Merry Christmas to our valued clients.
We hope the season brings you lots of love, family time and happiness.

For many of us its a welcome end to 2020.
Its been a tough year for many and we are acutely aware many families are not able to be together this holiday season. Luckily for us all our children will be with us for our camping trip Jan 4th, including Patrick's 2 from Tauranga and even our 171/2 year old will grace us with her presents. We also have a few extras with some friends and boyfriend tagging along for a family holiday. We suspect it may be more chaos than relaxing as the parents but know with teenagers we are incredibly spoilt they actually want to spend time with us.

Patrick is available for all urgent jobs over the holiday season....all power, heating, ovens, hot water etc.
Non stat days right thru he is working so happy to do any jobs.

In the week we are away from Jan 4th still ring us for urgent jobs we have back up organized.

Merry Christmas
Stay safe every one
Patrick, Shannon and family

check if your rangehood and bathroom extractor fan are properly vented

Karen from Casebrook

The bathroom fan also just vents into the roof space. So if you are able to access your roof space, it might be worth checking. Makes me wonder how many issues with mould and damp in New Zealand homes are caused by this kind of thing. Take care and Merry Christmas!

Hey Christchurch drivers,

One 270-metre stretch of bus lane in the Garden City cost drivers more than half a million dollars in fines in just 12 months.

Nearly 6000 fines worth a total of $740,250 have been dished out for driving or parking in the city's bus lanes since the end of November last year, with just one bus lane responsible for well over half of that.

The stretch between Mona Vale and Deans Ave on Riccarton Rd, which opened in late 2018, has proven a major money-maker for the Christchurch City Council, netting the authority more than $560,000 in just 12 months. A total of 3828 fines were issued to drivers caught in the lane – an average of 319 a month.

Have you copped a bus lane fine before? What for, and where?
