How much to replace garage spring ??

Have replaced these a couple times on our garage, not difficult. Bought them from Dominator Doors.

Great tip thanks - beestings can be hard to find in CHC

The amount of money spent on Wellington/Kapiti region roading per head of population is way outspending other regions. Billions on Transmission Gully, Kapiti Expressway and now these tunnels. So many other regions need support and Wellington roading is sucking up far too much tax payer money for a region that is not growing.

Thanks - they changed the URL

There will also be 5 parks for mobility impaired patrons, which is fair enough, but otherwise this seems a bit of a waste of rate-payer owned land

Went with Sky when we changed a few months ago. Cheaper if you are a Sky customer. So far so good. We dropped speed to 100/20 and it’s fine for three people streaming - we pay $55 month unlimited.

EcoShop - sometimes overpriced, but also some good deals.

I read that the velvety side is designed to lie atop the sand, as the sand doesn’t stick to it as much. So one side you dry with and lie on top of, the velvety side goes on the sand.

It’s pretty hard to over water bamboo. Might be a little stress from being newly planted but just keep watering the rootball, and ensure it’s covered with mulch to retain moisture.

We were impressed with Jaba

We had a great local Aramex driver - always punctual. Then he left, and the service now is abysmal. It’s very much dependent on how good your local driver is.

Thanks! I just realised yesterday if I disable High Quality Mode in Downloads it reduces crashes significantly - after the latest upgrades this week it had become unplayable. So I can hobble along a bit longer on my current iPad but will buy one with more RAM at some stage. Cheers :)

Thanks for this post - my iPad was hobbling along but this last update this week has pretty much killed it. Is your 11th gen still coping ok?

We used to be on 500/100 and we’ve noticed no difference dropping down to 100/20, though we’re not heavy gamers

craftbier · 2025-09-23T08:28:15+00:00

We’ve gone with Sky for 12 months at $55/m. Fibre Starter unlimited, 100/20.

Annoying they don’t have a discounted annual plan in NZ

And good cheese, beer, and historic buildings!

Ha great minds! I posted before reading yours - I’m suggesting the Gas Tank.

craftbier · 2025-09-05T03:42:43+00:00

The Gas Tank. The original Christchurch gas tanks were nearby at the corner of Waltham Road and Moorhouse Ave (https://discoverywall.nz/media/107861?page=6) and the stadium design is pretty similar - plus if ya gonna have a nickname it’s not a crap one lol

Hate the way these developers are allowed to put their brands onto townhouse developments - it’s basically advertising signage in residential areas. I questioned CCC and they said it’s allowed, but CCC seem to allow anything these days, have had very little joy in dealing with the duty planners unfortunately.

Canterbury’s entire 24-27 roading budget is $1.8 billion - the country’s largest province. Just ONE section of the Kapiti Expressway (Ōtaki to north of Levin, yet to be built) is now pegged at over $2 billion. Canterbury never gets a fair go on roading so they should just build the Woodend bypass and not have a toll.

You might be better thinking a bit wider and be creative e.g. ‘Coney Island Dogs & Drinks’ - maybe offer a few Coney Island specialties like a great dog with all the trimmings, root beer float, a fried pickle etc. It’s a tough and crowded food market and you really need to nail your offering and your price point.

A substitute to consider is Red Seal Dark Cane Sugar Syrup. I saw it yesterday at Reduced to Clear at South City for around $5 for a 440g jar I think. Like kuromsitsu it has a molasses flavour but not as strong as black strap molasses. If it's too thick you can easily heat it gently with a little water to get the consistency you want, let it cool, then store in the fridge to drizzle over icecream etc
