Adams Painting ...or sanding?
After spending ages sanding and filling gaps on a garage bargeboard, my son (who works alongside me) suggested I rename my business, "Adam's Sanding" instead of, "Adam's Painting". Usually the success of any job is about adequate preparation. And after all that work, it's always a good feeling to get the paint on a sound, secure surface!

Poll: Have you witnessed shoplifting in your area?
It’s a crime that generates losses of $2.6bn a year, was the catalyst for a notorious murder, claimed the scalp of a high-profile MP - and has prompted the Government to propose beefed up citizens arrest powers - but how bad is shoplifting in New Zealand?
Under the Official Information Act, the Waikato Times asked how many Kiwis were charged - and convicted - for two discrete crimes; shoplifting under $500, and shoplifting over $1000.
Have you witnessed shoplifting in your area? Tell us your reasons in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).
