Glue and screw flooring
I am seeking advise? I am having new carpet put down however the second story needs the floor glued and screwed and the carpet taken up before the new carpet is laid. So I need someone to glue and screw the floor with references for this task and to take the carpet up I also need a couple of strong careful people to move furniture out for me into the garage then move it back in after the carpet has gone down. There maybe several days between the carpet coming up and going back down. The carpet layers are booked for the 2nd of March so am looking at the moving of the furniture to start with on the week before this probably Wednesday 24th February The removal of the carpet and glueing and screwing taking place on the Thursday 25th Friday 26th February. Do you know anyone who is able to do this work that you would recommend?

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
