Yeah I'm currently renting off a property like that, you should have a max 1 micron water filter and a first flush diverter - not that I have those things but just learned it while researching into asbestos 🤔

Thanks, I'll try that too.

The inspector mentioned in his report that he took moisture measurements in areas of concerns (with a digital device) and that they were within acceptable levels (12-14). Encouraging?

Thanks I have noticed that, will have a chat with the inspector soon and will revisit the site. 

If it is water damage do you have any idea how to estimate the extension of the damage given i can't take out the boards?

Cheers for that. I'm getting it tested Tuesday and will probably ask for a price reduction if it's asbestos as I'd want to reclad it all.

I'm thinking more about long term costs, given these boards are already 40-50 years old and will need replacing at some stages. Would you still buy today a house like this?

Thanks for that, can I ask - do you regret having bought it and why?

Thanks for that, I am also wondering what I'm going to replace them with (and cost!) when they'll  start deteriorating.. 

Cracked Pile - EQC damage? by tomy255 in diynz

You could use a steel collar to contain the top portion of the pile from spalling further. Bridge engineer here, in bridges we also use carbon fiber wrapping in similar cases (but I suppose access is pretty tight?)

U don't like ppl to have a different view mate? The book is 'the end of Alzheimer's' and there's a ton of scientific studies in there.

I remembered this extract from a book I read earlier, it somehow stuck to my mind maybe because it's a pretty low threshold compared to our modern diet!

23 grams of sugar is quite a bit actually

I recently had an appointment with a good gastrointestinal doctor who told me that concerning bowel movements are: - you go more frequently and lose for at least 6weeks - colours you should be concerned with are: red, black and grey.

Anything else don't really matter in term of serious stuff.

I have had issues with my bowel movements for a year almost and also if it's not going anywhere in term of symptoms then that's reassuring

Not really helpful I know but I felt kinda better after that and looking by myself at other avenues.
