There's plenty of 22 00:01:58,175 --> 00:02:01,095 Speaker 5: that happening at the moment proposed changes, and we can 23 00:02:01,095 --> 00:02:03,695 Speaker 5: talk about the fact that next weekend is a long weekend, 24 00:02:03,735 --> 00:02:06,895 Speaker 5: isn't it. It is King's Birthday weekend. So maybe you've 25 00:02:06,935 --> 00:02:09,095 Speaker 5: got a job that you're thinking, well, I don't really 26 00:02:09,255 --> 00:02:11,015 Speaker 5: have time to do it in two days, but hey, 27 00:02:11,055 --> 00:02:14,215 Speaker 5: three days could be the tipping point. Three days could 28 00:02:14,215 --> 00:02:18,415 Speaker 5: be the opportunity to crack through a particular project. It'd 29 00:02:18,455 --> 00:02:22,495 Speaker 5: be really interesting to see what projects you've got hopefully 30 00:02:23,335 --> 00:02:25,695 Speaker 5: long term forecast and look that great for the end 31 00:02:25,735 --> 00:02:28,295 Speaker 5: of this week, but there might be some indoor jobs 32 00:02:28,375 --> 00:02:30,775 Speaker 5: you want to try and achieve over the course of 33 00:02:30,815 --> 00:02:33,535 Speaker 5: next week. A couple of things on the show today. 34 00:02:34,135 --> 00:02:38,175 Speaker 5: Our painting expert Jay Sharples from Razine Color Shops from 35 00:02:38,255 --> 00:02:41,015 Speaker 5: Razine Paints, will be back with us from seven to 36 00:02:41,055 --> 00:02:45,175 Speaker 5: twenty five, so we'll be taking text questions there from 37 00:02:45,375 --> 00:02:48,615 Speaker 5: you to Jay Tricky the better anything to do with 38 00:02:48,735 --> 00:02:53,615 Speaker 5: painting preparation, paint selection, those sorts of things probably not 39 00:02:53,655 --> 00:02:55,295 Speaker 5: going to give you a lot of help in terms 40 00:02:55,335 --> 00:02:58,015 Speaker 5: of choosing the color. That's very much up to you. 41 00:02:58,095 --> 00:03:01,335 Speaker 5: But once you've made your color choice, we can certainly 42 00:03:01,335 --> 00:03:04,655 Speaker 5: help with the technical advice around getting a really good 43 00:03:04,735 --> 00:03:08,375 Speaker 5: painting job. And to be I think we're starting to 44 00:03:08,455 --> 00:03:12,735 Speaker 5: get the message that really painting is all about systems 45 00:03:12,775 --> 00:03:16,535 Speaker 5: now in terms of this product goes with this one 46 00:03:16,975 --> 00:03:19,015 Speaker 5: to achieve an end result. And I'm thinking about a 47 00:03:19,095 --> 00:03:23,335 Speaker 5: job that I finally got finished this week, timber post 48 00:03:23,375 --> 00:03:27,055 Speaker 5: that needed to be replaced. It was a laminated post, 49 00:03:27,095 --> 00:03:30,775 Speaker 5: it had already been primed. I had to do some shamfering. 50 00:03:30,775 --> 00:03:33,255 Speaker 5: I had to make some decorative elements to it. I 51 00:03:33,295 --> 00:03:35,135 Speaker 5: had to cut the top and the bottom off, et cetera, 52 00:03:35,575 --> 00:03:38,855 Speaker 5: half house the top and then seal all of that. 53 00:03:39,295 --> 00:03:42,015 Speaker 5: Then I sanded the original primer back and then I 54 00:03:42,055 --> 00:03:45,495 Speaker 5: applied a new coat of oil based primer on it 55 00:03:45,575 --> 00:03:49,615 Speaker 5: to lock it all in place. Then went ahead and 56 00:03:49,695 --> 00:03:53,335 Speaker 5: put a water borne primer over the top, which is 57 00:03:53,375 --> 00:03:56,335 Speaker 5: a good adhesion primer to my eventual top coat. So 58 00:03:56,575 --> 00:03:59,095 Speaker 5: it's all around systems sometimes with painting. So we can 59 00:03:59,095 --> 00:04:02,655 Speaker 5: talk about that as well. And then we're into the 60 00:04:02,655 --> 00:04:04,935 Speaker 5: garden of course with through climb pass from around seven 61 00:04:04,935 --> 00:04:06,695 Speaker 5: point thirty as well. But if if you've got a 62 00:04:06,695 --> 00:04:09,455 Speaker 5: building question, let's get into it. Oh eight hundred and 63 00:04:09,495 --> 00:04:12,935 Speaker 5: eighty ten eighty is the number to call, and Rod 64 00:04:13,095 --> 00:04:14,135 Speaker 5: a very good morning. 65 00:04:15,015 --> 00:04:17,695 Speaker 6: Yeah, good morning for you. Good morning, my first time calling. 66 00:04:18,135 --> 00:04:19,615 Speaker 5: Nice of you to call, nice to hear from you. 67 00:04:20,655 --> 00:04:22,695 Speaker 6: Thank you very much. Hey, look, I want to see 68 00:04:22,695 --> 00:04:25,215 Speaker 6: and help me. I've got one of these prefabricated cabins 69 00:04:25,255 --> 00:04:28,695 Speaker 6: in our garden and it's rot has set into some 70 00:04:28,735 --> 00:04:30,935 Speaker 6: of the corners. So it's some of these ones which 71 00:04:30,935 --> 00:04:33,575 Speaker 6: has got like the corner's over lock and a T shape, 72 00:04:33,575 --> 00:04:36,255 Speaker 6: so it's it's got like three corners on it. But 73 00:04:36,295 --> 00:04:39,575 Speaker 6: the rain has got into it and it's got a 74 00:04:39,575 --> 00:04:43,055 Speaker 6: bit of rot. And I was thinking to basically break 75 00:04:43,055 --> 00:04:45,215 Speaker 6: out the rot and then fill it with bog. But 76 00:04:46,455 --> 00:04:48,815 Speaker 6: what would you recommend? Is there some sort of preservative 77 00:04:48,855 --> 00:04:49,855 Speaker 6: or something I should put in? 78 00:04:50,055 --> 00:04:53,535 Speaker 5: Yeah, there's a couple of things there. So obviously it's 79 00:04:53,575 --> 00:04:57,535 Speaker 5: it's timber on the exterior. How old's the cabin because 80 00:04:57,895 --> 00:05:02,375 Speaker 5: realistically it's shouldn't rot that any. 81 00:05:01,455 --> 00:05:03,735 Speaker 6: It's only four years old. It's only been in for 82 00:05:03,815 --> 00:05:07,895 Speaker 6: four years. But yeah, it's I think, well, it's been 83 00:05:07,935 --> 00:05:10,255 Speaker 6: fully painted and everything in the time it's been in. 84 00:05:10,335 --> 00:05:12,655 Speaker 6: But I think it's a bit of a floor and 85 00:05:12,695 --> 00:05:15,175 Speaker 6: the sign perhaps, Yeah, sure, it just gets under those 86 00:05:15,535 --> 00:05:18,615 Speaker 6: those external external corners. There's no flashings or things on 87 00:05:18,615 --> 00:05:19,455 Speaker 6: the corners. 88 00:05:19,095 --> 00:05:23,695 Speaker 5: So yeah, okay, And how extensive is the rotted part, 89 00:05:23,775 --> 00:05:28,015 Speaker 5: the part that's gone soft your. 90 00:05:27,935 --> 00:05:32,855 Speaker 6: Fist or yeah, yeah, yeah, no, it's it's it's it's 91 00:05:32,895 --> 00:05:35,775 Speaker 6: smaller than my head. Actually, there's two parts to one 92 00:05:35,855 --> 00:05:38,335 Speaker 6: is on the back corner. Yes, it had it had 93 00:05:38,535 --> 00:05:41,255 Speaker 6: it had no down pipe on it, so it's off 94 00:05:41,255 --> 00:05:43,255 Speaker 6: the ground there and that's right. It out pretty bad. 95 00:05:43,455 --> 00:05:45,455 Speaker 6: But on the other corners, it's just a little bit 96 00:05:45,455 --> 00:05:47,655 Speaker 6: in some of the other corners, okay. 97 00:05:48,375 --> 00:05:52,055 Speaker 5: I mean sometimes the challenge with fetching out some rot 98 00:05:52,215 --> 00:05:55,535 Speaker 5: and filling it with a product something you mix up 99 00:05:55,575 --> 00:05:57,535 Speaker 5: right and mad in there is whether or not there's 100 00:05:57,655 --> 00:06:01,655 Speaker 5: enough solid material for that to hold on to. Right, 101 00:06:02,815 --> 00:06:05,535 Speaker 5: So as long as it's well supported and there's a 102 00:06:05,655 --> 00:06:10,015 Speaker 5: small area of decay, but it's surrounded by an area 103 00:06:10,095 --> 00:06:12,815 Speaker 5: that you're whatever bonding agent you're going to use or 104 00:06:12,815 --> 00:06:15,415 Speaker 5: whatever filling agent you're going to use, can actually stick 105 00:06:15,455 --> 00:06:20,335 Speaker 5: to something, then that's a good approach to take. Sometimes 106 00:06:20,375 --> 00:06:24,335 Speaker 5: you might find that exactly what I well, in a sense, 107 00:06:24,375 --> 00:06:26,375 Speaker 5: what I had there a little while ago. So I 108 00:06:26,495 --> 00:06:28,175 Speaker 5: was picking out a little bit of rot on a 109 00:06:28,255 --> 00:06:31,495 Speaker 5: veranda post right by the time I picked it out, 110 00:06:31,775 --> 00:06:34,135 Speaker 5: my putty knife had gone from one side to the other. 111 00:06:34,295 --> 00:06:36,455 Speaker 5: I went right through it, and I thought, well, I 112 00:06:36,455 --> 00:06:39,815 Speaker 5: can cut the post off and put in a piece 113 00:06:40,695 --> 00:06:42,935 Speaker 5: and make a join that will be strong and all 114 00:06:42,975 --> 00:06:44,615 Speaker 5: the rest of it, or I'll just pull the whole 115 00:06:44,655 --> 00:06:46,375 Speaker 5: post out, which is what I ended up doing. So 116 00:06:46,415 --> 00:06:48,735 Speaker 5: I pulled the post out, got another one, copied all 117 00:06:48,735 --> 00:06:51,815 Speaker 5: the detail, put the new one in. So I just 118 00:06:51,855 --> 00:06:55,455 Speaker 5: wonder whether, if it's like a box corner, for all 119 00:06:55,455 --> 00:06:58,175 Speaker 5: of the time and effort that you might spend fetching 120 00:06:58,175 --> 00:07:00,575 Speaker 5: out a little piece of rot and filling it and 121 00:07:00,655 --> 00:07:03,015 Speaker 5: so on and so forth, could you look at or 122 00:07:03,055 --> 00:07:04,935 Speaker 5: maybe get some advice on it. You know, pull the 123 00:07:04,935 --> 00:07:08,175 Speaker 5: box corner off, buy some new timber, replace that, and 124 00:07:08,255 --> 00:07:10,415 Speaker 5: chances are the timber that you're going to replace it 125 00:07:10,535 --> 00:07:13,095 Speaker 5: with will have a higher treatment level than what they 126 00:07:13,215 --> 00:07:16,615 Speaker 5: might have used, So you might want to use H 127 00:07:16,695 --> 00:07:18,975 Speaker 5: three point two. But let's say there's just a small 128 00:07:19,015 --> 00:07:20,935 Speaker 5: area of ro that you want to fix out. You 129 00:07:20,975 --> 00:07:24,495 Speaker 5: can cut out or just scrape out any loose material. 130 00:07:24,975 --> 00:07:28,135 Speaker 5: There are some timber preservatives like metal X for example, 131 00:07:28,215 --> 00:07:33,375 Speaker 5: that will help prevent further rot to that area. There's 132 00:07:33,415 --> 00:07:35,175 Speaker 5: also a product that I picked up the other day 133 00:07:35,215 --> 00:07:39,815 Speaker 5: called basically wood hardener, right, which you just flood the 134 00:07:39,935 --> 00:07:43,095 Speaker 5: area with this product and you don't let it dry. 135 00:07:43,295 --> 00:07:45,975 Speaker 5: You keep applying it until it gets like a gloss 136 00:07:46,095 --> 00:07:49,535 Speaker 5: on it, and then once it's saturated, you let it 137 00:07:49,615 --> 00:07:52,655 Speaker 5: dry and it literally hardens up all of that slightly 138 00:07:52,735 --> 00:07:56,655 Speaker 5: soft fibrous material around the edge of the rotten area. 139 00:07:57,135 --> 00:08:02,215 Speaker 5: And then my go to in terms of those sorts 140 00:08:02,215 --> 00:08:05,895 Speaker 5: of repairs is a product called repair Care, which is 141 00:08:06,375 --> 00:08:08,775 Speaker 5: a two part compound. They both come in a tube, 142 00:08:09,415 --> 00:08:13,735 Speaker 5: so like a corking tube, you mix them together. If 143 00:08:13,735 --> 00:08:15,215 Speaker 5: you're doing a lot of it, you can buy a 144 00:08:15,215 --> 00:08:17,975 Speaker 5: special corking gun that's got two pistons in it so 145 00:08:18,015 --> 00:08:20,655 Speaker 5: you can discharge it at the same time. Otherwise, I've 146 00:08:20,735 --> 00:08:25,215 Speaker 5: kind of just figured out the proportions and extruded them out, 147 00:08:25,455 --> 00:08:30,695 Speaker 5: mixed this together and it's it's has some adhesive qualities 148 00:08:30,735 --> 00:08:34,215 Speaker 5: to it, but also once it hardens, you can sand 149 00:08:34,255 --> 00:08:37,215 Speaker 5: it and paint it. So that's Repair Care and you 150 00:08:37,295 --> 00:08:38,935 Speaker 5: get that from the Razine shops. 151 00:08:39,775 --> 00:08:41,855 Speaker 6: That's fantastic. Yeah, thank you very much. 152 00:08:41,935 --> 00:08:42,655 Speaker 2: So there's a little bit. 153 00:08:42,575 --> 00:08:44,495 Speaker 5: Of stuff in there, but you know, if you're going 154 00:08:44,535 --> 00:08:47,495 Speaker 5: to open up that area, do make sure you add 155 00:08:47,495 --> 00:08:50,375 Speaker 5: a timber preservative, just to stop any rot that might 156 00:08:50,455 --> 00:08:56,095 Speaker 5: still be there from extending. Okay, all the best, take care. 157 00:08:57,255 --> 00:08:59,575 Speaker 5: I mean, look, it's not unfair to say you would 158 00:08:59,575 --> 00:09:03,935 Speaker 5: expect the exterior cladding to last longer than four years, 159 00:09:03,975 --> 00:09:07,815 Speaker 5: even if it is getting saturated with stormwater coming off 160 00:09:07,815 --> 00:09:11,175 Speaker 5: the roof that doesn't have a downpipe. But I mean, 161 00:09:11,215 --> 00:09:13,615 Speaker 5: I'm still grizzling at the fact that I'm replacing decking 162 00:09:13,935 --> 00:09:17,375 Speaker 5: boards that are twenty years old because it was LSOP 163 00:09:17,535 --> 00:09:21,895 Speaker 5: treated timber and it just hasn't lasted. There's a slight 164 00:09:21,975 --> 00:09:24,295 Speaker 5: irony at the fact that the deck that I built 165 00:09:24,335 --> 00:09:27,175 Speaker 5: at the back of the house twenty something years ago, 166 00:09:27,615 --> 00:09:29,695 Speaker 5: the boards have started to rot. When I step out 167 00:09:29,695 --> 00:09:31,735 Speaker 5: the front of the house onto the calorie boards that 168 00:09:31,775 --> 00:09:35,575 Speaker 5: were put down in nineteen oh five, the majority of those, 169 00:09:36,175 --> 00:09:38,975 Speaker 5: probably ninety percent of those, are actually still in really 170 00:09:38,975 --> 00:09:43,175 Speaker 5: good condition and untreated.

