16
00:01:39,015 --> 00:01:41,295
Speaker 6: along to the Resident Builder on Sunday.

17
00:01:41,335 --> 00:01:43,855
Speaker 2: You're with me, Peter wolf Camp, the Resident Builder, and

18
00:01:44,015 --> 00:01:48,015
Speaker 2: this is your opportunity to talk all things building. That's

19
00:01:48,175 --> 00:01:51,535
Speaker 2: all things building houses, all things building apartments, all things

20
00:01:51,575 --> 00:01:56,615
Speaker 2: building fences, decks. In my case yesterday, a temporary excess

21
00:01:56,775 --> 00:02:02,175
Speaker 2: ramp for a mate who'd basically broken his leg and

22
00:02:02,615 --> 00:02:05,295
Speaker 2: was going to find it very difficult to transition from

23
00:02:05,495 --> 00:02:09,975
Speaker 2: the entrance to to the front door, so it was like, hey,

24
00:02:09,975 --> 00:02:11,695
Speaker 2: can you find someone to do it? And to be fair,

25
00:02:11,735 --> 00:02:14,135
Speaker 2: it was in the end I had a little bit

26
00:02:14,175 --> 00:02:17,895
Speaker 2: of time on Saturday and grab some ply and some

27
00:02:17,935 --> 00:02:19,935
Speaker 2: timber and then trying to figure out how do you

28
00:02:19,975 --> 00:02:22,335
Speaker 2: make a platform that's level when the deck is falling

29
00:02:22,375 --> 00:02:24,815
Speaker 2: twenty five mil and then the ramp that comes off

30
00:02:24,815 --> 00:02:27,455
Speaker 2: the side of it has to fall at a certain rate,

31
00:02:27,535 --> 00:02:30,775
Speaker 2: but then it intersects with the slope of the deck

32
00:02:30,935 --> 00:02:33,775
Speaker 2: and that's got to be a smooth trendition. Anyway, it

33
00:02:33,815 --> 00:02:35,815
Speaker 2: was a nice little job. It was one of those

34
00:02:35,895 --> 00:02:38,335
Speaker 2: jobs made so much easier by the fact that I'd

35
00:02:38,335 --> 00:02:42,535
Speaker 2: finished another project just a day or so earlier, had

36
00:02:42,575 --> 00:02:45,295
Speaker 2: been able to have a cleanup in the workshop, and

37
00:02:45,415 --> 00:02:48,975
Speaker 2: my workbench, which is typically either covered in projects or

38
00:02:49,095 --> 00:02:53,695
Speaker 2: just stuff, was absolutely empty. So the workshop was tidy,

39
00:02:53,735 --> 00:02:56,455
Speaker 2: or my workspace was tidy, the bench was empty. It

40
00:02:56,455 --> 00:02:58,735
Speaker 2: was almost like it was waiting for me to do something,

41
00:02:59,015 --> 00:03:01,295
Speaker 2: and along came that job on a Saturday. So if

42
00:03:01,335 --> 00:03:07,215
Speaker 2: you are building something, maintaining something, renovating something about getting

43
00:03:07,695 --> 00:03:12,215
Speaker 2: new products, new ideas, working with contractors, anything to do

44
00:03:12,375 --> 00:03:15,695
Speaker 2: with owning or looking after your own home. Oh, eight

59
00:03:56,175 --> 00:03:59,615
Speaker 2: you can email that to me. That's Peaked at NEWSTALKSTB

60
00:03:59,855 --> 00:04:03,735
Speaker 2: dot co dot Nz Radio. Let's get into it because

61
00:04:04,015 --> 00:04:08,375
Speaker 2: it's a slightly shorter show. So much excitement in the

62
00:04:08,415 --> 00:04:11,655
Speaker 2: world of rugby that the Wallabies, I hope everyone knows

63
00:04:11,735 --> 00:04:15,615
Speaker 2: this came back from what were they twenty two zero

64
00:04:15,695 --> 00:04:19,815
Speaker 2: down after twenty minutes to beat the spring box? Was

65
00:04:19,855 --> 00:04:22,455
Speaker 2: it thirty eight or thirty nine to twenty two, so

66
00:04:22,655 --> 00:04:26,095
Speaker 2: phenomenal performance. I'm not sure whether that's a good thing

67
00:04:26,215 --> 00:04:28,535
Speaker 2: for the All Blacks ahead of the Argentina game. The

68
00:04:28,735 --> 00:04:32,135
Speaker 2: Argentina game, we hand over to the sports team at

69
00:04:32,175 --> 00:04:35,375
Speaker 2: eight forty five this morning, so Rudd will be with

70
00:04:35,535 --> 00:04:37,535
Speaker 2: us a little bit earlier. We'll try and give him

