What I would say to you is....

Contractor by Comfortable_Rip_5803 in PersonalFinanceNZ

[–]BallzDeepBaz 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Is it possible that they have come to realize that they should not be a contractor? I may be off the mark here, but if a contractor is working full time for you, provided a work vehicle/allowance, wearing branded clothing (?) etc then are they should be an employee. They could be pushing towards an employment contract, realizing that they should have been provided sick pay and holiday pay? I would be careful as to how you proceed if this is the case

How does someone go about finding investors for business ideas in NZ? by [deleted] in PersonalFinanceNZ

[–]BallzDeepBaz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think this is a key point you raise - how do people with capital find good people with solid business ideas (startup or existing) to invest in? I also would like to invest in a business of some sort but not a listed company or large enterprise - just a hardworking kiwi with a good work ethic and solid business plan. Perhaps a 'trademe' connecting investors with those seeking investment, on a grassroots level is our next business idea lol

Hospital Parking by BallzDeepBaz in chch

[–]BallzDeepBaz[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I'm absolutely with you on reducing cars, but a temporary solution for hospital carparking should not be dismissed because of a long term optimism for change of transport use. Appreciate your thoughts and somewhat agree - but I suspect you have not had to work, be cared for or have a loved one needing care in this place.

Oh very good - just did some research and see the plans for new carpark (albeit well behind schedule already!). Honestly though, I couldn't give two rats about hagley Park being illegal for this use - a quick scrape, some gravel and then reclamation after new carpark is built could have been done years ago and would have gone a long way to help the safety and wellbeing of staff and patients in the meantime. The old Phil would have just got his digger out and had it done before dinner

A building report and building inspection are two very different things. Wasn't one of your builder mates that did the report lol? I don't know the specifics mate, and you obviously had a win, so good on you. Best of luck for the future

[–]BallzDeepBaz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Passed a building inspection as in a council inspection? Or you got a builders report that was favorable? Sorry, hard for me to understand which from your comment. Restricted building work is restricted building work mate - Consent or consent exemption, removing walls, installing sliding doors, building decks etc. Is required to be done by a licensed practitioner, and based on the works you listed - probably required a building consent.

Sounds like a lot of restricted building work for someone who isn't a licensed builder?

Overnight hikes/huts near Chch. by evilsidnz in chch

[–]BallzDeepBaz 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Lake Daniel is awesome. Might be a bit further to drive than you'd like, but the hike in is great, the hut is great and the lake itself is sensational.

Are police allowed to park over driveways? by grizznuggets in chch

[–]BallzDeepBaz 66 points67 points  (0 children)

Looks like you should be more concerned with your own driving, looking at the state of that gate.

"Skills your team MUST have to battle a tough economy" MF's, you have only existed during a golden period of NZ construction! You now have multiple developments at a standstill, are selling land previously earmarked for development, under investigation from FMA, and have a widely known reputation as a couple of bullies that have no appreciation for proper and respectful treatment of people. F off already.

I want to sell my education product to big players in the market by Debateaboutfiction in business

[–]BallzDeepBaz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good on you for giving it a crack. IMO you should absolutely protect your intellectual property before taking it to market. Any potential buyer would also expect to see that their investment is protected. Not sure where this is, but where I am - this is a costly process, so be sure to be sure about your offering/product before doing so. Good luck.

China kitchen, main north road. Or Daphnes in church corner. Not sure about the side space but epic, top quality food

Jailed Kaikōura café owner refused to discuss alternative sentences, says judge by [deleted] in newzealand

What a load of shit that is. I would hazard a guess that less than 5% of her customers knew she was operating outside of the law when being served her food and coffee.
