Hedge Trim

Kim from Sydenham

THANKS!

Thanks you for your offers.
What a lovely neighbourhood!

Chris Wooddin was the first to respond and arrived less than an hour later.

He stayed longer than I asked for, helped me remove the debris to a suitable drying location, and even helped me put a sign on the fence that I had volunteered to put up for the not-for-profit Halswell Drama Group's upcoming show.

Chris went above and beyond and I can highly recommend his services for any handy work you require.

Thanks Chris, Love Kim xxx

Hi All,

Do any of my lovely neighbours have a hedge trimmer, maybe a small chainsaw, and some free time (today, she says hopefully!) to help with my hedge.

I haven’t measured, but it’s probably less that 5 metres across - I have a ladder and extension cords here if that helps. I've done most of the cut back manually on the footpath side, so its mainly the top and this side.
It should take an hour or less, and I'll take care of the clean up.

And would $50 or a dozen RTD’s be appropriate?
Or I am happy to swap for a healing (I am a certified Master Healer).

I’d like to keep it in check for the look, and to prevent loss of light and access on the footpath.

Love Kim xxx

Solve This Riddle or Be Left Scratching Your Head!

Riddler from The Neighbourly Riddler

With pointed fangs, I sit and wait;
with piercing force, I crunch out fate.
I grab victims, proclaiming might,
and physically join with a single bite.
What am I?
