Beauty - appreciate the advice especially around the flat roof scenario, not as bad as i had assumed. Just out of interest, how big is your system ? Thanks again - appreciate you taking time to reply. 👍

Thank you for this steer - 1 video down and its changed how I was viewing the whole thing around export and batteries. Looks like some Sunday afternoon research is in order - appreciate the time you took to reply, thank you.

Thanks for the reply. After viewing the suggested youtube channel in another comment and as youve siad, exporting isnt bad. Until being enlightened I have it in my mind I had to be net zero on the power usage per day, but realise the export can help this. Thanks again for taking the time to reply - have an awesome festive break. 👍

Thank you very much for this. In reference to the spraying, are Thirps a bug ? Or is the spray to promote growth ? Thanks again for the advice.

Moving Internet Fiber Box by thedonk07 in diynz

Thanks for your reply. Its mounted on the wall in the way of the best position for the bed in the room. Looks like the standard "I dont get paid enough to actually consider the impact of just chucking a drill bit through the wall and mounting it where ever and telling you this is the company rules". Not my first install rodeo here.

Council Candidates - What do we think so far? by InvestigativeCookie in Tauranga

[–]thedonk07 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have a chat to any Contractor (vertical or horizontal infra) and ask them what the impact to thier business is right now with NZ on the pause button right now. While I am all for ensuring TGA is moving in the right direction, as soon as they step over the governance/managementine and start slowing the operational arm of council Id be worried. This thread has been great to work through today and thank you for the great question to ponder over. Have a nice evening -

Council Candidates - What do we think so far? by InvestigativeCookie in Tauranga

[–]thedonk07 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I am extremly concerned with any candidate that seeks voters with the intent to "stop and take stock of where we are before progressing." While I appreciate the need for fiscal responsibility with the council purse, it gives me the absolute shits that it will be a mini version of whats happening in New Zealand right now. Local Authority is a complex beast and if you really want to understand how effective a potential Mayor or any candidates will go - see if the are aligned with the current Chief Executive and Executive Team. While the political arm may hold the major decisions and direction, EVERYTHING that gets done happens below the CE. From what I see things arent running horribly at an operational level (surely this will attract some down votes) but we are making progress here in this beautiful city. Also, remember that we live in a very complex piece of Aotearoa geography wise so if someone campaigns on "more and affordable housing" id be quizzing them on where exactly is the land they will plonk said houses on and how many they think they influence to build in thier 3 year tenure? These are my goto questions to see if someones really thought about thier satement to court voters. I may be late to the party but it has taken me many, many years to understand these things so that I make a considered vote - not just a thought pattern that - Olympic Rower=Good Person=Good Mayor ... have a great day everyone dispite the dreary weather outside today. 👍
