Stairs free to a new home
Due to renovating our old villa property we have removed stairs that descended in wrong location (kitchen) and had new ones made. Looking for a new home are very heavy and solid remu stringers, handrail, newel posts and balustrades. Wide steps made of mdf and covered in underlay with previously fitted axminster carpet still available. Stairs in two parts, previously to a total height of 3m 58cm, turning at 90 degrees in centre with small landing (landing not available). Measurements as follows: Stringers: 4m long (12 steps) and 2.5m long (8 steps), both are 27 cm deep and 4 cm wide. Safe deep tread depth (going) of 29cm and height (rise) of 16 cm. Available for viewing and yours to take away.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

Some Choice News!
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!
