Water spots/staining on shower glass
From the photo's you can see this shower was markedly damaged by water staining. After 4 hours of machine buffing and treatment, we made a big improvement but parts of the glass were beyond repair and ultimately the shower needs to be replaced.
To replace & install a new shower, rough cost $3,000, includes all costs. If the shower was ClearShield glass protected when new, cost < 10% of this cost, so a very wise investment.
Along with this, your cleaning frequency reduces by 50% and when you do clean, save upto 85% of your time and materials to maintain glass clarity for a minimum of 10 years. Personally my weekly shower clean is 5 minutes/week with an annual materials cost of $25, you can't get better than that.
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
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.

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?
