The garage door is the single biggest moving object on your property. It weighs 60kg for a single door to 200+kg for a double wooden door. To open the door a torsion spring assists you and takes most of the weight of the door. Two steel cables both sides of the door carry the weight.

If the cables rust the door may fall on a person or vehicle causing severe injury or damage.

I will service your garage doors and replace parts to ensure the safety of your loved ones.

9 January 2025

No New Year Peace and Goodwill for Millions Hope you all had a great Christmas and New Year.

While doing some last minute Christmas shopping in a small Knysna shop I overheard the cashier ask the elderly customer in front of me what he wished for in the coming new year.

“I wish next year will be as good as this year!”

We all smiled and I said how nice to hear a wish like that.

Not everyone is as fortunate of course, something that was brought home to me in a text message from a friend, Linda, who teaches English online.

In her first lesson of the year she asked a Ukrainian student: “What is your New Year’s resolu on?”

“To survive the year,” he replied.

Quite a shock to hear something like that, which brings home how many millions in the world live horrible lives through no fault of their own.

Linda’s student is 27, married, and works in IT. He needs to improve his English because he has interna onal clients.

“He doesn’t live in Kyiv, so it is not as bad as it could be, but they do have air raids and they live knowing they can have a bomb dropped on them any me.”

It is three years since Russian invaded Ukraine and the war shows no sign of ending.

Linda’s message led me online and I found a video made on New Year’s Eve by a Ukrainian man living in Kyiv.

It was bleak. Deserted streets, no fes ve lights or Christmas decora ons, no people celebra ng – in fact no people at all.

The narrator said before the war there had always been a brightly lit Christmas tree on the square, fes ve lights, food courts, fireworks on New Year’s Eve and crowds of celebra ng people.

“Now the streets are empty, every day. There is also no snow.

At least snow can decorate the streets.”

“No fireworks, but there are bombs and missiles, even this night.

Ten to twelve air raid sirens yesterday.”

As he walks with his camera along the streets, he finds a tree that someone had strung with lights.

“It is really cool. At least we have this.”

Fi een minutes before midnight the Ukrainian says: “For us it was a horrible year. Let’s pray next year will bring at least something good for us and let’s hope this war will finally end.”

Just then a piercing air raid siren goes off. You hear a so groan.

Another raid, another trip to the air raid shelters. He finishes his video.

“Happy New Year everybody. Stay safe.”

Ukraine is not alone in war. The Geneva Academy lists all world’s current armed conflicts: 45 in the Middle East and north Africa; 35 in sub-Saharan Africa; 19 in Asia; seven in Europe and six in Mexico and Colombia. Hundreds of millions of people in these countries live in constant fear and have seen family and friends killed.

This is not meant to depress you, but rather to highlight a fundamental that is so easy to forget: how lucky we are to live in a country at peace.

Many South African lives were lost to achieve this peace. We must cherish and defend it.

Have a wonderful 2025!

All kudos and thanks to Marcel and his fine team from B&V Contractors for fixing the collapsed sinkhole at the corner of Long and Union Street.

They managed to finish a three-month contract in a month, unlike the previous inept bunch of incompetents who took six months to do precisely nothing except exacerbate the situa on.

I hope our municipal managers learn something from this.