71
00:04:37,535 --> 00:04:40,015
Speaker 2: a decent amount of space. Ridd will join us a

72
00:04:40,055 --> 00:04:43,495
Speaker 2: bit earlier, just after eight twenty, and then we will

73
00:04:43,575 --> 00:04:46,575
Speaker 2: hand over to the sports commentary team from eight forty

74
00:04:46,655 --> 00:04:49,175
Speaker 2: five ahead of kickoff I think just a couple of

75
00:04:49,255 --> 00:04:53,295
Speaker 2: minutes after nine o'clock, so a slightly shorter show this morning,

76
00:04:53,695 --> 00:04:56,495
Speaker 2: but let's rip into it. So if you've got questions

77
00:04:56,575 --> 00:05:01,895
Speaker 2: of a building, nature, maintenance, renovations, alterations, just looking after

78
00:05:02,015 --> 00:05:04,975
Speaker 2: the place, you can give me a call right now

79
00:05:05,415 --> 00:05:08,855
Speaker 2: on eight hundred eighty ten eighty. If you are thinking

80
00:05:08,895 --> 00:05:12,015
Speaker 2: about lots of still lots of changes to legislation, so

81
00:05:12,135 --> 00:05:14,815
Speaker 2: maybe there's something out there that you're thinking about. You know,

82
00:05:15,015 --> 00:05:17,855
Speaker 2: when can I do it? Can I do it now?

83
00:05:18,575 --> 00:05:20,855
Speaker 2: I tell you what I'm a little bit curious about too,

84
00:05:21,615 --> 00:05:26,815
Speaker 2: particularly the announcement that was made by both David Seymour

85
00:05:27,015 --> 00:05:32,215
Speaker 2: and Chris Pink. This is sort of a response to

86
00:05:32,335 --> 00:05:36,815
Speaker 2: a tip from the Red Tape Tip Hop hotline. Apparently,

87
00:05:38,015 --> 00:05:39,935
Speaker 2: you know, why can't I put a garden shed right

88
00:05:40,015 --> 00:05:43,215
Speaker 2: up against the boundary? The rules have always been it

89
00:05:43,335 --> 00:05:44,935
Speaker 2: needs to be the height of the boundary, or the

90
00:05:45,015 --> 00:05:47,615
Speaker 2: height of the shed away from the boundary, or an

91
00:05:47,615 --> 00:05:52,335
Speaker 2: adjacent building. Which look, I don't think anyone ever did,

92
00:05:52,535 --> 00:05:54,655
Speaker 2: And if they did do it, they realized they were

93
00:05:54,695 --> 00:05:56,615
Speaker 2: losing a lot of space, so they tended to sneak

94
00:05:56,655 --> 00:05:59,375
Speaker 2: it back towards the fence. I'll put my hand up

95
00:05:59,455 --> 00:06:03,175
Speaker 2: to that as well. So now if it's less than

96
00:06:03,215 --> 00:06:05,815
Speaker 2: tens or up to ten square meters, it can go

97
00:06:06,015 --> 00:06:10,815
Speaker 2: harder to the boundary. Does that then mean that if

98
00:06:10,855 --> 00:06:13,855
Speaker 2: you've already got a shed that might be close to

99
00:06:13,975 --> 00:06:19,135
Speaker 2: the boundary, that it now becomes legal. I guess it does.

100
00:06:19,255 --> 00:06:21,815
Speaker 2: I don't think it's just for those sheds that might

101
00:06:21,975 --> 00:06:27,015
Speaker 2: be built after they're expecting the legislation come through towards

102
00:06:27,015 --> 00:06:28,775
Speaker 2: the end of the year. You may care to comment, Oh,

103
00:06:28,815 --> 00:06:31,095
Speaker 2: eight hundred eighty ten eighty is the number to call

104
00:06:31,215 --> 00:06:33,735
Speaker 2: if you've got a question of a building nature. We've

105
00:06:33,815 --> 00:06:36,415
Speaker 2: got things set up and ready to go. So the

106
00:06:36,495 --> 00:06:39,495
Speaker 2: lines are open. The number is eight hundred eighty ten eighty.

107
00:06:40,055 --> 00:06:42,215
Speaker 2: Remind me, I must tell you I went to what

108
00:06:42,415 --> 00:06:47,855
Speaker 2: felt like the Laddin's Cave of woodworking tools the other day. Well, no,

109
00:06:48,055 --> 00:06:51,815
Speaker 2: not really in the Laddin's Cave, because it wasn't free.

110
00:06:51,935 --> 00:06:54,655
Speaker 2: It was a store and it was absolutely freaking amazing.

