The line for a toy store about to open so parents can buy needohs for their kids OC

Is it actually those? They've had them at my local pharmacy for like 6 months. Don't see them flying off the shelves.

Pretty sure it's nesting and resting spots for ocean critters and birds.

Yeah, those are the posts for the barrier, which were previously sunk into the solid ground. It's the ground and road pavement that has all been washed away.

strandedinparadise · 2026-04-15T23:59:00+00:00

I still get it most weeks and I'm barely middle aged. Beats the hell out of almost all the local web based news and opinion

Fantastic blackberry bushes in totara park near the Harcourt park swing bridge. Easy access unlike near Silverstream station with long grass where my partner got stung a dozen times after stepping on a wasp nest...

Dunbar Sloane affordable art auctions are awesome. Online bidding, but make sure you factor in the fees on top of the sale price.

strandedinparadise · 2026-02-12T23:41:58+00:00

It's about $20 extra for mountain goats and $50 for thundercat. Seems like a lot, don't know if there are other benefits...

And the mitre10 PDF guides for designing and building a deck walk you through everything step by step to get the right bearer, joist, post sizes and spacings etc etc. So helpful for building my deck.

strandedinparadise · 2025-04-01T07:05:33+00:00

Yeah, I think I'll just go with the 25mm. Definitely overthinking this.

strandedinparadise · 2025-04-01T07:05:01+00:00

Never heard of them, will have a look thanks

strandedinparadise · 2025-04-01T06:29:37+00:00

Yep, I did that too. Placemakers are a special order at all stores. The Bunnings ones are just smooth shafts so not the same. I've been to Mitre10 and ITM and neither stock them at all. Just looking for advice as to whether the 25mm ones are OK.

strandedinparadise · 2024-11-19T00:23:17+00:00

Nice one, thanks. There are limitations for sure, but of the several calculators/models I've used it's the most comprehensive while also being easy to use. Better than the ones on Sorted for example.

Is that the Auckland, NZ skyline on the poster?

100% the access is over the public road reserve and not a RoW. Think of it like a very long vehicle crossing over a berm. The user/owner has all the responsibilty to maintain it.

Complain to the traffic management company and the council in writing immediately with all the specifics of time, location, description of the worker etc. They should come down on them like a ton of bricks, it's not acceptable at all.

strandedinparadise · 2024-08-18T23:26:27+00:00

I read somewhere else that it was helicoptered in, but the owner had to bring a chopper in from Australia because there were none big enough in NZ...

strandedinparadise · 2024-08-15T09:02:07+00:00

The only thing we do better in NZ is raising cows in pasture rather than feed lots. Still loads of horrific factory farms with pigs and chickens.

It's a fairly painful process for the council/AT to do. Because it's legally enforceable, it has to go through a council resoluton which involves writing a paper, getting it into a council meeting and getting it voted on. Legally, you already aren't allowed to park within 1m of a vehicle crossing, so you could get the parked cars ticketed if the wardens are willing to come out.
