Go on ....... Declutter Your Garage In 10 Easy Steps!
We come across garages of all shapes and sizes but the common theme amongst them all is they are a well over used storage area that often becomes a dumping ground.
Here's our ten step programme to help you declutter your garage and make it a more useable space:
Ingredients:
Rubbish Bags
Marker Pen
Drink (alcoholic if its after 12pm and you're not driving to the dump!) Snacks (unhealthier the better, you're going to burn loads of calories)
Radio or stereo with some great tunes
Trailer or skip (optional)
Storage containers
Broom
Mates (optional but highly recommended to help you)
Steps:
1) Choose a fine day with no rain forecast (almost impossible in Auckland right?!)
2) Move everything out of the garage and create piles outside with signs (ie Dump, Charity, Mum and Dad's house etc)
3) Ring your kids and tell them they have 2 hours to collect all the stuff you've been storing at your place since they left home!
4) Be ruthless and throw out as you go. If you haven't used it in the last 12 months you aren't going to. Don't kid yourself, you're not going to start cleaning your car now if you haven't done it in over a year! (Your poor car, but at least there will be room for her in the garage now)
5) The items that are staying, group together (ie sports gear, automotive gear, gardening tools, pet supplies)
6) Use your storage containers if and where possible. Label them clearly so you can see at a glance where things are located. Cupboards are great as well.
7) Sweep out or vaccum if you already have garage carpet. If you don't, call us while your garage is empty and we will carpet it for you within the day! If you tell us you saw our "De-clutter" post we will give you a 10% discount :-)
8) Put everything back into the garage in a orderly fashion. Try to keep the theme and put similar things near each other.
9) Sit down on your clean garage floor and give yourself a pat on the back!
10) Send us your before and after photos and be in to win the prize for Best Transformation!

Animal Abuser
🚨 URGENT WARNING TO ALL LOST & FOUND / PET REHOMING PAGES 🚨 and people rehoming pets or reporting lost animals.
It has come to our attention that a long-term, repeat animal abuser is still actively obtaining animals through Facebook groups.
The type of animal does not matter — birds, livestock, dogs, small pets — anything he can access.
He monitors rehoming pages. He approaches people offering “help.” He presents as reasonable. He will say the right things.
Do not give this person any animals under any circumstances.
If you are an admin of a lost & found page, a community group, or a pet rehoming group:
• Please stay vigilant
• Check profiles carefully
• Share this warning across your networks
Animals have already paid the price for people not knowing.
If you are unsure about someone requesting an animal, ask rescue groups to help.

The Reserve Bank has shared some pretty blunt advice: there’s no such thing as a “safe” job anymore 🛟😑
Robots are stepping into repetitive roles in factories, plants and warehouses. AI is taking care of the admin tasks that once filled many mid-level office jobs.
