Thinking of hiring a local contractor to do some renovations on your house? A good rule of thumb is to obtain more than one quote, particularly if you are investing a large sum of money.
- Do you know the difference between a quote or an estimate?
- Will you need to hire multiple contractors?

There can be big differences in the prices – make sure you ask why. If you want a good result, the more you think about upfront the better. Follow our checklists, information, and tools to help you through the process.
Hey neighbours, are you thinking of borrowing money by taking out a loan?

Before you do - there's a few things you really need to know about. Take a minute and read the tips below to ensure you're asking the right questions and getting the best loan for you.
1. Shop around! Interest rates, fees and terms must be made available to you by the lender. Make sure you compare details and make an informed decision about what loan is best for you.
2. Choose a lender. Did you know that when you borrow money to buy something, you don’t have to borrow from the same person who is selling the goods?
3. Understand. Whoever is loaning you the money must ask questions to make sure you can afford the loan. They also need to help you understand the key terms of the loan.
4. Be prepared. You'll need to provide your lender with information to show that you can afford to repay the loan. This might include proof of income and expenses so make sure you have it ready.
Don't get on Auntie's bad side and do your research! You can find more information here.

Wondering if anyone has an old adult wet suit no longer needed that I could use to make a knee support.
I have a very swollen knee post surgery and cannot find a suitable knee support to fit. I have tried wet suit manufacturers in Auckland but that was too expensive.

It’s been a huge effort to get this we need to thank Gary from the Dog Wash on Selwyn Ave he has organised this with Tony Gill they both had spent hours of work voluntary with a few other helpers who donated goods.
Without the Dog Wash the dog park would still have a small shade sail pretending to be a shelter. Tony calls the new shelter a “carport”, yes it does look like one at the moment, until we get some more money for sides. Hopefully we will be able to have sides soon. However we need the fundraise ideas/funds, to be built over summertime and any other improvements. Any Donation could be deposited into; ASB Bank, Account name - Whangarei Public Dog Park. Account number - 123099 0025171 00
We will put up a full list of sponsors and helpers soon; Dog Wash, Hirepool, CoreSteel, Afare Catering, Hawthon Geddes, Gary Jeeves, Tony Gill, Whangarei District Council, Whangarei Public Dog Park Committee and our community.
Thanks for the HUGE team effort. This shows the Whangarei Public Dog Park is so important to the Whangarei Community, some people who have support us don’t own a dog.
THANKS.
Thanks Tony Gill
