The queenb team support the Government's decision to protect NZer's safety and well-being by imposing a business lockdown from midnight tonight 11.59pm 25th March, for at least four weeks.

We are closing our offices and warehouse at 4.30pm today. Our showroom and shop have been closed since the announcement on Monday afternoon. We love our staff and customers and have been/are doing everything we can to keep them safe and well!

We have also been working as hard as possible to dispatch as many current orders as we can before we close this afternoon. Couriers are still considered an "essential service" and once the goods are shipped from our warehouse, they will still be delivered to you, even when we are closed. Please note there may be slight delays.

You will have lots of time at home to get your odd jobs done and renovate! Our website is still active to inspire you, and over this time orders can still be placed online at queenb.co.nz however no orders will be dispatched until we get the all clear to re-open.

We are still available via email for any queries you may have, and while there will be a delay in answering, we will do our best to get back to you in a timely manner.

Any existing orders not sent out by COB today will also be dispatched and delivered once the lockdown is finished and we are able to return to work.

We apologise for any inconvenience caused and will be in touch again once we have returned to operation.

The team at queenb wish you all the best over this time. Stay safe and look after each other.

Remember, we are very lucky to still have power, water and internet!

Keep well, keep safe.

DOGs of Leash on Mt Wellington

Hi all

Out for walk yesterday over Mt Wellington. Everyone was keeping a good distance from each other.

But 5 of the 7 dogs I passed were off their leash.

First, there are clear signs that dogs on Mt Wellington should be on a leash. And, at this time it’s just plain dangerous, I’ll explain why.

Here is an expert opinion on pets and Covid, It is possible that a person with COVID-19 could sneeze or otherwise contaminate their pet, and then another individual could touch that animal and contract the disease.
Source: vetmed.illinois.edu...

So people please be responsible and get your dogs on a leash when in public.

A safe walk in a park with good distancing will likely keep many of us fit and sane but let’s keep our distance, and this includes our dogs.

Stay safe

Lots of people offering to help each other on here. That's awesome. Love to see the community banding together and keeping everyone safe.

Lots of incorrect information doing the rounds too, unfortunately.

With this in mind, I have written some simple sanitary behaviour protocols. They have been beneath the eyes of a senior paramedic, a nurse and an emergency physician - they're sound.

They were written for the volunteer group I'm in but the information is good for anybody. You can access them here:

Stay safe, everyone.

A little challenge for my neighbours...

Sarah Neighbourly Lead from Remuera

When I was growing up things were tough for my Mum who had to work as a cleaner to support my brother and I.

When I was growing up things were tough for my Mum who had to work as a cleaner to support my brother and I.

When I decided a couple of years ago to find a cleaner myself, it never felt entirely comfortable for me - but at the same time, I also felt happy I could give someone else a little work. 

I heard today that most of my cleaner's customers have cancelled - or she's cancelled out of respect for the alert level. 

So I guess this is a small challenge for my neighbours...

I know our world is changing very fast right now, but if you can afford to, please consider continuing to pay your loyal cleaner / babysitter / gardener etc. Even if it's just a partial payment as a gesture. 

Obviously they won't be able to carry out your service - but maybe when the world is back to normal your house will end up extra sparkly one day or you'll find a new pot plant on your doorstep.

I appreciate this won't be possible for some but those of you doing this already, thanks for spreading kindness.

I'm not sure what we would have done if Mum's income was cut off when we were little.

And hot tip: good cleaners, babysitters and gardeners are all in hot demand on Neighbourly so looking after them now might mean someone else doesn't pinch them from you in the future - ha!

(Ironically I now regularly drive and walk past the beautiful giant house she used to clean on Remuera Road. I reckon they still have a cleaner 😂).

Be Safe and Stay Healthy

Dovetail Restorations Ltd

Yesterday was definitely one of the wildest days I think anyone of us has experienced.

We worked until 10:00 pm last night to have as much items ready and delivered, and we will do so until level 4 is put into place. We recognise how important it is now for you to have your dining set or bed frame or cabinet at this time, as it would not be comfortable without these in daily life. It would be unacceptable for us not to return these to you at this time. We’re grateful for our government for making this call, and in assisting us to make sure our people are paid and looked after. Our team is truly a family, and we assure you, we are doing everything in our power to retain our staff.

Although our workshop will be closed until it is safe to open, FRET NOT—we understand that now that ALL your time will be spent at home, that accidents will happen: chairs will be broken, kids will ‘accidentally’ draw or paint on tables. We will still be making assessments via email. Provide photos of the damage and we will answer you with the best path forward. We are here, and we are together (just not physically)

ALSO get ready to see some of our misadventures at home and get some insight as to how we lead our lives outside of the workshop. Feel free to share your lockdown projects as well! Take care of yourself and your family.

Kia Kaha, Avi & Dovetail xx