But hey, Peter w thank you 182 00:10:15,935 --> 00:10:19,735 Speaker 5: very much. Is there an available database of renovation projects? 183 00:10:19,735 --> 00:10:23,135 Speaker 5: Looking to use it to estimate a reno project cost 184 00:10:23,295 --> 00:10:29,215 Speaker 5: and duration? To the best of my knowledge, there isn't 185 00:10:30,775 --> 00:10:34,655 Speaker 5: one guy that does provide a truckload of data around 186 00:10:35,255 --> 00:10:37,975 Speaker 5: construction and so on. He's been interviewed, I think on 187 00:10:38,015 --> 00:10:40,815 Speaker 5: this station a couple of times. Mike Blackburn out of 188 00:10:40,895 --> 00:10:45,255 Speaker 5: christ Church does analysis of particularly building consents and that 189 00:10:45,335 --> 00:10:49,335 Speaker 5: sort of thing. Whether or not he's got data around that, 190 00:10:49,455 --> 00:10:53,455 Speaker 5: but check him out online. He's very very active online 191 00:10:53,815 --> 00:10:56,175 Speaker 5: with a lot of really really good information. So Mike 192 00:10:56,255 --> 00:11:00,655 Speaker 5: Blackburn out of christ Church might have something, but that's 193 00:11:00,695 --> 00:11:03,975 Speaker 5: a I'll bear that in mind. I don't know if 194 00:11:03,975 --> 00:11:07,695 Speaker 5: there is something like that. Trevor, very good morning to you. 195 00:11:09,255 --> 00:11:13,175 Speaker 7: Yes, good morning, Peace, from gislon good morning. Thank you 196 00:11:13,255 --> 00:11:16,415 Speaker 7: for your excellent program. Mate, you're revelating to all other 197 00:11:16,455 --> 00:11:19,535 Speaker 7: people who haven't got too much knowledge about building. 198 00:11:19,575 --> 00:11:21,175 Speaker 5: Mate. 199 00:11:22,055 --> 00:11:24,855 Speaker 7: Yeah, my problem is that when we bought our house 200 00:11:24,895 --> 00:11:29,535 Speaker 7: in September twenty and twelve, we were unaware that the 201 00:11:29,615 --> 00:11:33,495 Speaker 7: house was fitted out with this quest Ducks poly beautiy 202 00:11:33,535 --> 00:11:37,295 Speaker 7: in pipe providing water to various parts of the house. Well, 203 00:11:37,935 --> 00:11:41,535 Speaker 7: since then we've had five failings of the pipe, which 204 00:11:41,615 --> 00:11:44,215 Speaker 7: is meant you've had to call in a plumber to 205 00:11:44,295 --> 00:11:49,455 Speaker 7: come and replace the pipe. And talking to the Laiser 206 00:11:49,575 --> 00:11:52,655 Speaker 7: plumbing boys, they tell me that there's hundreds and thousands 207 00:11:52,695 --> 00:11:56,415 Speaker 7: of people have been affected by the failure of this pipe. 208 00:11:56,895 --> 00:12:03,975 Speaker 7: And you know we're pensioners, part up pensioners having to 209 00:12:04,055 --> 00:12:08,375 Speaker 7: fork out money each time the pipe fails. It's caused 210 00:12:09,055 --> 00:12:13,055 Speaker 7: softening up the brawboards around the hot water cylinder where 211 00:12:13,055 --> 00:12:17,935 Speaker 7: it do birth. And just recently another pipe burst underneath 212 00:12:17,935 --> 00:12:23,855 Speaker 7: the spare bedroom and we've got writing billboards. And also 213 00:12:24,575 --> 00:12:29,015 Speaker 7: the last plumber reported black mold and he said that's up. 214 00:12:29,015 --> 00:12:31,615 Speaker 7: It's pretty toxic and get onto it and get to 215 00:12:31,655 --> 00:12:34,615 Speaker 7: get rid of it if you can. But you know, 216 00:12:34,895 --> 00:12:36,975 Speaker 7: I'm a seventy five year old pension and I'm not 217 00:12:37,055 --> 00:12:41,295 Speaker 7: calling underneath the house or have that ability as well, 218 00:12:41,335 --> 00:12:46,975 Speaker 7: you know, and we've had news from a couple in 219 00:12:47,055 --> 00:12:50,015 Speaker 7: Hawk's Bad that the actual these pipes are in the 220 00:12:50,055 --> 00:12:54,575 Speaker 7: walls of the house and the total replacement was eighty 221 00:12:54,615 --> 00:12:56,975 Speaker 7: thousand dollars. Now, when you do a Google search, they 222 00:12:57,015 --> 00:13:02,895 Speaker 7: reckon between three thousand and seven thousand dollars to work. 223 00:13:04,055 --> 00:13:10,095 Speaker 7: In the situation, I think it's worthwhile claiming to our 224 00:13:10,095 --> 00:13:11,375 Speaker 7: insurance company about this. 225 00:13:13,095 --> 00:13:14,855 Speaker 5: Well, that was going to be my next question. Actually, 226 00:13:14,855 --> 00:13:18,655 Speaker 5: what's been the response from your insurer? Because typically insurers 227 00:13:18,655 --> 00:13:21,255 Speaker 5: will pay out on this, but because it is a 228 00:13:21,295 --> 00:13:25,375 Speaker 5: well and I'm basing this off sort of firsthand experience 229 00:13:25,415 --> 00:13:28,455 Speaker 5: in the sense that I know someone who has that 230 00:13:28,775 --> 00:13:33,175 Speaker 5: system inside their house, the first couple of claims were like, 231 00:13:33,295 --> 00:13:36,135 Speaker 5: oh gosh, I wonder what happened here, and then a 232 00:13:36,215 --> 00:13:39,855 Speaker 5: growing awareness that it was essentially a systemic failure to 233 00:13:39,975 --> 00:13:45,575 Speaker 5: use that well known phrase around the Ducks quest or 234 00:13:45,575 --> 00:13:51,815 Speaker 5: the quix Ducks system. So the approach from that particular 235 00:13:51,895 --> 00:13:56,535 Speaker 5: insurer was, you know, will will pay out one more time, 236 00:13:56,615 --> 00:14:00,255 Speaker 5: but thereafter we're not going to pay out because it's 237 00:14:00,495 --> 00:14:02,855 Speaker 5: just a maintenance issue. Now you know that you've got 238 00:14:02,895 --> 00:14:04,735 Speaker 5: something that's not working, We're not going to keep paying 239 00:14:04,735 --> 00:14:09,335 Speaker 5: you out every time an elbow bursts. The solution for 240 00:14:09,415 --> 00:14:12,295 Speaker 5: them was to work with their plumber and builder to 241 00:14:12,415 --> 00:14:17,695 Speaker 5: find a way of re routing or replacing pipework in 242 00:14:17,735 --> 00:14:19,855 Speaker 5: the most cost effective way that they could. But the 243 00:14:20,455 --> 00:14:23,295 Speaker 5: ultimately the only solution is to replace it. 244 00:14:25,735 --> 00:14:29,095 Speaker 7: Yeah, well, we've got a five hundred dollars access on 245 00:14:29,135 --> 00:14:34,935 Speaker 7: our building insurance anyway, so more than five hundred dollars to. 246 00:14:35,815 --> 00:14:38,295 Speaker 5: It probably will. But there's a couple of things that 247 00:14:38,815 --> 00:14:41,655 Speaker 5: might make it a little bit more affordable. So for example, 248 00:14:41,695 --> 00:14:44,495 Speaker 5: if there's an accessible roof space like trusses that you 249 00:14:44,535 --> 00:14:48,655 Speaker 5: can get around in. If for example, there's an underfloor 250 00:14:48,735 --> 00:14:52,535 Speaker 5: crawl space so that you know, plumbers can come along, 251 00:14:53,095 --> 00:14:55,855 Speaker 5: get access to the underside of the house, get access 252 00:14:55,895 --> 00:14:59,535 Speaker 5: to the attic, and in some cases, yet where it 253 00:14:59,535 --> 00:15:04,055 Speaker 5: gets disruptive is, for example, I had my plumber around 254 00:15:04,055 --> 00:15:07,415 Speaker 5: on Friday to a job and we place to basin tap. 255 00:15:07,495 --> 00:15:09,895 Speaker 5: Now I know that the pipes come up from underneath 256 00:15:09,895 --> 00:15:12,935 Speaker 5: the floor into the wall to a wing back behind 257 00:15:12,935 --> 00:15:17,095 Speaker 5: the cabinet, and so if there was a fault with that. Essentially, 258 00:15:17,135 --> 00:15:20,695 Speaker 5: i'd need to take the vanity off the wall, maybe 259 00:15:20,895 --> 00:15:23,655 Speaker 5: cut through the tiles a bit, take the wing back off, 260 00:15:23,775 --> 00:15:26,215 Speaker 5: pull the pipe down, slide a new one up, make 261 00:15:26,255 --> 00:15:28,855 Speaker 5: the crimp onto the wing back. So you know, it's 262 00:15:28,935 --> 00:15:33,095 Speaker 5: the cutting through plaster board, opening up walls, patching that 263 00:15:33,095 --> 00:15:36,535 Speaker 5: that makes it a more expensive project. I don't know 264 00:15:36,615 --> 00:15:39,815 Speaker 5: that on a relatively straightforward house, I can't see it 265 00:15:39,855 --> 00:15:43,455 Speaker 5: being a fifty or sixty thousand dollar job. So I 266 00:15:43,455 --> 00:15:45,375 Speaker 5: guess if you can make a claim to your insurer, 267 00:15:45,615 --> 00:15:48,735 Speaker 5: be really honest with them, and then take that money 268 00:15:48,855 --> 00:15:50,935 Speaker 5: and go right, I'm going to use that to part 269 00:15:50,975 --> 00:15:53,655 Speaker 5: fund the work, and then working with a couple of 270 00:15:53,655 --> 00:15:56,975 Speaker 5: smart plumbers and chippy's, you might be able to find 271 00:15:57,135 --> 00:15:59,695 Speaker 5: that you can get the bulk of the work done 272 00:15:59,695 --> 00:16:01,815 Speaker 5: for what your insurance pay out. That's probably your best 273 00:16:01,855 --> 00:16:02,575 Speaker 5: case scenario. 274 00:16:03,495 --> 00:16:05,655 Speaker 7: Yeah, well our house is are lockwood, so we don't 275 00:16:05,695 --> 00:16:08,055 Speaker 7: have any cavity. 276 00:16:08,215 --> 00:16:11,375 Speaker 5: Oh okay, all right. That does make it more challenging. 277 00:16:11,975 --> 00:16:15,695 Speaker 7: But a good calling space for a midget plumber. 278 00:16:15,775 --> 00:16:19,895 Speaker 5: Yeah, young foot, energetic, young plumber. They'll be in there 279 00:16:19,935 --> 00:16:21,335 Speaker 5: like a raight up a drain pipe. 280 00:16:22,055 --> 00:16:24,295 Speaker 7: Yeah, just out of school mate. 281 00:16:25,095 --> 00:16:28,655 Speaker 5: No, no, no, you don't want someone who's distracted by 282 00:16:29,335 --> 00:16:31,775 Speaker 5: scrolling Instagram on their phone. You want someone who's in 283 00:16:31,815 --> 00:16:35,215 Speaker 5: there and just going for it. But look, I think Trevor, 284 00:16:35,295 --> 00:16:38,055 Speaker 5: unfortunately the best solution going forward is to do a 285 00:16:38,095 --> 00:16:40,375 Speaker 5: replacement because in the end, you know, the bit that 286 00:16:40,455 --> 00:16:43,455 Speaker 5: doesn't break will break later on. That's the really, really 287 00:16:43,495 --> 00:16:46,735 Speaker 5: frustrating thing about it, right, Good luck with that, mate, 288 00:16:46,735 --> 00:16:48,535 Speaker 5: all the best and thanks for calling. Oh eight hundred 289 00:16:48,535 --> 00:16:50,655 Speaker 5: and eighty ten eighty is the number to call. Twenty 290 00:16:50,655 --> 00:16:53,255 Speaker 5: six minutes after six Ellison, good morning. 291 00:16:54,015 --> 00:16:59,095 Speaker 8: Good morning pig. I've got a nineteen forty nine house 292 00:16:59,575 --> 00:17:05,015 Speaker 8: and the south side timber is rotting and I'm getting 293 00:17:05,015 --> 00:17:11,415 Speaker 8: it replaced in the next year twelve months time, when 294 00:17:11,455 --> 00:17:15,055 Speaker 8: I've got the money. What I'm ringing about is I 295 00:17:15,135 --> 00:17:18,215 Speaker 8: have to get scaffolding for the people to climb up. 296 00:17:18,615 --> 00:17:22,935 Speaker 8: Who supplies to safety get? And where do I get that? 297 00:17:22,935 --> 00:17:24,295 Speaker 8: If buy have to supply it? 298 00:17:24,655 --> 00:17:27,775 Speaker 5: Sure? Roughly where are you in the country. 299 00:17:29,455 --> 00:17:30,055 Speaker 8: Nine to nine? 300 00:17:30,295 --> 00:17:30,535 Speaker 2: Okay? 301 00:17:30,615 --> 00:17:32,855 Speaker 5: Oh well, look there'll be lots of scaffolders working out 302 00:17:32,895 --> 00:17:35,735 Speaker 5: of either Wellington or in the hut. I was in 303 00:17:35,775 --> 00:17:37,895 Speaker 5: the hut the other day. I'm sure there were scaffolders there. 304 00:17:38,175 --> 00:17:44,015 Speaker 5: So it depends a little bit on in some ways. 305 00:17:44,015 --> 00:17:46,695 Speaker 5: It's actually well, I know, you as the householder might 306 00:17:46,735 --> 00:17:49,815 Speaker 5: want to provide scaffolding for the contractors, but really the 307 00:17:49,855 --> 00:17:53,095 Speaker 5: contractors could include the price of the scaffolding in their 308 00:17:53,135 --> 00:17:58,015 Speaker 5: work right, and so most contractors we might have a 309 00:17:58,015 --> 00:18:00,615 Speaker 5: couple of mobile towers for example, you know the aluminium 310 00:18:00,695 --> 00:18:03,455 Speaker 5: towers that knock down. Almost all builders that I know 311 00:18:03,535 --> 00:18:07,295 Speaker 5: have got their own set of you know, relatively small 312 00:18:07,375 --> 00:18:10,335 Speaker 5: tower that means you can get up and do maintenance 313 00:18:10,375 --> 00:18:14,695 Speaker 5: work to a certain height. Now, if, for example, you 314 00:18:14,775 --> 00:18:18,375 Speaker 5: need to scaffold an entire elevation because it's weather boards 315 00:18:18,375 --> 00:18:19,975 Speaker 5: and you want to get from one end to a board, 316 00:18:20,375 --> 00:18:23,655 Speaker 5: then typically you'll just go out and get pricing from 317 00:18:23,655 --> 00:18:27,895 Speaker 5: a scaffolder for that work. Prices do vary quite a lot. 318 00:18:27,935 --> 00:18:30,895 Speaker 5: One of the things I've noticed recently is over the years, 319 00:18:30,975 --> 00:18:36,335 Speaker 5: typically if you booked scaffolding, there would be an upfront 320 00:18:36,375 --> 00:18:39,655 Speaker 5: cost that would be for them to arrive, assemble all 321 00:18:39,695 --> 00:18:42,695 Speaker 5: of the scaffolding, ticket it and get it ready, and 322 00:18:42,735 --> 00:18:46,095 Speaker 5: then typically you would have one month's rent included in 323 00:18:46,135 --> 00:18:50,455 Speaker 5: that right, and thereafter you pay on a weekly basis 324 00:18:51,175 --> 00:18:53,335 Speaker 5: for the rent. I've noticed that that one month is 325 00:18:53,375 --> 00:18:57,935 Speaker 5: shortened to one week, so just beware of that too. 326 00:18:58,495 --> 00:19:01,055 Speaker 5: And it's really important that you say to your contractor 327 00:19:01,055 --> 00:19:03,295 Speaker 5: when they're coming to do the work. If I'm going 328 00:19:03,335 --> 00:19:05,895 Speaker 5: to put the scaffolding up, for example, on the first 329 00:19:05,935 --> 00:19:07,935 Speaker 5: of May, I want you there on the first of May. 330 00:19:07,975 --> 00:19:11,615 Speaker 5: I don't want you turning up ten days later, because 331 00:19:11,615 --> 00:19:13,375 Speaker 5: that's that's going to cost you in the long run. 332 00:19:13,735 --> 00:19:16,135 Speaker 5: So I think if it's I would talk to your 333 00:19:16,135 --> 00:19:19,175 Speaker 5: contractor first and go can you provide your own scaffolding, 334 00:19:19,175 --> 00:19:23,175 Speaker 5: which is not uncommon otherwise it is work done by 335 00:19:23,335 --> 00:19:27,615 Speaker 5: qualified people. And they'll come, they'll set it up, they'll 336 00:19:27,615 --> 00:19:30,735 Speaker 5: make sure that there's safe access onto the platform, so 337 00:19:30,775 --> 00:19:33,695 Speaker 5: whether that's a ladder or a platform or set of stairs, 338 00:19:34,935 --> 00:19:37,135 Speaker 5: it doesn't sound like it needs to be that extensive. 339 00:19:37,975 --> 00:19:39,695 Speaker 5: And then they'll come and take it away at the 340 00:19:39,775 --> 00:19:40,335 Speaker 5: end as well. 341 00:19:41,375 --> 00:19:43,775 Speaker 8: And what about safety gear for them to wear them 342 00:19:43,775 --> 00:19:44,295 Speaker 8: when they're up. 343 00:19:44,535 --> 00:19:47,255 Speaker 5: No, I don't believe that you should be supplying any 344 00:19:47,255 --> 00:19:50,535 Speaker 5: safety gear to your contractors. That's their responsibility or that's 345 00:19:50,575 --> 00:19:54,775 Speaker 5: that's the attitude that I would take. And also if 346 00:19:54,775 --> 00:19:58,415 Speaker 5: they're on the scaffold. They don't need to be harnessed 347 00:19:58,495 --> 00:20:00,735 Speaker 5: or anything like that if they're on the scaffold. 348 00:20:02,695 --> 00:20:06,255 Speaker 8: And the scaffolding guy could tell me on this, Oh absolutely. 349 00:20:06,415 --> 00:20:10,255 Speaker 5: But you know, ideally with this sort of thing, you know, 350 00:20:10,415 --> 00:20:13,735 Speaker 5: chances are when you get your builder or your contractor 351 00:20:13,775 --> 00:20:16,535 Speaker 5: to do the work, they will already have contacts and 352 00:20:16,575 --> 00:20:21,095 Speaker 5: relationships with scaffolding contractors. They should be able to help 353 00:20:21,135 --> 00:20:21,455 Speaker 5: you out. 354 00:20:21,975 --> 00:20:25,575 Speaker 8: I just thought i'd give you a corner and good, 355 00:20:25,615 --> 00:20:27,895 Speaker 8: But somebody was up on a roof somewhere and they 356 00:20:27,975 --> 00:20:32,895 Speaker 8: fell off and their love stars not too pretty. Now. 357 00:20:33,255 --> 00:20:37,775 Speaker 5: No, it's look, I've got one project that I'm supervising 358 00:20:37,775 --> 00:20:39,615 Speaker 5: at the moment where the guys will need to be 359 00:20:39,735 --> 00:20:43,095 Speaker 5: on a roof. It's only first floor. And I had 360 00:20:43,175 --> 00:20:46,855 Speaker 5: the guys from Orange Scaffold and on Friday doing edge 361 00:20:46,855 --> 00:20:50,175 Speaker 5: protection all the way around, because I want them to 362 00:20:50,215 --> 00:20:52,695 Speaker 5: be able to work safely, that's the most important thing, 363 00:20:52,695 --> 00:20:55,615 Speaker 5: but also efficiently and not be thinking about, gosh, what 364 00:20:55,655 --> 00:20:58,375 Speaker 5: happens if I slip or whatever, especially at this time 365 00:20:58,415 --> 00:21:00,695 Speaker 5: of year, so edge protection is really important. But it 366 00:21:00,695 --> 00:21:02,575 Speaker 5: sounds like most of the work that you need done 367 00:21:02,775 --> 00:21:05,095 Speaker 5: will be off a scaffold, not necessarily off the roof 368 00:21:06,575 --> 00:21:09,255 Speaker 5: on good luck Ellison sounds thank you very much for 369 00:21:09,375 --> 00:21:11,455 Speaker 5: all of very best to you. You take care, take care. 370 00:21:11,695 --> 00:21:14,735 Speaker 5: Eight hundred eighty ten eighty is that number to call Judy. 371 00:21:14,735 --> 00:21:15,335 Speaker 5: Good morning to. 372 00:21:15,295 --> 00:21:20,455 Speaker 9: You, Oh, good morning, thanks for calling back. I'm going 373 00:21:20,495 --> 00:21:23,615 Speaker 9: to have my roof sprayed for mold and moss yep. 374 00:21:24,175 --> 00:21:28,255 Speaker 9: And do you have to have scaffolding around the house 375 00:21:28,295 --> 00:21:29,055 Speaker 9: for them to do that? 376 00:21:31,295 --> 00:21:36,695 Speaker 5: Not necessarily? And again, like as a homeowner, I guess 377 00:21:36,695 --> 00:21:39,775 Speaker 5: you've got a duty of care to make sure that 378 00:21:39,815 --> 00:21:44,055 Speaker 5: people are safe. But ultimately the contractors themselves, they should 379 00:21:44,055 --> 00:21:46,615 Speaker 5: actually be saying to you, this is how we're going 380 00:21:46,655 --> 00:21:50,015 Speaker 5: to do the job safely. So a lot of contractors 381 00:21:50,055 --> 00:21:52,415 Speaker 5: who will do like roof spraying and treatment and that 382 00:21:52,495 --> 00:21:55,455 Speaker 5: sort of thing, they will wear a harness, they'll have 383 00:21:55,495 --> 00:21:59,055 Speaker 5: an anchor point, they'll have a system, they'll have a 384 00:21:59,095 --> 00:22:01,855 Speaker 5: methodology for going This is how we secure our ropes. 385 00:22:01,935 --> 00:22:04,495 Speaker 5: This is this is the training that we've given to 386 00:22:04,575 --> 00:22:08,695 Speaker 5: our contractors in order for them to act and be 387 00:22:08,775 --> 00:22:11,775 Speaker 5: safe on the roof. And because they're moving around a lot, 388 00:22:11,975 --> 00:22:14,775 Speaker 5: often they will just go ahead and do that with 389 00:22:15,575 --> 00:22:19,535 Speaker 5: a harness for example, and that's completely up to them. Certainly, 390 00:22:20,135 --> 00:22:22,695 Speaker 5: whatever anyone does on the roof, they do need to 391 00:22:22,775 --> 00:22:25,815 Speaker 5: prove that what they're doing is safe right now, whether 392 00:22:25,895 --> 00:22:28,495 Speaker 5: that's edge protection or a harness, that's up to them 393 00:22:28,535 --> 00:22:29,095 Speaker 5: to sort out. 394 00:22:29,815 --> 00:22:33,575 Speaker 9: Well, it seems they've been in the business for since 395 00:22:33,695 --> 00:22:40,135 Speaker 9: nineteen fifty nine and they say there's only one year's guarantee. 