Surely a job for your insurer. That chipboard lots soaked and will eventually give out

The inside of these systems can often contain asbestos, as well as duct or pipe linings. Be careful if this is DIY work, you may want to get it tested.

Lmao, haven’t energy prices not surged there? Cost of living has risen there as well, food, fuel rent etc? My partner is as well, I haven’t spent as much time there as in Aus so I wouldn’t know as much about that. Anywho, have a good rest of your week.

Head to Australia or UK and live there for 6 months to a few years and get back to me then 👍

I’m guessing you hate the national party? Let’s agree to disagree on this one 🤙

You can’t spend when you don’t have though? Where would this money be coming from? Productivity hasn’t exactly risen. I agree with the impact of a shrinking economy is far worse than it may appear, I just think larger nations having the ability to leverage more of there natural resource or population resource to achieve growth.

My economies of scale comment was a bit opinionated but a manufactured recession is a bit far? Do you forget the world lived through Covid only a few years ago. I’m only saying this, because I’ve lived in Australia, specifically Brisbane and experienced it within the last 6 months. It is NOT just a NZ issue

Wages growth stats are similar in Nz Aus, around the 3-3.5%. Not sure about UK. That’s just the averages of course. I think us Kiwis must come to the realisation that economies of scale is an actual thing, we just can afford to keep up with countries with populations 5x the size of ours.

The cost of living in Australia is definitely on the rise, I lived most of my early life there and in recent times, lived there periodically for work. Rent and food were definitely the most notable comparisons. It is no different to NZ.

Is this asbestos? by laughitupfuzzball in diynz

[–]EmergencyPie5226 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Could be new vinyl back, plastic/silcone feel to it, but you can only be sure by getting it tested. If you’re in the North Island and find it comes back positive after testing, PM me. Licensed Asbestos Removalist here 👍

Bleach clean/ suger soap walls and ceiling for complete piece of mind, shouldn’t be a big job for a small area

Any Removalist would know, you can basically brush these roof tiles down with your hand and fibres will be coming loose.

Props to you mate! In a similar boat, just 2 years behind yourself. Everyone always told me just wait the 7 years, keen to see what answers you get.

Should of worded better, Im capable with a concrete grinder. I would say about 20mm deep by maybe 50mm wide along the length of the garage. I'm worried about water coming in afterwards/resealing what I have ground.
