Need a good Plumber? We found a GREAT one!

Neighbourly members often post requests looking for good tradespeople.

I have just posted this review on the "No Cowboys" website for a company called Lawson Plumbing in West Auckland, and thought I would share it with my neighbours as well.

"My family have been clients of Lawson Plumbing for many years, after moving into the West Auckland area in 2009.

Mark has been our "go-to" plumber for leaks, pipes, drainage, and a recent hot water cylinder (he was on site less than 60 minutes after the cylinder was discovered to be leaking).

There comes a time when you have such trust in a tradesman, that you don't even bother "getting three quotes" because the peace of mind that this trust brings outweighs the potential for a few extra dollars on a bill (& Marks charges are always very reasonable anyway).

Such is our faith in Mark Lawson Plumbing - we would highly recommend Mark to anyone considering hiring a Plumber".

This unique retro dresser + stool was purchased from an antique store for over $1000.

Reason for sale: We're expecting, so need to make space for the cot, changing table, feeding chair.. and all that 'exciting' stuff.

This is the most practical dressing table ever, seriously not a sales pitch, it really is. My wife is very upset about selling it but unfortunately we need to make space.

The dresser has a HEAP of storage, with 6 drawers and tonnes of shelf space hidden behind the sliding mirror. The other mirror doesn't slide, but it does tilt. The hidden shelves are my wife's favourite feature. She literally stores all her daily needs on these shelves. So handy.

We've bought a new (smaller) dresser and she's already complaining about how the old one was 'so much better', complaining why can't all dressing tables have shelves instead of silly shallow drawers that can't store anything taller than 10cm without having to lie them down (the gripe is real).

Unfortunately we've already made the decision so this has got to go.

Our loss, your gain.

Pick up from Waterview. I can help you carry the dresser out as it's solid wood so fairly heavy. But buyer will need to strong and help carry it out, as my pregnant wife won't be able to assist.

If you need a van/trailer to transport the dresser. I have a van we could use. But would have to add $50 for my time to go with you to ferry the table back to your house.

Drop me a text on 021 364 336.

Slowking pokemon soft toy not included.

Cheers

Stacey Reporter from Stuff

Long-term road safety data from NZTA suggests speed limits on almost 90 per cent of the country's roads are too high and should be lowered.

In 2019 so far, 172 people have been killed on New Zealand's roads, six more than at the same time last year.

Ministry of Transport data for 2016, the most recent available on its website, makes for sobering reading – 328 deaths from 286 fatal road crashes, or 0.9 deaths for every 10,000 vehicles.