396 00:22:40,055 --> 00:22:43,175 Speaker 5: On the seilant right, So is it a concrete tolerance 397 00:22:43,215 --> 00:22:43,495 Speaker 5: for me? 398 00:22:43,935 --> 00:22:46,055 Speaker 9: They're spraying to get rid of the like it a 399 00:22:46,175 --> 00:22:48,815 Speaker 9: moss growing all overrom one side of the house. The 400 00:22:48,855 --> 00:22:52,095 Speaker 9: others are right because one side never gets the sun 401 00:22:52,135 --> 00:22:55,895 Speaker 9: because there's trees about four meters right, and I'm really 402 00:22:55,935 --> 00:23:01,055 Speaker 9: below that as well. So you wouldn't need to be 403 00:23:01,095 --> 00:23:05,335 Speaker 9: paying five hundred dollars every year to get it done. 404 00:23:05,135 --> 00:23:10,215 Speaker 5: Again, No, I mean typically it's up to you, of course, 405 00:23:10,215 --> 00:23:13,615 Speaker 5: but I know that typically if you're going to do that. 406 00:23:13,735 --> 00:23:16,375 Speaker 5: So it's a concrete tile roof, isn't it. No, it's 407 00:23:16,415 --> 00:23:20,055 Speaker 5: just just a metal roof, okay. And what are you seeing? 408 00:23:20,055 --> 00:23:21,895 Speaker 5: Are you seeing like and growing on top of the roof? 409 00:23:21,935 --> 00:23:22,015 Speaker 10: Oh? 410 00:23:22,095 --> 00:23:27,735 Speaker 9: Yes, okay, yeah, definitely on one side they say that 411 00:23:27,815 --> 00:23:32,655 Speaker 9: they use a bron mentally ye, that it's. 412 00:23:35,975 --> 00:23:38,855 Speaker 5: Okay. So they're going to come along, they're going to 413 00:23:38,935 --> 00:23:42,295 Speaker 5: treat it. Are they then going to actively remove it? 414 00:23:42,415 --> 00:23:44,455 Speaker 5: Like is it a two step process or is it 415 00:23:44,495 --> 00:23:47,735 Speaker 5: a one step process? They apply something and then. 416 00:23:47,895 --> 00:23:51,255 Speaker 9: Well, we didn't actually explain it. He just said, you know, 417 00:23:51,295 --> 00:23:54,215 Speaker 9: they were just going to spray it and that would 418 00:23:54,495 --> 00:23:56,855 Speaker 9: take a while for you to see it dying. 419 00:23:57,095 --> 00:23:58,775 Speaker 5: Sure, that's that's to be expected. 420 00:23:58,935 --> 00:24:02,535 Speaker 9: Yeah, and five hundred dollars. That's a reasonable price. 421 00:24:03,775 --> 00:24:06,535 Speaker 5: Yes, I think so. Sorry in my notes, it's is 422 00:24:06,535 --> 00:24:08,535 Speaker 5: that it's five thousand dollars, but it's not as that 423 00:24:08,615 --> 00:24:10,855 Speaker 5: it's five hundred dollars for them to co and treat 424 00:24:10,895 --> 00:24:11,255 Speaker 5: the roof. 425 00:24:11,855 --> 00:24:16,575 Speaker 9: Yeah, and look like, sorry, I don't have to be there. 426 00:24:16,615 --> 00:24:19,815 Speaker 5: They said, no, that's fair enough. Look, I tell you what, 427 00:24:20,175 --> 00:24:23,775 Speaker 5: And I think this is good advice, hopefully for anyone, 428 00:24:24,135 --> 00:24:26,535 Speaker 5: you know, working with someone that they're not familiar with. 429 00:24:26,655 --> 00:24:30,975 Speaker 5: Let's say, is to ask them for a telephone number 430 00:24:31,215 --> 00:24:34,495 Speaker 5: of someone who has had the work done recently, so 431 00:24:34,535 --> 00:24:37,295 Speaker 5: it might be someone like yourself that they did a 432 00:24:37,415 --> 00:24:40,335 Speaker 5: job for three weeks ago, and say, look, could you 433 00:24:40,375 --> 00:24:42,975 Speaker 5: give me a number of someone that is happy to 434 00:24:43,015 --> 00:24:45,975 Speaker 5: talk to me about your work? And then you wring 435 00:24:46,015 --> 00:24:49,295 Speaker 5: them and you go, Hi, it's you know, duty here, 436 00:24:49,655 --> 00:24:51,815 Speaker 5: and I've got this company coming to do the work. 437 00:24:51,855 --> 00:24:54,055 Speaker 5: They did your job a little while ago. Were you 438 00:24:54,095 --> 00:24:54,655 Speaker 5: happy with it? 439 00:24:55,615 --> 00:24:57,535 Speaker 9: Yes, okay, that's fine. 440 00:24:57,615 --> 00:25:00,215 Speaker 5: Yeah I would do that. But otherwise, and look, it 441 00:25:00,295 --> 00:25:03,335 Speaker 5: is actually important to do it because that like and 442 00:25:03,655 --> 00:25:06,695 Speaker 5: growth will actually start to degrade the coating on the 443 00:25:06,735 --> 00:25:09,215 Speaker 5: iron roof, on the color steel roof or whatever. 444 00:25:09,295 --> 00:25:13,415 Speaker 9: But they have given me explain that, Okay, it's worth doing. 445 00:25:13,975 --> 00:25:14,775 Speaker 11: Yeah, oh I know that. 446 00:25:15,015 --> 00:25:16,215 Speaker 9: Well, thanks for your leisure. 447 00:25:16,335 --> 00:25:19,135 Speaker 5: Nice to talk to you all the best. And I 448 00:25:19,175 --> 00:25:22,535 Speaker 5: don't I guess as consumers, As customers, we shouldn't be 449 00:25:22,535 --> 00:25:25,295 Speaker 5: shy about saying, hey, can I talk to someone who 450 00:25:25,335 --> 00:25:29,335 Speaker 5: you did a job for recently? And you know, if 451 00:25:29,375 --> 00:25:34,055 Speaker 5: a contract is reluctant to hand out a number or 452 00:25:34,055 --> 00:25:36,255 Speaker 5: something like that, it might take them a day or so. 453 00:25:36,335 --> 00:25:39,055 Speaker 5: Maybe they'll ring someone and say, look, do you mind 454 00:25:39,095 --> 00:25:41,895 Speaker 5: if in this case, Judy gives you a call to 455 00:25:41,935 --> 00:25:45,735 Speaker 5: talk about the roof treatment. They might want to give 456 00:25:45,775 --> 00:25:50,375 Speaker 5: the get their permission first, or they might either way. 457 00:25:50,735 --> 00:25:53,575 Speaker 5: I think that if you're working with a contractor and 458 00:25:53,575 --> 00:25:56,335 Speaker 5: they're reluctant to let you talk to someone who they've 459 00:25:56,375 --> 00:25:59,575 Speaker 5: worked for previously. Then that's probably a little bit of 460 00:25:59,615 --> 00:26:02,095 Speaker 5: a red flag around how the job's going to go 461 00:26:02,135 --> 00:26:04,655 Speaker 5: at your place as well. Oh, eight hundred and eighty 462 00:26:04,735 --> 00:26:07,375 Speaker 5: ten eighty is the number we need to take a break. 463 00:26:07,415 --> 00:26:09,895 Speaker 5: Should we do that? Let's do that, Paul, we'll talk 464 00:26:09,935 --> 00:26:10,975 Speaker 5: to you straight after the break. 465 00:26:11,575 --> 00:26:13,895 Speaker 2: A squeaky door or it's squeakie floor. 466 00:26:14,095 --> 00:26:17,415 Speaker 1: Get the right advice from Peter Wolfcap, the resident builder 467 00:26:17,655 --> 00:26:18,615 Speaker 1: on Newstalk SEB. 468 00:26:20,175 --> 00:26:22,415 Speaker 5: I'm just thinking back to last week where I got 469 00:26:22,415 --> 00:26:25,015 Speaker 5: on my hobby horse and I rode it into the 470 00:26:25,055 --> 00:26:28,535 Speaker 5: sunset about that article about that was on the front 471 00:26:28,535 --> 00:26:33,335 Speaker 5: page of the Herald around council telling villa owner that 472 00:26:33,375 --> 00:26:37,415 Speaker 5: they needed to remove double glazing because it didn't comply 473 00:26:37,575 --> 00:26:41,175 Speaker 5: with heritage standards and that's a breach of resource consent ETCA, 474 00:26:41,215 --> 00:26:44,015 Speaker 5: except or they needed to get a retrospective resource consent 475 00:26:44,215 --> 00:26:47,775 Speaker 5: for the work that they'd done. Now, frankly, it was misleading. 476 00:26:48,095 --> 00:26:51,735 Speaker 5: We've been through that in the sense that council don't 477 00:26:51,735 --> 00:26:54,135 Speaker 5: have an issue with double glazing. They have an issue 478 00:26:54,135 --> 00:27:01,175 Speaker 5: with unsympathetic aluminium joinery being installed into heritage into a 479 00:27:01,215 --> 00:27:03,895 Speaker 5: heritage building. Right, So the issue is not the double glazing, 480 00:27:04,175 --> 00:27:06,975 Speaker 5: very clear about that. It's not the double glaze. It 481 00:27:07,055 --> 00:27:10,455 Speaker 5: is absolutely about the way in which they went about 482 00:27:10,695 --> 00:27:12,855 Speaker 5: installing the double glazing and the frames that they went 483 00:27:12,895 --> 00:27:16,335 Speaker 5: into anyway, and then I was thinking, shivers, I've done this. 484 00:27:17,695 --> 00:27:21,695 Speaker 5: So I did a renovation a couple of years ago, 485 00:27:21,855 --> 00:27:24,615 Speaker 5: and we've put it together and put a feature up 486 00:27:24,695 --> 00:27:29,015 Speaker 5: on YouTube. So if you want to see what working 487 00:27:29,055 --> 00:27:31,935 Speaker 5: on double hung sash windows looks like in terms of 488 00:27:32,695 --> 00:27:36,775 Speaker 5: upgrading the glazing, repairing them, making sure they function again 489 00:27:36,855 --> 00:27:40,415 Speaker 5: for another hundred years, check out if you just go 490 00:27:40,455 --> 00:27:44,095 Speaker 5: to YouTube and go resident builder and then host project, 491 00:27:44,175 --> 00:27:47,895 Speaker 5: which is Huis, and search for one that says Heritage 492 00:27:47,935 --> 00:27:50,855 Speaker 5: meets hard Work, roof challenges and window upgrades. There's a 493 00:27:50,855 --> 00:27:54,335 Speaker 5: whole series of little videos about the renovation. There's all 494 00:27:54,415 --> 00:27:58,095 Speaker 5: sorts of videos there about installation and compliance and that 495 00:27:58,175 --> 00:27:59,935 Speaker 5: sort of thing. So there's a whole library that we're 496 00:27:59,935 --> 00:28:03,855 Speaker 5: putting together for you on YouTube. So search for resident builder, 497 00:28:04,775 --> 00:28:07,855 Speaker 5: find that there and then have a look through the video. 498 00:28:08,495 --> 00:28:11,415 Speaker 5: The one that's got me working on some double hung 499 00:28:11,455 --> 00:28:14,655 Speaker 5: sash windows is called Heritage meets hard Work, and it's 500 00:28:14,695 --> 00:28:16,215 Speaker 5: all the things that you need to do to get 501 00:28:16,215 --> 00:28:19,055 Speaker 5: your heritage house up to stand it. So hopefully there's 502 00:28:19,055 --> 00:28:21,375 Speaker 5: a little bit of insight into the fact that you 503 00:28:21,455 --> 00:28:26,455 Speaker 5: can actually quite successfully repair and maintain and keep your 504 00:28:26,455 --> 00:28:30,375 Speaker 5: classic timber joinery, as well as upg grading the the 505 00:28:31,815 --> 00:28:34,615 Speaker 5: glazing as well. Right he six forty one here at Newstalk, 506 00:28:34,655 --> 00:28:36,575 Speaker 5: said be paul A very good morning. 507 00:28:37,335 --> 00:28:43,335 Speaker 12: Oh, good morning, Peter. We'd redecorate in the house and 508 00:28:43,415 --> 00:28:48,015 Speaker 12: I bought an oak bed and inside as a temporary table. 509 00:28:48,095 --> 00:28:50,335 Speaker 12: It's been a bit weathered and I had a jar 510 00:28:50,495 --> 00:28:55,015 Speaker 12: of picks a peanut but steed and grain mix. It 511 00:28:55,135 --> 00:28:57,575 Speaker 12: tipped over and all oil went on the wood. It 512 00:28:57,615 --> 00:29:03,775 Speaker 12: made an awesome stain. It's been there for a while. Also, 513 00:29:04,455 --> 00:29:07,335 Speaker 12: years ago they started making plastic posts at Rammed and 514 00:29:07,415 --> 00:29:11,655 Speaker 12: better than they must have had little steel tips on 515 00:29:11,655 --> 00:29:15,535 Speaker 12: the end of them and are strong. And the thing 516 00:29:17,255 --> 00:29:19,895 Speaker 12: I just wondering, when are they going to make plastic girders, 517 00:29:20,055 --> 00:29:21,495 Speaker 12: even if they had a rod in the middle of 518 00:29:21,495 --> 00:29:22,295 Speaker 12: them or something like that. 519 00:29:24,575 --> 00:29:26,575 Speaker 5: I know, the plastic posts that you're talking about. If 520 00:29:26,615 --> 00:29:29,815 Speaker 5: it's the same thing, that's future post, which is a 521 00:29:29,895 --> 00:29:32,655 Speaker 5: really good end use for lots of types of soft 522 00:29:32,655 --> 00:29:37,135 Speaker 5: plastics can be recycled and made into those. I don't 523 00:29:37,135 --> 00:29:43,415 Speaker 5: believe they've got any sort of qualification, let's say, or 524 00:29:44,455 --> 00:29:46,975 Speaker 5: they don't comply in terms of the building code for 525 00:29:48,215 --> 00:29:51,495 Speaker 5: subfloor piles. But where they are fantastic, and i've seen 526 00:29:51,495 --> 00:29:53,855 Speaker 5: them down at field days for example, is you know 527 00:29:53,935 --> 00:29:56,535 Speaker 5: strain a posts than that. I think their intention was 528 00:29:56,575 --> 00:29:59,575 Speaker 5: that it would be a really good substitute for timber 529 00:29:59,615 --> 00:30:03,255 Speaker 5: posts in farming and agriculture. So certainly in terms of farming, 530 00:30:03,535 --> 00:30:07,215 Speaker 5: certainly in terms of on venue and that sort of thing, 531 00:30:07,255 --> 00:30:09,575 Speaker 5: it's great. And I've noticed that they've started to do 532 00:30:10,855 --> 00:30:13,615 Speaker 5: some retaining timbers as well, so heavier ones that you 533 00:30:13,615 --> 00:30:16,495 Speaker 5: could use for raised gardens and so on. So look, 534 00:30:16,495 --> 00:30:21,615 Speaker 5: it's a good option. Hello, I don't know that they've 535 00:30:21,655 --> 00:30:23,975 Speaker 5: tested them for the load bearing. That's in terms of 536 00:30:24,015 --> 00:30:26,935 Speaker 5: getting them compliant with the building code. I think there's 537 00:30:27,055 --> 00:30:29,295 Speaker 5: enough uses for them outside of that that will stick 538 00:30:29,295 --> 00:30:32,055 Speaker 5: to what we know and trust in terms of building. 539 00:30:32,135 --> 00:30:34,775 Speaker 5: But I mean, look, they're phenomenally strong. I've seen them, 540 00:30:34,775 --> 00:30:36,495 Speaker 5: and I've seen some of the stress testing on it. 541 00:30:36,815 --> 00:30:41,135 Speaker 5: They are phenomenal. But you know, it's just not there 542 00:30:41,135 --> 00:30:43,575 Speaker 5: in the building code at the moment. But really interesting 543 00:30:43,615 --> 00:30:46,455 Speaker 5: issue to raise. Actually, field days is craky. When's that? 544 00:30:47,735 --> 00:30:47,975 Speaker 6: I think? 545 00:30:47,975 --> 00:30:51,095 Speaker 5: I'm down there on the thirteenth of June. Starts on 546 00:30:51,175 --> 00:30:53,535 Speaker 5: the twelfth. I'm going to shoot down for the day. 547 00:30:54,735 --> 00:30:57,935 Speaker 5: Heaps to see lots of people to talk to. I've 548 00:30:57,975 --> 00:30:59,615 Speaker 5: only been going for the last couple of years, but 549 00:30:59,695 --> 00:31:03,215 Speaker 5: I really really enjoy it when i'm down there. Had 550 00:31:03,215 --> 00:31:07,015 Speaker 5: a fantastic day on Friday too, wandering through the Stark 551 00:31:08,135 --> 00:31:12,415 Speaker 5: factory looking at how you PVC windows are made. It 552 00:31:12,535 --> 00:31:14,895 Speaker 5: was really fantay. I'll tell you a bit more about 553 00:31:14,975 --> 00:31:17,415 Speaker 5: later on. Oh eight hundred eighteen eighty is the number 554 00:31:17,455 --> 00:31:21,655 Speaker 5: to call. Hey, Harry, good morning to you. Good morning, Harry. 555 00:31:21,695 --> 00:31:22,215 Speaker 13: How are you. 556 00:31:22,455 --> 00:31:24,935 Speaker 5: I'm very well, thanks, sir Bitter. 557 00:31:25,135 --> 00:31:28,175 Speaker 13: I've got a Brivy central heating system in my house. 558 00:31:28,575 --> 00:31:34,455 Speaker 13: It is a twenty kilover high efficiency MULTIPLEX series. Yeah, 559 00:31:34,615 --> 00:31:38,215 Speaker 13: built in two thousand and six, nineteen years ago, and 560 00:31:38,375 --> 00:31:42,135 Speaker 13: every two years they have to service the thing. Yes, 561 00:31:42,255 --> 00:31:45,655 Speaker 13: So when they did it this time, the man said 562 00:31:45,695 --> 00:31:50,015 Speaker 13: that now you have to replace the Fenness, right, that 563 00:31:50,215 --> 00:31:53,775 Speaker 13: is what's available. So I said, you know that's only 564 00:31:53,895 --> 00:31:57,495 Speaker 13: nineteen years old. Oh, they said, we have to replace 565 00:31:57,575 --> 00:32:01,455 Speaker 13: it and to make the meta worse. He said that 566 00:32:01,535 --> 00:32:04,815 Speaker 13: where you got the ceiling entry point, we can't do 567 00:32:04,895 --> 00:32:07,935 Speaker 13: it from there. You have to hear to have a 568 00:32:07,935 --> 00:32:12,335 Speaker 13: new entry point made near the where the fairness is. Right, 569 00:32:13,575 --> 00:32:18,335 Speaker 13: So does the fairness only last nineteen years? 570 00:32:20,015 --> 00:32:23,535 Speaker 5: From my own experience, I'm not particularly familiar with them. 571 00:32:23,895 --> 00:32:26,615 Speaker 5: I think that you know, for something that I guess 572 00:32:26,695 --> 00:32:30,135 Speaker 5: when it's on, like over winter, gets a lot of use, 573 00:32:30,735 --> 00:32:34,935 Speaker 5: then yes, I can imagine that maybe it has reached 574 00:32:34,975 --> 00:32:38,135 Speaker 5: the end of its serviceable life. The challenge, too, is 575 00:32:38,175 --> 00:32:41,415 Speaker 5: that it might be serviceable if you could get parts, 576 00:32:41,455 --> 00:32:46,575 Speaker 5: but not all manufacturers provide parts beyond a certain time, 577 00:32:46,895 --> 00:32:51,535 Speaker 5: which you know is an issue, right, And I think 578 00:32:51,615 --> 00:32:54,895 Speaker 5: there is talk about some government legislation that will mean 579 00:32:54,935 --> 00:32:57,375 Speaker 5: that if you're going to bring a product into the country, 580 00:32:57,815 --> 00:33:01,215 Speaker 5: you're going to have to provide service for it's It 581 00:33:01,255 --> 00:33:03,975 Speaker 5: shouldn't be acceptable. This is just a general thing, not 582 00:33:04,015 --> 00:33:06,695 Speaker 5: necessarily related to what you're talking about. But you know, 583 00:33:07,015 --> 00:33:11,255 Speaker 5: the frustration is, Let's say you buy a toaster, for example, 584 00:33:11,575 --> 00:33:13,655 Speaker 5: and after two years the spring goes in it, and 585 00:33:13,695 --> 00:33:15,695 Speaker 5: you ring the importer and you say, can I have 586 00:33:15,735 --> 00:33:17,495 Speaker 5: a new spring? And they go no, we don't sell 587 00:33:17,535 --> 00:33:20,055 Speaker 5: parts for that, and so the whole thing's rubbish and 588 00:33:20,295 --> 00:33:23,015 Speaker 5: you've been it after a short period of time. Whether 589 00:33:23,095 --> 00:33:25,575 Speaker 5: or not that applies to something that's twenty years old, 590 00:33:26,015 --> 00:33:28,055 Speaker 5: The only thing I could suggest, Harry, is that I'm 591 00:33:28,095 --> 00:33:31,615 Speaker 5: sure there are more than one provider of servicing for 592 00:33:31,655 --> 00:33:35,735 Speaker 5: these units, right, And I would go to another supplier 593 00:33:36,415 --> 00:33:39,335 Speaker 5: or another service provider and say could you please come 594 00:33:39,335 --> 00:33:41,695 Speaker 5: and assess it, and they might say to you, actually, 595 00:33:41,735 --> 00:33:43,695 Speaker 5: you know, we've got some parts for that, and we'll 596 00:33:43,775 --> 00:33:46,535 Speaker 5: keep it going for the next five years. So I 597 00:33:46,575 --> 00:33:49,495 Speaker 5: think my advice would be try and find another contractor 598 00:33:49,495 --> 00:33:51,175 Speaker 5: who could come and have a look at it. You 599 00:33:51,295 --> 00:33:54,935 Speaker 5: may well find that you get a slightly different response 600 00:33:54,935 --> 00:33:57,775 Speaker 5: from them, but otherwise, yes, these things do wear out. 601 00:33:58,775 --> 00:34:02,135 Speaker 5: Ventilation systems, heating systems have an end of life. Be 602 00:34:02,255 --> 00:34:04,615 Speaker 5: nice more than twenty years. But it may well be 603 00:34:04,815 --> 00:34:08,415 Speaker 5: that twenty years is reasonable. But get two people to 604 00:34:08,495 --> 00:34:11,015 Speaker 5: give you advice on that would be my advice. Oh, 605 00:34:11,095 --> 00:34:13,055 Speaker 5: eight hundred eighty ten eighty is the number to call. 606 00:34:13,095 --> 00:34:15,295 Speaker 5: Thanks for you call Harry. We'll talk to Grant after 607 00:34:15,295 --> 00:34:16,255 Speaker 5: the break. 608 00:34:16,255 --> 00:34:20,135 Speaker 1: Helping you get those DIY projects done right.

