Two tier Pergola

Thought I would share this little job with you.

Thought I would share this little job with you.
This is a new two tier pergola built off of an existing deck.
We installed "Simpson Strong Tie" black decorative brackets rather than the bog standard off the shelf type. Our lovely clients intend to paint the structure white which should look great with black brackets.
Hope you are all looking forward to summer. Take care out there. 👍 🔨

Overgrown footpaths and verges in Remuera

Wilma from Remuera

Why is it acceptable for a hedge to grow over a footpath, in many cases 50% or more of path is used. Why not keep the verges mowed, clean and tidy?
Why not remove leaves from the curbs and curb drain. It the rainwater misses your drain, it travels to the next one. How would you like to receive it … View moreWhy is it acceptable for a hedge to grow over a footpath, in many cases 50% or more of path is used. Why not keep the verges mowed, clean and tidy?
Why not remove leaves from the curbs and curb drain. It the rainwater misses your drain, it travels to the next one. How would you like to receive it at your place at the bottom of the many hills around Remuera.
Are you a NIMBY?
When I lived in the country we looked after the verges, commonly called the long acre, sprayed the weeds etc.
Council - pay attention: this could be an income earner. All verges, curbs, footpaths should be cleared and tidy by the section owner.
Council works on parks and reserves, not in front of our houses.
Please Be proud of your ‘road frontage’.

Register by noon Friday prior.

The popular 2-4-2 format allows pairs teams to play both Lead and Skip. Less down time (move more =stay warmer in winter play!).

In the first end of the game the Leads start off with their first 2 bowls each. Then the Skips play their 4 bowls. Then the Leads complete the end with their final 2 bowls. Thus, the Leads act as Lead and Skip in the same end.

In the next end the roles are reversed- so everyone stays where they are and the previous end's winners deliver the jack.
The Skips playing First with their first 2 bowls, then the Leads play their 4 bowls, and finally the Skips complete the end with their final 2 bowls. This alternating pattern continues throughout the game.