111
00:06:54,695 --> 00:06:56,135
Speaker 2: It was fantastic. I'll tell you about that a little

112
00:06:56,135 --> 00:07:00,375
Speaker 2: bit later on. Robin, very good morning to you. Now

113
00:07:00,375 --> 00:07:02,375
Speaker 2: we going morning. I'm very well Robin yourself.

114
00:07:03,455 --> 00:07:08,335
Speaker 7: I'm das just trying to sell my house at the moment.

115
00:07:08,735 --> 00:07:12,615
Speaker 7: And so they come up on a reporting a possibility

116
00:07:12,815 --> 00:07:16,015
Speaker 7: as the loss from the nineteen eighties house of in

117
00:07:16,175 --> 00:07:21,855
Speaker 7: nineteen twenty eight when they did a renovation two thousand

118
00:07:21,895 --> 00:07:25,335
Speaker 7: and nine. Would there have been a chance all that

119
00:07:25,415 --> 00:07:27,495
Speaker 7: stuff would have been picked up when they had to

120
00:07:27,615 --> 00:07:31,495
Speaker 7: do renovation through a council. I just can't to find

121
00:07:31,535 --> 00:07:34,935
Speaker 7: anything on any reports con find it.

122
00:07:35,135 --> 00:07:36,535
Speaker 8: And so what do I do?

123
00:07:40,575 --> 00:07:40,735
Speaker 9: See?

124
00:07:41,615 --> 00:07:45,935
Speaker 2: It raises a couple of issues. One is around to

125
00:07:46,055 --> 00:07:50,615
Speaker 2: be blunt the professionalism of people doing pre purchase house inspections, right,

126
00:07:51,695 --> 00:07:54,535
Speaker 2: so you know, I mean it's a fair point to

127
00:07:54,655 --> 00:07:59,535
Speaker 2: say there could be asbestos in a property nineteen eighties.

128
00:08:00,175 --> 00:08:02,975
Speaker 2: I mean, the unfortunate thing is we were still using,

129
00:08:04,375 --> 00:08:06,735
Speaker 2: if not asbestos in the way that we tend to

130
00:08:06,815 --> 00:08:09,775
Speaker 2: imagine it. You know, sheets of a fiber cement type

131
00:08:09,815 --> 00:08:13,215
Speaker 2: product that had asbestos in it, but a lot, a

132
00:08:13,375 --> 00:08:17,375
Speaker 2: surprising and disturbing number of products are what they call ACM,

133
00:08:17,535 --> 00:08:21,895
Speaker 2: so asbestos containing material, and some asbestos was still coming

134
00:08:21,935 --> 00:08:25,055
Speaker 2: into New Zealand as late as two thousand, right, So

135
00:08:25,175 --> 00:08:29,175
Speaker 2: it's not a it's not a completely unrealistic question to ask.

136
00:08:29,615 --> 00:08:33,615
Speaker 2: But if your house is a nineteen eighties house in

137
00:08:34,175 --> 00:08:38,255
Speaker 2: what particular area did the pre purchase inspector say that

138
00:08:38,415 --> 00:08:41,255
Speaker 2: they had some concerns about asbestos? Where where did they

139
00:08:41,335 --> 00:08:41,935
Speaker 2: identify it?

140
00:08:43,415 --> 00:08:46,215
Speaker 7: While they didn't say where, he just said he couldn't

141
00:08:46,575 --> 00:08:51,975
Speaker 7: identify the claning on the house when he went through,

142
00:08:52,015 --> 00:08:55,615
Speaker 7: he could have confirmed what the planning was, and just

143
00:08:55,735 --> 00:09:00,615
Speaker 7: the question open. I do know there was an extension

144
00:09:00,735 --> 00:09:05,695
Speaker 7: done two thousand and nine where they had to obviously

145
00:09:05,775 --> 00:09:10,655
Speaker 7: be a portion of that, and I just don't know

146
00:09:12,015 --> 00:09:17,055
Speaker 7: back two thousand and nine, was that the twok of

147
00:09:17,095 --> 00:09:19,855
Speaker 7: the century for where as we speak about it.

148
00:09:19,895 --> 00:09:24,415
Speaker 2: To day, I think it would be very close to

149
00:09:24,495 --> 00:09:28,375
Speaker 2: when new legislation was introduced, but possibly just a little

150
00:09:28,415 --> 00:09:32,335
Speaker 2: bit before it, so there was kind of a directive

151
00:09:32,415 --> 00:09:36,055
Speaker 2: through WorkSafe, and there's there's new legislation that puts the

152
00:09:36,215 --> 00:09:41,295
Speaker 2: onus on determining whether or not the product is asbestos

153
00:09:41,375 --> 00:09:44,935
Speaker 2: or ACM, on the homeowner and in some degree on

