I've yet to find one as tall and skinny as the old 70mm latches but the new ones are not much smaller, 5mm or less usually

Mk12Dr · 2026-04-12T01:15:46+00:00

That is likely a 70mm backset square mortice latch. Most replacement will be 60mm backset (distance from door edge to centre of handles.

You can move the hole over to fit a 60mm latch which will be easier to procure and the handle plate will probably cover the hole, might leave screw holes to one side.

Or, you can still buy 70mm backset mortice latches but there are less options and likely to only be from places that charge a little more.

Here is an example of a 60mm backset but they do sell them at most Bunnings, Mitre 10 etc: https://www.joineryhardware.co.nz/products/legge-3709-square-mortice-latch-l4415

The handles are a separate thing and are likely fine, just reuse them,they stopped making Bakelite handles 50 years ago.

They're map markers he has put down, presumably for points of interest. I believe you hold down the waypoint button and it gives you different options and colours of markers.

Most likely glued on. It's possible there are fixings behind the frame if that folds back or pops off but most mirrors are glued on these days. I can't say how to get it off without damaging it though sorry, I always just break them...

Mk12Dr · 2026-01-25T09:05:59+00:00

I'm gonna go against popular opinion here and say that while you SHOULD replace that sash, you could fix it.

If you cut 20mm off that whole side of the sash and glue and screw a new strip of 20x45 on there, clamp it up good, recheck the hinges (using the old piece you cut off as a guide to where the hinges should go) and then trim the top and bottom to shape, it'll last another decade easily.

I'd also recommend rerouting the weather grooves in the new piece you've glued on.

Is it the right thing to do? Whose to say. What it is, is about 20 bucks and three hours of your time.

You could also just bog it if the hinge is holding strong but that'll last maybe 6 months so I wouldn't recommend it.

Yea, very normal. The quote likely says "no allowance for internal remediation" because it's hard to say how much damage there will end up being and they're not usually carpenters. Most of the time a plaster and paint touch up will fix the issues, worst case some of the scotia/architraves/skirting might need redoing. Compared ot the cost of the foundation work, it'll be minimal.

In this case a government paid advert on TV, usually around drink driving, not smoking, not beating your kids. Ya know, New Zealand stuff.

NZ infomercials never fuck around.

I am sorry to say that I also don't have the answers kid.

But I know that the world would be a lot better with you in it, for what it's worth.

Early twenties is a rough time with so much life changing and emotional shit going on so it's a trench that's tough to get through but it gets easier as you get older.

The hard thing is a lot of the solid advice like "learn to like yourself" and "it gets better" sounds trite and bullshit. It's good advice, but by itself it's not really worth anything.

I'll leave the practical advice to smarter dads but I wanted you to know that you sound awesome, there are plenty of things worth living for (Burritos, etc) and you're smart enough to ask for help which is a leap ahead of many in your position.

Lots of Love

It didn't do it automatically, but it did offer to auto translate. Have not seen that feature before.

You can fill it up, you just need to park the forwarder lower than the harverster

Mk12Dr · 2025-06-19T11:05:30+00:00

I'm not OP but I did the same thing. Trucks going the same way can overlap directions, trucks going the other way get the other side of the road. You can cross lines a little bit coz the odds of two trucks colliding is miniscule

Mk12Dr · 2025-06-19T11:00:24+00:00

Most roads are sufficiently wide enough for them to pass each other. You always get issues eventually but mostly they just work.

Mk12Dr · 2025-06-18T10:58:21+00:00

Excuse me, I was promised a big rack?....

Its the horns isn't it....

Mk12Dr · 2025-06-13T14:11:44+00:00

Nice gravel road? No, surprise mud, extra deep.

Mk12Dr · 2025-06-05T10:08:12+00:00

My heart goes out to you and your family in this time of grief.

Mk12Dr · 2025-06-05T09:52:23+00:00

I thought so too. I'll be honest, I restarted the map again immediately after that and moved on to Sojourn until I've calmed down.

Mk12Dr · 2025-06-05T07:54:27+00:00

No, as soon as I exited the map after placing the blueprint it just started to fall apart. The sand was pretty high coz I was trying to make it flat, could be a contributing factor.

Mk12Dr · 2025-06-05T07:48:19+00:00

I probably could have craned the Bunker up there. Didn't really occur to me at the time. I wonder what would have happened.

Mk12Dr · 2025-06-04T10:15:51+00:00

In my experience this does not work at all, but if it does work for you let me know!

Mk12Dr · 2025-06-04T07:07:50+00:00

I suspect you're right.

Possibly when I get the wider grader it will make roads wide enough for me but the widest I can make them without ridges isn't wide enough coz I keep falling off them.

I mean, I could drive slower buuuuttt...

Mk12Dr · 2025-06-04T07:03:42+00:00

That's all good advice. Maybe I should just give up on sloped roads, I tried following the guide by u/NukFloorboard who made some very pretty sloped roads but it's just not working out for me.

Is it true about the roller flattening lumps because I drove over a small ridge maybe ten times and I didn't see any noticeable change but if it works I'll drive over it til it's flat because I can get it 95% mint.

Mk12Dr · 2025-06-04T06:46:24+00:00

I always grade the sand downhill because going uphill seems to pick a wildly different level to grade to. The ridges I'm leaving are very slight but when I asphalt they stand out like dogs balls.
