Wanted: Certified builder to build a 3 bedroom home.

Louise from Nelson South

I don’t know much about building other than you will need to be certified in order to build a house and I don’t seem to be able to find one willing to build a tiny house.
Most likely $3000 a meter so about 80sqm leaving some for levelling and a retaining wall if needed. The section I am looking… View more
I don’t know much about building other than you will need to be certified in order to build a house and I don’t seem to be able to find one willing to build a tiny house.
Most likely $3000 a meter so about 80sqm leaving some for levelling and a retaining wall if needed. The section I am looking at is 82b Coster street at $279000 because it is steep so building is more expensive. If I can build a 3 bedroom tiny house then I will have about $300 000 left for the entire build all inclusive. Can it be done?
Please text Louise 0276025945 or email louisemarychaney1@gmail.com

Next Crop Swap is on this Sunday 4th Feb at Waimarama Community Gardens, starting at 10.30 sharp.
We are part of the national organisation. Crop Swaps take place all around NZ, first started in Taranaki 14 years ago and still going strong. For the purpose of swapping harvests from our gardens. If you have too many zucchinis or citrus fruit bring them along and take home other beautiful produce, maybe fresh fruit or vegs or preserves or plants and seedlings. Always something good to choose from.

Also a social event to catch up with friends and like-minded people. We want more people to benefit so bring your friends, neighbours and kids along too.

WANTED: Clothes stand/large

Louise from Nelson South

Wanted to buy with cash a tall/large clothes stand to put in my room, to hang some extra clothes on that don’t fit in my wardrobe.
It needs to be tall enough for long dresses and winter jackets.
It doesn’t need to be super strong because it won’t have lots of heavy clothes on it, just some.

Wanted to buy with cash a tall/large clothes stand to put in my room, to hang some extra clothes on that don’t fit in my wardrobe.
It needs to be tall enough for long dresses and winter jackets.
It doesn’t need to be super strong because it won’t have lots of heavy clothes on it, just some.
Ideally I would like to view it before I buy, but if you can describe it to me over the phone, then that would be good enough.
The warehouse has new ones for $48 approximately.
Cell 0276025945 preferably or louisemarychaney1@gmail.com I haven’t figured out yet how to receive messages on the Neighbourly app so I give my cell and email.

Nelson dog owners who forget their bags could find themselves in a sticky situation, as the city council considers ditching free doggy-do bag dispensers.
But, while the dispensers could be a thing of the past, dog owners could still end up with free bags, with the council considering issuing owners a “quota” when registration fees are paid. What's your view - should owners BYO bags, or should the council keep dispensers?
