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?

Hundreds potentially scammed by fake deaf charity fundraisers

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

People have been handing out poorly written cards with the sign language alphabet in exchange for cash - but they have nothing to do with any deaf charities.

People have been handing out poorly written cards with the sign language alphabet in exchange for cash - but they have nothing to do with any deaf charities.

"We know that they've been in different parts of Wellington [and] Auckland," said Rachel Noble from Deaf Action New Zealand.

She says a similar scam happened in the 1990s, and legitimate groups almost ended up having to pay for the crime. Read more

Free firewood

Mark from Khandallah

Kia Ora friends,

Please come and take this firewood off my hands! It’s mixed variety but includes
some dense hardwood that I think is Manuka.

It’s up some steps so suggest bringing a helper or two and some old sheets to cart it down.

Cheers,

Mark

Does your Bunny or Guinea Pig need a new home?! Ours are no longer with us so their house can be passed on.

900 W x 2000 L - fully contained wire net, fairly light-weight so can be moved around easily, has a corflute/plastic sheet for cover or you can remove it for light. Whole lid lifts up for access to food bowls and water. Included is a large plastic container we used as the hutch, which is warm, cozy & totally dry. It's also really easily cleaned out - take the top off & empty into the bin!!

Could be broken down / unscrewed but probably easily taken away just as is.

Send me a message if interested!
