Are you saf A
shburton, is a town that likes to take care of its residents, there are so many good causes , trusts and charity events raising money for the young, old and needy. I know the “ toot for tucker” was a huge success this year, more people gave than ever generously. This along with Fetes, car washes, sponsored runs/walks/swims and a wide variety of worthy causes makes Ashburton an extraordinary Jenny Gray and special place to live. Property Brokers It’s such a shame that other parts of Canterbury fall short of the caring attitude – I was reading a story about a man called James Barber from Upper Riccarton. James 77, was recovering in Oxford hospital from spinal surgery when he received a phone call from a neighbour, saying his property was being sold and an agent had been around With a For Sale sign – James was one of the remaining residents from Crossdale Courts retirement complex in upper Riccarton, a property Mr Barber had been given rights to occupy until his death. The residents have been in legal battles for five years after the owner and former policeman Gary Campbell went bankrupt and fled to Australia. Twenty four residents all paid a personal loan from $40,000 to $77,000 for a licence to occupy until death – unfortunately they didn’t get any ownership rights and

the finance company took over and started evicting residents. Some of the residents have died, a few in hospital and some reached an agreement with the finance company. There are just 8 of the original tenants including Mr Barber, a widower and father of 3. Mr Barber was in tears “ I have worked hard all my life, and I have never had much but what am I supposed to do now” He feels “ abandoned by justice” Mortgagee Massolit Ltd filed an application in the high court to sell Mr Barbers unit. Auckland based law firm Carter Kirkland acting for Massolit Ltd had no comment. With no options left, Mr Barber pleaded with the mortgagee “ to show some humanity and honour” . Last year Christchurch City Council were asked to buy the complex, unfortunately the council failed to act despite initially supporting Mr Barbers requests. Mr Barbers lawyer, Dean Palmer, continues to fight and is currently looking into his clients equitable rights.For information see www.atelier.co.nz.

eal time: When the weather is fine take the opportunity to appreciate your hard work and dine outside at your newly built table. IT’S nice to think of having Christmas dinner outside, even though our fickle summer weather can put paid to those plans. In case the sun does shine, here’s how to make an outdoor dining table at which to host your Christmas guests. This kind of table looks smart, without the price tag (I used narrower-gauge timber for the top and then added an edging underneath it to make it look more solid).
Step 1 The table top: Apply a generous amount of glue to the four sleepers and match the grain. Rub the joints together to help achieve a strong bond. Use a couple of sash cramps to help keep joints tight while the glue sets. Now the glue has set, use a square to square up both ends.
Skill saw Tape measure, pencil Builder’s square Sash cramps Hand plane Hand router Screw gun Socket set or adjustable crescent 5mm,9mm& 12mm drill bits Hammer and chisel Step 2
Step 4
Step 5
Under-top edging: Set the skillsaw blade to cut through the 50mm thickness of timber. Set up your saw guide and cut 50mm strips x2 for the length of the table, and x2 for the end pieces. Pre-drill evenly spaced 5mm holes then run a bead of glue along the lengths. Rub joints flush with the outside edges of the table and countersink down using 75mm screws.
Rails: Sit the legs in each corner on the inside of the under-top edging, making sure the checked out piece is facing inward. Cut a length of 200x50mm in half, then measure and cut to fit between the legs for the sides and end pieces.
Corner blocks: Corner blocks are fitted, glued and screwed for bracing and strength, using the off-cut pieces of 100x50mm rail. Measure and cut each block so each end sits an equal distance along the side. Drill 12mm holes in the centre of the block at its top and bottom, and in line with the checked out leg. Pre-drill a 9mm hole to take the coach screws, then insert them.
Step 3 The legs: Set the skillsaw to cut as deep as the blade allows. Set the guide to cut in 100mm. Cut through the legs so they measure 100x100mm. Using a square, measure 690mm down, mark and cut. From the top corner measure down 90mm. Using a hammer and chisel check out the top corner to make a flat surface for the coach screws. To add detail, either use a router or plane off the sharp edges.
Pre-drill evenly spaced holes on the inside of the rail using a 5mm drill bit on an angle. Plane off the sharp edges or use a router. Glue and fix the rails to the top using 75mm screws.
Step 5
Step 6
Step 2
Step 3
Step 4
Turn the table upright and either plane off the sharp edges or run a router around the top edging to create a detail. You can sand, stain or varnish your table to enhance the natural timber, and to suit its surroundings.

t would have been very disappointing to have finished the build to find nothing fitted.
This may be because the furniture was bought for a previous home; an odd placement of windows or the shape of the room.
Many of us have large pieces of furniture we may find hard to place in our rooms.
I have mentioned in previous columns that it is good idea when you are in the market for new furniture to buy the larger pieces or those more expensive items first to work with your rooms. But what if you already have those large pieces and you’re looking at buying a new home, building or revamping? You may have a few large treasured pieces that you don’t intend to part with, therefore you will need to think carefully about where you want them placed.

With more homes having breakfast bars opening to dining rooms, sometimes the placement of the dining table becomes a problem. You need a lot of room around a dining table to accommodate chairs comfortably and, if it backs on to a breakfast bar, it can cut down the space you have to move your chair or stool out. If you’re building or considering a kitchen renovation and if you’re not sure whether your furniture will fit, make cardboard cutouts and place them on your plans.

Removing the wall lights isn’t a problem if there is other lighting in the room, but if it means relocating switches and not having anywhere for them to go, that is a problem.

