Qualified Builder being sought for exterior building work Pt Chev

Heather from Point Chevalier

A long shot, but looking for a suitably qualified builder who might be between jobs, for some exterior work for our home in Pt Chev. Prefer a fairly immediate start. About 2- 3 weeks work initially. Would be distanced from owners in level 3. Please private message me. Many thanks.

Time is running out... only two weeks to go! ⏳

Signing up only takes 2 minutes and when you do, you’ll be entered to win a personal emergency grab bag or civil defence wheelie bin kit from NZ Civil Defence.
ShakeOut takes place around the world to remind people of the right action to take during an earthquake:

DROP - down on your hands and knees. This protects you from falling but lets you move if you need to.

COVER - your head and neck (or entire body if possible) under a sturdy table or desk (if it is within a few steps of you). If there is no shelter nearby, cover your head and neck with your arms and hands.

HOLD - on to your shelter (or your position to protect your head and neck) until the shaking stops. If the shaking shifts your shelter around, move with it.

Head to www.shakeout.govt.nz... to sign up today and get involved!

The builder wants to throw them in a skiff and I sincerely don't want to do that. These good be recycled in to something excellent. Or used as stairs.

The measure about 5.2 on the flat and 1.0 wide. At an angle stepping up to 2.4 metres they span a length of 4.9 metres.

Call me on 021395396. John.

Only one issue - they need to be gone by the weekend. Or else they are in the skip. We live in the St Lukes area.

KEEP YOUR DOG ON A LEAD WHEN YOU ARE OUT WALKING!

My elderly cat Oscar (18) was attacked yesterday by yet another irresponsible owner who obviously can't deal with the simple things in life, like putting a lead on their dog when out walking it.

He was attacked in front of our house. I do not know whether he will survive from this attack by a dog which looks very similar to a bull mastiff.

Absolutely sick to death of people not keeping their dogs on a lead and not keeping it under control.

It is against the law to not have your dog on a lead in public.

This is the second time in a year that one of my furs has been attacked by a dog with it's owner there with it. Taylah (dog) was attacked while we were out walking (my dog was on a lead) by one of our fellow neighbours dogs a labrador, who clearly thinks that dog regulation rules don't apply to her when she goes out walking.

Same as the lady yesterday whose dog attacked my cat.

I have seen two, TWO dogs this morning out for their morning stroll - and guess what! Both were off lead.

If I see you AND your dog off lead, I will now be taking a photo and lodging a complaint with Animal Management.

If you walk your dog off lead, I suggest you think twice about doing it. Take some personal responsibility about dog ownership. If your dog is registered you will in fact know you are breaking the law by not having it on a lead and under control.
