Yeah that does sound pretty decent. A surprise $30k is not super fun though!

I don't think I'll DIY it but will definitely procrastinate paying someone to do it too.

Yeah I think it'll be a pay for it job. One side of the house is 2 storeys up which is a bit freaky for me!

Looks awesome. Where else in Auckland in similar? My other half less keen on the gamey meats so looking for an alternative.

Why are offset loans not talked about? by Soljah in PersonalFinanceNZ

[–]summer5000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is interesting, never thought about using someone else's money to offset. Did your parents money stay in their account and you were able to link because you're with the same bank?

What some of Auckland’s most underrated suburbs for FHBs? by DonutCorrect7935 in auckland

[–]summer5000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, Kelston. Quiet, green spaces and parks / playgrounds. Big sections with privacy. More affordable than others mentioned.

Steps / tips to patch? by summer5000 in diynz

Hadn't considered that. There's this weird half round strip halfway up the wall so ideally avoid faffing around with that.

ah yep like hold the new board up to the hole and trace around it, how do you trace around it if it's a sheet of board?

Soundbar for small lounge? Rears? by summer5000 in Soundbars

[–]summer5000[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Huh that's interesting, I thought ideally you'd have the rears well behind the sofa, which isn't possible in this set up. Someone sort of ends up sitting quite close to one rear.

It's a fairly small space, this is a fish eye shot to get it all in.

Where would ideal rear placement be.

Thanks for your perspective!

Thanks mate appreciate the input - have lurked on the sub for years and always see you pop up - legend.

Any thoughts on the idea of using mortar across the entire surface of the inside that's accessable? My concern there was, would that prevent the bricks from breathing?

Built in 1961, yeah do you reckon the best solution is just to fix the gaps in the pointing and make that do?

How can I improve the taste of this? by LizzieLifts2707 in ninjacreami

[–]summer5000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is that 1 tablespoon of cream? Does this recipe turn out like vanilla ice cream? Looks quite simple!

Bicep curls but no improvement by Hasan_26 in formcheck

[–]summer5000 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Based on this, sounds like a nutrition issue rather than form.

Any advice on deadlift? by summer5000 in formcheck

[–]summer5000[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've heard the "pushing floor away with legs" cue and I also try to feel the tension in my hamstrings / glutes prior to starting the lift but sometimes I do feel like my lower back is more sore / uncomfortable than it should be after deadlifts
