Goodday folks

Well the recent earthquake shake today left a little mark on us. - dammit!
Our back fence which is wooden clad with stucco (solid plaster) and finished with a "rough" towel finish has been cracked in some places.
Is there any builder/ handyman out there or does anyone know of a suitable person who can repair the damaged area.
We also had a sculpture/ water feature of a lion on the wall which has fallen off in the shake and needs to be mounted back somehow when it is fixed. It has a wooden backing.
Can be viewed during the day if needed.
Can also text a photo of the wall
We live in 46A Norton Park Ave , Fairfield

The first train service on each line is running at reduced speed as a precaution, but this will create further delays.
These delays will continue through peak, so … View moreThat was a pretty big earthquake! We have gotten word from our operators and all trains, ferries and buses are continuing to run.

As we discussed in our May newsletter, borer can get very nasty if it isn't treated. Borer gets right into the framework of your home or building, therefore running the risk of collapse - especially if it's prominently in the roof and walls. If there's signs of rats and/or mice, such as droppings or "nibbles" out of things such as cables, or if you see signs of borer when you go to have a look at your insulation, it's time to act - and fast! If these pests are left in residence, you run the risk not only of building collapse, but also of fire from exposed wiring the pests have feasted upon.
The next 3 posts in this series have some helpful information on how to spot borer, rats and mice, and if you think you have a pest problem make sure you call us on 0800-99-PEST.
