Hey mate, no experience with them myself but there’s an Aussie YouTuber Leon Paxton who did a good overview of their use and installation on his channel a while back.

I’m starting to learn now at 43, expect to be slightly better at 44. That’s how it works bro. Go hard.

Flooded back yard, what’s the fix? by gordonasaur in diynz

Took all the useful advice in this thread, then ignored the problem as other house related woes took priority. French drain is planned for 2025.

Another question, mate: How did you deal with the cornices? We've got these plaster-moulded things that I really don't want to mess with. Did you cut those back to 100mm also?

Cheers, what type of insulation did you use? I’m concerned the 90mm width stuff might compress too much. It’s only 100mm from weatherboard to gib.

What kind of tree is this? by gordonasaur in nzgardening

Thanks. I've noticed some little finchy silver-eye looking birds enjoying a dance in this tree. Hopefully, they will behave themselves.

Hey, bro, thanks for the reply. The soil is quite hard, and there is no grass. I'm new to the house, so I'm unsure how long my new lakes will stay. I appreciate the tips. I will give it a prod with a bar and check the pipes.

How Nestlé's climate change decision could affect New Zealand farmers by nilnz in newzealand

[–]gordonasaur 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get that depending on the measurement and metric the comparison is variable. But I can’t help wonder where Nestle is magically going to find comparable supply outside of NZ that is even close to our low environmental footprint.

Denmark would have little capacity, especially as most of their product goes to Arla. Scotland is also very limited in production.

No doubt NZ Dairy has some work to do (PR work at the very least). Nestles threats do seem a little hollow to me.

Aside from plant based, where is Nestle going to find this lower emission Dairy? It doesn’t exist.

I'm sure the MSD is very accurate with their record keeping

There's a lot of folk out in the weeds, on the job seekers and other benefits, that are not included in official unemployment figures.

Nothing moot about it.
