To help get Winter ready keep your drainage flowing properly on your property. Take some time to make sure that drains and gutters are free from debris.
Maintaining your existing drainage solutions and freeing them from any build-up of natural debris (such as grass, weeds, summer growth, fallen leaves and silt) on your property is essential during this time of the year.
If you have any questions or need help with drainage solutions, give us a call. We're a local family business and here to help.
I am seeking some assistance in the home. Unfortunately I am unable to climb ladders or look up to clean ceilings and walls and our ceilings are in need of some TLC. Our bathroom ceiling is peeling and could do with some prep so it can be painted. This help may be just a one off or perhaps a 6… View moreI am seeking some assistance in the home. Unfortunately I am unable to climb ladders or look up to clean ceilings and walls and our ceilings are in need of some TLC. Our bathroom ceiling is peeling and could do with some prep so it can be painted. This help may be just a one off or perhaps a 6 monthly job. Many thanks in advance.
Dear neighbours,
It's taken seven years, but it was worth the wait. Have you tried them?

"A visit to Silverstream yesterday afternoon to see if I could find some kingfishers and I was rewarded by the sight of several of them on powerlines, swooping down to grab tasty morsels, but couldn't get close enough to any of them to get decent shots so these photos are heavily cropped. At one point a kingfisher was sharing his line with a huge group of Starlings! I loved watching the two magpies displaying teamwork when tearing at a clump of grasses! As I walked through St Pats, the sparrows were enjoying a dustbath!"
Thank you, Aotearoa.

Dominion Post photographer Kevin Stent took this picture of moon rising over Palmer Head Fortress, Wellington, prior to a much anticipated blood moon later in the evening.
If you have a photo of the blood moon, please post it.
