During this past month I have performed many repairs, small building and upgrading jobs in several homes on the North Shore, my area work base. I’m a Sole Charge operation, all discussion and quoting, project management and product purchase, then doing the work myself.
I have a fellow builder mate to help on some of my jobs, between us we have at least 90 years experience, not bad for 2 guys. I’ve been swinging a hammer for over 5o years and Mike 40 years.
I specialise in small jobs, all those little things that should be adjusted, repaired or replaced and you keep putting off, simply because you don’t know how or where to get your maintenance brought up to scratch.


Please realise it’s a way more cost effective to keep up to date with your maintenance than leave it and find that the original problem has now helped wear out something else. Now you have more than one piece to be fixed and subsequently, you guessed it, the job will cost more.
I don’t charge for my first visit, yes, Free. We can discuss your maintenance job be it big or small.
Feel free to contact me.

Speeding

Kurien Thomas from

A common reason drivers speed is the misperception it will substantially reduce the amount of time it takes to arrive at their destination. But this isn’t the case. For example, a driver who needs to get to a destination 40 km away and the speed limit is 70 km/h, then the journey will take 34 … View moreA common reason drivers speed is the misperception it will substantially reduce the amount of time it takes to arrive at their destination. But this isn’t the case. For example, a driver who needs to get to a destination 40 km away and the speed limit is 70 km/h, then the journey will take 34 minutes. If the driver speeds and drives 80 km/h, then they will get to their destination in 30 minutes. But by saving four minutes of their time, drivers speeding at 80 km/h increase their crash risk by at least 60%. Is that worth it?

Is it time to change the approach to speed education by using game theory?

Reducing stigma starts with the words we use, and shifting the way we talk about dementia is a powerful step forward. This World Alzheimer’s Month, Ryman is highlighting the importance of reducing the discrimination caused by stigma surrounding people living with dementia.

Caroline Bartle, Ryman’s Dementia Care and Innovations Lead, says that using appropriate language when referring to people with Alzheimer’s and other types of dementia can foster a more inclusive society. This not only benefits those experiencing cognitive decline but also their families and the wider community.
