The Great Community Clean Up is all about taking ownership of the places we live and love - our neighbourhoods.

Plus, register an event between 27 April and 3 May you could WIN great prizes.
So grab your flatmates, your kids, your neighbour or your whole street and head to a place that you love in your community and make a difference. Your contributions will help make your community a cleaner and happier place to live! #CleanUpNZ

I have bought a stairlift second hand for my home and was wondering if anyone out there has any recommendations in finding an electrician who could alter it and install it?
I assumed (and one never should....I know !) that it would be a given that anyone company could but I've had no luck finding one.....
So I'm hoping someone might of come across a likely candidate?
Fingers crossed. Cheers. Jana
See our 5 top tips for cutting down your autumn power bill:
1. If you’re not using it, switch it off: If you’re not using an appliance, such as a heated towel, dryer, or TV, switch it off at the wall so it doesn’t use power on standby.
2. Change your cooking habits: Eat fresh veges … View moreSee our 5 top tips for cutting down your autumn power bill:
1. If you’re not using it, switch it off: If you’re not using an appliance, such as a heated towel, dryer, or TV, switch it off at the wall so it doesn’t use power on standby.
2. Change your cooking habits: Eat fresh veges instead of cooking. Using the oven for an hour a night can add $20 to your monthly power bill.
3. Use curtains to trap heat in: Let the sun heat your home during the day then close your curtains to stop the warmth escaping in the evening.
4. If you’re away, turn the hot water cylinder off: You can save up to $36 on your power bill if you switch your hot water cylinder off while away on weekends.
5. Make the most out of your FREE Hour of Power: Utilise power deals like Electric Kiwi’s free Hour of Power, which gives you one off peak hour of free power a day. Use this hour to heat your home, turn on the dishwasher, or run the washing machine and dryer.

Have a heart of gold and support the St John Annual Appeal 3-9 April.
The heart is the essence of life and has inherently warm and caring connotations. It also reflects the good that St John does in the community, and invites those who contribute to feel like they too have a heart of gold.

Moving from the norm of a single pane of glass I put a raised panel in the lower section of the doors. Made from solid Western Red Cedar these doors will stand out if you decide to oil them. Currently rebated for single glazing I can rebate them for double glazing for a small extra cost. For the lock, I can rebate out for a mortise lock for a few dollars also.
The second picture is not these doors but what Cedar looks like when oiled with a small amount of pigment to protect them.
I have not done the above so you can have options available along with painting if you need to.
Doors are 1805mm by 2040mm.
Frame is 1880mm by 2150mm (approx)
Doors are Western Red Cedar
Frame is H3.1 fingerjointed pine.
Professionally made these doors are very well priced at $1450 a lot less than from a retail outlet. I am able to make more if the size is not what you want.
My next project is going to be a radical new design. Keep your eyes out!
I also do bi-fold doors and windows, sash windows, bespoke windows, custom joinery, lattice work or anything using timber.
