First job in Canterbury done!

Todd from Todd's Total Property Services

It has begun.

Todd's Total Property Services has just completed its first job since making the move from the Taranaki down to Canterbury.

Bill's fence had taken a beating with the recent wind, rails gave out and iron went everywhere.

With a quick trip to Bunnings for new rails, bugel screws and roofing screws, a leisurely drive out to Oxford, a few hours labour, some good yarns and a laugh we had the fence fixed up in no time, strengthened a couple of dodgy rails and cut up a downed tree for good measure.

Naturally the neighbour wanted an insurance quote for her back fence which was unfortunately beyond repair. With some luck, the quote will be accepted and I'll be out in Oxford next week!

Looking forward to helping out the good Canterbury folk, spinning yarns and bringing the community together.

Take care out there everyone.

Todd.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.

This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Do you think this ban is reasonable?
