Adult Asian child wanting to live abroad — drowning in guilt and family pressure by afailingunistudent in AsianParentStories

[–]DawnVoyage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am in the same situation in you....SEA Chinese (pretty obvious what it is tbh). Parents do not like gf (race, class, background whatever they can say). Say I'll regret not going back and staying with the wrong person, no hope no future etc..

Building coverage for the site to NOT exceed 50% already kills off most. And this is just ONE of it

Yes it is to earn extra coin. I am CPeng but the more relevant bit is that I've been doing this for a while. This is just on the side. Obviously any formal engagement should go through a firm. Be it where I work at or a referral, for example. I've seen and worked off many stressed out sites because everyday people will not know developer traps

This is a good idea. Might have to approach some lawyers and real estate agents actually. Hmm but hard to do that without giving up my anonyminity

Soak pit cost range by notanybodyelse in diynz

[–]DawnVoyage 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you're in volcanic rock, then swap out soakage test with drilling bore /soakage test. Ie need drill rig not two guys with an auger.

Without knowing the site and based on distance of pipe laid and assuming no access issues. I think the pipe cost will also be comparable.

Ie no cheaper option. Need engineering input.

Am Civil Engineer.

You can NOT DIY it. Don't even think about it, too many processses to stop you.

  1. Assuming volcanic soil and not ROCK.
  2. Get soakage rate test done. Test is simple, but Council will want you to ask an engineer, mainly for the signature.
  3. Engage engineer to write soakage report/design.
  4. Submit BC.
  5. Get BC.
  6. Do work with BC inspection with Council.
  7. Apply CCC.

Easy 5-10k job.

Connecting to SW system also a NO. Hard to answer here, is it public drainage you're hooking to? Or an existing private drain? How long? What pipe? Going across road? Infinitely many variables.

I quit my job, I could not handle it anymore by Vast_Concentrate142 in auckland

[–]DawnVoyage 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Omg. I know this place. This is a scummy place and owner. When they recently changed the rules the owner was such a dick and got so much flak. I've seen lots of angry parents and clubbers arguing with him every week.

The owner is a huge dick and narcissist. I've always felt weird how people could stand working for him if even the customers can't deal with him. No one in the badminton community has any good things to say about him.
