China Cabinet - URGENT - must be gone by 18 Feb evening

Anita from Ngaio

Large China cabinet, with nice cupboards for glasses, good space at the base for large platters, vases etc, and useful open space in the middle. Needs new handles and would benefit from a repaint.

Dimensions are 2100mm high x 1200mm wide, 300mm deep at the top, and 415mm deep at the middle to … View more
Large China cabinet, with nice cupboards for glasses, good space at the base for large platters, vases etc, and useful open space in the middle. Needs new handles and would benefit from a repaint.

Dimensions are 2100mm high x 1200mm wide, 300mm deep at the top, and 415mm deep at the middle to base.

Comes with adjustable shelving in all the cupboards. Currently the cabinet is a beige colour, with paua handles. Some of these handles have fallen off, and I've done a quick and dirty with makeshift handles, but I have held on to the original paua handles if you'd like to retain the look.

I wanted to keep this with my kitchen upgrade, but it's not going to fit. A shame, because this is actually a fantastic cabinet.

Pick up from Ngaio.

We’ve all got a part to play in being prepared for emergencies. Current MetService predictions are telling us cyclone Gita could be quite severe. To make sure you protect your home and property we recommend you:

- Check your guttering is clear.
- Check and clear the area around any drains you have on your property.
- If you’re aware of any areas where water collects or flows through your property, sandbags can help keep it away. Sandbags can be found at DIY stores such as Mitre10 and Bunnings.
- Have a look at the gutter and street drains outside your property. Are they clear of leaf litter and other debris? If you notice any significant blockages contact your local council.
- Put any rubbish in your wheelie-bin and tie down anything that might get caught in the wind, such as BBQ covers and trampolines.
- Check on your neighbours, and help them out if you can.

Flood events happen quickly, and can do a lot of damage in a short amount of time.

Stay out of flood waters, as there is a risk manhole lids have come loose, there could be debris floating in the water, and it can be contaminated with sewerage.

MEDIA RELEASE: Gita is coming – time to get prepared

Potential pathways for the cyclone could see heavy rain and wind pummelling the Wellington region from Monday, and Wellington Water plans to activate its emergency operations centre from 6am Monday morning to monitor the situation.

“Right now we’re checking known trouble spots such as culvert and drain intakes that can get blocked, and organising standby crews in place for Monday,” said Gary O’Meara, general manager of Network and Customer Operations for Wellington Water.

“It’s also important for people to do what they can as well.

“Check and clear your gutters and drains, and have a look at the street drain nearest your house. Clear any litter or leaf debris. A blockage here can end up creating a major problem.

“Surface water will take the lowest pathway on its way to the sea. If you have a low point on your property, is it vulnerable to flooding or overloaded house guttering? Take some time on the weekend to prepare for a deluge; that could mean investing in a few sandbags or perhaps lifting boxes off the garage floor.”

Mr O’Meara also suggests people think about a contingency plan, including possible working from home in case of school closures.

“Back in November 2016, just after the Kaikoura earthquake, heavy rain closed both State highways, highway 58 and the rail network. At the same time, we had schools closing and parents trying to pick up children, along with service crews trying to help out. It was mayhem.

“It may not happen, and that would be great, but it doesn’t hurt to be prepared. Keep an eye on forecasts on Sunday and through the week and plan ahead.”

“Mr O’Meara had one final message. “Please, stay out of flood water. There’s a risk of manhole lids coming loose and we’d hate for anyone to be injured.”

Hi Neighbours

A dog I was taking care of peed on this couch. It is a big save couch and came with the cleaning kit in the photo. I also have a mini carpet cleaner I can use on it. Would anybody like the couch? You can keep the cleaning kit. If it’s still not good enough you could try replacing the seat foam. They are sewn into the material though so you would have to cut them out. I really don’t want to add such a big item to the landfill!
