Brand new karcher wd6 vaccum cleaner, comes with a box of bags..
The high-end WD 6 P Premium multi-purpose vacuum cleaner impresses with its extremely high suction performance of 2000 watts, with an actual power consumption of only 1300 watts. The vacuum cleaner is equipped with innovative filter removal technology, with the flat fold filter contained in a removable cartridge in the device head. By folding out this cartridge, the filter can be removed in seconds without any contact with dirt. Dry and wet dirt can be vacuumed without having to change the filter. Thanks to the integrated filter cleaning function, the dirty filter can be efficiently cleaned by pressing the clean-out button, quickly restoring the suction performance. The socket with automatic on/off switch allows you to work with connected power tools. Dirt resulting from planing, sawing or grinding work is vacuumed directly. The suction performance can be adapted to requirements, both for standard vacuuming operations and for use with power tools. Other highlights: 30-litre stainless steel container, newly developed accessories for the best cleaning results, removable handle with protection against static, drain screw for large water volumes, parking position and much more.

Why did they have to ciopy the American version where three quarters of the show is the hosts or the contestants talking an d if we are lucky we might see what they have built, Whereas the Aussie version shows the contestants actually building and is much more enjoyable. Thought we could do better.
Disappointed? yes I am

Ohorere 👋

Ohorere is the first Tuatara to hatch at Pūkaha since 2005.

Named by one of our Cultural Advisors Mike Kawana, Ohorere means to be surprised or shocked in Te reo.

Ohorere was found by a small class that noticed a hatched egg in our Tuatara enclosure.

This little guy took everyone by surprise even our Rangers and Staff!

Look at him sitting proudly, you may even see his little egg tooth if you look close enough👀.

We have a soft spot for sheep. For many, sheep are symbolic to New Zealand culture with the rearing of sheep being the backbone of the economy for many years.

Sheep farming was established in New Zealand by the 1850s and for several decades wool accounted for more than one third of New Zealand’s exports by value, with the sheep population peaking at just over 70 million in 1982.

This number is significant when compared to New Zealand’s human population of 5 million. By 2020 sheep numbers dropped to 26 million following a decline in profitability compared to other types of farming, particularly dairy.

While also farmed as a food source, today’s article focuses on sheep wool and its environmental attributes.

Wool is a natural and renewable resource and as long as our beloved sheep are eating our tasty green pastures they will always produce wool. Wool has amazing properties that make it ideal for many applications from home furnishings to underwear.

Cotton and synthetic fibres are currently the most commonly produced fibres globally, however, their performance and environmental benefits do not compare to wool.

From Wool to Yarn
The wool clip (the total yield of wool shorn during one season from the sheep) is sent to the scourers where it is cleaned and dried before being spun into yarn. The yarn is then sent to the textile manufacturer where many different processes are involved.

The yarn is wound onto dye cones to be dyed the required colours. Next the yarn is warped onto beams which are threaded through the loom, allowing the weft yarn to run across the warp and create a woven fabric.

The fabric is then inspected, washed, and dried. Very few chemicals are used in the processing, typically only water and heat.
