Bubbles in your house paint?
If you've got bubbles in your house paint, they're an easy fix if we get onto it as soon as they appear.
If you wait till the bubble cracks, inviting moisture into the wood behind the paint you'll soon start growing mold, your timber will start rotting and it's gonna cost ya!
I'm in the middle of a painting job now where the resin is seeping out of the timber knots in the hot weather which has caused this exact problem.
If you book in before Autumn sets in, we can get your painting job sorted before the weather starts getting sour.
Take care of your health, take care of your home.
MISSING CAT
Hey neighbours,
Koco my black cat is missing, from Ilam Road. It's been 11 days now, since 12/11/24. She's definitely not under the house or hiding anywhere and we've done everything we can to bring her home at this stage, but will always appreciate advice or other ideas. Before she went missing she was coming home and eating and cuddling etc every day, morning, night, and throughout. If anyone sees her anywhere we'd really appreciate a message :) Thank you so much!
-She's microchipped, three years old, wearing (could have lost) a red studded collar with my number and her name attached to a red heart name tag.
We really miss her 😢💔

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
