Handy Man
Hi there, my name is Karl and I'm as handy as I am honest, decent and respectful.
I have just returned from the UK and I'm currently awaiting a placement on a permaculture farm in Wanganui.
In the meantime I need to get by so I thought I'd post an advertisement on neighbourly.
I'm an experienced Tiler + I have worked several types of construction and landscaping jobs, I'm competent and efficient in painting & decorating, gardening, home maintenance and all things 'hands-on'.
I will be available for the next couple of months until I pursue my next phase of training and occupation on a more earth friendly and sustainable path.
Obviously I could just get a temporary job but I feel that there's more meaning and purpose in being useful in my community using the skills I have to help other people - it also means that I don't have to contribute to any parts of industries that I feel aren't in line with a sustainable future for us all.
Get in touch if there's a job you just don't want to do, I'll take on most types of home maintenance and general renovation jobs - even if you just some help with something, I'd love to get involved.
Take care, speak soon, Karl

⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️
It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:
👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