154
00:09:45,015 --> 00:09:49,375
Speaker 2: the contractor. Right, So if you don't know, the responsibility

155
00:09:49,495 --> 00:09:54,175
Speaker 2: is on you to test. And that's that's sort of

156
00:09:54,255 --> 00:09:57,895
Speaker 2: how we all see it now. So for example, you know,

157
00:09:57,975 --> 00:10:00,855
Speaker 2: if you were going to a nineteen sixties bricantile that

158
00:10:01,015 --> 00:10:05,575
Speaker 2: had some sort of flat sheeting for this defeat, you'd go, actually,

159
00:10:05,735 --> 00:10:09,735
Speaker 2: given its age, given the type of material, it's worth testing. Right,

160
00:10:09,855 --> 00:10:12,815
Speaker 2: You test it, and then you determine how you're going

161
00:10:12,855 --> 00:10:15,735
Speaker 2: to proceed with drilling a hole for a new extraction fan. Right,

162
00:10:15,855 --> 00:10:18,695
Speaker 2: There's that sort of thing. So that's similar to what

163
00:10:18,775 --> 00:10:21,975
Speaker 2: you're talking about back in two thousand and seven. You

164
00:10:22,055 --> 00:10:25,575
Speaker 2: were saying two thousand and nine when they cut through

165
00:10:25,695 --> 00:10:30,295
Speaker 2: those weather boards. So I mean, look, if you had

166
00:10:30,335 --> 00:10:33,335
Speaker 2: a concern, you'd look at the weatherboard and go if

167
00:10:33,375 --> 00:10:36,095
Speaker 2: it's you know, if it's timber, we know there's not

168
00:10:36,175 --> 00:10:36,615
Speaker 2: a problem.

169
00:10:36,735 --> 00:10:36,855
Speaker 10: Right.

170
00:10:37,255 --> 00:10:40,095
Speaker 2: If it's a fiber cement board of some description, and

171
00:10:40,135 --> 00:10:43,495
Speaker 2: there's probably four or five different types of them. Then again,

172
00:10:43,615 --> 00:10:48,695
Speaker 2: if it's nineteen eighties, it's really unlikely that, but you

173
00:10:48,775 --> 00:10:55,615
Speaker 2: could test, right, see, I find that sort of thing

174
00:10:55,855 --> 00:11:02,975
Speaker 2: for it's it's risk averse to the point of being nonsensical.

175
00:11:03,375 --> 00:11:08,415
Speaker 2: Like I'm not diminishing the potential for harm from exposure

176
00:11:08,455 --> 00:11:13,975
Speaker 2: to asbestos, right, it is unbelievably awful way. Basically, it's

177
00:11:14,015 --> 00:11:17,695
Speaker 2: a really awful way to die, you know, as a

178
00:11:17,735 --> 00:11:20,975
Speaker 2: result of exposure to asbestos. So I'm not at all

179
00:11:22,135 --> 00:11:25,655
Speaker 2: saying you shouldn't be concerned, but in a report like that,

180
00:11:26,655 --> 00:11:29,695
Speaker 2: not being able to identify the cladding, you know, to

181
00:11:29,815 --> 00:11:31,895
Speaker 2: be fair, there's not that many types of cladding around.

182
00:11:31,935 --> 00:11:34,375
Speaker 2: You should be able to have at least a reasonable idea.

183
00:11:35,415 --> 00:11:37,495
Speaker 2: You could do a quick Google search and determine it.

184
00:11:37,615 --> 00:11:40,375
Speaker 2: So to leave something as open ended as that in

185
00:11:40,535 --> 00:11:44,535
Speaker 2: the report I think is a little bit unfair and

186
00:11:44,935 --> 00:11:50,575
Speaker 2: not terribly professional in my opinion. So look, I mean,

187
00:11:50,815 --> 00:11:52,655
Speaker 2: if you're going to sell the house and given that

188
00:11:52,735 --> 00:11:55,975
Speaker 2: it's on the report, and then potentially that's reports being

189
00:11:56,015 --> 00:11:58,655
Speaker 2: shared with the agent, the agent then has a duty

190
00:11:58,735 --> 00:12:06,815
Speaker 2: to disclose under their responsibilities you know, theoretically, every person

191
00:12:06,855 --> 00:12:08,655
Speaker 2: that comes through the house and ask the agent is

192
00:12:08,695 --> 00:12:10,855
Speaker 2: there a concern with it, the agent's going to have

193
00:12:10,935 --> 00:12:12,655
Speaker 2: to say, oh, by the way, I saw a report

194
00:12:12,695 --> 00:12:17,935
Speaker 2: that indicated there might be asbestos, right, I would suggest

195
00:12:18,175 --> 00:12:20,455
Speaker 2: that the simplest way is for you to remove a

