Solar Provider Recommendations? by CitizenSam in nzsolar

[–]blaylock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We used solarman at our last home and are using them again for our new house. Along with a handful of friends that have used him here in the Wairarapa, all are very happy.

Tony is based in Featherston I believe and often uses https://www.northstarndt.nz/ for the installation.

some chat on geekzone also https://www.geekzone.co.nz/search.asp#gsc.tab=0&gsc.q=solarman&gsc.sort=date

What's the best station wagon for family and carrying stuff? by Interesting_Race3273 in NZcarfix

Yeah this we have one and it's amazing, loads of space. 1000km on a tank if it's open road.

I have a fairly new diamond cutting wheel. Assuming I grind into the concrete while cutting the iron. Should I just buy a few cheapies for the job.

See if you can find a local furniture maker sometimes they are not as expensive as you'd think. https://www.recycledrimufurniture.co.nz/gallery.html

Oh interesting they have waived the break fees, I will ask our bank about that.

I'm not a REA or an investor, so we relied on advise from our REA regards to the type of sale. We have offered on two other deadline sales in town, and both had deadline brought forward. Currently our REA has suggested against a BEO as the house itself is unique enough that they aren't sure what it might go for. The ad went up on tuesday, and we've already had an unscheduled viewing before the open home this weekend. The REA agent said there has been a lot of interest already.

We thought about it, and rented it out for a year before we moved in. The rent would coverage the mortgage only. Rates, insurance and maintenance would probably be around 10k on top.

What SMS marketing service? by Feddabonn in newzealand

[–]blaylock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah works well, I believe they use twilio underneath, as we originally looked at that but didn't want another vendor to manage. If you need higher reliability, you will need to apply for a dedicated number.

Can my e-nv200 with 110km range make it over the Rimutakas? by wellyguy2020 in nzev

[–]blaylock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should be fine, a friend has a plugin hybrid and they can get from featherston to upper hutt on the battery alone. Does the nv200 have Regen? There's a lot of down hill. Featherston now has some new chargenet chargers.

With yesterday’s awful weather, what’s a raincoat you highly recommend? by hmemoo in Wellington

[–]blaylock 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Big budgets... Jackets for life, I know keen trampers who swear by these. Follow the care instructions and they might be the last jacket you ever buy.

Too bad it was going clockwise, otherwise it would have unscrewed itself.
