Winter heating hacks

Emelyn McHardy Reporter from Franklin County News

Hey Neighbours,
With the warmer weather still a few months away, it can be tempting to blast the heater or stay in the warm shower a little longer.

However, heating can be expensive, which is why Terry Johnson took heating into his own hands with his DIY solar heat collector.

Because of this Johnson and his family were able to heat there home for an estimated $1.50 per year.

Will any Franklin DIY fanatics be attempting this heating life hack?
Or do you have your own tricks for cost-effective heating in the winter?
Let us know in the comments below.

Please put NFP if you don't want your comment to be printed.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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.

Do you think this ban is reasonable?
