hi everybody,
I need some single solid wood ( sorry, customwood isn't strong enough ) bed bases with 3 drawers in them. For garage storage. I can manage minor repairs, if they need them.
Also standard kitchen bench height drawers may also help with my storage challenges.
thanks

He has now returned to Otorohanga somewhere between 64 and 68 Phillips Ave (Wrecks of cars in driveway). If you have met him, he probably would have spun a yarn about being the Famous Welsh Rugby star Gareth Evans. Message back if anyone needs any further information, such as media articles outlining his previous dishonesty and escapades etc.

Chicken is a popular dish for many Kiwi families. But are you happy to pay the extra cost for free-range or organic chicken? If so, why do you fork out extra for it? Although buying free-range chicken might be an ethical choice for many, it's not necessarily any healthier than other chicken.
As part of a new Stuff series, we look at why chicken is so cheap to buy nowadays, what happens inside the barn, why chickens get so big and the use of antibiotics in chicken feed. To learn more about what happens to your chicken before you put it in your shopping trolley, click the links above.
