Painter

Christine and Bill from Ohauiti

We need some interior painting done sooner rather than later. We moved into our new home from Auck mid December. I was diagnosed with cancer just before we moved so everything down here regarding the house has been put on hold. I am now through treatment and really would love these jobs done so we can order curtains and put up pictures/paintings and make this house our home.
The first job is repainting the wall behind our bed (I have spare paint and also details of paint used) where the previous owners bedhead has marked the wall. Also on same wall there is a hole where a bedside table has made a hole in the all - probably when we moved in.
The 2nd job is the 2nd bedroom - to sort out picture hook holes on a wall - 3 holes where we only want one picture hook and a corner of same room where paint and plaster has been knocked off.
We want someone who is a neat and tidy worker who is also reliable and competent.
It would be lovely to be able to move on and finally make this house our home. Our friends are starting to notice!!!!!

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
