What would you like to see happen to St Gerard's
The historic church has closed because of its earthquake-prone status. Its owners made the decision after the owners struggled to raise the $11 million to $13m needed to pay for strengthening work. Only $42,000 had been donated by July 2020.

This will be the last ride for me as I'll be overseas for the next 6-7 weeks.
If someone would like to fill in until I return - around end July - that would be excellent.
Keeping the ride inside the valley, but have a few longer rides planned for when I get home.

"Nature abhors a vacuum. The old adage has seen the white-fronted terns/tara (Sterna striata) move onto the Petone Wharf as a convenient perching spot for hawking (terning?) for fish. Such sleek birds, they turn on a dime, their brilliant white feathers catching the sun as they dive like professionals into the briny.
The old wharf, stretching almost 400m out into harbour, was closed (although a few foolhardy humans ignore the signs and climb the fence) in January for six weeks (hah!) for “urgent” repairs after the earthquakes over the New Year caused it to slump a bit in the middle. To be fair, the piles are infested with marine worms turning the ancient trunks into so much Swiss cheese and the bolts holding it all together are rustier than my first car, so it wouldn’t have taken much. Having seen a cross-section of a pile, I’m surprised it hasn’t collapsed before now. I am looking forward to it reopening though, I miss being able to walk so far out into the harbour – it’s where all the good stuff happens."
I have over 20 metres of 6 x 1 rough sawn fencing timber here. It has been used on a fence which was taken down and replaced with a more solid and higher fence by the neighbour. Still good wood. It is treated but not ground retention treated.

It has been used on a fence which was taken down and replaced with a more solid and higher fence by the neighbour. Still good wood. It is treated but not ground retention treated.
I had plans to use it to build a wood shed but that is not going to happen now.
One side of most of the boards is painted green. They have been stacked one on top of another but some are not perfectly straight.
They are varying lengths.
$35 for the lot. I priced 6 by 1 timber in Mega and it is $4.69 for a 1.8 metre length.
Welcome to come and have a look.
Thanks for looking.
Pickup is in Kuripuni.
(The firewood behind the fencing timber in the pic. is not for sale)
Hey guys have taken all my lights down to replace them by much stronger ones as my sight is declining. It includes all the light which are LED and transformers. Please make me a decent offer.

"I was transferred from Porirua Animal Control. I am a special dude who has had an unusual start to my rehoming journey. I am completely deaf but that doesn't stop me having a great time! I am a loveable boy who has stolen the hearts of everyone at the centre. I am looking for an experienced owner, who has a suitable property for me to thrive in. I'm always up for a walk or a game to play, and I love to find things to do and keep active. I am looking for a home with teenagers or adults, and a home without cats or small animals. I am happy to play with other active dogs, and love to be social with both people and dogs. If you are interested in me and my goofy personality - chat to the canine team."
