Rimu - recyclable pickets - free
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!

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
