CAN YOU HELP? 021 085 24 598
4-6 hrs work there abouts.
Retired? or semi retired? may suit some one who may be able to help, who is community minded and would like to give a hand. will recompense time etc.
Do you have a tractor? and plow? or type of larger Rotary hoe and experience?
We live on a lifestyle block, and since floods, food prices etc, we wish to wisely utilize what we have and, are planning to make a large Vegetable Garden on a piece of land we have at home in the country just out side Feilding, thus need someone with plowing experience for a few hrs work.
( not a hire company ) we need a experienced tractor driver who had proper gear, to help us plow/ build a large vegetable Garden. May take few hrs just to plow? and or a few hrs over a few days, what ever suits, flexible.
Is there any one who can help please, we need some one for a few hrs to plow up a bit of and on our property please. Will pay for the time/ work done, and petrol, use of what ever needed to plow a bit of land.
We are trying to be as self-sufficient as we can, we would be very grateful if their is a skilled retired farmer out there, or some who does this in the community.
Please no time waster, genuine Enquiries only thank you. If you have referrals that to would be appreciated.
Regards

Firstly, we take many measures to ensure your curtains get as clean as possible without shrinkage or colour loss. Recently we have had to re-wash curtains that have been washed but there is still traces of mould or live mould left on the curtain. We take careful steps to ensure this is eliminated as much as possible on the curtain fabric, and can always remove it from linings. These results are simply unable to be duplicated in a home environment.
Spray on curtain cleaning products contain sodium hypochlorite, aka bleach. If you use products to remove mould, it can result in colour loss. This is one of the more common problems we have seen. We test all fabric before cleaning to be sure of what cleaners can be used with it.
Washing curtains in the washing machine can result in other damage – curtains need to be handled with care, especially older fabrics. It is expensive getting a curtain re-lined due to rips – we take extra care in preventing this from happening.
In addition to the above – most of the time, they will come out of the machine wrinkly and look terrible, no matter the fabric type. Our service ensures they look great and ‘like new’ as they can when returned to you (and of course, fresh and clean).
Don’t make the same mistake, call us (the experts) instead.

Garden bench hasn't yet had its annual spruce up - but is sound enough. Could be painted, but doesn't need to be. We can't deliver as our car is too small, but if you can arrange pickup from our Park Road address by Wednesday 22nd, it's yours.

Has anyone noticed that tinned cat food is more expensive than buying a whole actual chicken, per kilo? My cats are fussy and will only eat mid-price tinned cat food, and even that is full of stuff that's not good for them. So I am making my own and they are really happy!

The only things you’ll need are ice cubes, and a vacuum or hairbrush.
1. Place an ice cube on the dent. If the dent is large or long, use extra ice cubes as needed
2. Allow the ice cubes to melt.
3. Once the ice cubes have melted, the carpet will fluff back up.
4. After the area has dried, vacuum over the dents or gently use a hairbrush to further fluff the carpet if needed.
Additional Tips:
Moving furniture a few inches at regular intervals can help prevent carpet dents from becoming severe. Every couple months, scoot the couch or other heavy items a couple inches to one side and fluff up the dents. If this is done, the dent can often be fluffed simply with your fingers; no water necessary.
Scraping a coin over the dent can also work to fluff it up if your fingers alone aren’t getting the pile back up.
Another method of fluffing the carpet is to use a spray mister to slightly wet the dent, then use a hair dryer on warm or cool air (holding it several inches away from the carpet) to dry the area while gently fluffing up the pile with your fingers or a hairbrush.
Another method of fluffing the carpet is to use steam. Hold a clothing or upholstery steamer several inches above the carpet and quickly blast the dent with steam. Let the dent cool, then use your fingers or a hairbrush to fluff it up. However, most carpets are nylon, and nylon can melt easily, so it’s best to test the steam on a small hidden area first, such as in the corner of a closet, to see how the carpet fibres react to the heat. Again, be sure to hold the steamer several inches away from the carpet when applying the steam.
