Pair of wooden gates ($80/pair) plus old fence palings (free) for removal
Solidly made wooden gates 1500mm high - left hand gate 1135mm wide and right hand gate 1700mm wide. Rubber wheel on wider gate, galv hinges, drop bolts both gates plus new galv striker type latch. Made approx 14 months ago with new framing timber and recycled palings from old gates and fence. Wanting $80 for the pair, well worth the money.
The rest of the existing fence is free for the taking. Used palings - there's approx 88 at 1500mm high x 150mm wide x 15mm thick and they've still got some life in them if you like rustic and free. There's probably recoverable post and rail timber in there as well. Have a part 10 litre pail of fence paint/stain to match the dark colour that's free with the lot as well.
Need to get the fence removed by the 29th of January. I'm around for the removal with power tools etc if anything needs cutting up. We're in the inner city behind the District Court Building. Call Pete on 021-755705.
We're talking new year resolutions...
Tidying the house before going to bed each night, meditating upon waking or taking the stairs at work.
What’s something quick, or easy, that you started doing that made a major positive change in your life?
⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️
It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:
👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
