Your local Chch Handyman!
Hey neighbours! It's been a while since I posted. I've been flat out here at Master Mult-Tasker. So grateful for all my clients for their support and word-of-mouth recommendations.
I thought I'd jump on and quickly share one of the creative jobs I did recently.
I really love jobs that present a challenge - an opportunity to to think outside the box and work with my clients on custom solutions to meet their needs.
Here's a custom bunny fence I made - loads of fun to put together, and stoked with the result!
If you've got a job (or several) you need a hand with, please send me a message or give me a call on 027 408 6199 - there's not a lot I can't do!

Cyclists forced to use ‘more dangerous’ crossing if cycleway closed
Closing a Christchurch cycleway to avoid an unsafe rail crossing will lead cyclists across an even “more dangerous” crossing, cycling advocates say.
Transport Minister Simeon Brown has weighed in on the issue, calling the move to shut a 1.5km section of the Heathcote Expressway for up to two years, “illogical”. He has asked KiwiRail to explain.
KiwiRail is demanding Christchurch City Council close part of the expressway until $6.5 million worth of safety improvements can be made to the Scruttons Rd rail crossing.
It said the “unsafe” crossing posed the risk of death or serious injury once every thousand years.
