Gorgeous Vintage Wooden Towel Rack
Whether you are one of the lucky ones living in an authentic 1920s villa with hardwood floors and want that authentic ambience (and I really hope it gets back to where it should be), or want to smarten up your guest room or a bath room for AirBnB - you need the right accessories.
Well, here is your chance to get a gorgeous wooden towel rack for it - so much more stylish than what you get nowadays..
I didn’t even clean it beyond a slight wipe (I know better than to “clean” items to death) but I can tell you that the pictures don’t really do it justice - you kind of expect Poirot to come round the corner at any moment now …
The measurements are:
78 cm (wide) x 90 cm (high) x 17 cm (deep) / 33 cm (feet) with 5 rungs for hanging towels
Pickup please in Green Bay (opposite Green Bay High School) - I don’t want to send it for several reasons:
* cost
* danger of damage
* inconvenience of finding a suitable box and packaging material
* environmental considerations (if possible I prefer to sell local)
Though if you are outside Auckland then maybe a friend of yours in Auckland can do the pickup? Just make sure it’s a good friend or he might keep it … ;-)
As I work from home it can be picked up pretty much any time (unless I have a video conference).
Even Australians get it - so why not Kiwis???
“Ten years ago, if a heatwave as intense as last week’s record-breaker had hit the east coast, Australia’s power supply may well have buckled. But this time, the system largely operated as we needed, despite some outages.
On Australia’s main grid last quarter, renewables and energy storage contributed more than 50% of supplied electricity for the first time, while wholesale power prices were more than 40% lower than a year earlier.
[…] shifting demand from gas and coal for power and petrol for cars is likely to deliver significantly lower energy bills for households.
Last quarter, wind generation was up almost 30%, grid solar 15% and grid-scale batteries almost tripled their output. Gas generation fell 27% to its lowest level for a quarter century, while coal fell 4.6% to its lowest quarterly level ever.
Gas has long been the most expensive way to produce power. Gas peaking plants tend to fire up only when supply struggles to meet demand and power prices soar. Less demand for gas has flowed through to lower wholesale prices.”

If even Australians see the benefit of solar - then why is NZ actively boycotting solar uptake? The increased line rental for electricity was done to make solar less competitive and prevent cost per kWh to rise even more than it did - and electricity costs are expected to rise even more. Especially as National favours gas - which is the most expensive form of generating electricity. Which in turn will accelerate Climate Change, as if New Zealand didn’t have enough problems with droughts, floods, slips, etc. already.