Why pay when you can By Shane Woods A good plumbing system is worth maintaining, and often high on the checklist of any potential buyer. Simple plumbing problems can often easily be handled by the homeowner. So if you are tired of hearing your leaky tap dripping, chances are all it needs is a new washer, and it can be a simple repair job. Regulations covering what plumbing the do-it-yourselfer can and cannot do have been eased in the past few years, but it is worth remembering that plumbing is a specialized field. There is a huge range of taps, mixers and fittings on the market which make it difficult even for the professionals to keep up. Even the humble tap washer has undergone a revolution, with ceramic washers and many proprietary systems taking over. So before deciding to undertake a plumbing repair yourself, think carefully. You may find you will save yourself time, money and a lot of grief by calling a professional. Leaking taps should be dealt with quickly as, over time, the tap can be irreparably damaged. Many homes will still have the old-fashioned taps with a rubber washer, which eventually wears out. Other will dry out, get hard and crack or break. Just the wear and tear of turning taps on and off can damage the washer until it can no longer work. When choosing taps for your home it is also a good idea to check if parts can be easily purchased. A replacement part for some taps on the market is often more expensive than the entire tap system itself. Replacing a tap washer is a fairly simple task and only takes a few minutes, even if you have no plumbing experience. You will first need to turn off the water supply. If you are changing a hot water tap, you may choose to shut off the water at the pipe that leads out of the hot water heater. Once the water is off, turn on the tap to relieve the pressure in the pipe. Indoor taps usually have a cover that needs to be removed, outdoor taps don’t. The cover may be formed by the handle, or the handle may be separate. Depending on the design of the tap, you may also need to remove the handle.

n fix it yourself? together. Then turn the tap off, turn the water back on and check your work. If your tap continues to leak after replacing the washer, it will need reseating. If left too long, the leak can wear a channel in the seat of the tap and instead of a simple washer, you will need to reseat it. Reseating resurfaces your tap, so that the washer has the tightest seal. The simplest way to do this is to purchase a reseating kit which comes with all of the washers and seals you will need. However, regular maintenance of taps should prevent the need for reseating. It is also a good idea to make sure you have IDs in place on your taps as a safety precaution. And remember to turn on taps which don’t get used often like the cistern and washing machine taps, to prevent them from seizing up.
There is usually a small screw on the top of the handle, usually under a plastic cap which should lift off, or under a steel cap which unscrews. For cross-handled taps you will also need to remove the cover. The cover should unscrew, anticlockwise, to reveal the inside of the tap. You should be able to unscrew the cover by hand by gripping it tightly and turning, but you may need to use groove joint pump pliers with a thick rag in the jaws to prevent the cover from being damaged. The tap mechanism can then be unscrewed from the body with an adjustable wrench. This will reveal the washer, which is held on by a small nut. Replacing the washer is a matter of simply removing the nut and washer and fitting the new one. Make sure everything is free of grit or dirt, including the body of the tap where the washer will be in contact, before reassembling. When fitting the mechanism back into the body of the tap, ensure the tap is in the open position and operates freely when the tap is tightened

How green is your backyard? By Maureen Gilmer
L
AWN LOVE: Lots of activity on a lawn can compact it, causing it to dry out. THERE’S nothing like a big lawn when there are kids in the house. This quintessential backyard play space gets a lot of use during summer. Grow it organic and you can enjoy a safe, chemicalfree carpet for everyone. But all this use results in problems that don’t show up until the dog days of summer. Activity results in soil compaction. When it’s dense and claylike, because of foot traffic, bikes, Frisbee-tossing, you name it, the ground under a lawn can become rock-hard. When compacted soil dries out, it becomes very slow to reabsorb moisture. This ground is not only tough for roots to penetrate, it takes forever, it seems, to get it adequately saturated again. Most sprinkler systems deliver too much water for that slower absorption rate, so run-off inevitably results. Every litre of sprinkler run-off is a litre of drinking water lost, and a litre you pay for but don’t use. Turf grass needs more water during summer’s heat, but if it can’t penetrate compacted ground, little to no water is absorbed. As your grass becomes more dehydrated,
it takes on a bluish cast, followed by withering and brownout. When these signs show up, you’ll know your lawn needs a spa day. You can’t till the soil of a lawn as you would beds or a vegetable plot. Instead, aerate your lawn to reinvigorate it. This practice perforates the soil with special tools so water and fertiliser can flow down to where the roots are. An aerating machine can be rented to rejuvenate your lawn. The aerator uses special tubular punches to extract plugs about the size of your thumb. Blades are spaced evenly on the machine, so you can run it over the entire lawn for uniform coverage. Afterwards, rake up the plugs, compost them or use them to start a new lawn. Once your lawn is thoroughly aerated, it’s ready for mulching. This is key to organic lawn-keeping, and helps turf-grass plants grow better naturally.
Organic fertilisers can also lodge here as well. Humus helps keep the holes open much longer, so your immediate efforts take full effect. When that moist fertile material lies within reach of the roots, turf grass enjoys better health overall and resistance to pests and diseases. Once you’ve raked in the humus, add a final layer of fine cow manure to the lawn surface and lightly rake it to help the particles filter down around the root crowns of the grass plants. Here it functions just the same way mulch protects the root zone of vege plants. This humus also helps reduce thatch accumulations by putting microbes that consume dead organic matter in direct contact with thatch. This helps it to decompose naturally so you don’t have to remove it.
Using bagged compost or composted cow manure, spread a layer over the entire lawn. Then rake it vigorously to force it down into the holes.
Your final step is to feed the lawn. Consult a nursery to find the best product for you. Many newer organic brands offer easy and safeto-use turf formulas. Although many people are replacing their lawns with other landscaping amenities, families still depend on their turf grass for kids and pets.
When there’s humus in an aerator hole, it absorbs water flowing through, retaining it in the root zone for the heat of the afternoon.
The best way to make yours greener is to open the soil, insert humus and feed organically, so you’ll enjoy beautiful results year-round.
