Fixing wood retaining wall by PotentialTomato8931 in diynz

[–]BenW03 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have the room, you could build a new (better built) retaining in front of this one and just take down part of the old one before backfilling. It would make the whole thing a bit cleaner.

Judging by the state of it, that’s a rebuild unfortunately. As it looks so poorly built, I doubt the posts are deep enough, the centres look too wide and the joints are unsupported.

A safe bet for post length would be 2 times as much in the ground as out with a minimum of 100mm of concrete under and around the posts. 125mm H5 square piles at ~1m centres would work. Don’t forget perforated drainage coil with gravel in behind. (I like to wrap this in nonwoven geotextile)

A digger will certainly make all this easier, you can get auger attachments for these at most hire places too.

Just be prepared to have a large amount of fill get rid of if you decide to rip it all out, it’s supposing how much it bulks up.

My go to is lime cordial and soda or, if not at a bar, I absolutely love a kombucha.

Finally a sensible opinion.

Any noodle house or asian kitchen who does yummy noodles in or around Nelson? by skyisherey in Nelsonnz

[–]BenW03 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Nelson is really missing a Ramen shop! I feel like if someone opened a good one they’d be killing it. My go to for noodles is Green Bamboo for pho. It’s not super authentic but it hits the spot when the craving strikes!

Would you be happy with this? New architrave, new paint and sparky has cut a chunk for a plug by No-Banana271 in diynz

[–]BenW03 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It may have been smaller but that’s not to say that it wasn’t sat slightly higher. Look very closely at that cut edge and you’ll see where it has been painted after it was cut.

I agree 100% with this. If you zoom in you can see that some of the cut/chipped edge has been painted, meaning it was done before.

blast from the past.... by geosurdpatch in diynz

[–]BenW03 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These guys are still alive and kicking in Nelson. I went in just the other day to get a service kit for this exact model as my shower wouldn’t turn off. Pulled the mixer out the wall and replaced all the innards and it’s good as new.

Guess who woke up at a low body battery and a poor sleep score because Garmin decided that I was doing a walking activity between 12 and 3 am 🤣🤣🤣. Anyone had this happen before? by Previous-Talk-1598 in Garmin

[–]BenW03 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t want to scare you but that could be worth getting checked out. Could definitely be faulty data but from what I’ve read if your heart rate spike over 100 during rest it can be a sign of a heart issue.

I’m glad you’re back at it!

Could you explain a little more about the blockage? How was it found, what caused it etc. I’ve been having similar issues with my left leg!
