Kia ora Aotearoa, today is Gumboot Friday! 👢

Daylight Saving Ends 7th April

Exceed - we fix windows & doors

As you prepare to put your clocks back this week end and check your fire alarms, it’s a good idea to check the windows in each room by opening and closing them to see how well the friction stays are working.

One way to check if they are working correctly is to open the window, place a business card at the top of the window between the frame and the sash, and close the window. The card should stay there and be hard to pull out. If the business card falls out, or is easily pulled out the friction stays are worn and you’ll need to call us to replace them. In this condition they can be draughty and leak.
If your windows are in reasonable condition, opening and closing them fully two or three times, twice a year, should avoid the need to call us and lengthen the life of them.
Note- if your windows are really stiff don’t force them or you could break them. If you are careful you can lubricate the pivot points on either side with a spray lube. Anything but the red CRC (5.56) is okay. The red CDC has a cutting compound in it.
If you find any problems give us a call on 0800 25 25 00

Our latest Astronomy Night at Hutt City Libraries is on this Friday!

Lower Hutt War Memorial Library, 2 Queens Drive
Friday 5 April, 6:30pm

Light pollution is a worldwide problem, with the latest research showing impacts on human health & wildlife as well as masking our views of the universe we are part of.
We're in a period of rapid escalation of this issue, as we're changing the colour of light we're using as well as increasing the intensity of light pollution created.

In this talk Lee Mauger of the Martinborough Dark Sky Society will touch on the latest research on the impacts of light pollution and also talk about how the Wairarapa is looking to mitigate these problems through the creation of an International Dark Sky Reserve.

If the weather is clear we'll head outside after the talk and look through telescopes provided by the Wellington Astronomical Society. (Going by the forecast we might be trying out the telescopes indoors!)

Special thanks to the Petone Workingmen's Club who so graciously offered us the use of a room when maintenance issues at the Petone Rugby Club necessitated a sudden venue change.
