Rimu - recyclable pickets - free

Kian from Karori

I have a stack of rimu pickets from a picket fence that's been replaced.

Reason for replacement is the fence rail has failed and it was easier and tidier to replace all the pickets with new ones as the old ones were a bit frayed at the bottom too. There are a few pine pickets mixed in there a few were replaced over the years.

These old rimu pickets could be recycled by either trimming off the bottoms and using them (shorter) on another picket fence, or removing the paint and recycling the rimu e.g for craft, etc.

Seems like a waste to throw away rimu which is increasingly hard to get. But if interested, please respond asap as I need to let the builder know to either leave or dispose (as I don't have time to do anything with them). Happy to let someone make good use of these rather than see them go to waste!

The idea started with Samuel Parnell, a carpenter in Wellington, who in 1840 refused to work more than eight hours a day. Since skilled workers were in short supply, his employer had to agree.

As more skilled workers arrived, employers tried to change working conditions, but Parnell and others kept pushing for better rights. In 1890, Parnell led a Labour Day parade of 1,500 people to promote the eight-hour day. He passed away shortly after, and nine years later, Labour Day became an official public holiday.
