MENZSHED, Hastings Inc.
Hi neighbours. We're still on the move, but we're still in fixing/fundraising mode. I've said it before, but if it's broken.... or stopped working, and you've been told you need a new one...... let our qualified retired tradesmen have a look at it first. You might not need to spend big bucks on that shiny replacement they want to sell you! Don't forget: We have a woodwork shop, a metalwork shop, and an electrical repair workshop, and our rates are 'donations'. Contact/txt me, Ric (Chairman) on 0212140624 or email: chairman@menzshedhastings.co.nz
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.

Cleaning a heat pump
Hi everyone. Can anyone recommend a reliable and reasonable company to clean our heat pump. We used it on cold for a couple of days and when turning it back to warm it has a smell. We get it serviced yearly but the firm we use is expensive.
