the colour, it works perfectly
