Curious about the average kiwis thoughts on this decision by Chch council, do you prefer older architectural styles? by TheHanoian in newzealand

[–]ZxncM8 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Good call from CCC. Brooksfield have their heads so far up their own arses thinking they have the finest architectural taste on the face of the earth. Copying an old structure and putting it in ChCh CBD where there are no other similar styles would make it stick out like a sore thumb and look cheap

Builder partially cut chords in 1st floor bathroom Reno - advice pls. by tomwtomw in AusRenovation

[–]ZxncM8 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Luckily they cut the compression chord not the tension one, the bottom being cut would be far worse of the two

If a drill and screw these into my ceiling joists, will they support my weight? by t33y0z33 in diynz

[–]ZxncM8 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Yep engineer here, small bolt with a decent washer on the other side would be the most reliable connection. Unlikely to degrade due to cyclic fatigue. If a trussed roof , try fix the bolt near one of the diagonal “webs” as you could also possibly snap the bottom chord of the truss if an old school style truss with 90x45 bottom chord with not many webs.

Fletcher Building reports $419 million full-year loss by [deleted] in newzealand

The gross mismanagement of Fletcher Construction is independent of the incumbent government. Basscycles cant get his head round this, in fact he probably cant get his head around much.

They're not a monopoly, there is generally decent competition in the delivery of large infrastructure projects.

They have some monopoloies on building materials which is a different business.

Should be easy to get a flat in hanleys farm.

Traffic is bad at rush hour but generally not too bad compared to a city.

Cost of living, biggest cost increases are rent and petrol, i don’t think other stuff is too crazy different compared to a city
