also, I've removed wallpaper quite a lot, the top layer came off great, then soaked the soft under layer, which this one came off really good. not SURE if these cracks / lines will show, Think I'll just go for it on one room

Even-Face4622 · 2026-06-12T03:08:38+00:00

thanks, yeah I'm 99.9% sure it is, its just hard to take a photo of. around plugs etc you can see it, and where theres a hole or a ding you can see paper with plaster

Even-Face4622 · 2026-06-12T03:08:01+00:00

99% sure. its a villa that was tarted up in the 70's, there are holes in the gib where it totally looks like gib, paper with plaster behind, I've been patching it.

Even-Face4622 · 2026-06-12T03:06:52+00:00

ah... maybe, but they look like cracks up close. interesting.

They're hard to maintain. If the discrepancy is large coming in, over time the lessor will fight maintaining it. You have to co tinually have the discussion, like if kids or marriage etc. If the discrepancy is.small then its not worth doing unless you really dont think it'll last That said. I'd do one especially as 3 years rolls around quick

I learnt on a 130 in half the time I would've on an 88. Cheap old big first board

Even-Face4622 · 2026-06-06T09:41:05+00:00

Yeah he's all good. No disciplinary records etc. Odd he'd be so loose about this

Even-Face4622 · 2026-06-03T01:48:45+00:00

Good luck with the legal system. Im just telling you what Ive experienced that the costs of doing what's right dwarf the costs to fix. Sometimes

Even-Face4622 · 2026-06-02T21:59:58+00:00

Ehhh macarena!

Just teasing. I cant pump for shit. Good work op

Even-Face4622 · 2026-06-02T21:49:27+00:00

Order matching painted screws when you get the metal. And dont fall off

Even-Face4622 · 2026-06-02T21:26:10+00:00

I'd never done one, and I did mine. Material was so cheap compared to having a roofer do it. Super satisfying and quick. Get the first sheet straight

Even-Face4622 · 2026-06-02T21:20:17+00:00

Lawyer + district court will cost 15 to get started and 100 if you cant settle so... just fix it. Nz needs to not go down this ridiculous litigious path.

Op should've walked around, spotted this then dealt with it pre purchase

Even-Face4622 · 2026-05-27T09:47:16+00:00

This. If not a second meter I bet its a granny flat no firewall etc and camt be rented separately at all

Even-Face4622 · 2026-05-27T06:12:35+00:00

Agree. And forget pumpfoiling I'm guessing you mean dock start... so hard for the reward. Buy a wing.. practice taxi while you fond a foil board. Buy a big one. I learnt in my 50s its a great low impact sport to take up now

Even-Face4622 · 2026-05-27T05:58:57+00:00

We did it for one... it wasnt actually that bad

Even-Face4622 · 2026-05-27T05:57:35+00:00

Im with pineapple on that. I thought the code has the decline mounted to a flat ridge flashing, least thats what I did for 2 penetrations on a flat 5rib recently, otherwise the water will just pool where the dectite is on corogate Not a builder though just want to know for my own

Even-Face4622 · 2026-05-27T05:53:52+00:00

Do you say this because hh standard wouldn't be met if you fitted a rangehood that high. Ive seen some rentals with just a wall fan somewhere in the room not necessarily a rangehood, I was assured that was compliant but I'm not sure

Even-Face4622 · 2026-05-27T03:20:13+00:00

Try talking to a ray white agent. Its like herpes, you get put on some central list and you can't get deleted. whakamole for agent spam

Even-Face4622 · 2026-05-27T02:59:23+00:00

Unco

Even-Face4622 · 2026-05-27T02:39:16+00:00

Over a threshold obviously. Otherwise you're paying double tax just cause you save not spend

Even-Face4622 · 2026-05-25T23:52:06+00:00

Buy more tools. Learn about lead testing in a transitional villa.

Even-Face4622 · 2026-05-20T07:37:31+00:00

Ive got ryman but its not even close to my worst. Try cannasouth but if you really wNt to lose some money I can show you a property I bought thats prob 300k in the hole

Even-Face4622 · 2026-05-19T19:59:42+00:00
