The partner of a builder killed while inspecting wiring under his house says he told her minutes before his death that he did not plan on touching anything.

Authorities are urging home handymen to call in experts, rather than attempting DIY work, after yesterday's death of a man, 42, working under his house.

It is not yet clear how a man died while working under his house in the west Auckland suburb of Avondale.

Some of my first "dining out" experiences involved a group of us, in our teens, going to Chinese restaurants where we enjoyed the novelty of a non-European cuisine.

Ben of Avondale would love to book Mondo's three-night Athens city break, which appears to also take in the Colosseum in Rome.

The man whose body was found in a carpark next to a suburban Auckland police station died of natural causes, police say.