How are you doing? 621 00:35:02,015 --> 00:35:02,215 Speaker 14: Yeah? 622 00:35:02,255 --> 00:35:05,935 Speaker 15: Good, thanks Peter. I've got a one challenge. I've just 623 00:35:05,975 --> 00:35:11,415 Speaker 15: built two brand new townhouses Dupilus Monoclis plaster down the bottom. 624 00:35:11,535 --> 00:35:16,735 Speaker 15: The top floor is new or aluminium platting, and the 625 00:35:16,815 --> 00:35:20,055 Speaker 15: platting is a gray for ice are quite dark. When 626 00:35:20,095 --> 00:35:23,535 Speaker 15: you're outside the townhouses, you hear a constant cracking, which 627 00:35:23,815 --> 00:35:27,375 Speaker 15: I guess is expansion contraction in the sunlight or not 628 00:35:27,455 --> 00:35:31,135 Speaker 15: even sunlight, just in the in the day and inside 629 00:35:31,455 --> 00:35:33,935 Speaker 15: it sounds like you've got fire where it's going off 630 00:35:34,015 --> 00:35:37,175 Speaker 15: outside in terms of the noise, and when I talk 631 00:35:37,215 --> 00:35:40,815 Speaker 15: to my architect who's they specify the product and try 632 00:35:40,815 --> 00:35:44,495 Speaker 15: to chase up with the manufacturer, there's no engagement on this. 633 00:35:45,295 --> 00:35:48,935 Speaker 15: And is it a implementation challenge I've got or is 634 00:35:48,975 --> 00:35:51,535 Speaker 15: this a consequence of the product that's been specified. 635 00:35:53,255 --> 00:35:57,495 Speaker 5: All metal expands and contracts, right, whether it's aluminum or 636 00:35:57,895 --> 00:36:02,215 Speaker 5: zincaloom or whatever, And so certainly I've heard it where 637 00:36:02,415 --> 00:36:06,015 Speaker 5: roofs will expand and contract and as they do, so 638 00:36:06,095 --> 00:36:10,775 Speaker 5: you you'll hear a noise. I've had it on metal 639 00:36:10,815 --> 00:36:13,895 Speaker 5: cladding as a not aluminium, but metal cladding on the 640 00:36:13,935 --> 00:36:19,135 Speaker 5: exterior of a building, and I think from my experience 641 00:36:19,215 --> 00:36:22,815 Speaker 5: pretty much all of the cladding manufacturers who do various 642 00:36:22,855 --> 00:36:25,615 Speaker 5: types of this type of cladding will say you can 643 00:36:25,695 --> 00:36:29,375 Speaker 5: expect that there will be expansion and contraction and sometimes 644 00:36:29,375 --> 00:36:34,375 Speaker 5: that generates a noise. So it's not uncommon. And I 645 00:36:34,415 --> 00:36:38,335 Speaker 5: guess if it's a darker color and it's facing north 646 00:36:38,535 --> 00:36:41,735 Speaker 5: and it's a particularly long hot summer, then I think 647 00:36:41,815 --> 00:36:45,415 Speaker 5: you'll you'll that will be more noticeable. There's also ways 648 00:36:45,415 --> 00:36:48,415 Speaker 5: of ensuring that you like. For example, it's really important 649 00:36:48,935 --> 00:36:51,495 Speaker 5: with the installation of some of these systems, and each 650 00:36:51,575 --> 00:36:55,295 Speaker 5: system is different, right, so I can only make broad comments, 651 00:36:55,335 --> 00:36:58,135 Speaker 5: but I know for some systems they work on the 652 00:36:58,175 --> 00:37:01,695 Speaker 5: basis that the actual cladding, the bit that you see 653 00:37:02,295 --> 00:37:05,495 Speaker 5: is while it's fixed, it's not fastened, so there is 654 00:37:05,655 --> 00:37:09,735 Speaker 5: room for to move. Other systems where they're they're direct 655 00:37:09,775 --> 00:37:14,135 Speaker 5: fixed in you'll have tension and compression because they're fixed 656 00:37:14,135 --> 00:37:17,335 Speaker 5: at either end, and you'll have some movement in between there, 657 00:37:17,335 --> 00:37:22,335 Speaker 5: and that can generate some noise. These So it was 658 00:37:22,375 --> 00:37:25,775 Speaker 5: specified by the architect you've had it installed. Was it 659 00:37:25,815 --> 00:37:30,895 Speaker 5: installed by the contractor provided by the supplier of the 660 00:37:30,935 --> 00:37:33,495 Speaker 5: product or was it a separate contractor who did it. 661 00:37:34,335 --> 00:37:37,335 Speaker 15: A separate contractor did it licensed building practitioner? 662 00:37:37,535 --> 00:37:39,975 Speaker 5: Okay? Do you know whether they did it in accordance 663 00:37:40,015 --> 00:37:42,535 Speaker 5: with the specifications from the product supplier. 664 00:37:43,775 --> 00:37:46,455 Speaker 15: The contract required them to do so, and they receive 665 00:37:46,535 --> 00:37:48,135 Speaker 15: the specifications from the architect. 666 00:37:49,415 --> 00:37:50,575 Speaker 5: But did they do it? 667 00:37:51,655 --> 00:37:52,135 Speaker 7: I don't know. 668 00:37:52,615 --> 00:37:55,935 Speaker 5: Okay, that's that's going to be your first thing to 669 00:37:55,975 --> 00:37:59,295 Speaker 5: look at, right. So, and this is again this is 670 00:37:59,295 --> 00:38:04,175 Speaker 5: a general comments. As contractors, we might get specifications for 671 00:38:04,215 --> 00:38:08,655 Speaker 5: all sorts of products and and like you know, doing 672 00:38:08,695 --> 00:38:10,695 Speaker 5: your earfix model as a kid, you don't always read 673 00:38:10,735 --> 00:38:14,135 Speaker 5: the instructions to be blunt. So I would go back 674 00:38:14,175 --> 00:38:16,695 Speaker 5: in the first instance to the person that installed it 675 00:38:17,215 --> 00:38:20,175 Speaker 5: and say, did you install it exactly as per the 676 00:38:20,215 --> 00:38:24,175 Speaker 5: instructions and as per the specifications, And then if they're 677 00:38:24,215 --> 00:38:26,455 Speaker 5: saying that it is, then maybe you have someone come 678 00:38:26,495 --> 00:38:30,095 Speaker 5: and independently check that in fact they have done the 679 00:38:30,135 --> 00:38:33,975 Speaker 5: installation correctly, because again, and I'm not suggesting it's the 680 00:38:34,015 --> 00:38:37,695 Speaker 5: case in your specific instance, but I do know of 681 00:38:37,975 --> 00:38:42,655 Speaker 5: situations where a contractor has not followed the instructions, has 682 00:38:42,735 --> 00:38:45,495 Speaker 5: installed the product, has installed it on the wrong type 683 00:38:45,495 --> 00:38:48,095 Speaker 5: of bat and use the wrong type of fixing those 684 00:38:48,135 --> 00:38:51,655 Speaker 5: sorts of things, and it's been effectively non compliant as 685 00:38:51,655 --> 00:38:54,215 Speaker 5: a result. So a little bit of detective work, I'm 686 00:38:54,255 --> 00:38:59,215 Speaker 5: afraid on your part and check that first, maybe get 687 00:38:59,215 --> 00:39:01,935 Speaker 5: someone else who's experience with the system to come out 688 00:39:02,015 --> 00:39:05,255 Speaker 5: and have a look and determine whether there's any initial faults. 689 00:39:06,375 --> 00:39:10,375 Speaker 5: And then, as per the article that was in the 690 00:39:10,375 --> 00:39:13,775 Speaker 5: paper yesterday, I think the comment from the supplier there was, 691 00:39:13,895 --> 00:39:17,135 Speaker 5: you know, we we do know that it does expand 692 00:39:17,175 --> 00:39:20,415 Speaker 5: and contract and that causes noise. Most of that noise 693 00:39:20,495 --> 00:39:23,295 Speaker 5: is within a certain tolerance level. Right, So if you 694 00:39:23,335 --> 00:39:26,175 Speaker 5: feel it's outside of that tolerance level, then you'd go 695 00:39:26,295 --> 00:39:29,295 Speaker 5: back to the installer and to the manufacturer and go, hey, 696 00:39:29,375 --> 00:39:31,695 Speaker 5: let's come out, let's do some testing and see what 697 00:39:31,895 --> 00:39:35,695 Speaker 5: is causing the issues. Okay, yeah, good approach, Thank you, 698 00:39:35,695 --> 00:39:38,575 Speaker 5: good luck, all right, all the best. But first stoppers 699 00:39:38,775 --> 00:39:40,175 Speaker 5: is to go back and talk to the guy that 700 00:39:40,295 --> 00:39:42,735 Speaker 5: installed it and go how'd you do it? And did 701 00:39:42,815 --> 00:39:43,535 Speaker 5: you do it correctly? 702 00:39:44,775 --> 00:39:44,975 Speaker 2: Great? 703 00:39:45,095 --> 00:39:47,535 Speaker 5: All right, all the best, Thanks a lot, take care. 704 00:39:48,615 --> 00:39:51,215 Speaker 5: And I say this because you know, increasingly, lots of 705 00:39:51,255 --> 00:39:55,775 Speaker 5: systems that we use in construction are you know, they've 706 00:39:55,815 --> 00:39:59,695 Speaker 5: been specifically designed to perform in a particular way when 707 00:39:59,815 --> 00:40:02,775 Speaker 5: you build it as per the specification. So you know, 708 00:40:02,815 --> 00:40:06,815 Speaker 5: if the boffins that have developed cladding system or a 709 00:40:06,975 --> 00:40:10,215 Speaker 5: bracing system or whatever type of system that we might 710 00:40:10,255 --> 00:40:14,735 Speaker 5: have in terms of house building, there'll be you know, 711 00:40:14,895 --> 00:40:20,215 Speaker 5: specific fastness, specific types of brackets, specific distances, all of 712 00:40:20,255 --> 00:40:24,895 Speaker 5: these things. All of these tolerances are developed during the 713 00:40:24,935 --> 00:40:29,255 Speaker 5: product development and then that's included in the specifications and 714 00:40:29,295 --> 00:40:32,855 Speaker 5: the installation guides, and the expectation is that then when 715 00:40:32,895 --> 00:40:35,375 Speaker 5: it gets to site, that it's done as per the 716 00:40:35,415 --> 00:40:39,335 Speaker 5: specifications and to be fair. It's not uncommon to find 717 00:40:39,375 --> 00:40:42,775 Speaker 5: that products have been installed not as per the specification, 718 00:40:43,175 --> 00:40:45,615 Speaker 5: and it's no surprises then that we might have issues 719 00:40:45,615 --> 00:40:48,735 Speaker 5: with it. Right, We'll continue talking all things building and 720 00:40:48,815 --> 00:40:52,095 Speaker 5: construction after the news at seven o'clock.

For one 736 00:41:41,175 --> 00:41:44,615 Speaker 5: of our earlier callers, that was Trevor, he was talking 737 00:41:44,655 --> 00:41:47,175 Speaker 5: about the fact that they've actually it turns out they're 738 00:41:47,175 --> 00:41:51,095 Speaker 5: in a Lockwood Home, so you know circa sometime late 739 00:41:51,175 --> 00:41:55,295 Speaker 5: nineteen seventies early or eighties roughly, and it has a 740 00:41:56,015 --> 00:42:00,815 Speaker 5: plumbing as in a piping system called Duck's Quest. It's 741 00:42:01,335 --> 00:42:06,215 Speaker 5: well known for failures, and I think it's not un 742 00:42:06,615 --> 00:42:09,935 Speaker 5: to say that almost everyone who has had it installed 743 00:42:10,055 --> 00:42:11,975 Speaker 5: or it was in their house as part of the 744 00:42:11,975 --> 00:42:14,855 Speaker 5: new build or innovation, has had problems with it. So 745 00:42:14,895 --> 00:42:19,495 Speaker 5: a couple of people have suggested, well, here's a good one. 746 00:42:19,575 --> 00:42:22,215 Speaker 5: Lockwood's packed the wall out fifty mili overlay with matching 747 00:42:22,255 --> 00:42:24,935 Speaker 5: timberge and then just move the bath. Done it a 748 00:42:25,015 --> 00:42:28,655 Speaker 5: couple of times. It's easy enough. I thought that was 749 00:42:28,815 --> 00:42:33,855 Speaker 5: very good. Someone asking did the previous owner know about that? Well, 750 00:42:34,055 --> 00:42:35,575 Speaker 5: I think he's owned the house for a number of 751 00:42:35,695 --> 00:42:38,895 Speaker 5: years twenty twelve. I mean, look, any liability would be 752 00:42:38,935 --> 00:42:43,295 Speaker 5: long past, and I think too the disclosure duty to 753 00:42:43,375 --> 00:42:47,695 Speaker 5: disclose was probably quite different in twenty twelve than it 754 00:42:47,775 --> 00:42:50,695 Speaker 5: might be today in terms of real estate. Thanks for 755 00:42:50,735 --> 00:42:55,175 Speaker 5: the advice Rey the Ducks or Quest Ducks pipe failure. 756 00:42:55,175 --> 00:42:58,055 Speaker 5: Our plumber said that if we ever wanted to sell 757 00:42:58,095 --> 00:43:00,495 Speaker 5: our house, we'd have to inform the buyer that the 758 00:43:00,535 --> 00:43:04,695 Speaker 5: house still has some of that ducks in it. Yeah, 759 00:43:04,735 --> 00:43:07,175 Speaker 5: I tend to agree. It'll be that sort of thing 760 00:43:07,175 --> 00:43:09,375 Speaker 5: that if the real estate agent sits down with you 761 00:43:10,175 --> 00:43:12,615 Speaker 5: when they do their sale and purchase agreement or when 762 00:43:12,975 --> 00:43:15,215 Speaker 5: they you've got a contract with them, they will say 763 00:43:15,215 --> 00:43:17,615 Speaker 5: to you, is there anything about the house that you 764 00:43:17,655 --> 00:43:19,855 Speaker 5: need to disclose? And if you are aware and you 765 00:43:19,935 --> 00:43:22,375 Speaker 5: choose not to disclose it, then you could be held 766 00:43:22,495 --> 00:43:26,575 Speaker 5: liable for that. I understand later on. So yeah, if 767 00:43:26,695 --> 00:43:29,815 Speaker 5: you know it's a problem, then you have to disclose 768 00:43:29,855 --> 00:43:32,575 Speaker 5: the fact that it's it is a problem. Or if 769 00:43:32,575 --> 00:43:35,175 Speaker 5: it was a problem and you've fixed it, then that's great. 770 00:43:35,815 --> 00:43:38,775 Speaker 5: Oh eight hundred eighty eighty is that number to call? 771 00:43:38,895 --> 00:43:40,575 Speaker 5: Don A very good morning to you. 772 00:43:41,535 --> 00:43:44,095 Speaker 16: Yes, good morning to you, Peter.

I think that 794 00:44:47,055 --> 00:44:47,695 Speaker 16: brought the people in. 795 00:44:48,735 --> 00:44:51,735 Speaker 5: Yeah, and yeah, because actually I was going to ask 796 00:44:52,055 --> 00:44:54,615 Speaker 5: in terms of like okay, so you know I could 797 00:44:54,655 --> 00:44:57,495 Speaker 5: bash something out super fast, right, but it'll be rubbish. 798 00:44:58,015 --> 00:45:01,655 Speaker 5: There is there a bit of a it's got to 799 00:45:01,655 --> 00:45:04,015 Speaker 5: be at least half way reasonable in terms of quality. 800 00:45:04,815 --> 00:45:09,055 Speaker 16: Oh yes, in judgment and it you know, right, you 801 00:45:09,135 --> 00:45:10,935 Speaker 16: turn the body out and it's so much for becoming 802 00:45:10,935 --> 00:45:14,095 Speaker 16: off fairs, but of course it's a there's the shape 803 00:45:14,095 --> 00:45:16,175 Speaker 16: of the ball comes into consideration by the judge and 804 00:45:16,215 --> 00:45:19,775 Speaker 16: also the consistency through the thickness and all that. They 805 00:45:19,775 --> 00:45:21,575 Speaker 16: get points off for all of that, so it's got 806 00:45:21,615 --> 00:45:23,375 Speaker 16: to be a reasonable sort of ball that comes off 807 00:45:23,375 --> 00:45:23,535 Speaker 16: of it. 808 00:45:23,655 --> 00:45:23,855 Speaker 2: Yeah. 809 00:45:23,935 --> 00:45:27,295 Speaker 5: Yeah, And they're all using the same size stock, aren't they. 810 00:45:28,055 --> 00:45:31,255 Speaker 16: Yes, Yeah, yes, yes, they went through with it. I 811 00:45:31,255 --> 00:45:35,295 Speaker 16: think it was seventy five millimeters what by one hundred 812 00:45:35,295 --> 00:45:37,815 Speaker 16: and fifty millimeters and it was and all the blinks 813 00:45:37,815 --> 00:45:39,535 Speaker 16: were the same. It was mecro carp Yeah. 814 00:45:39,735 --> 00:45:43,975 Speaker 5: Nice, nice, look. I think it's a fabulous event. And 815 00:45:44,015 --> 00:45:47,935 Speaker 5: I think too, you kind of get a sense that 816 00:45:48,095 --> 00:45:51,935 Speaker 5: lots of people are looking to return to I guess 817 00:45:51,975 --> 00:45:54,735 Speaker 5: traditional crafts like wood turning. Of wood turning has been 818 00:45:54,775 --> 00:45:59,095 Speaker 5: around for hundreds of years in various forms.

Good on you, and it is really important. 869 00:48:55,135 --> 00:48:58,335 Speaker 5: And I was reading a condition report for a building 870 00:48:58,415 --> 00:49:02,055 Speaker 5: the other day, and the building surveyor who was commissioned 871 00:49:02,055 --> 00:49:04,615 Speaker 5: to do the report pointed out the fact that there 872 00:49:04,815 --> 00:49:08,215 Speaker 5: was the beginning of some like that was growing on 873 00:49:08,255 --> 00:49:11,895 Speaker 5: the roof and the recommendations removed that before it impacts 874 00:49:11,895 --> 00:49:15,295 Speaker 5: on the coating and potentially shortens the life span of 875 00:49:15,335 --> 00:49:17,495 Speaker 5: the roof. So if it is on your roof, you 876 00:49:17,535 --> 00:49:20,095 Speaker 5: should get it treated and obviously get it treated by 877 00:49:20,175 --> 00:49:22,855 Speaker 5: someone who knows what they're doing.

Just having a query on I just 894 00:50:11,095 --> 00:50:14,215 Speaker 17: had a kitchen greenow done and basically I had the 895 00:50:14,255 --> 00:50:19,575 Speaker 17: equal put HBO and all the kitchen stuff in and 896 00:50:19,935 --> 00:50:24,455 Speaker 17: the sparking that did the young Fellows been back through 897 00:50:24,575 --> 00:50:28,495 Speaker 17: times to deal with the issues with it just not 898 00:50:28,615 --> 00:50:31,895 Speaker 17: fitting in probably or had me fitting in properly, and 899 00:50:32,055 --> 00:50:35,775 Speaker 17: I'm just wanting to know where do I stand in 900 00:50:35,855 --> 00:50:37,575 Speaker 17: this issue. I'm going to go back to this spark 901 00:50:37,615 --> 00:50:41,295 Speaker 17: you tomorrow. You know, one of the people that are 902 00:50:42,055 --> 00:50:46,135 Speaker 17: based on whoever was put on to me, they have 903 00:50:46,255 --> 00:50:48,375 Speaker 17: a lot to see what I can do with it, 904 00:50:48,455 --> 00:50:52,415 Speaker 17: you know, because it's not not very satisfactory. It's just 905 00:50:52,895 --> 00:50:54,575 Speaker 17: he's where he's tolled the holes in his head and 906 00:50:54,615 --> 00:50:56,335 Speaker 17: put the brackets on the back of the wall, you 907 00:50:56,375 --> 00:50:59,815 Speaker 17: know that, and it just looked ugly. It wasn't even 908 00:51:00,535 --> 00:51:02,935 Speaker 17: you know, for the money I've paid paid the spark 909 00:51:02,935 --> 00:51:06,015 Speaker 17: you to do the job. I don't think you should 910 00:51:06,015 --> 00:51:10,295 Speaker 17: be paid because it's just a shocking workmanship on behalf 911 00:51:10,335 --> 00:51:10,855 Speaker 17: of the worker. 912 00:51:11,655 --> 00:51:15,015 Speaker 5: I think in the first instance, if he's an employee 913 00:51:15,015 --> 00:51:17,335 Speaker 5: of a firm, right, I would get in touch with 914 00:51:17,375 --> 00:51:21,695 Speaker 5: the boss and get the boss out immediately. And then 915 00:51:21,895 --> 00:51:24,975 Speaker 5: if you feel that you're still getting the run around, 916 00:51:24,975 --> 00:51:30,415 Speaker 5: basically I'd be inclined maybe to get a registered electrical 917 00:51:30,615 --> 00:51:33,935 Speaker 5: inspector to come out and determine have a look at 918 00:51:33,935 --> 00:51:38,615 Speaker 5: the work, because electricians are interesting for a number of 919 00:51:38,615 --> 00:51:44,095 Speaker 5: different reasons, but as a trade they self certify, right, 920 00:51:44,215 --> 00:51:46,615 Speaker 5: So if you're building a house or doing a renovation, 921 00:51:47,255 --> 00:51:50,895 Speaker 5: no one other than the electrician and an electrical inspector 922 00:51:51,095 --> 00:51:54,855 Speaker 5: will determine whether or not the work is compliant, right, Yes, 923 00:51:55,855 --> 00:52:00,495 Speaker 5: So it's a little bit different too. Let's say builders, 924 00:52:00,495 --> 00:52:03,295 Speaker 5: for example, and even plumbers where typically will do the 925 00:52:03,335 --> 00:52:05,695 Speaker 5: work and then a building inspector or a plumbing inspector 926 00:52:05,735 --> 00:52:07,535 Speaker 5: will determine and whether or not the work is up 927 00:52:07,575 --> 00:52:11,455 Speaker 5: to standard and sure pass right. So, in that sense, 928 00:52:11,535 --> 00:52:16,175 Speaker 5: there is more responsibility on electricians to do work according 929 00:52:16,215 --> 00:52:20,415 Speaker 5: to their regulations correctly all of the time. So if 930 00:52:20,775 --> 00:52:23,455 Speaker 5: for example, the young fellow who's been on site hasn't 931 00:52:23,455 --> 00:52:25,175 Speaker 5: done a great job, talk to the boss. If the 932 00:52:25,215 --> 00:52:28,255 Speaker 5: boss is unresponsive, I would go to an electrical inspector 933 00:52:28,535 --> 00:52:31,335 Speaker 5: and then they have their own disciplinary process after that. 934 00:52:31,575 --> 00:52:34,295 Speaker 17: Yeah, okay, yeah, because I did. The boss had come 935 00:52:34,295 --> 00:52:35,855 Speaker 17: out and have look at yourself, get it right for 936 00:52:35,975 --> 00:52:40,295 Speaker 17: your Friday. And then he did come out and wasn't 937 00:52:40,335 --> 00:52:43,015 Speaker 17: really happy to do the job, you know, like refix 938 00:52:43,095 --> 00:52:46,135 Speaker 17: it all up and where he put the screw holes 939 00:52:46,175 --> 00:52:48,935 Speaker 17: and they went even even nothing like that, and they 940 00:52:49,055 --> 00:52:52,375 Speaker 17: went the proper screws that they were with the kiss 941 00:52:52,415 --> 00:52:56,135 Speaker 17: ringing over that, and so I unscrewed it like Friday 942 00:52:56,255 --> 00:52:58,295 Speaker 17: night and just said, oh, I'm not putting it up. 943 00:52:58,295 --> 00:53:02,095 Speaker 17: Whether I took photos and I asked him to left 944 00:53:02,095 --> 00:53:04,415 Speaker 17: a note from him to take photos off the start 945 00:53:04,495 --> 00:53:07,935 Speaker 17: job and that, and he wasn't happy to do even that, 946 00:53:08,095 --> 00:53:11,015 Speaker 17: and yeah, he reckons you seek the photos for me? 947 00:53:11,495 --> 00:53:13,375 Speaker 17: Who he hasn't done that at all, And I think 948 00:53:13,415 --> 00:53:15,335 Speaker 17: he has one to show his boss. 949 00:53:15,135 --> 00:53:18,335 Speaker 5: And also I think it's I think it's time to 950 00:53:18,335 --> 00:53:19,015 Speaker 5: get the boss out. 951 00:53:19,655 --> 00:53:21,175 Speaker 17: Yeah, yeah, I think I need to go get him 952 00:53:21,175 --> 00:53:24,535 Speaker 17: back out again, absolutely and do it because it's just 953 00:53:24,535 --> 00:53:27,175 Speaker 17: a lot of money if paid out for it. It's 954 00:53:27,655 --> 00:53:30,455 Speaker 17: my wave, a home at the stage. 955 00:53:30,215 --> 00:53:31,975 Speaker 7: And you want it to be right. 956 00:53:32,735 --> 00:53:35,215 Speaker 17: Yeah, I need to get it right. Yeah, definitely, right. 957 00:53:35,175 --> 00:53:37,135 Speaker 5: Get the boss out in the first instance, and then 958 00:53:37,255 --> 00:53:39,775 Speaker 5: electrical inspector after that, and then there is actually a 959 00:53:39,815 --> 00:53:42,495 Speaker 5: disciplinary board that they have as I understand it as well. 960 00:53:42,575 --> 00:53:45,415 Speaker 5: So good luck with that, Bernie and Mike. 961 00:53:46,255 --> 00:53:49,055 Speaker 18: Get oh how are you this morning? 962 00:53:49,295 --> 00:53:50,375 Speaker 5: Very well?