196
00:12:20,575 --> 00:12:23,215
Speaker 2: section of that cladding, you know, maybe somewhere around the

197
00:12:23,255 --> 00:12:25,455
Speaker 2: back of the house or underneath a scriber that you

198
00:12:25,495 --> 00:12:28,175
Speaker 2: could put the scriber back on, take it to a lab,

199
00:12:28,375 --> 00:12:35,095
Speaker 2: get it tested, and then you know, yeah, obviously there's

200
00:12:35,135 --> 00:12:38,055
Speaker 2: a small risk with that. So for example, if it

201
00:12:38,175 --> 00:12:41,775
Speaker 2: did happen to come back as asbestos or ACM, you

202
00:12:41,855 --> 00:12:45,735
Speaker 2: would need to declare that to the person who's listening

203
00:12:45,815 --> 00:12:48,255
Speaker 2: your property. But if it comes back clear, which I

204
00:12:48,335 --> 00:12:51,975
Speaker 2: suspect is most likely, the great thing is you can say, yep,

205
00:12:52,175 --> 00:12:54,655
Speaker 2: I know that that was done. I've gone ahead, I've

206
00:12:54,735 --> 00:12:59,775
Speaker 2: been proactive, I've had a test done. He's the test results. Yeah,

207
00:13:00,455 --> 00:13:05,255
Speaker 2: you know, science is good. So I would run with that,

208
00:13:06,295 --> 00:13:08,255
Speaker 2: and good luck was selling the house. I know it's

209
00:13:08,535 --> 00:13:09,935
Speaker 2: still a bit of a funny old market.

210
00:13:11,735 --> 00:13:14,015
Speaker 7: Oh no, it has only been off for two weeks,

211
00:13:14,055 --> 00:13:18,735
Speaker 7: and sorry being an opera on it, so bastudents of it,

212
00:13:18,975 --> 00:13:22,135
Speaker 7: so nice a lot around around our whole neighborhood and

213
00:13:22,215 --> 00:13:25,175
Speaker 7: there's like many hours is it the same build in

214
00:13:25,255 --> 00:13:28,535
Speaker 7: that same era, So I guess there will just be

215
00:13:28,895 --> 00:13:29,375
Speaker 7: the you know, it.

216
00:13:29,455 --> 00:13:30,615
Speaker 11: Is what it is for the EU.

217
00:13:32,455 --> 00:13:33,655
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's final.

218
00:13:35,175 --> 00:13:35,335
Speaker 9: Done.

219
00:13:35,535 --> 00:13:37,735
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that's the safest spect robin. And the

220
00:13:37,815 --> 00:13:40,575
Speaker 2: other thing too, to really be clear on is that

221
00:13:41,055 --> 00:13:44,535
Speaker 2: asbestos when it's essentially inert, right, so it's on you

222
00:13:44,615 --> 00:13:46,855
Speaker 2: weather boards, it's got a coat of paint over the

223
00:13:46,935 --> 00:13:51,055
Speaker 2: top of it. There is there is basically zero risk, right.

224
00:13:52,135 --> 00:13:55,015
Speaker 2: The concern comes when, like when they were doing the renovation,

225
00:13:55,415 --> 00:13:57,455
Speaker 2: you take an angle grinder to it and you cut

226
00:13:57,575 --> 00:14:00,055
Speaker 2: through it and you're not wearing a mask and all

227
00:14:00,095 --> 00:14:02,415
Speaker 2: the rest of it, and you can and if there

228
00:14:02,495 --> 00:14:05,415
Speaker 2: were asbestos fibers in it, you inhaled those. That's where

229
00:14:05,455 --> 00:14:07,815
Speaker 2: the risk is. So when you cut it, drill it,

230
00:14:08,295 --> 00:14:10,935
Speaker 2: you know, break it, that sort of thing, the fibers

231
00:14:11,015 --> 00:14:14,255
Speaker 2: become airborne and that's the risk where they are on

232
00:14:14,415 --> 00:14:18,175
Speaker 2: your place right now, no risk whatsoever? All right, well,

233
00:14:18,295 --> 00:14:19,015
Speaker 2: very little risk.

234
00:14:19,735 --> 00:14:22,175
Speaker 7: So where we replaced the windows, we didn't cut that.

235
00:14:22,415 --> 00:14:25,295
Speaker 2: We're all just perfect.

236
00:14:28,455 --> 00:14:30,935
Speaker 7: Decide to watch straight back in, so we didn't touch

237
00:14:31,535 --> 00:14:33,655
Speaker 7: or upset anything that was already original.

238
00:14:34,775 --> 00:14:39,975
Speaker 2: Yeah, perfect, perfect, do some testing mate, all right, all

239
00:14:40,015 --> 00:14:43,455
Speaker 2: the best to you, take care see Robin bob o.

