Housing developments
Just got back from evening walk along Milford walkway and was dismayed at a sign advertising 60 leasehold apartments on the beachfront at the end of Tiri Road. Equally bemused was a Tiri Road neighbour who was taking a photo of the signboard at the same time. On my (busy) Sunnybrae Road a single house has been thrown down to be replaced by 3,4,5 or 6 (not sure) dwellings. On the opposite (Northcote) end of Sunnybrae Road 80? apartments are being built. Is this how the housing shortage is going to be solved? I think it is ghastly.

Small building job
Need a little extension on a fence built and the boundary strut on my deck reinforced to support a fence being bolted on anyone know someone who could do this?

NZ Bus services running as normal from today
Hi Aucklanders, NZ Bus services have resumed, following six days of driver suspensions affecting approximately 70,000 trips daily. The suspensions came as bus drivers stopped accepting passenger fares, in a bid for better pay work hours. On Thursday, First Union and Tramways withdrew industrial action after Auckland Council got involved with concerns of the suspension's impact on the city's public transport. However, union members and NZ Bus are yet to come to an agreement.
Were you able to catch your normal bus this morning?
