Don't throw away surplus timber or builder materials in inorganic pickup! I might be able to use them instead.
Hey Coasties! Inorganic collection is coming up and I bet there are some of you thinking if throwing out some timber or other surplus building materials? Don't thrown them away! I may be able to make use of them. I'm building my kids a playhouse out of 100% recycled materials. (You may have seen a story about it in today's Rodney Times).
I'm looking for:
* Framing timber (approx 10cm x 4xm size or thereabouts - standard stud wall stuff)
* Roofing (steel or polycarbonate)
* Plywood
* A small timber framed window that opens
* Large ex playground slide
* Pavers, bricks, or large rocks for landscaping
If you were thinking of throwing any of these things out in inorganic collection starting this weekend, please contact me first and I will come have a look.
Big thanks to those of you who responded to my previous post about this a few weeks ago. I've collected most of what I need from friendly neighbours but there are still a few bits and pieces to go.

I dance in the sky with green and gold, a spectacle few are lucky to behold; I’m best seen in the south, a celestial sight—what am I, lighting up the New Zealand night?

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