240
00:14:43,535 --> 00:14:48,975
Speaker 2: Then I keep forgetting I realize every now and then

241
00:14:49,015 --> 00:14:50,455
Speaker 2: I say, oh, I must talk to you about that

242
00:14:50,535 --> 00:14:52,015
Speaker 2: later on. Then I forget to do it and I

243
00:14:52,095 --> 00:14:54,615
Speaker 2: get angry texts about it. Where I went it was

244
00:14:54,615 --> 00:14:56,375
Speaker 2: actually a couple of weeks ago, and I kept meaning

245
00:14:56,415 --> 00:15:03,655
Speaker 2: to mention this' I'd seen something online right, a tool

246
00:15:03,775 --> 00:15:05,975
Speaker 2: that I didn't have, and I'm like, that looks awesome,

247
00:15:06,015 --> 00:15:07,695
Speaker 2: that could really useful. It was kind of like a

248
00:15:08,175 --> 00:15:14,215
Speaker 2: heavy metal ruler with a sliding stop on it, so

249
00:15:14,615 --> 00:15:19,335
Speaker 2: sort of like a marking gauge, but slightly different. Anyway,

250
00:15:19,375 --> 00:15:21,295
Speaker 2: I saw one and then I saw where they had them,

251
00:15:21,815 --> 00:15:24,015
Speaker 2: and I was off to visit Mum the other day

252
00:15:24,095 --> 00:15:27,815
Speaker 2: and I called into carb a Tech, which is out

253
00:15:28,015 --> 00:15:31,655
Speaker 2: in where are the Harris Road out in East Tarmaki.

254
00:15:32,255 --> 00:15:37,055
Speaker 2: Walked in there and I was like, oh my goodness, Like,

255
00:15:37,215 --> 00:15:39,775
Speaker 2: how am I going to leave here without buying way

256
00:15:39,935 --> 00:15:43,375
Speaker 2: more stuff than I thought I was going to buy. Anyway,

257
00:15:43,415 --> 00:15:46,415
Speaker 2: I got the sliding ruler or sliding Yeah. Ruler. I'll

258
00:15:46,415 --> 00:15:49,095
Speaker 2: get the right name for it off the website. Soon

259
00:15:49,535 --> 00:15:54,495
Speaker 2: found that found a little taper measuring gauge which is

260
00:15:54,615 --> 00:15:57,495
Speaker 2: super handy for trying to measure the gap of something,

261
00:15:57,615 --> 00:16:01,135
Speaker 2: and then actually found some replacement braces for my apron

262
00:16:01,255 --> 00:16:05,535
Speaker 2: as well. There. I was lucky to get out actually

263
00:16:05,735 --> 00:16:09,375
Speaker 2: and a delight full chat to the owners and talked

264
00:16:09,375 --> 00:16:14,495
Speaker 2: about woodworking and wood turning. Apparently New Zealand's like the

265
00:16:14,695 --> 00:16:18,255
Speaker 2: home of wood turning these days globally, and that whenever

266
00:16:18,335 --> 00:16:22,935
Speaker 2: these international wood turning competitions, New Zealanders are always exceptionally

267
00:16:23,015 --> 00:16:26,895
Speaker 2: well represented there. I think it's some like World wood

268
00:16:26,975 --> 00:16:31,535
Speaker 2: turning competition some time ago. Out of the top ten,

269
00:16:31,695 --> 00:16:34,615
Speaker 2: three came from New Zealand. And we make lathes here,

270
00:16:35,455 --> 00:16:39,535
Speaker 2: which is even more amazing as well. Anyway, look, if

271
00:16:39,575 --> 00:16:45,295
Speaker 2: you're into your tools, new tools, obviously I can't can't

272
00:16:45,335 --> 00:16:50,175
Speaker 2: recommend it highly enough. It was a fantastic day. Might

273
00:16:50,215 --> 00:16:53,095
Speaker 2: even make me visit mymum more. Oh, eight hundred eighty

274
00:16:53,175 --> 00:16:55,895
Speaker 2: ten eighty. It is twenty two minutes after six. We'll

275
00:16:55,935 --> 00:16:57,135
Speaker 2: be back with Pam after the.

276
00:16:57,135 --> 00:17:01,215
Speaker 1: Break, helping you get those DIY projects done right. The

277
00:17:01,415 --> 00:17:05,215
Speaker 1: resident builder with Peta wolfcaf call Oh eight hundred eighty

278
00:17:05,375 --> 00:17:07,535
Speaker 1: youth talksa'd be see.

