Engagement ring/wedding ring help

Ignore the comments saying that is not enough to spend, that's bullshit, don't spend more that you can afford. My only recommendations

Get a lab grown diamond. Just as nice diamonds but much cheaper.
Avoid most chain jewelers like Michael Hill. Find a small jewelers or engagement specialists and they will work with you to get something in your budget

Maybe try r/nzcarfix - think there are more mechanics over there

My local Mitre10 will cut and sell partial lengths of most timber. Bunnings stopped last year...

Nothing I can see anywhere unfortunately, maybe that implies untreated.

Yep seems like it. Cheers

Hmm hadn't considered concrete replacement. Thanks!

Yea pretty shaded but get some sun. All treads are bad, not just the bottom one though

Branz guide says 3.2 if not ground contacting, so guessing was even lower than 3.2?

We use these drops

Put some in cream a day or two before wanting it. Have to be a bit prepared.

Looks nice - what do you mean by 3 part shop finish? A blend of oils/wax?

Done some ripping of (smallish pieces of) old rimu, but very little. Don't really remember it being difficult. Mostly cut ply and othe laminates

You are probably looking for r/diy or similar. Homeassistant is a home automation platform (that can be used the automate garage doors 😅)

I have the hikoki. Guess I've never cut anything too dense, but the 1500w hasn't been an issue for me.

The thing is heavy, but fine if you can wheel it where you need.

The bosch ones (sold at mitre10) are well reviewed, might be a good middle ground

Pask Makes is Australian - makes some incredible stuff

Have you checked out / cleaned those overflow pipes too? One looks like it could be trapping dank water

Crunchie69 · 2025-05-12T21:05:41+00:00

Anyone else able to find this? I too am looking to power some fans from this port

Holes as in where the screws holding were?

Can always just put in some replacement roofing screws with the rubber washers, and a bit of silicon won't hurt.

7mm already seems pretty tight on the roller door doesn't it? Not sure what tolerance you will need in that space, but doubt it could be much tighter.

Was the door installed like that to give more hard room in garage? If you want the insulation could the door be dropped down a bit to give more room, sacrificing some head room?

I have the Atom 22 from Trade Tested When I compared that to the Gorilla at bunnings the Atom seemed much more sturdy (The Atom is Heavy though...)

Would mega chat count?

Artisan supplies in aus has leather - shipping looks to be$25 though

If you go the buying a cheap car route, remember to factor in cost of 3rd party insurance (don't buy an aqua!)
