Re-New 113 King St North, Hastings CBD.
Sadly, I have made the decision to sell my business, or give up the lease on the workshop to a new tenant. Unless someone is interested in taking over just the workshop, and sharing the facilities. Or sponsorship.
I only have until the end of the first week of September to find a solution, or end up in serious financial trouble.
If anyone is interested in taking over the Re-New Community Workshop and Store, or just taking over the building lease, or workshop, please contact me, as soon as possible. The workshop is huge, with a spray painting booth, a welding area, workrooms, office spaces, laundry, 2 toilets, smoko room, storage, rear access roller door and included parking. The store front has a 12m wide glass front, with awesome street view. The premises is nearly 500sqm. There is plenty of street parking and a council off street parking yard next to us, with the public toilets right by the corner of the shop.
I am willing to negotiate what is included in which arrangement. But I don’t have time to wait.
The business purchase includes almost everything, from tools, materials, equipment, IT, furniture, website, social media accounts and more.
All I’m asking for, price wise, is enough to see me free and clear of debt. How much that is is to be discussed with any potential interested party. Everything else is negotiable.
For those who think it’s a waste of money, I have been awarded nearly $50,000 in grants over the past 3 years, because it is a massively viable opportunity. It’s simply that, while it seems a lot, over 3 years, it’s not, and I no longer have the connections, or finances to make it work. I was let down by the people who promised to be part of it, and never followed through. Partly because of their own finances, partly because of the cyclone, and the big one just changed their mind at the last minute, despite 5 weeks of plans and assurances. Then blamed it on the cyclone. Maybe true, maybe not. But I wasn’t the only one they burned.
This business can be successful, but not without financial resources or connections, which I no longer have.
This is a chance for someone to do what I haven’t been able to…make a positive difference. On a societal scale.
Or just have a place to set up your own business.

We're on the lookout for the most beautiful spots in New Zealand, and would love to hear your favourites.
While it will be impossible to include all of them in one article, we'd appreciate your help in narrowing it down. What do you think are most beautiful places in NZ's regions? Do you have a favourite spot in the Waikato, Taranaki, Canterbury, Southland or elsewhere?
Feel free to comment below, send me a message or email me at lorna.thornber@stuff.co.nz. Please include 'NFP' in your comment if you do not want it or your name included in an article. Thanks in advance for taking the time to share.
With online being the main mode of communication these days, it's no wonder that there has been a worldwide mail decline and here in Aotearoa, NZ Post has needed to lay off 750 full-time staff. Do you think it's time to say goodbye to the trusty letterbox?

Vintage furniture can sometimes need a little TLC before it’s displayed in your home, and pieces you’ve had for a while may also be ready for a spring clean. A quick wipe-down or wash will suffice for some things, but how do you tackle those harder-to-clean items?
Cane:
Cane chairs, tables, shelves and bedheads, with their small crevices, can be dust magnets. Fortunately, you can remove dust with a feather duster, or a vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment, and use an old toothbrush for hard-to-reach areas. To get rid of dirt, most items can be wiped down with a damp cloth, and stains tackled with a soft-bristled brush dipped in a mix of gentle dishwashing liquid and warm water. Make sure not to leave your cane furniture wet after cleaning as mould can grow. Dry it with a fan or leave outside in the sun.
Wood:
Dust wooden furniture gently with a soft cloth, or damp cloth if needed. According to the Smithsonian’s Museum Conservation Institute, wooden furniture should be cleaned only when there is a build-up of wax or dirt, and only unfinished wood, painted wood, or wood with a sturdy finish should be cleaned. Oily dirt or waxy residue can be removed with diluted mineral turpentine or a mix of mild detergent and water but take care this doesn’t affect the wood or finish (do a spot test somewhere unobtrusive first).
The Smithsonian recommends avoiding polishes, oils and beeswax, and to instead buff with a stable, hard furniture polish, no more than twice a year for areas of heavy wear, and once every three or four years for other areas. Most other products will do more harm than good as they cause a build-up over time which can be hard to remove.
Fabric and leather:
You can dust fabric or suede surfaces using the brush attachment of your vacuum cleaner (on low suction), and wipe leather with a soft, damp cloth. Don’t forget to clean in between the folds and creases of couches and chairs.
From dishwashing liquid to vinegar and baking soda, there are a number of household products you can use to attempt to get out a stain, but it is best to research the correct method for each specific item and type of stain and do a test first to ensure the product you’re using won’t damage the fabric.
Always dab rather than rub at the fabric to ensure you don’t weaken it. You may need to repeat the process a number of times to fully remove a stain, and stubborn stains may need to be seen to by a professional.
Heart attack is a leading cause of death in New Zealand.
Learn to recognise the warning signs and symptoms of a heart attack, so you know what to do if you see or experience them. Don’t try to walk it off, wash it off or push through it. Make the right call, it may save your life.
