Sound from cutting timber with an electric saw this weekend.
Hi Neighborhood,
(update - one thing I want to warn the neighbours around my property on my street and those people who're conspiring with them. don't enter my property area without my permission. I grow a lot of vegetables in my garden, this is the result of my own effort, so they're not for anyone else except for myself and my future flatmates to consume. No need to worry about the vegetables too much for myself alone to consume, as I do have a very good way to consume them very quickly as I have informed the public before. Some of these mentioned people made up stories that some of them entered my garden before, but I didn't disclose them or my outside security cameras didn't capture them. It isn't true, don't trust them, ignore them. They didn't enter my garden as they said and I won't share my vegetables with any of them. Please have a check with the emails I sent to the public before for this matter. Sorry for clarifying this and thanks for your understanding)
The weather looks good this weekend, and I'm going to use the electric saw to cut short, tidy up the heaps of timber I sourced from trademe recently. I will DIY use these timber to build some construction projects later on in my garden, e.g. a deck and other constructions. Cutting the timber will generate some noise, I think the neighbourhood within a few hundred meters range should be able to clearly listen to the sound. The sound should be used for all of us in the residential area when the property owners implement this kind of project for their own garden. If you hear of this very familiar sound again this weekend, it is generated from my place, if not from somewhere else.
Just FYI and sorry for the noise.
Some Choice News!
DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