279
00:17:07,375 --> 00:17:11,615
Speaker 2: Now, I'm kind of in trouble because during the break

280
00:17:11,735 --> 00:17:14,295
Speaker 2: I thought i'd go through the website to see if

281
00:17:14,375 --> 00:17:16,615
Speaker 2: i could find the proper name of the tool that

282
00:17:16,695 --> 00:17:21,495
Speaker 2: I've purchased, which now has me trailing through pages and

283
00:17:21,575 --> 00:17:24,695
Speaker 2: pages of other tools that I don't have that are

284
00:17:24,775 --> 00:17:27,895
Speaker 2: now kind of tempting as well. Right oh, twenty six

285
00:17:27,975 --> 00:17:31,855
Speaker 2: minutes after six pam. Good morning, good.

286
00:17:31,775 --> 00:17:32,695
Speaker 11: Morning, good morning.

287
00:17:33,015 --> 00:17:35,415
Speaker 12: A couple of weeks ago, I had a quita debt

288
00:17:36,095 --> 00:17:41,655
Speaker 12: installed for my patio and I have very heavy, old.

289
00:17:41,535 --> 00:17:44,335
Speaker 11: Type wicker chairs on top of it.

290
00:17:44,735 --> 00:17:49,015
Speaker 12: Yes, I've noticed around the legs of the chairs the

291
00:17:49,215 --> 00:17:53,575
Speaker 12: queler is starting to bleed, and I was wondering if

292
00:17:53,615 --> 00:17:56,655
Speaker 12: you could help me because I don't quite know what

293
00:17:56,815 --> 00:17:57,375
Speaker 12: to do with it.

294
00:17:58,015 --> 00:18:00,495
Speaker 2: When you say the quiller has started to bleed, So

295
00:18:00,655 --> 00:18:03,775
Speaker 2: where the chair sits on top, that's where you're seeing

296
00:18:03,815 --> 00:18:05,735
Speaker 2: a mark on the quiller or is the mark on the.

297
00:18:05,815 --> 00:18:08,095
Speaker 12: Chair Michael a Quila?

298
00:18:09,935 --> 00:18:15,415
Speaker 2: Okay, Quila, like a couple of other hardwoods, obvious, he

299
00:18:15,535 --> 00:18:18,135
Speaker 2: has a lot of resin in it and it always

300
00:18:18,175 --> 00:18:22,975
Speaker 2: bleeds right, and that stops after a period of time.

301
00:18:23,575 --> 00:18:27,215
Speaker 2: So I just wonder whether just removing the furniture and

302
00:18:27,775 --> 00:18:32,095
Speaker 2: leaving it, let's say until early summer, you know, the

303
00:18:32,215 --> 00:18:35,215
Speaker 2: end of spring, early summer, and then putting your furniture

304
00:18:35,255 --> 00:18:39,255
Speaker 2: back should be okay, and where those marks are unless

305
00:18:39,375 --> 00:18:42,375
Speaker 2: what's happened is something from the wicker. But is the

306
00:18:42,455 --> 00:18:45,655
Speaker 2: wicker furniture older furniture okay?

307
00:18:46,655 --> 00:18:50,495
Speaker 12: No, and they purchased it about four years ago.

308
00:18:50,935 --> 00:18:53,775
Speaker 2: Oh okay, but it's been outside, hasn't it.

309
00:18:54,535 --> 00:18:55,535
Speaker 12: It's over the porch.

310
00:18:56,975 --> 00:18:59,655
Speaker 2: Yeah. What I'm thinking is sometimes, I mean even I've

311
00:18:59,655 --> 00:19:03,775
Speaker 2: seen it with new hardwood. Outdoor furniture will leach out

312
00:19:03,815 --> 00:19:05,895
Speaker 2: as well, So people put it on the concrete tiles,

313
00:19:05,935 --> 00:19:11,135
Speaker 2: for example, and it leaches the queeler leaches out into that. Look.

314
00:19:11,215 --> 00:19:15,735
Speaker 2: I just think that whatever's happened, it'll probably just evaporate.

315
00:19:17,215 --> 00:19:19,815
Speaker 2: So I would just take the furniture off, if you

316
00:19:19,855 --> 00:19:21,855
Speaker 2: could store it somewhere else. You know, at this time

317
00:19:21,895 --> 00:19:23,775
Speaker 2: of year, you're probably not sitting out there that much.

318
00:19:27,655 --> 00:19:29,615
Speaker 2: You want to be out there every day enjoying your

319
00:19:29,655 --> 00:19:36,655
Speaker 2: brand new deck. Yes, what sort of mark has it left? Like,

320
00:19:36,775 --> 00:19:37,655
Speaker 2: what's the concern?

321
00:19:38,695 --> 00:19:39,135
Speaker 9: It's like.