Look, I've got a property account for about thirty years. 964 00:53:55,775 --> 00:53:58,415 Speaker 18: Thinking about two thousand and eighteen, I think it was 965 00:53:58,495 --> 00:54:01,975 Speaker 18: we we did some innovations in the building of a 966 00:54:02,055 --> 00:54:05,015 Speaker 18: bit of a shorty job yep, and we never got 967 00:54:05,015 --> 00:54:07,535 Speaker 18: to build a building code tients.

So 974 00:54:27,415 --> 00:54:30,055 Speaker 5: a building consent was issued for the work and then 975 00:54:30,135 --> 00:54:33,335 Speaker 5: the work was done, Yes, it was, yes, okay, And 976 00:54:33,455 --> 00:54:37,215 Speaker 5: the building consent didn't get signed off the building. 977 00:54:37,015 --> 00:54:40,775 Speaker 18: The building consent inspections some of them got signed off, 978 00:54:40,935 --> 00:54:43,695 Speaker 18: but the coding compliance we just knew got it was 979 00:54:43,735 --> 00:54:46,335 Speaker 18: to bands like with the builder. 980 00:54:46,415 --> 00:54:48,895 Speaker 5: Yeah, I know, it's me so we're looking looking to. 981 00:54:48,935 --> 00:54:51,095 Speaker 18: Sell the place, and the building inspector's been out and 982 00:54:51,175 --> 00:54:53,535 Speaker 18: he's gone around and given a solista some of the 983 00:54:53,575 --> 00:54:55,575 Speaker 18: things that he's seen a. 984 00:54:55,615 --> 00:54:57,935 Speaker 5: Building inspectors in the council Building inspector. 985 00:54:58,335 --> 00:55:02,375 Speaker 18: Yes, yes, yes, and so we can get those fixed. 986 00:55:03,175 --> 00:55:06,815 Speaker 18: But I'm still unsure as to you know, when I 987 00:55:06,895 --> 00:55:10,775 Speaker 18: go back and sell down all these senisters.

Actually 989 00:55:13,615 --> 00:55:16,255 Speaker 18: they might still not pass it because the whole house 990 00:55:16,255 --> 00:55:18,695 Speaker 18: wouldn't be compliant now because it's top so long go, 991 00:55:18,815 --> 00:55:22,895 Speaker 18: the insulation wouldn't very right. And do I have to 992 00:55:22,935 --> 00:55:24,535 Speaker 18: bring it all up to speed or is it just 993 00:55:24,655 --> 00:55:27,055 Speaker 18: what the building the council buildings peck yourselves and what 994 00:55:27,175 --> 00:55:27,575 Speaker 18: I have to do. 995 00:55:28,535 --> 00:55:30,615 Speaker 5: Just do what the building inspector asked you to do. 996 00:55:30,855 --> 00:55:34,215 Speaker 5: So if you've gone effectively you've asked for a final 997 00:55:34,295 --> 00:55:37,455 Speaker 5: inspection again, they've come out, they've given you a list 998 00:55:37,535 --> 00:55:40,615 Speaker 5: of things to do. Do exactly what's on the list. 999 00:55:40,935 --> 00:55:44,215 Speaker 5: Try and get the same building inspector back. They will 1000 00:55:44,335 --> 00:55:47,215 Speaker 5: tick that off and then you can make an application 1001 00:55:47,495 --> 00:55:53,375 Speaker 5: for a CCC. Now that process is always the homeowner's responsibility, 1002 00:55:53,575 --> 00:55:57,175 Speaker 5: and twenty eighteen not actually that long ago. They will 1003 00:55:57,295 --> 00:56:02,055 Speaker 5: want things like producer statements, record of works from your builder. 1004 00:56:03,135 --> 00:56:07,455 Speaker 5: They'll want certain warranty documents and so on. Get it 1005 00:56:07,615 --> 00:56:14,095 Speaker 5: done because I guess, and this is me speaking professionally 1006 00:56:14,175 --> 00:56:18,135 Speaker 5: as well, I will do pre purchase inspections from time 1007 00:56:18,215 --> 00:56:21,495 Speaker 5: to time. My attitude years ago was, if you've had 1008 00:56:21,535 --> 00:56:26,055 Speaker 5: a building like yours, you could make a determination and 1009 00:56:26,135 --> 00:56:28,535 Speaker 5: go look on the balance of probabilities. You could sort 1010 00:56:28,575 --> 00:56:30,815 Speaker 5: it out later on if you bought it right. My 1011 00:56:30,975 --> 00:56:34,655 Speaker 5: advice these days is to say to someone who's looking 1012 00:56:34,695 --> 00:56:37,015 Speaker 5: at a building, So if I was acting for someone 1013 00:56:37,055 --> 00:56:39,415 Speaker 5: who might be interested in your house, I would say 1014 00:56:39,455 --> 00:56:42,895 Speaker 5: to them, make sure that you might get the CCC 1015 00:56:43,135 --> 00:56:47,055 Speaker 5: for it. Don't take on that responsibility later on because 1016 00:56:47,095 --> 00:56:53,455 Speaker 5: it can be difficult. So I think it any money 1017 00:56:53,535 --> 00:56:56,415 Speaker 5: that you spend getting your house up and getting a 1018 00:56:56,495 --> 00:56:58,975 Speaker 5: CCC for it is money well spent. 1019 00:57:00,295 --> 00:57:04,375 Speaker 18: It would be my advice, right, And is there other 1020 00:57:04,415 --> 00:57:07,415 Speaker 18: people that can, like, can I go and get someone 1021 00:57:07,495 --> 00:57:12,455 Speaker 18: else that comes and speaks it and gives me a 1022 00:57:12,575 --> 00:57:14,775 Speaker 18: producer savment or something that sees that you know that 1023 00:57:14,855 --> 00:57:16,535 Speaker 18: it's wanted, which means. 1024 00:57:17,295 --> 00:57:20,455 Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean the best people to engage for that, 1025 00:57:22,175 --> 00:57:26,615 Speaker 5: but there are fees involved. Obviously would be a building 1026 00:57:26,695 --> 00:57:31,175 Speaker 5: survey as a registered building surveyor, because they're obviously familiar 1027 00:57:31,255 --> 00:57:35,535 Speaker 5: with the code and the code requirements and they will also, 1028 00:57:37,095 --> 00:57:40,335 Speaker 5: like I'm contracting a building surveyor at the moment to 1029 00:57:40,455 --> 00:57:43,695 Speaker 5: prepare a report that I can give to counsel to 1030 00:57:44,375 --> 00:57:46,815 Speaker 5: prove to counsel that the cladding is going to be 1031 00:57:47,015 --> 00:57:50,775 Speaker 5: durable and complies with the durability requirements of the code. Right, 1032 00:57:50,855 --> 00:57:54,735 Speaker 5: so it performs. Okay, now that's something that I'm familiar with, 1033 00:57:55,095 --> 00:57:57,255 Speaker 5: but I don't have the level of qualification in order 1034 00:57:57,335 --> 00:58:00,055 Speaker 5: to do that, and so I've contracted on behalf of 1035 00:58:00,135 --> 00:58:04,015 Speaker 5: my client to get a registered building surveyor to undertake that. 1036 00:58:05,175 --> 00:58:07,935 Speaker 5: So you may find that you end up getting a 1037 00:58:08,055 --> 00:58:11,695 Speaker 5: registered building survey. So it's either just go to ends 1038 00:58:11,855 --> 00:58:15,775 Speaker 5: ibs dot org so use it or building survey dot 1039 00:58:15,855 --> 00:58:19,055 Speaker 5: org dot enz scroll through and you'll find people in 1040 00:58:19,135 --> 00:58:21,135 Speaker 5: your area and then then go from there. 1041 00:58:21,855 --> 00:58:23,135 Speaker 18: Okay, all right, okay, but. 1042 00:58:23,895 --> 00:58:25,655 Speaker 5: You know it's it's a lot of work, but I 1043 00:58:25,815 --> 00:58:28,695 Speaker 5: assure you if you get it done, it's it's so 1044 00:58:28,935 --> 00:58:31,975 Speaker 5: much in your interest to get it done. Okay, all right, 1045 00:58:32,175 --> 00:58:35,975 Speaker 5: all the very best to you. Take care. Oh yeah, 1046 00:58:35,975 --> 00:58:37,815 Speaker 5: there's a bit of work involved in that, right to you. 1047 00:58:38,855 --> 00:58:43,095 Speaker 5: Let's talk painting, and I'm going to start off by going, Jay, 1048 00:58:44,215 --> 00:58:45,175 Speaker 5: how are you mate? 1049 00:58:46,415 --> 00:58:48,655 Speaker 4: Just listening to the last couple of questions, it sounds 1050 00:58:48,655 --> 00:58:52,055 Speaker 4: like it's a curly morning, and to. 1051 00:58:52,135 --> 00:58:55,615 Speaker 5: Be fair, it's it's only going to get curlier. I'll 1052 00:58:55,655 --> 00:58:57,535 Speaker 5: tell you what actually, just can we get a comment 1053 00:58:57,615 --> 00:59:02,615 Speaker 5: from you. The other day, I've been doing some work 1054 00:59:02,655 --> 00:59:05,655 Speaker 5: and I had some decking timber that turned up unprimed, right, 1055 00:59:05,735 --> 00:59:08,015 Speaker 5: So that was it's simple. It's it's h three point 1056 00:59:08,055 --> 00:59:11,535 Speaker 5: two timber. It's it's all dressed and ready to go, 1057 00:59:12,135 --> 00:59:14,615 Speaker 5: so obviously it needs a primer. So I used an 1058 00:59:14,615 --> 00:59:18,175 Speaker 5: oil based primer. Then, as for your advice, I've I've 1059 00:59:18,215 --> 00:59:20,895 Speaker 5: applied another coat of quick dry over the top of that. 1060 00:59:21,455 --> 00:59:23,735 Speaker 5: Then once it went down and I'd done all the priming, 1061 00:59:23,935 --> 00:59:26,975 Speaker 5: I've I've put my lumbersider over the top. So, but 1062 00:59:27,135 --> 00:59:29,535 Speaker 5: then the other day I bought a post that was 1063 00:59:29,775 --> 00:59:33,375 Speaker 5: pre primed, and a lot of timber that supplied for 1064 00:59:33,535 --> 00:59:37,695 Speaker 5: exterior cladding comes pre primed. I took the approach that 1065 00:59:37,855 --> 00:59:41,735 Speaker 5: that's kind of just a factory coat, and so once 1066 00:59:41,815 --> 00:59:43,895 Speaker 5: i'd finished working on the post, I gave it a 1067 00:59:43,975 --> 00:59:46,175 Speaker 5: light sand and take much to sand some of that 1068 00:59:46,255 --> 00:59:50,375 Speaker 5: primer off, and then re primed it with oil base. Again, 1069 00:59:51,175 --> 00:59:55,735 Speaker 5: is that generally what you would advise for pre primed boards. 1070 00:59:57,295 --> 00:59:57,455 Speaker 2: Ok. 1071 00:59:58,015 --> 01:00:00,295 Speaker 4: A lot of the pre prime timber is just like 1072 01:00:00,375 --> 01:00:04,415 Speaker 4: a transportation primer to the timber and transit. It's not 1073 01:00:04,815 --> 01:00:08,615 Speaker 4: a primer designed be kind of painted over. So you 1074 01:00:08,775 --> 01:00:11,135 Speaker 4: need to give it a sand re prime with an 1075 01:00:11,175 --> 01:00:14,735 Speaker 4: oil based primer, and then you get to go. There 1076 01:00:14,935 --> 01:00:18,895 Speaker 4: is some primer out there. There's true Prime from Razine 1077 01:00:18,975 --> 01:00:21,775 Speaker 4: and some of the other manufacturers do primers as well 1078 01:00:22,095 --> 01:00:25,695 Speaker 4: on certain weather boards and timbers. Yes, that will be 1079 01:00:26,015 --> 01:00:28,415 Speaker 4: there'll be stickers on the back of the boards around 1080 01:00:28,695 --> 01:00:31,335 Speaker 4: preparation and what you need to do, and some of 1081 01:00:31,415 --> 01:00:34,255 Speaker 4: those primers you can paint over. Yes, but the vast 1082 01:00:34,335 --> 01:00:37,735 Speaker 4: majority of pre prime timber you need to sand and reprime. 1083 01:00:37,975 --> 01:00:41,255 Speaker 5: Okay, that's good advice. And I know, like I've worked 1084 01:00:41,295 --> 01:00:44,495 Speaker 5: with timber clouting systems where they are prime undercodd and 1085 01:00:44,575 --> 01:00:46,415 Speaker 5: have a first code on them, so you know that's 1086 01:00:46,455 --> 01:00:49,415 Speaker 5: slightly different, but they will tell you that. So I 1087 01:00:49,455 --> 01:00:51,535 Speaker 5: think the safe assumption is if it's just got a 1088 01:00:51,655 --> 01:00:54,215 Speaker 5: primer on it, a factory primer on it. You should 1089 01:00:54,255 --> 01:00:55,415 Speaker 5: send it and reprime that. 1090 01:00:55,855 --> 01:00:57,375 Speaker 4: I mean, like you said, you gave it a sand 1091 01:00:57,455 --> 01:01:00,335 Speaker 4: and it was just turning to dust essentially. So yeah, 1092 01:01:01,535 --> 01:01:03,335 Speaker 4: if you want to get through that and actually get 1093 01:01:03,335 --> 01:01:06,615 Speaker 4: a decent primer on there, the primers like the whole 1094 01:01:06,895 --> 01:01:10,295 Speaker 4: anchor right coat for the whole system. So that's the 1095 01:01:11,135 --> 01:01:13,375 Speaker 4: one coat that needs to be done really really well. 1096 01:01:14,215 --> 01:01:16,775 Speaker 5: Okay, Oh and look, it didn't take in this instance, 1097 01:01:16,855 --> 01:01:18,695 Speaker 5: didn't take a lot of time, and you know, I 1098 01:01:18,775 --> 01:01:22,055 Speaker 5: feel a lot more confident about it going forward. So 1099 01:01:22,295 --> 01:01:22,855 Speaker 5: that's awesome. 1100 01:01:23,135 --> 01:01:23,295 Speaker 2: Right. 1101 01:01:23,655 --> 01:01:28,255 Speaker 5: Let's rip into some texts of Vitex sticks that has 1102 01:01:28,335 --> 01:01:31,055 Speaker 5: been Vitex that's been oiled twice. The last time was 1103 01:01:31,175 --> 01:01:35,375 Speaker 5: ten years ago. Now more than well weared, weathered, no 1104 01:01:35,535 --> 01:01:38,215 Speaker 5: surprise there can I clean and put a water based 1105 01:01:38,335 --> 01:01:40,695 Speaker 5: stain on it? So what are the issues there? If 1106 01:01:40,775 --> 01:01:42,855 Speaker 5: it's been oiled ten years ago? 1107 01:01:43,295 --> 01:01:43,815 Speaker 2: What can I do? 1108 01:01:43,975 --> 01:01:48,055 Speaker 4: Really depends depends on what oil was used. If it's 1109 01:01:48,775 --> 01:01:52,695 Speaker 4: a mineral oil, like you've got a couple out there, 1110 01:01:53,175 --> 01:01:56,815 Speaker 4: wood X Dryden CD fifty, you need to stick with 1111 01:01:56,935 --> 01:02:01,095 Speaker 4: those right on the timber. If it's an oil like 1112 01:02:01,255 --> 01:02:04,855 Speaker 4: our razine solvent blen Woodsman. Then yes, you could clean 1113 01:02:04,935 --> 01:02:09,415 Speaker 4: it and go over with the water Born Woodsman or 1114 01:02:09,455 --> 01:02:13,295 Speaker 4: the solvent board Woodsman again. So to clean it it 1115 01:02:13,295 --> 01:02:15,935 Speaker 4: would be scrub it with rasine, timber and backwash. 1116 01:02:16,135 --> 01:02:16,295 Speaker 18: Yep. 1117 01:02:18,295 --> 01:02:20,855 Speaker 4: And then if you're not sure, ten years a long 1118 01:02:20,895 --> 01:02:24,335 Speaker 4: time of finding out what was on there. Pretty slim, 1119 01:02:24,615 --> 01:02:27,815 Speaker 4: So I'd say try one of our water Born Woodsman 1120 01:02:27,935 --> 01:02:31,335 Speaker 4: test spots in if you can, in an inconspicuous area, yes, 1121 01:02:31,855 --> 01:02:33,855 Speaker 4: and then just give it a couple of days see 1122 01:02:33,895 --> 01:02:37,335 Speaker 4: if it penetrates and dries, and if it does, you 1123 01:02:37,375 --> 01:02:40,695 Speaker 4: should be okay to restain over over that old oil. 1124 01:02:42,655 --> 01:02:44,855 Speaker 4: If it doesn't, then it stays on the surface and 1125 01:02:44,935 --> 01:02:48,615 Speaker 4: it's still tacky. Yes, then unfortunately you're going to have 1126 01:02:48,695 --> 01:02:50,495 Speaker 4: to stick with like a mineral oil. 1127 01:02:50,335 --> 01:02:53,415 Speaker 5: On that, i'ld say, right, So it's about compatibility between 1128 01:02:53,455 --> 01:02:58,855 Speaker 5: the different paint systems, right, Oh, painting question. I've got 1129 01:02:58,895 --> 01:03:02,775 Speaker 5: a soft ball sized hole in a hatch board wall 1130 01:03:02,855 --> 01:03:05,295 Speaker 5: in my garage. Once repaired with a small piece of 1131 01:03:05,375 --> 01:03:07,535 Speaker 5: GiB and plaster, I'd don't want to repaint the wall. 1132 01:03:07,935 --> 01:03:13,535 Speaker 5: Any tips for paintings leans in good fuck the size 1133 01:03:13,575 --> 01:03:16,695 Speaker 5: hole sounds awfully similar to a first size hole. 1134 01:03:18,455 --> 01:03:26,775 Speaker 4: Or ahead or a football really, so master painters and 1135 01:03:26,895 --> 01:03:30,295 Speaker 4: they're fat sheets. You say, anything bigger than a postage stamp, 1136 01:03:30,415 --> 01:03:32,415 Speaker 4: you're not really going to be able to touch up 1137 01:03:32,495 --> 01:03:35,015 Speaker 4: that area, right, So when you start getting bigger than 1138 01:03:35,095 --> 01:03:39,055 Speaker 4: that and lochine paint, you're you're going to struggle without 1139 01:03:39,135 --> 01:03:42,335 Speaker 4: doing corner to corner on the wall. Yeah, and our 1140 01:03:42,415 --> 01:03:44,855 Speaker 4: advices really always go corner to corner to try and 1141 01:03:44,975 --> 01:03:45,655 Speaker 4: blend it all in. 1142 01:03:46,815 --> 01:03:48,295 Speaker 5: I mean, it's the sort of thing you might get 1143 01:03:48,335 --> 01:03:51,495 Speaker 5: away with a touch up of a job that's recently 1144 01:03:51,615 --> 01:03:56,855 Speaker 5: being done, you know, like if you've got the same same. 1145 01:03:56,735 --> 01:04:00,815 Speaker 4: Role of application, then you might. But like I said, 1146 01:04:00,895 --> 01:04:05,695 Speaker 4: master painters say anything she wise greater than a flat 1147 01:04:05,855 --> 01:04:10,055 Speaker 4: or matt finish, you're going to struggle when it's bigger 1148 01:04:10,095 --> 01:04:11,055 Speaker 4: than a postage stamp. 