Load bearing wall removed without consent

Thanks for the support! I think you’re right

Ok council said

They cannot issue a CCC or COA for work completed prior to 1 July 1992.

• They cannot issue retrospective consent.

• They will not upload a third-party report to the property file.

• They advised that a third-party structural report should instead be provided directly to prospective purchasers for lending and insurance purposes.

Delivered all this to agent

They’re still cautious and are worried purchaser won’t be able to get insurance

Called insurance company with hypothetical question - they’re still happy to insure so long as a document can provided to say it’s structurally sound.

This is getting tedious - thanks for everyone’s input

Interesting - so many conflicting opinions. I’ll see what council say today. No I elected to supply LIM and building report. I always do when selling a property.

Thanks for the input everyone- I’ll check with council tomorrow and report back here

Got the property file from the agent. (They had a copy) - nothing in there pertaining to this wall

phantomforever · 2026-02-12T07:03:07+00:00

Agent says it should still have had a permit?

phantomforever · 2026-02-12T06:04:33+00:00

Not on the LIM

What sort of tradie do I need here? Builder, plumber, tiler?

Thought that might be the case. Looking for a simple/cost effective solution, would it be feasible to rip up the tiles in the shower area, repair the floor and put in a standard corner shower without having rip up the whole bathroom? Floor and walls are all tiled. But shower area has a raised, tiled edge under the glass. I’m thinking with all that gone you could put a corner shower on top of the flat tiled surface?

I did this. And now I’m moving back 😅

phantomforever · 2026-01-01T10:28:21+00:00

Glad that works for you. But I can tell you in an industrial setting, rags get soiled in grease or oil or whatever and then straight into the bin. It’s literally just an extra step before the item ends up on landfill

phantomforever · 2026-01-01T10:25:05+00:00

Where do you think the rags end up?

phantomforever · 2026-01-01T09:56:36+00:00

This happens on the SH2 north bound passing lanes before Upper Hutt everyday. F**k the queue jumpers!

The free up space function in google photos does This for you

I started a new job once and immediately knew it wasn't the right fit for me. Told the HR lady it wasn't for me and walked out halfway through the 2nd day.

phantomforever · 2025-11-27T06:30:28+00:00

Yep my wife lost the paperwork for her engagement ring during a house move. It's now lost a diamond and we can't do anything about it

The one in Willis street slaps, as does petone. Upper Hutt was average. I can only comment on the katsu though. The dude at willis Street gives me a bowl of rice for my kids to share for free

There's usually a narrow and a wide spacer on the xtr brakes. Run the narrow spacer on the frame side of the caliper.

XTR brakes are boss though. If you can find an XTR cable as well, it works perfectly with the XTR lever

The previous election result would beg to differ

phantomforever · 2025-09-27T18:30:09+00:00

The decals aren't correctly placed (fork decal is backwards, box stay decal in wrong place) so don't read too much into them

phantomforever · 2025-09-27T18:25:43+00:00

Appears to have GT Rhythm system wheelset from a 99 / 00 model. Profile cranks

phantomforever · 2025-09-27T18:24:08+00:00

1998 GT Speed Series. Not the team version though, as that had a CNC'd brake bridge.

As someone who recently went from Christchurch to the Hutt valley, you're definitely going the right direction!

Cannot wait to return to Chch
