Is your paddling pool legal?

Hi neighbours,

Many people setting up paddling pools for their children this summer will be breaking the law - are you one of them?

Any pool, fixed or portable, deeper than 400mm is now subject to safety provisions under the Building Act, meaning there a quite a few rules you probably aren't even aware of.

For example, do you have a 1.2-metre fixed childproof fence with a self-closing gate opening outwards?

What are your thoughts on paddling pool safety? If faced with an inspection, would your pool set-up pass? Do you think all these rules are essential? What are your tips for setting up a paddling pool safely?

Had car troubles this morning after dropping off my partner to work, had to see what was going on so pulled over in my B.M.W E90 at the top of Highland park Dr.
Had the Bonnet up indicators on, as you do when you breakdown.
Though to these beautiful people that stopped to help it's probably nothing, but to a fellow Kiwi bloke not the prettiest I might add...hehe.
It's a blessing ❤️❤️❤️

In this time and age with lives so busy consumed with everything happening around us, sometimes just a simple take 5 to help someone can make a world of a difference.

I know not everyone would stop it's life, but I often stop for others to ask if they need help.

I feel that God has given back to me, what I have for others in need.

God bless you that stopped to help, may you receive many blessings throughout 2019 and beyond.

BIG BIG Thank you neighbors 😍👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

(I did make it home too). 😉👍🏾

Holiday time can be a sad time when more cats and kitties are abandoned 😔😔😔 Here is a lovely Mum and 3 (now 2) adorable kitties available for adoption desperately seeking loving homes. They were found round Cascades Road a week ago.
Mum is really sweet, probably only a year old...a little timid but loves a pat, has a sweet chirrup and loves to bunt you. She is being desexed, vaccinated and microchipped this Wednesday.
The kittens are about 7 weeks old. The 2 gorgeous ginger boys play and sleep together so would be nice to also get them rehomed together. They will keep each other company too! The little tabby girl now has a home so that's great news 😊😀😊.
All cats will be vaccinated, microchipped and desexed. Please contact Charlotte for more info. Your help would be very much appreciated xx
