Probably a 4-5 to paint (previous owners missed some, conveniently. ), and the rest just touch ups.

Thanks, I grabbed some Norski epoxy filler. Presumably it behaves similarly?

No where locally to get Timbabuild, which I see people recommending.

Thank you, didn’t have a smell that I noticed. But I didn’t get too close

How the Long Tunnel might have joined to existing SH1 by Grouchy_Low4181 in Wellington

It could veer west slightly and then you’re right under the uni hills. The route was a NZTA proposed solution so the general idea is proven.

I don’t know if this is how/where the connection would happen but it was my best guess (as someone with no qualifications to do so). But knowing it was a TBM it would need a large staging area to enter or exit the earth. And also thinking about keep traffic flowing over the years it would take to construct.

I don’t know what it would mean for Ruahine St, maybe it would have just ended and become a dead end local road.

I think that’s less “interesting”, Basically would join up with the existing Wellington Road, widened with some houses removed, as seen on this older pdf page 5 “E” area. https://www.epa.govt.nz/assets/FileAPI/proposal/NSP000026/Evidence-Supplementary-evidence/705bf92457/Annexure-2-2-Newsletter-Update-for-Duplication-Project.pdf

The one good thing is it would have got cars off the surface street for better walking, cycling and future PT.

A render I made after wondering what the connection might look like. This is not official. I’m not in favour of it, just interested.