1149 01:04:11,175 --> 01:04:14,215 Speaker 5: So yeah, paint and it might show up corner to 1150 01:04:14,375 --> 01:04:19,175 Speaker 5: corner absolutely. Yeah, we're painters not magicians. Yeah, that's it right. 1151 01:04:19,895 --> 01:04:23,535 Speaker 5: Getting some window frames done dark blue? What is the 1152 01:04:23,655 --> 01:04:29,455 Speaker 5: process to ensure that the paint lasts so dark blue 1153 01:04:29,695 --> 01:04:33,415 Speaker 5: window frames? And actually tell us what the light reflectance 1154 01:04:33,575 --> 01:04:36,615 Speaker 5: value is, so every. 1155 01:04:36,455 --> 01:04:39,815 Speaker 4: Color has got the value of the amount of light 1156 01:04:39,895 --> 01:04:44,735 Speaker 4: it reflects, and obviously the darker the color, it's going 1157 01:04:44,815 --> 01:04:47,535 Speaker 4: to absorb more light and more heat, and then that 1158 01:04:47,695 --> 01:04:52,775 Speaker 4: heat transfers obviously into the substrate the paints on. With 1159 01:04:52,935 --> 01:04:56,095 Speaker 4: timber windows, obviously the darker you go, the more heat 1160 01:04:56,135 --> 01:04:58,975 Speaker 4: it's going to absorb, and then the more movement you're 1161 01:04:59,055 --> 01:05:03,375 Speaker 4: likely to get in the timber yep. So ideally going 1162 01:05:03,495 --> 01:05:04,495 Speaker 4: lighter would be better. 1163 01:05:04,935 --> 01:05:07,815 Speaker 2: Yes, Obviously, if you're going to go dark. 1164 01:05:07,775 --> 01:05:11,895 Speaker 4: We'd always recommend using the cool colored version of the 1165 01:05:12,015 --> 01:05:15,215 Speaker 4: color so that that helps reflect more of the heat 1166 01:05:16,015 --> 01:05:19,015 Speaker 4: out from entering the substrate. That makes sense. 1167 01:05:19,335 --> 01:05:23,815 Speaker 5: Yeah, In terms of the numbers, because some like with 1168 01:05:23,935 --> 01:05:27,415 Speaker 5: the boards for example, they'll the manufacturer will say, if 1169 01:05:27,575 --> 01:05:30,175 Speaker 5: you paint a color that has a number above thirty 1170 01:05:30,255 --> 01:05:32,615 Speaker 5: five I think is typically where it cuts off, then 1171 01:05:33,415 --> 01:05:34,095 Speaker 5: it's forty five. 1172 01:05:34,255 --> 01:05:37,495 Speaker 4: Okay, it's around forty forty five. As usually the. 1173 01:05:37,535 --> 01:05:41,255 Speaker 5: Cutoff white as sort of one and black is one hundred. 1174 01:05:41,375 --> 01:05:42,055 Speaker 2: Is that how it works? 1175 01:05:42,695 --> 01:05:47,975 Speaker 4: It is near enough for blacks about four percent or something. 1176 01:05:48,055 --> 01:05:51,895 Speaker 4: In white's probably ninety five or something either way around. 1177 01:05:51,975 --> 01:05:57,655 Speaker 5: Okay, So higher the number, the lighter the color, and 1178 01:05:57,775 --> 01:06:03,655 Speaker 5: so going below forty five is not advisable. 1179 01:06:04,335 --> 01:06:07,895 Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, okay, are you under check head? 1180 01:06:10,175 --> 01:06:11,815 Speaker 5: Yeah, I've never convinced that I've got it. 1181 01:06:12,775 --> 01:06:16,495 Speaker 4: It's more heat, it reflects less light. So the darker 1182 01:06:16,655 --> 01:06:18,935 Speaker 4: is going to absorb more and the light is going 1183 01:06:18,975 --> 01:06:19,575 Speaker 4: to reflect more. 1184 01:06:19,695 --> 01:06:22,575 Speaker 5: Okay, So in this situation, they're wedded to the dark color. 1185 01:06:22,975 --> 01:06:25,375 Speaker 5: They love it. What's the best thing to do? 1186 01:06:26,455 --> 01:06:30,055 Speaker 4: So, I mean it depends. So say it's timber weather, 1187 01:06:30,615 --> 01:06:33,895 Speaker 4: timber window. It's in pretty good condition at the moment. 1188 01:06:34,615 --> 01:06:39,815 Speaker 4: I'm presuming it's painted already, so it's kind of sand. 1189 01:06:39,975 --> 01:06:40,615 Speaker 16: What's on there? 1190 01:06:40,655 --> 01:06:41,335 Speaker 4: To de gloss? 1191 01:06:41,455 --> 01:06:42,055 Speaker 6: What's on there? 1192 01:06:43,735 --> 01:06:47,055 Speaker 4: Spot prime? Many bear areas would resime quick dry or 1193 01:06:47,175 --> 01:06:51,735 Speaker 4: Rasine wood primal, then the full coat of the Razine 1194 01:06:51,855 --> 01:06:55,695 Speaker 4: quick dry, and then i'd say used to lust the 1195 01:06:55,775 --> 01:06:59,615 Speaker 4: quill in that in the color they've chosen. But if 1196 01:06:59,695 --> 01:07:04,295 Speaker 4: it's forty or more like reflectance value, which kind of 1197 01:07:04,375 --> 01:07:07,415 Speaker 4: a darkish blue, will be used to call color version. 1198 01:07:07,735 --> 01:07:11,935 Speaker 5: Yess okay, brilliant stand the light. We're going to take 1199 01:07:11,975 --> 01:07:14,215 Speaker 5: short break. We'll be back with Jay from Razine after 1200 01:07:14,335 --> 01:07:14,655 Speaker 5: the break. 1201 01:07:14,895 --> 01:07:17,775 Speaker 1: Whether you're painting the ceiling, fixing the fence, or wondering 1202 01:07:17,815 --> 01:07:19,935 Speaker 1: how to fix that hole in the wall, give feeder, 1203 01:07:19,975 --> 01:07:21,055 Speaker 1: wolf gabber, call on. 1204 01:07:23,095 --> 01:07:24,895 Speaker 2: The resident builder on news dogs. 1205 01:07:25,095 --> 01:07:28,975 Speaker 5: B Jay Sharples from Razine is with us this morning 1206 01:07:29,535 --> 01:07:34,615 Speaker 5: taking your painting questions. Oh, here's a goodie painting a 1207 01:07:34,775 --> 01:07:37,455 Speaker 5: thirty one year old cedar house which has only been 1208 01:07:37,535 --> 01:07:41,135 Speaker 5: stained once when it was first built in nineteen ninety four. 1209 01:07:41,335 --> 01:07:45,055 Speaker 5: What is the preparation required before painting? How many coats 1210 01:07:45,095 --> 01:07:48,135 Speaker 5: of paint and a suitable paint for a cedar house 1211 01:07:48,215 --> 01:07:52,295 Speaker 5: that is north facing and exposed built on a hill? 1212 01:07:53,975 --> 01:08:00,575 Speaker 4: Anything again? Like the kind of vile earlier? Like if 1213 01:08:00,615 --> 01:08:02,335 Speaker 4: it's been oiled. 1214 01:08:01,975 --> 01:08:07,335 Speaker 5: Initially thirty one years with no log, go. 1215 01:08:07,455 --> 01:08:10,615 Speaker 4: Back to stain. Our recommendations for stain is staining every 1216 01:08:11,335 --> 01:08:14,015 Speaker 4: sort of two to three summers. Yep, So it's thirty 1217 01:08:14,055 --> 01:08:17,095 Speaker 4: one years for nothing. There's no protection on the cedar. 1218 01:08:18,055 --> 01:08:21,095 Speaker 4: What state is that cladenine to even look at? 1219 01:08:21,335 --> 01:08:22,415 Speaker 5: It's not going to be pretty. 1220 01:08:23,295 --> 01:08:28,455 Speaker 4: No, So system is razine, timber and deck quarters to 1221 01:08:28,455 --> 01:08:31,695 Speaker 4: give it a good clean. I'd imagine a moss and 1222 01:08:31,735 --> 01:08:35,735 Speaker 4: mold treatment as well. You're looking at a full coat 1223 01:08:35,815 --> 01:08:39,815 Speaker 4: of razine wood primer and then two coats of lumbersider. 1224 01:08:41,335 --> 01:08:46,735 Speaker 4: But I've seen old seedar houses that haven't had any 1225 01:08:47,135 --> 01:08:49,415 Speaker 4: sort of love for a number of years, where the 1226 01:08:49,455 --> 01:08:52,695 Speaker 4: ceedar gets very profiled and you get those peaks and 1227 01:08:52,775 --> 01:08:55,935 Speaker 4: troughs and what you can get when you paint it, 1228 01:08:56,175 --> 01:08:59,775 Speaker 4: which isn't visible really when you stain it is a 1229 01:08:59,895 --> 01:09:04,095 Speaker 4: lot of shadowing from those peaks and troughs on profile timber. 1230 01:09:04,855 --> 01:09:07,575 Speaker 4: So then if you get painters in paint it, the 1231 01:09:07,695 --> 01:09:10,695 Speaker 4: homeowner thinks the painters haven't put enough paint on because 1232 01:09:10,735 --> 01:09:13,055 Speaker 4: the house looks really patchy. But a lot of the 1233 01:09:13,135 --> 01:09:16,095 Speaker 4: time it's just those pigs and troughs in the in 1234 01:09:16,255 --> 01:09:17,455 Speaker 4: the profile of the timber. 1235 01:09:17,815 --> 01:09:18,015 Speaker 5: Yeah. 1236 01:09:20,055 --> 01:09:23,615 Speaker 4: So yeah, I mean that that's the system is give 1237 01:09:23,655 --> 01:09:25,735 Speaker 4: it a good clean down and then in wood primer 1238 01:09:25,855 --> 01:09:29,655 Speaker 4: and two coats of lumbersider. Or you're looking at restaining 1239 01:09:29,695 --> 01:09:34,455 Speaker 4: it and then restaining it every few years, yeah, or 1240 01:09:34,615 --> 01:09:35,535 Speaker 4: looking at recladding. 1241 01:09:35,855 --> 01:09:36,055 Speaker 2: Yeah. 1242 01:09:37,055 --> 01:09:37,255 Speaker 7: Yeah. 1243 01:09:37,855 --> 01:09:40,495 Speaker 5: Look, ultimately you're right, it may well need it. So 1244 01:09:40,975 --> 01:09:44,815 Speaker 5: you know, I suppose what it is is have realistic expectations. 1245 01:09:45,295 --> 01:09:48,215 Speaker 5: So if it's thoroughly cleaned, the right paint system, it 1246 01:09:48,335 --> 01:09:52,295 Speaker 5: will help protect it for some time. Like the house 1247 01:09:52,335 --> 01:09:56,615 Speaker 5: will love it, but don't expect to get a quality finish. 1248 01:09:56,775 --> 01:09:58,935 Speaker 5: Like you might have got off new cedar boards or 1249 01:09:59,015 --> 01:09:59,695 Speaker 5: new weather boards. 1250 01:10:00,415 --> 01:10:00,615 Speaker 2: Yeah. 1251 01:10:00,975 --> 01:10:06,015 Speaker 5: Yeah, absolutely. Last one is someone who's noticed mold ink 1252 01:10:06,495 --> 01:10:09,575 Speaker 5: like stains on the ceiling they painted with kitchen and 1253 01:10:09,655 --> 01:10:12,375 Speaker 5: bathroom paint. Wipe the ceiling, but it seems to be 1254 01:10:12,615 --> 01:10:16,775 Speaker 5: under the paint. Did they paint over the mold in 1255 01:10:16,855 --> 01:10:17,535 Speaker 5: the first place? 1256 01:10:18,135 --> 01:10:21,295 Speaker 4: Potentially, yes, I suppose if it's if it's bleeding through 1257 01:10:21,375 --> 01:10:27,095 Speaker 4: them paint, then yeah. We always recommend using rasime, moss 1258 01:10:27,135 --> 01:10:30,415 Speaker 4: and mold killer because it's it kills the spores of 1259 01:10:30,455 --> 01:10:33,735 Speaker 4: the mold, and if you just wipe it, it looks 1260 01:10:33,775 --> 01:10:36,735 Speaker 4: like you've removed it with just just wipe it with 1261 01:10:37,095 --> 01:10:40,695 Speaker 4: right or anything else, it looks like you've removed the mold, 1262 01:10:40,815 --> 01:10:43,295 Speaker 4: but the spores are still there. Yep, So you really 1263 01:10:43,375 --> 01:10:46,055 Speaker 4: need to use the bleach. In our opinion, a bleach 1264 01:10:46,135 --> 01:10:49,895 Speaker 4: based cleanhad like razine, moss and molecular to kill those 1265 01:10:49,935 --> 01:10:52,415 Speaker 4: spores so that when you do paint it they're not 1266 01:10:52,855 --> 01:10:54,975 Speaker 4: still there and bleeding through the coating. 1267 01:10:55,335 --> 01:10:55,495 Speaker 2: Yep. 1268 01:10:57,015 --> 01:10:59,855 Speaker 4: Now it's then you've noticed it. You can it might 1269 01:10:59,935 --> 01:11:03,535 Speaker 4: take multiple sort of treatments, but you can just keep 1270 01:11:03,575 --> 01:11:06,855 Speaker 4: cleaning it with the moss and molecular and hopefully it 1271 01:11:06,895 --> 01:11:09,695 Speaker 4: should get through and sort of help solve the issue. 1272 01:11:09,935 --> 01:11:14,935 Speaker 5: Yeah awesome, Okay, well right, do it right and do 1273 01:11:15,015 --> 01:11:16,015 Speaker 5: it once and do it right? 1274 01:11:16,375 --> 01:11:16,895 Speaker 7: Is the key is? 1275 01:11:17,455 --> 01:11:21,775 Speaker 5: Yeah? Isn't that the mental Absolutely? Hey j thank you 1276 01:11:22,015 --> 01:11:24,295 Speaker 5: very much for all your advice this morning.

Great exhibitors too, and actually had a really 1296 01:12:27,695 --> 01:12:32,575 Speaker 5: cool conversation with Flexi Abode. 1297 01:12:32,775 --> 01:12:33,335 Speaker 2: I'll check that. 1298 01:12:33,575 --> 01:12:37,095 Speaker 5: Yeah, Flexi Homes who do sort of modular construction, so 1299 01:12:37,215 --> 01:12:42,415 Speaker 5: off site construction assembly on site, interestingly enough, using jaframe 1300 01:12:42,535 --> 01:12:45,455 Speaker 5: as their preferred framing timber that they use for it, 1301 01:12:45,495 --> 01:12:48,935 Speaker 5: which is really really cool, and then using Stark Joinery 1302 01:12:49,055 --> 01:12:51,535 Speaker 5: in most of their projects as well, which is the 1303 01:12:51,735 --> 01:12:56,575 Speaker 5: high performance uPVC joinery that they incorporate in order to 1304 01:12:56,655 --> 01:13:00,215 Speaker 5: get really high performing homes. Actually, I had a just 1305 01:13:00,415 --> 01:13:04,175 Speaker 5: quickly for the breaky Friday. I spent the morning going 1306 01:13:04,255 --> 01:13:08,415 Speaker 5: through the factory actually at Stark Joinery, so they make 1307 01:13:08,455 --> 01:13:14,975 Speaker 5: the uPVC joinery. The whole process from the essentially the 1308 01:13:15,095 --> 01:13:19,735 Speaker 5: stock the blanks coming out into a highly automated system 1309 01:13:19,855 --> 01:13:24,695 Speaker 5: that cuts everything, drills all the holes, goes through reinforcement, 1310 01:13:24,855 --> 01:13:28,895 Speaker 5: goes into the assembly of the actual frames themselves, which 1311 01:13:28,975 --> 01:13:31,535 Speaker 5: is done with heat, so their heat welded in the 1312 01:13:31,615 --> 01:13:35,815 Speaker 5: corners and then automatically cleaned up, and then the assembly 1313 01:13:35,895 --> 01:13:38,215 Speaker 5: of the hardware and the process out the door. So 1314 01:13:38,935 --> 01:13:42,655 Speaker 5: fascinating insight into some of the technology and clever thinking 1315 01:13:42,735 --> 01:13:46,055 Speaker 5: that goes into these high performance uPVC windows. So that 1316 01:13:46,175 --> 01:13:48,455 Speaker 5: was great. Actually really enjoyed my time out there at Stark. 1317 01:13:48,855 --> 01:13:53,015 Speaker 5: It is quarter to eight already. Remember through climb past 1318 01:13:53,135 --> 01:13:57,095 Speaker 5: will be along straight after at eight thirty.

But if you'd liked and if you'd 1322 01:14:08,815 --> 01:14:10,535 Speaker 5: like to give us a call, you can text.

