Looking for a handy person
Are you good at finding solutions? A retired builder or handy person?
We are in Onekawa and looking for a handy person to help my elderly parents with a small job.
They have found a leak that has rotted the floor boards (under the carpet - 1m x 30cm) in one room. We have found the small extension 10+ years ago was not done correctly and a board was laid directly onto soil - causing the rot over time.
Any advice or assistance would be much appreciated.
Please Private message for details and to make a time to pop in. Happy to pay for your time if it can save my dad from further injury to his back, thank you.
Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
