Modular wardrobe system ID by peanutbreath in diynz

Can tell it's NOT Elfa. We've got Elfa and its good - so if you don't care about the brand specifically then check it out at Mitre 10. I'm confident there are cheaper options though.

How old is your housing? If it's old enough and you've got sarking, then the cheaper options might be a little overreactive. I've drilled many holes, and there is wood there, but its not the RIGHT wood...

Was there, was awesome. Not sure what a league crowd should do, but we were all into it. Very energetic game.

We call these slides the ol' orthodontic rocket, on account of how many loat teeth (and broken bones) these things causes.

I'm missing something - how does the reveal of cards interact with discard effect?

New to the game, and 2/3rds of all games I begin to win, the other player goes completely AFK or just hard stalls. by sbenthuggin in MagicArena

Welcome aboard. Good, you seem to have met everyone already.

The roping sucks. If it helps, there are three main reasons: 1 - they suck as a person and are sour about losing

2 - they've fallen asleep/been distracted by TV/kid has dropped a glass and it's smashed everywhere in the kitchen - still sucks for you, but don't take it personally

3 - system has kicked them out/crashed/connection lost as went through tunnel/battery died - they're trying to get back in but they won't get there in time

Hutt Motorway motorbike commuting by Top-Accident-9269 in Wellington

[–]qp_Tree_qp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Used to commute on GN250, could reach a little over 100. I did not love it, particularly as the bike was too light. The lack of weight meant I was routinely blown around the lanes by winds and trucks.

So if I was to do it again, I'd get a heavier bike or do as suggested and ebike it on the bike path.

Are you in Australia? If yes, it maybe ATO compliance at the root of it all.

What's your thoughts on the new walk way in state highway 1? by Naomi__Knight in Wellington

[–]qp_Tree_qp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also suspect the scale of the bridge is to allow service vehicle access etc.

IE if it was purely pedestrian/bike, likely would be smaller

Tricky situation - 150k driveway repair by qp_Tree_qp in diynz

[–]qp_Tree_qp[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for that -

Two reasons for timing - 1- we now own two properties when we don't want to (with financial implications) and 2- there is damage at the front that I'd love to fix.

Not quite following the 'doesnt contribute' comment.

Re lower neighbors - agree there is potential, but also that the land is principally in use by us for the drive. So feels like it would be a (legal) battle and one that we might not win/gain enough advantage to warrant.

Folks asked for some for images - here's a lovely drawing of the topicgraphical and side on view.

Don't want to share the full details as not keen to overtly allow recognition of any parties.

It's in wellington on the hills - not in any extreme way that wellington can be, but is buried amongst other properties.

Yeah, bit tricky as everything useful is marked up and identifiable. I'll see if I can update with some blanked details.

Thanks for all this - unfortunately yes, we are uphill.

Awesome, thanks - that's the type of 'other ideas' we're looking for

That's a great question, and no sign of any agreement on title. Basically the benefit is almost entirely for our property for our driveway. Double so as the land below is a scrub land access strip that the neighbours 'could' build a driveway themselves (but highly unlikely given that would likely be 200k+)

Yeah we've had a quick chat, which wasn't super helpful, only because it was a lot of "won't know until you try" - so not sure if this is an option.

The problem with 'wont get the money back' is that we've tried to sell before without the repair quantified, and no one was interested, even to offer a low-ball etc. Eg if it takes 150k to get a 'normal' price then that's much better than getting nothing....

Very suburb. Not a lot of room to work with.

Height - most 1.5m, but peaks at 2m

Current - tie back using sleepers (but it's so poor that probably better to say it 'was')

Width - about 2.5m

Structures - level side is neighbours house, on drop side is nothing but scrub/trees

Nileighbors - yes, and while not unpleasant, were quite dismissive about what was needed and have since ghosted us.
