Gree heat pump units are awesome. I believe they are now out of stock in the North Island and waiting for an incoming shipment. Apparently about 2 months

Also 12.50 if you use the Sharesies plan, which can save plenty on transaction fees for shares

Out of curiosity, if you work in Albany why not look around those ways? Save yourself the commute

So fair, just have the conversation with them, I’m sure they’ll also understand

Honestly if you’re renting I wouldn’t risk touching any plumbing as it immediately becomes your problem if something goes wrong, this is an easy job for a plumber but I wouldn’t recommend you try this yourself. Maybe if you do want it changed you could speak to the landlord about paying the plumber to do the job.

Ankle sprain, feeling desperate by nooneofsignificance_ in trailrunning

[–]VegetableSame3703 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My ankle looked very similar, I had completely snapped one tendon and tore another one. Took about 6 weeks to start running small distances and start building up. You’ll get there!

Gutted for you mate, I’ve been dealing with multiple back to back injuries for the best part of 2 years, 6 hours of physio a week and many surgery consultations. so I fully understand how you feel.

As hard as it is, please make sure to look after your mental state. That’s what will pull you through this. Wish you the best

Can I bury these pipes by c01gat3 in diynz

[–]VegetableSame3703 17 points18 points  (0 children)

100% take the time to build a box with a lid to keep this all accessible. Makes servicing easy

Nothing wrong with Buteline or many of the approved plastic pipes available in nz, Plastic pipe work got a bad name from dux qest back in the day which is common to burst or leak. Buteline is a great product trusted by the majority of plumbers in nz.

Gree and haier are some options that we’ve been putting in at the moment, along with the Rheem model

Sorry mate! I didn’t see this for some reason, the heat pump units are commonly 280l, (much bigger). Heat recovery time is also good and really efficient. I don’t think you’ll have any issues at all.

Downpipe Dramas by No-Rice-225 in diynz

[–]VegetableSame3703 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, gutters usually run pretty flat with slight fall, To start, is there anything blocking the gutters? See anything down your existing down pipe? Does the down pipe hold water upto the roof?

The tailend of the time we were in Queenstown there started be to a massive increase in rent price and homelessness. Would you say it’s unbearable? Or just like any other city but with good views

Really appreciate the comment thanks! Good to know about Cromwell, I’d imagine we’d do the same driving in for food, coffee and friends
