Solid 5 metre x 2 metre retractable awning (cover roll and frame) for sale
Expressions of interest are invited on the above item, which will be taken down probably some time in the next 3-4 weeks.
It is difficult to gain a full perspective from the photos, because of its length and degree of extension, but the last pic doesn't show it at full extension.
I think that the framing is powder coated aluminium (not sure) but it is very solid and in excellent condition. It is hand wound in and out.
The cover has rotted out for about the last metre, but the rest of the .canvas-like fabric is in good condition. That leaves two options, 1. reduce the length of extension by cutting off the last metre or so and tucking and restitching the new edge, or 2. replace the fabric roll completely with a new product.
Only being sold because now being replaced by a PVC topped gazebo.
With a bit of imagination this could make an awesome addition to your home.
$99 firm, but buyer will need to collect from Panmure.
Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?

What is happening to our services?
Hi Neighbours
I'm concerned as to the level of services in our city, while our rates keep going up!
A short while ago we had 3 bins damaged in 1 rubbish-day pick-up. It took close to 6 weeks to resolve and I had to repeatedly follow-up progress as the case was closed 2x without any action - one of those instances stated they "couldn't find the bins" but they had never moved from the kerb side they are collected from since they got damaged.
Similarly I reported a small water leak on 1-Aug to Watercare just outside our property, on council land. I heard nothing back and the stream of water running grew and grew. I followed it up last week, only to be told it had been thoroughly investigated and it was not a Watercare issue. If I wanted to resolve it, I could pay a plumber. Yesterday I saw the water reader and said to him the running water is a problem - he agreed. I re-reported it and today it is being fixed - by Watercare - as it is gushing. They repairers assured me it is for sure a Watercare issue.
What can we do about this? We don't pay faulty money - but we get faulty service. It's not good enough.
