White enameled cast iron bath tub (770 x 1520)

Ray from Avalon

Hello,
I am offering a classic from the '80s - a slightly used, stellar condition and well-kept white enameled cast iron bathtub. It was seldom used (I reckon twice over the past 11 years).

The top enamel is white as snow. Texture is smooth and shiny. No stain.

Hello,
I am offering a classic from the '80s - a slightly used, stellar condition and well-kept white enameled cast iron bathtub. It was seldom used (I reckon twice over the past 11 years).

The top enamel is white as snow. Texture is smooth and shiny. No stain.
The bottom is preserved as it was since it was installed. Smooth and shiny. No rust at the bottom. Strong material integrity.
There are some rusts along the edge but is only cosmetic.
See the photos.

It's condition is far better than the used enameled cast iron bathtub advertised in TradeMe or the internet.

I don't have a trailer. The only option is to pickup from Avalon. Cash or internet banking.

If interested, please send a private message via Neighbourly. Or, reply to this post if you are not a member of Neighbourly.

Thank you. - Ray

Price: $200

Kmart has recalled a line of wooden trays after reports of an invasive wood-eating beetle species within them. A Northland woman found sawdust and holes in her serving tray and alerted the Ministry of Primary Industries (MPI), the governmentโ€™s biosecurity agency.

Don't let your parents go old-school this winter and just throw on another jersey to beat the cold.

They deserve to be truly comfortable in a warm, dry home without stressing about their power bills, or their health.

They might be eligible for Warmer Kiwi Homes, a government grant offering 80% of the cost of ceiling and underfloor insulation, and up to 80% off an energy-efficient heater, like a heat pump.

And they may get it even cheaper than that - lots of community organisations offer extra funding to reduce the cost further.

Go to warmerkiwihomes.govt.nz to check their eligibility.
