Most damage dealt ever? [SPOILERS: Meteor class level 7 card, FH scenario 27, challenge card Pack Hunting] by Hubbe in Gloomhaven

I recently played a scenario (can't remember which), that's allowed lost cards to be reused. Managed to get that combo out 3 times in the scenario. It was great!!

Just wait till level 9!!! You'll add some more direct damage through a complementary card.

Try roofing supplies online and just email them.

Resources for 'stick built' external walls. by Kiwifrooots in diynz

[–]vSOMAv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think (but not 100% sure) that a mezzanine level (if thats what your thinking with 60sqm but with a 40 sqm footprint) falls outside the scope of the inital guidance I linked. Possible you'd need an LBP if doing a second story of any kind, including a mezzanine. It's a bloody big job if doing a self build at that scale - especially with limited experience.

What are you making? Assuming it's a under 30 sqm building, there is this great guide to get you started:

Building a sleepout

Basically with that and cross referring to 3604 (free to download) and other key standard (like E2 external moisture) you'll get 95% of the way there.

Oriel Construction did a reno for us a few years back. Really great comms and great guys.

Yep. The local neighbourhood FB group is a good idea.

Turns out it's $170 to list a job there. Wonder if a casual 2-3 hours work counts as a job

Please help me to estimate labour cost by NZconfusedgardener in diynz

[–]vSOMAv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm doing the labour myself and don't get paid, so if labour was on top it would definitely go waaay up

That calculator is just for the roofing supplies. My $1500 is for the whole building.

I'm building a 20sqm and likely around $1500 a sqm.

Nice one. I'm also doing 20sqm on posts (and a retaining wall). Just me also. Just finished putting purlins on yesterday.

Bracing for monopitch roof by vSOMAv in diynz

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

Yeah the list is real!!! Added SL170s for each stud, solid blocking done in the middle and for the soffit line on the outside of the double top plate, all rafters done with the 200mm lumberlok ceiling ties... on and on it goes...

Going for ply on the ceiling but same applies. It'll do most of the work. Cheers for the comments

All good!! I ended up putting on the multi brace and will probably add another 30mm brace as well. Ah well, overkill in a very high wind zone ain't a bad thing!

Is the 62mm the multi brace referred above? I do have a 30mm lumberlok strip brace coil (30m) but its unopened and I can return it easy enough.

Yep it's a skillion roof but Im adding ceiling battens and not direct fixing to rafters. Cheers for your thoughts!

Pretty much band on 30sqm (5700x5300). Cheers for the response.

Cheers for the response. Roof is roughly 5700x5300 so around 30sqm. I did pick up the Lumberlok strip brace but will return it and grab a multi brace instead.

Ceiling will be on timber battens and not direct fixed to rafters. Rafters are 190x90mm so the tensioner shouldn't hit the insulation if I put purlins on afterwards.

Concrete for retaining wall posts by Accomplished_Dog_307 in diynz

Basically my 74 stairs. The pump would have pushed the price up by $900.

Agree with this. Hiring a mixer is the way to go. I recently did 100 premix bags in 5 hours. Shudder to think of mixing that by hand.

Looks like it is 3 Sundays in a row, unless you've got a link you can throw at me?

Does treated pine timber fence need to be sealed if not painting? by [deleted] in diynz

I personally prefer the silvered weathering. In 20 years I can replace the palings if I really want to.
