Does anyone have an old dresser/tallboy/mid sized bookcase they don’t need?

I gave away all the furniture from the workshop and office when I closed the shop (I didn’t have time to sell everything or time or space to bring it all home) and now find I have a lot more shop and office stuff that I need to store in my house. So if anyone has a spare storage unit that would be suitable, could you please let me know.

If you have family who have been feeling cold in their home through winter, help may be at hand to make their home warm, dry, and healthy.

They might be eligible for Warmer Kiwi Homes, a government grant offering 80% - 90% of the cost of ceiling and underfloor insulation, and up to 80% off an energy-efficient heater, like a heat pump.

In August, the eligibility criteria were extended so over 50,000 more homes are eligible for insulation grants. It gets better - there are lots of community organisations offering extra funding to reduce the cost further.

Go to our website to check their eligibility, today.
