Sponsor me for the Blackmores Fun Run

Yes, I am putting myself through considerable torture again, this time for the Blackmores Fun Run, 9ks of pain and heavy breathing for a good cause close to many of us.

I have chosen Prostate Cancer Foundation as my chosen charity to benefit from my efforts.

Please go my fund raising page and make a donation.

Thanks again to everyone who has supported me in the past and thanks in advance for again dipping into your pockets.

The Famous Petrol Station Good Samaritan

The Team at RESULT would like to thank the “Famous Petrol Station Good Samaritan” this week. Bill was kind enough to lend one of our technician’s money for fuel at the petrol station when we had an error on one of our Fuel Cards.

 After refusing our attempts to pay him back, telling RESULT to “Give the money to someone else who needs a blessing. This way the gift always stays working” we have made a cash donation in the amount of the cost of the fuel to the RSPCA.

 We would like to thank Bill at Interclean Australia Pty Ltd for his generosity and kindness, a good deed that will not be easily forgotten.

The importance of using licensed and properly trained Tradespeople

With the increased costs of living these days, plus the recent reinvention of the Home Renovator “reality” shows like The Block and The Renovators there is a surge in property owners undertaking their own repair and maintenance work. For some trades like Plastering, Tiling and Painting it is reasonable to expect that people will “give it a go” themselves. People taking on potentially life risking work like Plumbing and Electrical work and it is a real concern that home renovators could be putting themselves and their houses at risk.

Plumbers and Electricians are highly skilled trades that provide a crucial service for the residential, commercial and industrial sectors. All related work needs to be to the highest standard as plumbing and electrical typically affects public health and safety, specifically the potential for the contamination of drinking water supplies and electrocution.

 Plumbing work can encompass a broad range of tasks including water supply, drainage, sewage, heating, cooling and gas fitting.  Specific elements that are typically fitted by a plumber include water pipes, taps, sinks, baths, showers, hot water systems and elements of a properties drainage and sewage system. Electricians are generally responsible for lights, power and communications in your home.

Common Plumbing and Electrical Problems:

Some of the most common problems around the home are related to plumbing and Electrical issues.  This includes the following commonly encountered situations, which typically require the services of a licensed plumber or electrician:

                  Leaking taps                                 Leaking toilets

                  Faulty hot water systems            Leaking roofing

                  Blocked drains                              Bathroom renovation

                  Gas appliance installation          Phone line

                  Burst Water Pipe                           Ceiling Fans

                  Light replacement                         Appliance installation

                  Security Systems                    

Licensed Plumbers and Electricians:

Only licensed contractors are authorised to carry out plumbing and electrical work and ensure that all the work under their control complies with all the relevant standards and regulations. If you are unsure if your tradie is licensed ask to see some proof of this or contact your local State Authority. Licensed Plumbers and Electricians are required to complete extensive on site experience, attend very intense training courses at TAFE and other training organisations. All work shall comply with the Australian Standard AS3500 and AS3000.

There can be very costly mistakes made and often it costs more to fix up others problems than it would have cost in the first place to get it done by a reputable licensed tradesperson.
