Solid Rimu freestanding workstation

Julie Cronin from Te Mata School Home & School Committee

Is anybody looking for a fantastic centre work island for their kitchen or maybe a bar/becue leaner, or even a workbench for arts and crafts or their garage? This would even make a great breakfast bench with bar stools.

There are about half a dozen old solid Rimu workstations from the Intermediate School Home Ec room. They have built in cupboards and shelves and despite the eye-watering baby blue paint they are in fantastic shape. The worktops are even in nearly mint condition!

The tops measure 70cm deep x 125cm wide x 80cm high. I put steel casters on mine and it's going to be great when I get the paint stripped off. And, it was only $25! Want one now, don't you?!

There are also art stations with removable top stands and casters on the bottom; single and double wooden school desks; shelves and bookcases. Plus more.

Pop into the school by the end of the week to have a look or grab one. Any left next week will be sent to the auction house and they will charge a lot more than $25!

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.

Cleaning a heat pump

Barbara from Raureka

Hi everyone. Can anyone recommend a reliable and reasonable company to clean our heat pump. We used it on cold for a couple of days and when turning it back to warm it has a smell. We get it serviced yearly but the firm we use is expensive.
