Who here actually owns a WATER BLASTER & how often do you WATERBLAST your house?
Water blasters cost anywhere from $150-1500 to own and are often used only 1 time per year. If you look to hire one from a place like Hire Pool you'll pay around $100 per day!!!
That is where Mutu comes in.… View moreWho here actually owns a WATER BLASTER & how often do you WATERBLAST your house?

That is where Mutu comes in. You can borrow a water blaster from someone who has it sitting in their garage for as cheap as $25 per day!
Let me know if you would like to borrow one!

Hi all, as it's spring, people are seeing young birds leaving their nests. Sometimes people 'rescue' a young bird that's actually fine and doesn't need help, and other times people may find a bird that needs help urgently. Here are some tips you may like to post in your area:
1. First - check if the bird does actually does need to be rescued. If it's got feathers, don't try to rescue it - it's a fledgling and its parents will probably be nearby. Watch from a distance to make sure a parent is close and there are no predators in the area. If there are predators, put the young bird high up in a tree or tall shrub and shoo the predator away if you can.
2. If the young bird has no feathers, put it back in its nest if possible. If you can't put it back in its nest, it needs help ASAP as it will die from exposure otherwise. If it does have feathers but there's no sign of parents nearby after you've watched it for some time, it also needs help.
IF YOU RESCUE A BIRD
The #1 advice for rescued birds is to keep them warm. Birds feel the cold a lot more than people do - a mild day for humans can be freezing for birds.
--- Put it in a shoe box or similar, with an old t-shirt/soft cloth that's loosely bunched up so it can burrow inside and 'nest' (avoid towels or anything their claws may get tangled with).
--- Fill a hot water bottle or a soft drink bottle with hot water from the hot water tap - NOT boiling, but as hot as possible from the tap. Put it outside the box and rest it against one edge of the box. This acts like a little heater and the bird inside the box can get as close as it wants to the warmth.
Get it to a rescue centre as soon as possible - this site has good information and lists bird rescue centres: birdrescue.org.nz...

Respondents Brendan and Colleen Ross said that Southern Response had left them $100,000 out of pocket and the Supreme Court made the landmark decision to uphold their case on an opt-out basis, which allowed the other claimants to be represented in legal proceedings.
The decision means that if the government pays out in one case, they must pay out to the 3000 others, lawyers estimate this to cost the taxpayer $5 million.
