Tooting Trucks

Karen from Wadestown

Curious to know if other residents are woken during the early hours of many mornings (frequently around 3.15am) by the very loud and often long tooting truck horns as they leave the NZ Courier Post depot, Kaiwharawhara. We're in Wadestown, and this has been an ongoing issue.

We're in Wadestown, and this has been an ongoing issue. We've contacted Courier Post numerous times and are assured the problem will be addressed, and for a brief time the tooting stops, but never for long. We're just wondering if we're the only ones annoyed by this seemingly inconsiderate practice or are we simply over-reacting? :-)

Building 101: So you want to build a sleep out...

Kylie Klein Nixon Reporter from Homed

When I heard there would be changes to the consent rules around building sleep outs, I was excited. I've always wanted a tea house in my back yard... a garden room where I can do a bit of potting, maybe read a book, or just cool off in the shade.
Turns out it's not quite as simple as a … View more
When I heard there would be changes to the consent rules around building sleep outs, I was excited. I've always wanted a tea house in my back yard... a garden room where I can do a bit of potting, maybe read a book, or just cool off in the shade.
Turns out it's not quite as simple as a trip to the hardware store to burn a hole in your credit card. If you're thinking of putting something up on your property, check in here first:

Auckland drought: Can you shower in 4 minutes?

Mikaela Wilkes Reporter from Homed

The Government wants Aucklanders to save 20L of water a day. But what does that mean at your house?

Buying efficient appliances and fixing one-off leaks can make huge water savings, but so can small changes to daily habits. If every Aucklander showered in four minutes, we'd save 80 million … View more
The Government wants Aucklanders to save 20L of water a day. But what does that mean at your house?

Buying efficient appliances and fixing one-off leaks can make huge water savings, but so can small changes to daily habits. If every Aucklander showered in four minutes, we'd save 80 million litres of water a day.

Would you dare?

Trupti Biradar Reporter from Stuff Travel

It's a cross between a fighter jet and torpedo - that looks like a shark - and this Queenstown ride has been discounted to encourage more Kiwis to travel.

Polystyrene packaging sheets

Stuart from Newlands

Free. Good for someone moving and has some art, or packaging of some sort.

I hate putting this stuff in the bin.
Can drop off in the CBD, Lower Hutt CBD, or Hataitai or Newlands area. Otherwise, collect from me in Newlands.

Free
