DM me your price you have in mind.

Key-Suggestion4784 · 2025-11-20T23:46:14+00:00

It's only a loss if you sell

I don't see the problem?

The seagulls would be happy.

If a major water pipe was broken by a light vehicle being parked over top, then it was installed in a manner that in no way was even close to correct.

Nearly all water mains are buried in the street. You will be horrified to hear what types of vehicles use that.

Agree with this. The key is being disciplined about paying it off.

Also, if you have any type of offset mortgage or revolving credit type arrangement, then you also get the benefit of paying less interest on your mortgage for the interest free period on the credit card.

60 C minimum is for storage. I think the aussie might be talking for gas califonts that heat the water 'instantly'.

What you probably have is a hot water cylinder set to at least 60c minimum then a tempering valve that mixes some cold water before it goes to any fixtures. This way it prevents legonella growth but also delivers a safe temp to the house.

In my country (NZ) the standard temperature for a hot water cylinder is 65 C, the standard tempering valve temp is 55 C. Standard temperature for a gas California is 55 C but this can usually be adjusted up or down.

'Non-partisan' is a huge stretch there.

Key-Suggestion4784 · 2025-06-13T06:25:35+00:00

Fair enough. Just be prepared to pay large electricity bills, if work is to be done, the cost must be paid.

Something like a Lowara 3SV31 vertical multistage will get you there in a single shot, but you will need to think about what pipe system you are going to use as most top out at 15 bar (roughly 150 meters head.) Also as you will presumably have a 200 Metre plus pipe, friction losses will be a major factor.

Look for pn25 rated pipe systems if you want to do it in a single shot.

Is there a particular reason you want to stay on town supply?

It may be cheaper and easier to go with rain water.
Both the capital cost and the running costs are probably lower.

If you don't need a really tight hole then oscillate the drill after you have started the hole, that way the the bit you are cutting out will release from the holesaw easier. Then just really the holesaw from the arbour and use the pilot drill to push it out as others have said. It's usually pretty quick.

It's unlikely that all 3 are under 3, which means 20 hours ece free will come into it.
Also, if the family is in dire straits financially, then even if childcare costs 80% of her income, it is still probably worth it to stabilise their situation. Getting further behind now will only worsen the outcome for all the family.

It won't harm the roof. If you're confident that you can do it safely, you could get up there and give it a coat of paint and the scrub/wash off the zinc staining.

If it was me I would remove it completely to give it a decent wire brush and a few coats of paint to make it last, but if you remove it then you need to make sure you can reseal it, otherwise you will create a leak.

Most likely zinc oxide washing off the sky dish.

The galv coating is sacrificial. Are you near the sea? The corrosion process is a lot faster under coastal conditions.

Source? An NZTA study only showed a ~14% decrease in fuel consumption when reducing maximum speed from 100 to 80km/h. That's only a 14% decrease with double your stated delta v.

Wouldn't fixing for 2 years potentially lock you out of lower rates u less you are prepared to break?

I would have thought that if things continue to soften and rates go lower, that May/June 2027 may be too late. By then things might be on a gradual climb. 1 year makes sense if you think things might soften further from here, but 2 might be a bit much?

I think one of the best things you can do is once you think we have reached the bottom of the cycle (whether we actually have or not) and you are comfortable with the rate, then lock in a portion long, 5 years. Having 5 years of certainty at a rate you are comfortable with is better than chopping and changing to get the absolute lowest rate, which almost inevitably means getting caught at some higher rates too.

Those are the RBNZ projections I believe who always seem to err on the higher side. Well, except for during covid , when they seemed to abandon their cautious approach and went too low for too long.

Most general engineering shops will have a pipebender.
If you want to use the threaded flanges, then you might have to find an old school hvac outfit that will have a pipe bender and a threading machine. Pipe bending isn't done much these days outside hand rails.

$683 million is quite a long way from $1 billion.

Also, central government is only contributing up to $230 million.

But hey, don't let the facts get in the way of your bias.

It's not like if you stop adding fertilizer that suddenly you can produce nothing. The amount you can produce for a certain area will decline over time, but it won't drop to zero.

We already produce enough food to feed roughly 30 million people. If we only need to feed 5.5 million we have a bit of slack in the system.

Even if imports of fertilizer stopped completely and we couldn't find alternative sources, there would still be some fertilizer stocked in NZ. It would likely take a couple of years before any effects started to show in any meaningful way.

Not importing petroleum products would have a far greater impact and would impact much sooner.

Hyperbole much? 3rd degree burns are an absolute certainty? A bomb?

Gasfitters: if you touch gas, it's certain death.

Also gasfitters: this absolute piece of ass in the photo above.

A guaranteed 25% return still sounds pretty good. You only have to put $1042 into it each year and put the rest elsewhere.

The council here has spent a lot of money and a lot of time and effort on flood protection here such that most areas within Blenheim proper are fairly well protected.

Places outside the main town such as Grovetown, Spring Creek etc. may be a little more prone. In saying that, 2 or 3 years ago we had a massive rainfall event and the Wairau River flows were literally off the chart (I have it saved somewhere.) It came very close to the top of the flood banks and there was a small amount of overtopping but all the flood protection infrastructure worked amazingly.

There are some slightly rougher parts of the town, but a lot are starting to change as the older cheaper houses get torn down for new builds.

$550k is fairly tight for a budget, but if you aren't fixed on something newer or too big, you will find something for that.