Right, remember describing to you how I 1334 01:14:44,895 --> 01:14:45,655 Speaker 10: did my place. 1335 01:14:46,815 --> 01:14:49,095 Speaker 5: You sended it right back, and you ground it and 1336 01:14:49,175 --> 01:14:51,135 Speaker 5: you polished it and you honed it and you looked 1337 01:14:51,175 --> 01:14:53,415 Speaker 5: at it with a microscope and you applied fifty six 1338 01:14:53,495 --> 01:14:55,215 Speaker 5: coats of paint and it looks magnificent. 1339 01:14:57,015 --> 01:15:01,455 Speaker 10: Well, I don't think that description would help the personist 1340 01:15:01,735 --> 01:15:04,695 Speaker 10: exactly how to do it? Do me to describe it? 1341 01:15:05,255 --> 01:15:07,655 Speaker 5: I remember what you talking about, and look at it 1342 01:15:09,575 --> 01:15:13,575 Speaker 5: if in your instance, and I really admire the application, right, 1343 01:15:13,695 --> 01:15:17,015 Speaker 5: So the dedication to it, I guess it's the sort 1344 01:15:17,055 --> 01:15:19,815 Speaker 5: of thing that you know, You and I as homeowners 1345 01:15:19,935 --> 01:15:22,855 Speaker 5: tend to pour our heart and soul into these processes 1346 01:15:22,975 --> 01:15:26,135 Speaker 5: and we can achieve great results. But from a commercial 1347 01:15:26,215 --> 01:15:29,135 Speaker 5: point of view, can you pay someone to put as 1348 01:15:29,215 --> 01:15:31,415 Speaker 5: much time and effort in Well, yes you can, but 1349 01:15:31,535 --> 01:15:34,335 Speaker 5: it tends to be a bit cost prohibitive. But look, 1350 01:15:34,375 --> 01:15:36,735 Speaker 5: I hear what you're saying, John, And for listeners who 1351 01:15:36,735 --> 01:15:39,455 Speaker 5: don't recall the conversation, you know, John put a lot 1352 01:15:39,495 --> 01:15:43,975 Speaker 5: of time and effort into standing, prepping and restoring the 1353 01:15:44,055 --> 01:15:47,495 Speaker 5: timber joinery, and I'm sure it looks absolutely magnificent. So 1354 01:15:48,575 --> 01:15:52,535 Speaker 5: it can be done, but it comes down to perhaps 1355 01:15:52,935 --> 01:15:55,215 Speaker 5: the amount of time, and typically the amount of time 1356 01:15:55,455 --> 01:15:57,815 Speaker 5: ends up being the amount of money. John really lovely 1357 01:15:57,895 --> 01:15:59,455 Speaker 5: to talk to you, and it was actually John that 1358 01:15:59,535 --> 01:16:01,175 Speaker 5: I sat with for a little while at the Home 1359 01:16:01,215 --> 01:16:03,655 Speaker 5: and Garden John Wellington a week while ago and it 1360 01:16:03,775 --> 01:16:06,695 Speaker 5: was a great conversation, so really appreciate it. It is 1361 01:16:06,775 --> 01:16:12,095 Speaker 5: ten minutes away from eight today. We're looking into tryboard 1362 01:16:12,295 --> 01:16:16,375 Speaker 5: as a lining option. So it comes in two point 1363 01:16:16,415 --> 01:16:19,615 Speaker 5: four or three point six meter sheets. It's ten mil. 1364 01:16:19,735 --> 01:16:23,015 Speaker 5: It's got two MDF outer layers in a strand board 1365 01:16:23,175 --> 01:16:27,335 Speaker 5: inner layer, light durable, can handle the NOOX. It's pretty tough, 1366 01:16:27,575 --> 01:16:30,615 Speaker 5: so it's perfect for renovations and for new builds. Joining 1367 01:16:30,695 --> 01:16:33,135 Speaker 5: us this morning is Brendan Maroney from Store in z Now. 1368 01:16:33,215 --> 01:16:36,655 Speaker 5: You specialize in kitchens, cabins and custom builds based up 1369 01:16:36,695 --> 01:16:39,415 Speaker 5: in Northland. You've been using it for a couple of years. 1370 01:16:39,815 --> 01:16:41,775 Speaker 5: How did you get interested in tryboard. 1371 01:16:43,175 --> 01:16:47,255 Speaker 11: I started using trybards just after the COVID lockdowns. And 1372 01:16:47,495 --> 01:16:51,575 Speaker 11: the reason I started using it is because Plywoods became 1373 01:16:51,775 --> 01:16:56,935 Speaker 11: quite inconsistent, just availability and also the varying price and 1374 01:16:57,255 --> 01:17:00,495 Speaker 11: the quality as well. The quality really planted a little bit, 1375 01:17:00,495 --> 01:17:01,895 Speaker 11: I think, just due to availability. 1376 01:17:02,095 --> 01:17:05,775 Speaker 5: Sure, so in terms of the installation process, this is 1377 01:17:05,895 --> 01:17:10,415 Speaker 5: your life over conventional timber framing, speed, complexity. Walk us 1378 01:17:10,455 --> 01:17:10,695 Speaker 5: through it. 1379 01:17:11,975 --> 01:17:15,175 Speaker 11: So yeah, it's pretty it's pretty simple. We just we 1380 01:17:15,295 --> 01:17:20,495 Speaker 11: do our framing and insulation and cabling, and then the 1381 01:17:20,575 --> 01:17:23,135 Speaker 11: triboarders glued to our timber framing, and then pins and 1382 01:17:23,215 --> 01:17:26,015 Speaker 11: then also screwed, just just to compress the glue and 1383 01:17:26,055 --> 01:17:28,815 Speaker 11: give it a good fixing. It's not used as a 1384 01:17:29,015 --> 01:17:31,935 Speaker 11: bracing element, but it definitely does add a bracing element 1385 01:17:32,015 --> 01:17:32,655 Speaker 11: to the structure. 1386 01:17:34,135 --> 01:17:38,895 Speaker 5: In terms of selection of links, what do you typically use? 1387 01:17:40,295 --> 01:17:43,015 Speaker 11: I use both the two point four and the three 1388 01:17:43,055 --> 01:17:47,055 Speaker 11: point six one. I find the two point four mainly 1389 01:17:47,095 --> 01:17:49,575 Speaker 11: for the wall linings, and then also if I build 1390 01:17:49,575 --> 01:17:52,135 Speaker 11: a higher units, I can cut down the three point 1391 01:17:52,215 --> 01:17:54,975 Speaker 11: six yep. But then the three point six is ideal 1392 01:17:55,095 --> 01:17:58,735 Speaker 11: for going across the ceiling long ways. Just less less boards, 1393 01:17:59,015 --> 01:17:59,495 Speaker 11: less work. 1394 01:17:59,735 --> 01:18:03,095 Speaker 5: Yeah, so you're using it a nicer finish walls and ceilings. 1395 01:18:03,775 --> 01:18:04,535 Speaker 7: Yeah, that's correct. 1396 01:18:05,815 --> 01:18:08,775 Speaker 5: In terms of of coating it, what what would your 1397 01:18:09,055 --> 01:18:10,575 Speaker 5: top tips for coating it be. 1398 01:18:11,975 --> 01:18:14,135 Speaker 11: I don't really have many top tips for courting as 1399 01:18:14,815 --> 01:18:17,455 Speaker 11: to come in and do it. As far as the 1400 01:18:17,575 --> 01:18:19,975 Speaker 11: courting goes, it's it's a lot nicer than than a 1401 01:18:20,055 --> 01:18:23,935 Speaker 11: plywood finish. It's there's no inconsistencies or not so it 1402 01:18:24,255 --> 01:18:26,415 Speaker 11: definitely comes up really nice once it's finished, and we 1403 01:18:26,655 --> 01:18:29,455 Speaker 11: put a little chamfur on the giint yes, and line 1404 01:18:29,495 --> 01:18:31,855 Speaker 11: them up with the ceiling, and yeah, it looks stunny. 1405 01:18:32,495 --> 01:18:35,495 Speaker 5: And because with the NDF skin on it, it does 1406 01:18:35,615 --> 01:18:38,735 Speaker 5: give you a really really smooth finish, doesn't it It does? 1407 01:18:38,895 --> 01:18:41,655 Speaker 11: Yeah, it's it's when you look side by side with 1408 01:18:41,815 --> 01:18:44,335 Speaker 11: NDF and fire, would you get a really nice finish. 1409 01:18:45,175 --> 01:18:45,415 Speaker 15: Nice. 1410 01:18:47,055 --> 01:18:49,415 Speaker 5: In terms of some projects coming up, where do you 1411 01:18:49,455 --> 01:18:50,895 Speaker 5: think you'll be using Tribwald next. 1412 01:18:52,255 --> 01:18:55,695 Speaker 11: I use triboard on I'd say ninety five percent of 1413 01:18:55,775 --> 01:18:59,975 Speaker 11: my cabins, so I'll be using it this week. I 1414 01:19:00,095 --> 01:19:03,055 Speaker 11: buy it quite quite regularly, probably buy a pack of 1415 01:19:03,135 --> 01:19:07,575 Speaker 11: fifty every two weeks. Yes, yeah, so that's I was 1416 01:19:07,615 --> 01:19:09,095 Speaker 11: in stock in my in my workshop. 1417 01:19:09,295 --> 01:19:11,775 Speaker 5: That's brilliant. It's become sort of an integral part of 1418 01:19:11,855 --> 01:19:12,695 Speaker 5: the buildings that you do. 1419 01:19:13,615 --> 01:19:17,535 Speaker 11: Yeah, definitely. It's just that consistency and consistency and product 1420 01:19:17,735 --> 01:19:19,735 Speaker 11: price and availability and. 1421 01:19:20,135 --> 01:19:21,495 Speaker 5: A finish that you're really happy with. 1422 01:19:22,295 --> 01:19:24,335 Speaker 11: Yeah, and also the customers love that they come and 1423 01:19:24,375 --> 01:19:27,615 Speaker 11: they're always impressed with the finish. So that's I I 1424 01:19:27,775 --> 01:19:28,775 Speaker 11: was a bonus good to hear. 1425 01:19:28,775 --> 01:19:31,015 Speaker 5: If you want to look at some of Brendan's projects. 1426 01:19:31,215 --> 01:19:33,855 Speaker 5: Have a look at store dot co dot nz. That's 1427 01:19:34,055 --> 01:19:36,975 Speaker 5: s t o R dot co dot nz. To find 1428 01:19:37,015 --> 01:19:39,935 Speaker 5: out more about tryboard, go to j now dot co 1429 01:19:40,135 --> 01:19:40,615 Speaker 5: dot nz. 1430 01:19:42,295 --> 01:19:42,655 Speaker 8: Z B. 1431 01:19:46,935 --> 01:19:49,775 Speaker 5: Just finishing a snack right, Oh, it is six minutes away. 1432 01:19:50,375 --> 01:19:54,015 Speaker 5: Terribly unprofessional of me. Six minutes away from eight o'clock. 1433 01:19:54,975 --> 01:19:56,815 Speaker 5: If you've got a question, Oh, eight hundred and eighty 1434 01:19:56,895 --> 01:19:59,135 Speaker 5: ten eighty is that number to call. We'll take your 1435 01:19:59,175 --> 01:20:02,215 Speaker 5: calls right through till eight thirty this morning, when we'll 1436 01:20:02,255 --> 01:20:04,535 Speaker 5: jump into the garden with Rud. A couple of texts 1437 01:20:04,575 --> 01:20:06,735 Speaker 5: that have come through as well. Pete, can I paint 1438 01:20:06,855 --> 01:20:11,655 Speaker 5: a nineteen seventies brick house? Yes, you can, Bob rob 1439 01:20:12,495 --> 01:20:16,655 Speaker 5: So it's all about the primer, and interestingly enough, typically 1440 01:20:16,815 --> 01:20:21,895 Speaker 5: it's a pigmented Seala as the recommended primer onto brick 1441 01:20:22,335 --> 01:20:25,855 Speaker 5: so clean it thoroughly pigmented seila top coats over the 1442 01:20:25,935 --> 01:20:27,815 Speaker 5: top of that. Whether you do it with a brush 1443 01:20:27,935 --> 01:20:32,375 Speaker 5: or a roller or potentially even spray, it is completely 1444 01:20:32,455 --> 01:20:35,695 Speaker 5: up to you as well. Someone has text through this 1445 01:20:35,775 --> 01:20:38,135 Speaker 5: an interesting one. It was a painting question, but it 1446 01:20:38,295 --> 01:20:42,215 Speaker 5: kind of isn't. So they have a large house at 1447 01:20:42,295 --> 01:20:46,255 Speaker 5: ground level with internal guttering that sort of class facier 1448 01:20:46,295 --> 01:20:52,175 Speaker 5: type arrangement and replacing it has been quoted out at 1449 01:20:52,415 --> 01:20:56,295 Speaker 5: a rate that they can't afford. Seemingly, it's sound and 1450 01:20:56,415 --> 01:20:58,855 Speaker 5: I'd like to preserve it by painting it on the inside. 1451 01:20:58,975 --> 01:21:02,895 Speaker 5: Can you paint it? There are coatings that you could use, 1452 01:21:03,815 --> 01:21:08,215 Speaker 5: and I was talking to the guys from Polymer Systems 1453 01:21:08,215 --> 01:21:11,975 Speaker 5: who do Injuris as a coating that you could apply 1454 01:21:12,175 --> 01:21:14,815 Speaker 5: to extend the life. So have a look for in 1455 01:21:15,055 --> 01:21:20,135 Speaker 5: Juris e n d urs. That might be a product 1456 01:21:20,175 --> 01:21:22,815 Speaker 5: that you could apply to the inside. Tricky in those 1457 01:21:22,855 --> 01:21:27,255 Speaker 5: spaces sometimes, but it will probably extend the life of it. Otherwise, 1458 01:21:28,095 --> 01:21:29,975 Speaker 5: have a look at some of the really clever systems 1459 01:21:30,015 --> 01:21:32,655 Speaker 5: that are available for swapping this out. I know it's 1460 01:21:32,655 --> 01:21:35,495 Speaker 5: been a bit of a perennial topic on the show. 1461 01:21:35,815 --> 01:21:38,935 Speaker 5: The whole internal what we call internal spouting, so you'll 1462 01:21:38,975 --> 01:21:42,095 Speaker 5: have a facier board that's metal and then the spouting 1463 01:21:42,215 --> 01:21:44,935 Speaker 5: is clipped into the inside of it. They can be 1464 01:21:45,055 --> 01:21:48,855 Speaker 5: problematic and I noticed even actually at the Home Show 1465 01:21:49,175 --> 01:21:52,535 Speaker 5: Home and Garden Show continuous group of there and they've 1466 01:21:52,575 --> 01:21:57,735 Speaker 5: got a system which allows replacement that comes off facier 1467 01:21:57,815 --> 01:22:00,575 Speaker 5: goes on, external spouting goes on, so there is ready 1468 01:22:00,615 --> 01:22:03,295 Speaker 5: made systems available to swap those out. 1469 01:22:03,735 --> 01:22:03,855 Speaker 2: Right. 1470 01:22:04,255 --> 01:22:07,215 Speaker 5: We are going to talk all things building and construction 1471 01:22:07,375 --> 01:22:09,135 Speaker 5: for the next half hour through to late thirty. Then 1472 01:22:09,135 --> 01:22:11,215 Speaker 5: we're into the garden with red climb pass from eight 1473 01:22:11,255 --> 01:22:14,135 Speaker 5: to thirty.

We had jur painting expert on, 1485 01:22:54,895 --> 01:22:57,415 Speaker 5: so it's your opportunity to ask questions of a building 1486 01:22:57,535 --> 01:22:59,775 Speaker 5: nature right through to eight thirty and then we will 1487 01:22:59,815 --> 01:23:02,175 Speaker 5: jump into the garden with a ret climb pass. From 1488 01:23:02,255 --> 01:23:07,095 Speaker 5: eight point thirty as well. Quick couple of texts as 1489 01:23:07,135 --> 01:23:10,135 Speaker 5: well before we took to Lewis two large double glazed 1490 01:23:10,175 --> 01:23:14,095 Speaker 5: windows and endorsed stacker that are fogging inside between the 1491 01:23:14,175 --> 01:23:17,495 Speaker 5: glass panels. It happens after it's been sunny and then 1492 01:23:17,575 --> 01:23:20,615 Speaker 5: starts cooling down the cooler months of the year. Is 1493 01:23:20,735 --> 01:23:23,655 Speaker 5: this normal or perhaps a sign of faulty seals? We 1494 01:23:23,735 --> 01:23:26,895 Speaker 5: had them installed about eight years ago, but the fogging 1495 01:23:26,935 --> 01:23:29,855 Speaker 5: has just started in the last year. What are our 1496 01:23:29,935 --> 01:23:34,095 Speaker 5: options and your advice to remedy this. Well, unfortunately, there 1497 01:23:34,135 --> 01:23:40,575 Speaker 5: probably is no remedy apart from replacement, so it's reasonable 1498 01:23:40,655 --> 01:23:43,455 Speaker 5: to expect the DJ units not to perform like that 1499 01:23:43,655 --> 01:23:46,255 Speaker 5: within eight years. So I think if you know who 1500 01:23:46,375 --> 01:23:51,255 Speaker 5: installed them or more importantly, who manufactured them, well probably 1501 01:23:51,295 --> 01:23:56,095 Speaker 5: both things are actually important. So one of the things 1502 01:23:56,095 --> 01:23:58,295 Speaker 5: with double glazed units is when they're installed you need 1503 01:23:58,335 --> 01:24:00,135 Speaker 5: to make sure that they are gapped at the bottom 1504 01:24:01,135 --> 01:24:04,215 Speaker 5: because if they're just installed hard down onto the frame, 1505 01:24:04,775 --> 01:24:07,615 Speaker 5: they are likely to absorb more or it can penetrate 1506 01:24:07,695 --> 01:24:11,935 Speaker 5: the selant. So installation might have been the issue, or 1507 01:24:11,975 --> 01:24:15,095 Speaker 5: it might have been a manufacturing fault. Either way, find 1508 01:24:15,135 --> 01:24:18,055 Speaker 5: out who the manufacturer was and invite them back to 1509 01:24:18,175 --> 01:24:20,295 Speaker 5: have a look at it and see what you can do. 1510 01:24:20,375 --> 01:24:23,695 Speaker 5: In terms of replacement, Do you need a building consent 1511 01:24:23,815 --> 01:24:27,135 Speaker 5: to replace a wooden sash single glazed window with new 1512 01:24:27,415 --> 01:24:31,535 Speaker 5: uPVC double glazed windows. This is for a non heritage 1513 01:24:32,615 --> 01:24:37,215 Speaker 5: listed or zoned house. No, you don't. So what you're 1514 01:24:37,215 --> 01:24:40,215 Speaker 5: talking about there is the insert might be the insert 1515 01:24:40,455 --> 01:24:45,855 Speaker 5: system where timber frame you keep, You remove the sashes 1516 01:24:45,935 --> 01:24:48,815 Speaker 5: and the mullions and any fixed sashes, and a new 1517 01:24:49,495 --> 01:24:54,495 Speaker 5: uPVC insert is fitted into that. I was talking actually 1518 01:24:54,535 --> 01:24:56,975 Speaker 5: with sort of a mate who wanted to do something 1519 01:24:57,015 --> 01:25:00,615 Speaker 5: similar the other day. Put them in touch with Stark Windows. 1520 01:25:00,975 --> 01:25:03,775 Speaker 5: They've got a contractor who specialize in this sort of thing. 1521 01:25:03,895 --> 01:25:08,135 Speaker 5: So yes, it's definitely doable. If you're not changing the window, 1522 01:25:08,255 --> 01:25:10,415 Speaker 5: Even if you were taking the entire window out and 1523 01:25:10,495 --> 01:25:13,415 Speaker 5: replacing it with one pretty much the same size, If 1524 01:25:13,415 --> 01:25:16,495 Speaker 5: you're not altering the width of the opening, you don't 1525 01:25:16,535 --> 01:25:20,175 Speaker 5: need a building consent for that type of work. It's 1526 01:25:20,935 --> 01:25:23,455 Speaker 5: done under shood. You're one of the building acts. And look, 1527 01:25:23,535 --> 01:25:28,255 Speaker 5: the performance games are significant obviously with the uPVC but 1528 01:25:28,375 --> 01:25:31,575 Speaker 5: also with the double blazing. Put those two together, it'll 1529 01:25:31,655 --> 01:25:34,095 Speaker 5: transform the house. Oh wait, one hundred and eighty ten 1530 01:25:34,175 --> 01:25:35,095 Speaker 5: eighty is the number to call. 1531 01:25:35,215 --> 01:25:38,655 Speaker 2: Hello, Lewis good a Peter. 1532 01:25:39,735 --> 01:25:42,455 Speaker 14: I'd like to talk to you about the Fencing Act, 1533 01:25:42,735 --> 01:25:47,935 Speaker 14: sure if I may. I live in North wite Kadow. 1534 01:25:48,615 --> 01:25:52,535 Speaker 14: I looked up the White Kadow website and they told 1535 01:25:52,615 --> 01:25:58,575 Speaker 14: me the Fencing Act was nineteen seventy nine, and I 1536 01:25:58,815 --> 01:26:04,535 Speaker 14: couldn't find any update date for the current Fencing Act, 1537 01:26:04,695 --> 01:26:08,735 Speaker 14: which is, as you know, six hundred diameter, six hundred 1538 01:26:08,815 --> 01:26:14,455 Speaker 14: deep footings, one hundred posts, two two meters center, maximum 1539 01:26:15,775 --> 01:26:18,695 Speaker 14: free rails, etc. Could you give me that date that 1540 01:26:18,935 --> 01:26:20,215 Speaker 14: come into forest please. 1541 01:26:20,375 --> 01:26:22,775 Speaker 5: I don't know that there's actually been an update since 1542 01:26:22,815 --> 01:26:27,335 Speaker 5: the date that you mentioned. I think what might have 1543 01:26:27,535 --> 01:26:31,735 Speaker 5: changed is the definition of a standard fence, because prior 1544 01:26:31,855 --> 01:26:35,415 Speaker 5: to that time a standard fence was actually I think 1545 01:26:35,455 --> 01:26:39,015 Speaker 5: it was a couple of warritas and three rows of 1546 01:26:39,175 --> 01:26:42,175 Speaker 5: number eight fencing wire that was considered a standard fence. 1547 01:26:42,695 --> 01:26:46,095 Speaker 5: So now it is as you've described it. Good on 1548 01:26:46,175 --> 01:26:48,015 Speaker 5: you for reading through it. I'm a little bit intrigued 1549 01:26:48,055 --> 01:26:52,055 Speaker 5: about the six hundred diameter hole for the post to 1550 01:26:52,135 --> 01:26:55,575 Speaker 5: sit in. That seems a bit excessive, like that's a 1551 01:26:55,695 --> 01:26:58,655 Speaker 5: lot of concrete around one hundred bi hundred post. 1552 01:26:59,935 --> 01:27:05,495 Speaker 14: Yes, well that's what that's where I believe the requirement is. 1553 01:27:05,695 --> 01:27:10,535 Speaker 5: Okay, well, that's interesting. I'm a little bit skeptical, to 1554 01:27:10,615 --> 01:27:13,655 Speaker 5: be fair, that seems like a very detailed and very 1555 01:27:14,455 --> 01:27:16,575 Speaker 5: and quite an excessive I mean, if I'm doing a fence, 1556 01:27:16,655 --> 01:27:20,655 Speaker 5: I'm not using a six hundred orger and then putting 1557 01:27:20,655 --> 01:27:23,655 Speaker 5: one hundred bye hundred posts in there. You know, I 1558 01:27:23,735 --> 01:27:25,855 Speaker 5: might be using a three hundred orger and then may 1559 01:27:25,935 --> 01:27:27,735 Speaker 5: be squaring it off a bit, but it ain't going 1560 01:27:27,815 --> 01:27:30,455 Speaker 5: to be six hundred but either way, So I think 1561 01:27:30,495 --> 01:27:32,935 Speaker 5: what it is is the definition of a standard fence 1562 01:27:32,975 --> 01:27:35,775 Speaker 5: has changed, but the act in terms of you know, 1563 01:27:35,895 --> 01:27:38,055 Speaker 5: having to write a letter, in terms of engagement with 1564 01:27:38,255 --> 01:27:41,775 Speaker 5: the neighbor, their contribution and so on, that stayed the same. 1565 01:27:41,935 --> 01:27:44,695 Speaker 5: The principles have stayed the same. It's only the specifics 1566 01:27:44,735 --> 01:27:46,975 Speaker 5: around what is a standard fence that's changed. 