Home maintenance checklist

BRANZ

Building or renovating a home is an exciting experience. It’s also one of the biggest investments you will make, so you probably want to keep your home in great condition for years to come.

Here are a few questions to consider when looking to build or renovate:
• Do you know which materials used in your home require ongoing care and maintenance?
• Do you know how often and how to maintain these materials?
• Do you know who to contact if anything starts leaking, squeaking or cracking?

Did you know your builder is legally required to provide this information? We’ve made it easy to request your maintenance report. Here’s how. Learn more

Some Choice News!

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!

Poll: Would you participate in local initiatives aimed at stopping plastic from reaching our oceans?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Volunteers will be scouring the foreshore, riverbanks, and islands for rubbish on Saturday the 13th as part of the Clean Up the Hutt event.

This initiative helps stop plastic from reaching our oceans and makes our waterways cleaner and safer for everyone.

We want to know: Should this be rolled out across all coastal cities in Aotearoa? And more importantly… would you get involved? 💚

Want the details? The Post has you covered.
