Hi Neighbours,
We are looking for someone to possibly do a couple of odd jobs around our place that we don't have the time or expertise to do!

We need someone who can lay laminate flooring, in our kitchen, bathroom, laundry and toilet. We also need a couple of gates built as well, to make our place fully fenced.

Any suggestions of people would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

This one is pretty simple. You're a Neighbourly member so connecting with your community is obviously pretty important to you. So this tip is more of a challenge; this year (or this weekend!) make it your mission to meet someone new living near you.

Here's a few things you can do to get you started:
- use the Neighbours Directory to find neighbours on your street.
- introduce yourself on Neighbourly to those living in your neighbourhood. Just a few words about yourself and what brought you here.
- Give something away or sell something! A Neighbourly exchange gives you a chance to meet someone new.
- just head out the door and knock on someone else's!

Remember 86% of Kiwis want to get to know their neighbours better, but just don't see them around much (71%). Take the first step!
