I have been doing pet therapy with a man who would love to paint more but cant fit his chair close enough to the desk he has to do it. would need to be 900mm tall and about a meter wide for his chair to fit. I don't have funds to pay for this but even if it was just a loan so he can get back to his amazing paintings it would be so immensely appreciated!

Discovering mould on windows is not uncommon if condensation is a persistent problem. However, by doing some investigative work and following a few simple steps, you can easily clean up the mould, remedy the cause, and prevent it from reoccurring.

Step 1 – Examine the Area
Begin the process of removing mould on windows by identifying every point where it exists. Examine the glass and frames of the windows thoroughly to make sure that you know where every instance of mould occurs. This makes it easier to remove it all at the same time. Do not overlook the inner surface of the window frames; open the windows and check inside thoroughly.

Step 2 – Dry Clean
If, when you come to clean the mould on windows, the panes and frames are dry, begin by putting on a respiratory mask and using a vacuum cleaner to remove any loose spores. Undertake this process when the window is open to allow the particles of mould an......  Keep reading: www.curtainclean.co.nz...

A trip to Mauao is on the must-do list for most visitors to Tauranga, but maintaining the track has carried a $1.35 million cost to ratepayers over the last three years.

While the majority of that figure has been budgeted expenditure from Tauranga City Council, but unbudgeted expenditure is becoming more common, forcing some to question if the walking track can remain free forever.

Do you think a user pays arrangement is needed to ease pressure of ratepayers?

Hi Everyone,
We've got some friends from Paeroa who have to move out of their place within the next two months and are looking to move to the Bay to be closer to work. They're not looking for anything too big, and are not fussed on location but the property will need to be able to accomodate their 8 months old baby, well behaved dog and cat. They're keeping an eye out on trade me but I thought I could post here on their behalf to see if there is anything else available.
Thanks!

Bean Bag

Roseanna from Ohauiti

Great for a flat, kids room or rumpus room.

Sits up like a chair instead of the typical round bean bag.

It has barely been used apart from the cat occasionally sleeping on it. Nothing a lint roller can't fix.

Price: $30