1567 01:27:48,815 --> 01:27:52,135 Speaker 14: Oh, I'm surprised that I've built a few offences in 1568 01:27:52,295 --> 01:27:57,895 Speaker 14: my time on why Hickey had a whole lot of 1569 01:27:58,495 --> 01:28:04,375 Speaker 14: special requirements for putting in fences, even had to get 1570 01:28:04,415 --> 01:28:07,695 Speaker 14: the council to come out and verify where you're going 1571 01:28:07,775 --> 01:28:10,015 Speaker 14: to dig the holes for the posts. And you've got 1572 01:28:10,135 --> 01:28:13,815 Speaker 14: to dig them by hand. They were all three hundred 1573 01:28:13,935 --> 01:28:18,295 Speaker 14: diameter posts. The last fence I built on my Hickey, 1574 01:28:20,375 --> 01:28:24,295 Speaker 14: I was under the new system of two meter maximum centers. 1575 01:28:25,295 --> 01:28:30,335 Speaker 14: They required six hundred diameter footings poured in plastic bags. 1576 01:28:33,895 --> 01:28:38,295 Speaker 14: At the moment, I couldn't find any date where this 1577 01:28:38,575 --> 01:28:42,895 Speaker 14: new requirement come into force, but I think it was 1578 01:28:43,015 --> 01:28:48,775 Speaker 14: about two thousand and two thousand and five somewhere around there. 1579 01:28:48,935 --> 01:28:51,895 Speaker 5: So I've just had a look. So there's the Fencing 1580 01:28:51,935 --> 01:28:54,655 Speaker 5: Act nineteen seventy eight is still called the Fencing Act 1581 01:28:54,735 --> 01:28:58,495 Speaker 5: nineteen seventy eight, but there is a version, an updated 1582 01:28:58,575 --> 01:29:04,735 Speaker 5: version twenty thirty December twenty twenty three, twenty three. 1583 01:29:07,815 --> 01:29:12,335 Speaker 14: I was right on the money twenty twenty three. Well 1584 01:29:12,375 --> 01:29:13,215 Speaker 14: that's what I'm at. 1585 01:29:13,415 --> 01:29:17,855 Speaker 5: Yeah, But just just for clarity, I think if you know, 1586 01:29:18,575 --> 01:29:22,135 Speaker 5: like if counsel are involved in the fence, then I 1587 01:29:22,255 --> 01:29:26,255 Speaker 5: wonder whether that fence is then part of a building consent, 1588 01:29:27,495 --> 01:29:30,575 Speaker 5: in which case you know there will be specific design 1589 01:29:30,655 --> 01:29:33,975 Speaker 5: and so on. Typically you don't need a building consent 1590 01:29:34,255 --> 01:29:37,255 Speaker 5: to do a boundary fence between two neighbors. If it's 1591 01:29:37,575 --> 01:29:40,255 Speaker 5: not retaining or it's not it doesn't have a surcharge, 1592 01:29:40,335 --> 01:29:42,535 Speaker 5: or it's not over a certain height and that sort 1593 01:29:42,575 --> 01:29:47,815 Speaker 5: of thing. Yeah, it won't get specific design. 1594 01:29:49,015 --> 01:29:54,455 Speaker 14: Right. Well, the situation I'm in, I've got a neighbor 1595 01:29:54,575 --> 01:30:01,335 Speaker 14: who's removed the support from the ground around right the 1596 01:30:01,535 --> 01:30:07,695 Speaker 14: area up underneath the fence posts into our by at 1597 01:30:07,815 --> 01:30:12,975 Speaker 14: least fifty millimeters, and he's removed all the support around 1598 01:30:13,055 --> 01:30:18,415 Speaker 14: the foundations of the fence, which are six hundred diameter 1599 01:30:18,535 --> 01:30:22,535 Speaker 14: with one hundred posts. The builder had recently replaced a 1600 01:30:22,655 --> 01:30:26,535 Speaker 14: fence which was built in nineteen ninety five, and this 1601 01:30:26,815 --> 01:30:30,415 Speaker 14: was done about six months ago. That seems all right. 1602 01:30:32,415 --> 01:30:36,295 Speaker 14: This neighbor has cut the back of the fence. He's 1603 01:30:36,415 --> 01:30:41,575 Speaker 14: removed all the support, exposed all the fence foundations. He's 1604 01:30:41,775 --> 01:30:51,495 Speaker 14: taking a dry concrete cutting sare or whatever, and he's 1605 01:30:51,655 --> 01:30:56,015 Speaker 14: cut down the back of the posts. So he's cut 1606 01:30:56,135 --> 01:30:59,055 Speaker 14: two hundred and fifty millimeters off the back of the 1607 01:30:59,215 --> 01:31:04,615 Speaker 14: concrete foundations and then knocked it off with a sledgehammer, 1608 01:31:05,135 --> 01:31:08,415 Speaker 14: and he's taken it down about four hundred and fifty 1609 01:31:08,535 --> 01:31:12,135 Speaker 14: millim meters in some places. I haven't measured any of 1610 01:31:12,255 --> 01:31:14,495 Speaker 14: these because I haven't been over there. I've just been 1611 01:31:14,575 --> 01:31:19,935 Speaker 14: looking over the since I've sewn the council and they've 1612 01:31:20,015 --> 01:31:21,255 Speaker 14: basically done nothing. 1613 01:31:22,295 --> 01:31:24,455 Speaker 5: No, they'll regard it as a civil matter. 1614 01:31:26,775 --> 01:31:27,735 Speaker 7: So where do I go? 1615 01:31:27,935 --> 01:31:28,095 Speaker 6: Now? 1616 01:31:28,255 --> 01:31:29,095 Speaker 14: Go to the courts? 1617 01:31:29,455 --> 01:31:30,175 Speaker 5: Yeah, pretty much. 1618 01:31:31,055 --> 01:31:32,975 Speaker 7: So there is. 1619 01:31:34,695 --> 01:31:38,575 Speaker 5: Under the property law, so Property Act right, there is 1620 01:31:38,695 --> 01:31:41,975 Speaker 5: some provision around you know, if a neighbor undermines you fence, 1621 01:31:42,095 --> 01:31:44,055 Speaker 5: you can make a claim against the neighbor. And that 1622 01:31:44,215 --> 01:31:48,575 Speaker 5: sounds exactly like what they've done, you know, And I mean, 1623 01:31:48,895 --> 01:31:51,375 Speaker 5: you know, what you would hope is that if for example, 1624 01:31:51,455 --> 01:31:53,615 Speaker 5: they were doing some earthworks on their side to get 1625 01:31:53,615 --> 01:31:56,055 Speaker 5: a driveway, and for example, and they needed to get 1626 01:31:56,095 --> 01:31:58,495 Speaker 5: the levels down and they were going to have to 1627 01:31:59,015 --> 01:32:01,455 Speaker 5: undermine your fence, they would also put in a retaining 1628 01:32:01,535 --> 01:32:03,895 Speaker 5: wall that would then offer some support to the fence. 1629 01:32:04,975 --> 01:32:09,095 Speaker 5: But that comes a civil matter. So yeah, it is, 1630 01:32:10,415 --> 01:32:12,455 Speaker 5: you know, I mean the you might want to get 1631 01:32:12,455 --> 01:32:14,815 Speaker 5: your lawyer involved, or you might want to do your 1632 01:32:14,855 --> 01:32:17,415 Speaker 5: own sort of legal research and then take a claim 1633 01:32:17,535 --> 01:32:21,335 Speaker 5: through the disputes tribunal to see whether or not you 1634 01:32:21,335 --> 01:32:24,215 Speaker 5: can get a contribution for a new retaining wall, or 1635 01:32:24,655 --> 01:32:27,295 Speaker 5: just go over have a conversation and go look, you've 1636 01:32:27,295 --> 01:32:29,615 Speaker 5: obviously dug down the fence is going to fall over. 1637 01:32:30,175 --> 01:32:33,615 Speaker 5: Can you do a retaining wall there? And you might 1638 01:32:33,735 --> 01:32:37,735 Speaker 5: contribute to it, you might not, but it'll it'll always 1639 01:32:37,815 --> 01:32:39,895 Speaker 5: be just a discussion between you and the neighbor. 1640 01:32:42,975 --> 01:32:46,655 Speaker 14: I actually live in a retirement village. 1641 01:32:47,175 --> 01:32:51,655 Speaker 5: Whoever you're you're acting for might be you know, whoever 1642 01:32:51,695 --> 01:32:54,175 Speaker 5: you whoever the interested parties are, they'll have to have 1643 01:32:54,215 --> 01:32:57,015 Speaker 5: a bit of a discussion and determine how they're going 1644 01:32:57,095 --> 01:33:00,215 Speaker 5: to resolve that. But you know, look, I get the frustration, 1645 01:33:00,535 --> 01:33:02,815 Speaker 5: and it happens a lot with developments. There's a big 1646 01:33:03,415 --> 01:33:05,935 Speaker 5: article in the paper the other day a family came 1647 01:33:05,975 --> 01:33:09,215 Speaker 5: home find their hedge, their four meter high hedge had 1648 01:33:09,295 --> 01:33:13,895 Speaker 5: been removed right because the builder next door cut through 1649 01:33:13,935 --> 01:33:15,535 Speaker 5: all the roots and then thought, oh, it looks like 1650 01:33:15,575 --> 01:33:17,535 Speaker 5: they're going to fall over. I'll just take them out. Well, 1651 01:33:18,135 --> 01:33:21,135 Speaker 5: that sort of thing. Have the conversation first seems to 1652 01:33:21,215 --> 01:33:23,735 Speaker 5: be the answer. Good luck with all of that, Lewis, 1653 01:33:23,815 --> 01:33:26,135 Speaker 5: and good on you for looking after somebody else as well. 1654 01:33:26,375 --> 01:33:28,975 Speaker 5: Oh wait, one hundred eighty ten eighty is the number 1655 01:33:28,975 --> 01:33:34,735 Speaker 5: to call quick one from you, Bob?

I've got 1688 01:35:28,655 --> 01:35:35,335 Speaker 19: a balcony out of my upstairs bedroom which is some tiles. 1689 01:35:36,335 --> 01:35:40,895 Speaker 19: It's a wooden balcony. It's good tiles which and I 1690 01:35:40,935 --> 01:35:45,975 Speaker 19: think you know underneath ye. Over the last eighty months 1691 01:35:46,015 --> 01:35:48,935 Speaker 19: I've had a huge subdivision development going on less than 1692 01:35:49,055 --> 01:35:52,975 Speaker 19: three meters away, so hence wild there was a couple 1693 01:35:52,975 --> 01:35:55,855 Speaker 19: of cracktailes. I've got, you know, really bad cracktailes, and 1694 01:35:56,015 --> 01:35:58,975 Speaker 19: the groutings are loose and everything else. I'm looking at 1695 01:35:59,095 --> 01:36:04,335 Speaker 19: selling shortly. Do I when do I replace it? Before 1696 01:36:04,375 --> 01:36:08,255 Speaker 19: I fell on two I have had one quote which 1697 01:36:08,295 --> 01:36:13,935 Speaker 19: is about twenty fourced out. Is there something cheaper you 1698 01:36:14,015 --> 01:36:17,135 Speaker 19: can do it with? About maybe the tiling or do 1699 01:36:17,295 --> 01:36:19,735 Speaker 19: I need to replate the waterproofine. 1700 01:36:21,415 --> 01:36:24,175 Speaker 5: I guess the first question is does it leak. 1701 01:36:29,895 --> 01:36:34,775 Speaker 19: Downstairs? Yeah, there's one week occasionally when the wind blows 1702 01:36:35,135 --> 01:36:37,735 Speaker 19: ways that I've had it tested three or four years 1703 01:36:37,775 --> 01:36:41,975 Speaker 19: ago and the guys couldn't find a leak by actually screwting. 1704 01:36:41,575 --> 01:36:42,095 Speaker 18: The deck. 1705 01:36:43,615 --> 01:36:44,775 Speaker 19: The deck type thing. 1706 01:36:45,295 --> 01:36:49,455 Speaker 5: So in most instances, because again, if you're going to sell, 1707 01:36:49,695 --> 01:36:52,295 Speaker 5: it's going to be one of the questions, and certainly 1708 01:36:53,055 --> 01:36:57,335 Speaker 5: any halfway decent pre purchase inspection person who comes to 1709 01:36:57,375 --> 01:36:59,935 Speaker 5: look at it will go okay. So what we see 1710 01:36:59,975 --> 01:37:06,655 Speaker 5: here is you know, timber, substrate, butanol application direct fix tile. Now, 1711 01:37:07,535 --> 01:37:09,895 Speaker 5: even if the job was done really, really well, there's 1712 01:37:09,895 --> 01:37:12,095 Speaker 5: a couple of things. One is you're not allowed to 1713 01:37:12,095 --> 01:37:14,215 Speaker 5: build like that anymore for a number of good reasons. 1714 01:37:14,335 --> 01:37:16,575 Speaker 5: The other one is that it's possibly reaching the end 1715 01:37:16,615 --> 01:37:20,695 Speaker 5: of its life, and serviceability is difficult because if there's 1716 01:37:20,735 --> 01:37:23,775 Speaker 5: a problem with the waterproofing, you can't get to it 1717 01:37:23,815 --> 01:37:26,655 Speaker 5: because the tiles are stuck down to it. Certainly removing 1718 01:37:26,735 --> 01:37:29,375 Speaker 5: the tiles is going to damage the waterproofing, in which 1719 01:37:29,455 --> 01:37:34,335 Speaker 5: case you need to replace or repair the waterproofing membrane, 1720 01:37:34,855 --> 01:37:39,455 Speaker 5: and then you can't direct fixed tiles down to waterproofing 1721 01:37:39,535 --> 01:37:43,975 Speaker 5: membrane anymore. So you could do like a timber deck, 1722 01:37:44,095 --> 01:37:46,135 Speaker 5: or you could use jacks with tiles. 1723 01:37:47,455 --> 01:37:51,575 Speaker 19: Yeah, so that legally that you can't now direct. 1724 01:37:54,095 --> 01:37:57,175 Speaker 5: Well, it's certainly not compliant with the building code anymore 1725 01:37:57,255 --> 01:37:59,615 Speaker 5: to direct fix it. And to be fair, I'd be 1726 01:37:59,655 --> 01:38:05,055 Speaker 5: disappointed if a contractor came along and did what was 1727 01:38:05,135 --> 01:38:07,455 Speaker 5: there already, even if they said, look, it's maintenance, I'm 1728 01:38:07,495 --> 01:38:09,975 Speaker 5: doing like for like. The reality is we know that 1729 01:38:10,095 --> 01:38:13,015 Speaker 5: these things cause a problem, and so you don't want 1730 01:38:13,015 --> 01:38:15,815 Speaker 5: to leave that problem with somebody else. In fact, if 1731 01:38:15,855 --> 01:38:17,655 Speaker 5: they were to do it and you sold the house 1732 01:38:17,695 --> 01:38:20,055 Speaker 5: and there's a problem with it, they would be I 1733 01:38:20,175 --> 01:38:28,015 Speaker 5: think liable for the repairs. So I mean there are 1734 01:38:28,135 --> 01:38:32,855 Speaker 5: some systems whereby you could, for example, have the tiles removed. 1735 01:38:32,935 --> 01:38:36,495 Speaker 5: There will likely be some damage to the butteanyl if 1736 01:38:36,535 --> 01:38:39,895 Speaker 5: the buttanyle generally is in reasonable condition, as in it's 1737 01:38:39,975 --> 01:38:44,055 Speaker 5: still well adhered to the substrate, you could do a 1738 01:38:44,175 --> 01:38:47,735 Speaker 5: coating over the top of that and then place what 1739 01:38:47,855 --> 01:38:50,695 Speaker 5: they could like booz on jacks or they're like a 1740 01:38:50,895 --> 01:38:53,615 Speaker 5: plastic jack that you can put down on top, and 1741 01:38:53,695 --> 01:38:55,735 Speaker 5: then you can get some of them which allow you 1742 01:38:55,815 --> 01:38:58,375 Speaker 5: to put tiles directly on them, so thickt tiles like 1743 01:38:58,455 --> 01:39:02,895 Speaker 5: a nineteen mill tile and have effectively a floating deck 1744 01:39:03,175 --> 01:39:06,335 Speaker 5: or floating surface over the top of the waterproofing. The 1745 01:39:06,375 --> 01:39:08,575 Speaker 5: advantage of that is that if there was ever a 1746 01:39:08,735 --> 01:39:11,295 Speaker 5: problem with the waterproofing, you can lift those out and 1747 01:39:11,455 --> 01:39:16,535 Speaker 5: get access to the waterproofing for repair. So that would 1748 01:39:16,575 --> 01:39:20,855 Speaker 5: be a much more cost effective solution, you know, But 1749 01:39:20,975 --> 01:39:25,095 Speaker 5: there's you've got to be realistic around the limitations of 1750 01:39:25,575 --> 01:39:30,215 Speaker 5: how waterproof that might be. If you had extensive waterproofing issues, 1751 01:39:31,415 --> 01:39:34,615 Speaker 5: and you know, in all fairness to the contractors, typically 1752 01:39:34,695 --> 01:39:36,535 Speaker 5: if you were doing that work and you wanted to 1753 01:39:36,575 --> 01:39:40,055 Speaker 5: do a sort of absolute belt embraces approach, you might 1754 01:39:40,135 --> 01:39:42,375 Speaker 5: be taking the joinery out, you'd be taking the lower 1755 01:39:42,455 --> 01:39:44,655 Speaker 5: parts of the cladding off, you'd be stripping off the 1756 01:39:44,975 --> 01:39:49,655 Speaker 5: waterproofing completely. You might find for that vintage that the 1757 01:39:49,775 --> 01:39:53,175 Speaker 5: plywood that's underneath it will be untreated. In some cases, 1758 01:39:53,295 --> 01:39:57,255 Speaker 5: I've seen that plywood fix down with clouds. The clouds 1759 01:39:57,535 --> 01:40:01,135 Speaker 5: work their way out of the joist and then the 1760 01:40:01,215 --> 01:40:04,415 Speaker 5: head pops up above the plywood and is visible, and 1761 01:40:04,895 --> 01:40:08,415 Speaker 5: that can be I've seen it cut through the waterproofing. 1762 01:40:08,815 --> 01:40:11,175 Speaker 5: So then you say, okay, well then my ply would's 1763 01:40:11,215 --> 01:40:12,695 Speaker 5: no good, So I'm going to rip up all the ply, 1764 01:40:12,815 --> 01:40:17,535 Speaker 5: would replace that, maybe increase the fall threshold might not 1765 01:40:17,615 --> 01:40:20,135 Speaker 5: be one hundred and fifty millimeters, which it's required by 1766 01:40:20,175 --> 01:40:25,015 Speaker 5: the code. Now you can see how these things get complicated. 1767 01:40:25,335 --> 01:40:26,295 Speaker 14: Yes, exactly. 1768 01:40:26,735 --> 01:40:32,495 Speaker 19: Yeah, sorry, But in terms of a straightforw. 1769 01:40:31,935 --> 01:40:36,335 Speaker 5: Would repair, it would be remove the tiles, apply waterproofing 1770 01:40:36,455 --> 01:40:39,175 Speaker 5: coating that is compatible with the bututinyl, and there are 1771 01:40:39,255 --> 01:40:42,775 Speaker 5: some of those. There's one product called Injurist that I've 1772 01:40:42,895 --> 01:40:46,455 Speaker 5: used recently, not for that application, but a similar type thing. 1773 01:40:48,255 --> 01:40:51,015 Speaker 5: Then you know the jacks and the tiles, that'll give 1774 01:40:51,055 --> 01:40:55,855 Speaker 5: you a finish that's maintainable, attractive to look at, and 1775 01:40:56,415 --> 01:40:58,815 Speaker 5: you know it's a reasonable solution. 1776 01:41:00,055 --> 01:41:00,255 Speaker 7: Yeah. 1777 01:41:00,935 --> 01:41:03,015 Speaker 19: Is there any other sort of like I was sort 1778 01:41:03,055 --> 01:41:09,335 Speaker 19: of looking like a place called Superior Waterproofing of something. 1779 01:41:09,455 --> 01:41:14,255 Speaker 19: Is there any other besides putting tiles down? Any other options? 1780 01:41:14,775 --> 01:41:18,495 Speaker 5: Well, essentially you either tend to go tiles or timber. Right, 1781 01:41:18,615 --> 01:41:21,055 Speaker 5: so you might make up a raft like a timber 1782 01:41:21,175 --> 01:41:25,615 Speaker 5: raft that sits on these jacks on these pedestals. The 1783 01:41:25,695 --> 01:41:29,895 Speaker 5: whole thing is whatever we put over waterproofing in that 1784 01:41:30,055 --> 01:41:33,415 Speaker 5: situation where it's protecting a habitable space below has to 1785 01:41:33,495 --> 01:41:37,295 Speaker 5: be serviceable. So whatever decking system, whether it's tiles or timber, 1786 01:41:37,695 --> 01:41:40,255 Speaker 5: that you put down, has to be designed in such 1787 01:41:40,255 --> 01:41:43,175 Speaker 5: a way as it can be demountable, can be lifted up, 1788 01:41:43,255 --> 01:41:47,055 Speaker 5: and you can get access to the waterproofing for maintenance. 1789 01:41:47,815 --> 01:41:50,255 Speaker 5: So yeah, you can do timber or you can do tiles. 1790 01:41:52,895 --> 01:41:56,415 Speaker 5: All right, all right, couple of options therefore you okay, 1791 01:41:56,535 --> 01:41:58,575 Speaker 5: thank you very much, good luck all the us. Take 1792 01:41:58,615 --> 01:42:05,295 Speaker 5: care of them, all of us. Quick text before we 1793 01:42:05,335 --> 01:42:07,495 Speaker 5: get rid. Actually this is really interesting. One morning, I've 1794 01:42:07,535 --> 01:42:09,415 Speaker 5: sold part of my land so the neighbors can create 1795 01:42:09,455 --> 01:42:12,055 Speaker 5: a driveway for better access to their property. We had 1796 01:42:12,095 --> 01:42:14,815 Speaker 5: someone come over quote the work, accepted it and it 1797 01:42:14,895 --> 01:42:17,695 Speaker 5: got underway. Halfway through, they realized that a retaining war 1798 01:42:17,815 --> 01:42:20,615 Speaker 5: was needed and wanted to charge us an extra thirty 1799 01:42:20,695 --> 01:42:24,135 Speaker 5: grand to complete this. Where do myself and the contractors stand. 1800 01:42:24,575 --> 01:42:27,295 Speaker 5: The contractor has taken some ownership, but the quote has 1801 01:42:27,815 --> 01:42:32,215 Speaker 5: changed significantly since then. It's a really challenging one because 1802 01:42:32,815 --> 01:42:36,455 Speaker 5: you know, like a reconably well informed contractor will know 1803 01:42:36,615 --> 01:42:42,775 Speaker 5: what the heights will be, and you know it's not 1804 01:42:42,895 --> 01:42:48,255 Speaker 5: like a retaining wall magically suddenly becomes necessary. So you know, 1805 01:42:48,535 --> 01:42:52,775 Speaker 5: was there a problem with the scope of works? You know, 1806 01:42:53,295 --> 01:42:56,495 Speaker 5: when asking the contractor to price for work, did the 1807 01:42:56,575 --> 01:42:59,735 Speaker 5: floor levels or the finished ground levels not be clearly 1808 01:42:59,935 --> 01:43:03,615 Speaker 5: identified or did he just simply or they not take 1809 01:43:04,135 --> 01:43:09,615 Speaker 5: responsibility take due care here to ensure that if they 1810 01:43:09,655 --> 01:43:11,775 Speaker 5: were going to excavate down half a meter, for example, 1811 01:43:11,815 --> 01:43:15,255 Speaker 5: then you're going to need a retaining wall. But of 1812 01:43:15,335 --> 01:43:17,135 Speaker 5: course if it's not in their quote, if they didn't 1813 01:43:17,175 --> 01:43:19,255 Speaker 5: quote for a retaining wall, then it becomes a kind 1814 01:43:19,295 --> 01:43:22,255 Speaker 5: of ethical thing as to should they have informed you 1815 01:43:22,535 --> 01:43:24,535 Speaker 5: that a retaining war was likely so that you could 1816 01:43:24,575 --> 01:43:28,015 Speaker 5: price it into the job. Be interesting to know how 1817 01:43:28,055 --> 01:43:30,735 Speaker 5: you get on with that one.
