Giant candy canes - bending PVC?

Helping out a mate with a project.

Anyone got any good ideas for bending long radius 4 inch pvc? Needs to be even and look pretty, not my specialty.

Making some giant candy canes.

Be about 2.4m high.

My background is steel work, but that makes for a big heavy item.

Locating buried electrical cables (Rural)

Good morning everyone.

Looking into doing a shed built and some general earthworks.

Somewhere between my house and the roadside are obviously electrical cables.

Dial B4UDig don't have any location records, neither do the company that installed them in 2020.

Is there any DIY/ cheap options or is it time to call in some pros?

Selective spray for Kikuyu?

Hi all, looking to rescue some of my paddock grass from a Kikuyu invasion.

Have seen various conflicting opinions online about what's best, and obviously Roundup is a no-go as I want the other growth to continue.

Registering as a charity for investment funds?

I've been thinking recently about ring-fencing some money into a dedicated high-growth investment account for charitable purposes.

Registered as a charity, there would be some tax benefits vs donations of regular profits.

Over time, as the investment grows, scrape off some profit for donations to local causes etc. However, not many of these would be individuals and not registered as charities.

It seems like a pretty straightforward process to register as a charitable trust with the IRD.

Has anyone set up something similar with banks or with investment brokers before?

Edited for clarity
