Spouting issues???

Nick Jenness from Nick The Builder

Who's having issues with overflowing and block spouting?
I certainly am....or should I say was.
Our current place had a Klass Fascia with an internal gutter system and with all the heavy rain we are having, it would back up and overflow into the soffits and eventually flow into the house.
I've have just upgraded the system with "Marley Typhoon" gutter system. This system has a very large water capacity and the option of externally mounted brackets which make it really easy to clean out the leaves etc. It also comes in a few different colour schemes which is great.
We had the first real test last Thursday and it performed perfectly.
No more sleepless nights when it's raining 👍

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
