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: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.

This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Do you think this ban is reasonable?