322
00:19:40,735 --> 00:19:44,735
Speaker 12: Dropping a liquid from above it it's sort of just

323
00:19:45,735 --> 00:19:50,015
Speaker 12: not splatters. But oh, I can't explain it really.

324
00:19:53,175 --> 00:19:57,935
Speaker 2: I think I know what you mean. It might just

325
00:19:58,095 --> 00:19:59,855
Speaker 2: be that you have to wait for the deck to

326
00:19:59,975 --> 00:20:03,255
Speaker 2: sort of acclimatize. Right, it's a brand new deck. It

327
00:20:03,415 --> 00:20:06,295
Speaker 2: will bleed that that sap that's in there, that resis

328
00:20:06,295 --> 00:20:09,295
Speaker 2: and that's in there will want to come out. And

329
00:20:10,415 --> 00:20:14,095
Speaker 2: that's just a patience thing. So I do wonder whether

330
00:20:14,135 --> 00:20:16,175
Speaker 2: you might just have to move the furniture off for

331
00:20:16,215 --> 00:20:19,575
Speaker 2: a period of time, allow the deck to settle down,

332
00:20:19,695 --> 00:20:21,375
Speaker 2: and then bring your furniture back out again.

333
00:20:22,495 --> 00:20:26,335
Speaker 12: But would it be useful to wrap something around the

334
00:20:26,455 --> 00:20:27,815
Speaker 12: leges or the chairs.

335
00:20:28,735 --> 00:20:34,655
Speaker 2: In terms of preventing contact. Yes, look, it wouldn't hurt.

336
00:20:34,975 --> 00:20:37,015
Speaker 2: It wouldn't hurt. Even if you got some of those little,

337
00:20:37,935 --> 00:20:42,735
Speaker 2: you know, single sided adhesive chair pads that you can

338
00:20:42,775 --> 00:20:45,295
Speaker 2: buy and put those on the bottom. They probably won't

339
00:20:45,375 --> 00:20:47,815
Speaker 2: stick very well for very long, but it would would

340
00:20:47,895 --> 00:20:50,575
Speaker 2: give you some separation. Might look a little bit tidier

341
00:20:50,655 --> 00:20:56,975
Speaker 2: than than putting down, you know, like wrapping some tape

342
00:20:57,015 --> 00:21:01,015
Speaker 2: around the bottom of the feet, right, So that's another

343
00:21:01,055 --> 00:21:06,695
Speaker 2: option for you. Separating the two surfaces might help a little.

344
00:21:06,815 --> 00:21:11,255
Speaker 2: Take care pet eight hundred eighty Good morning peak. Composite

345
00:21:11,295 --> 00:21:15,815
Speaker 2: decking versus timber decking. Are composite materials i ecodic or

346
00:21:15,895 --> 00:21:19,175
Speaker 2: bamboo worth considering? Are they slippery when dry or wet?

347
00:21:20,255 --> 00:21:24,815
Speaker 2: Do they fade? Are they brittle? Uv resistant? Generally, there

348
00:21:24,935 --> 00:21:27,895
Speaker 2: are they worth considering. I'm aware they're dearer, but cheaper

349
00:21:28,015 --> 00:21:30,935
Speaker 2: as quicker to install. Thank you very much, says Mary.

350
00:21:32,615 --> 00:21:36,215
Speaker 2: I'll tell you what. Look, I've used them right, composite

351
00:21:36,255 --> 00:21:38,015
Speaker 2: decking particularly m.

352
00:21:41,015 --> 00:21:41,175
Speaker 3: Ah.

353
00:21:41,455 --> 00:21:42,775
Speaker 2: The name will come back to me in a minute.

354
00:21:43,575 --> 00:21:46,095
Speaker 2: So yes, they are worth considering. I think you've got

355
00:21:46,175 --> 00:21:48,735
Speaker 2: to go for a company perhaps that's been around for

356
00:21:48,775 --> 00:21:51,855
Speaker 2: a while. Every now and then new products arrive on

357
00:21:51,935 --> 00:21:54,055
Speaker 2: the market and then they disappear, so you want something

358
00:21:54,095 --> 00:21:57,575
Speaker 2: that's been in the market for a while. Yes, there

359
00:21:57,655 --> 00:22:01,215
Speaker 2: are some advantages they do. Movement tends to be the

360
00:22:01,255 --> 00:22:04,375
Speaker 2: biggest issue with them. Over the length there might be

361
00:22:04,695 --> 00:22:08,055
Speaker 2: like two or three millimeters meter of board where you

362
00:22:08,175 --> 00:22:13,935
Speaker 2: get expansion and contraction. Some people don't like that. There

363
00:22:14,055 --> 00:22:17,815
Speaker 2: was a new wood fiber decking that I saw at

364
00:22:18,015 --> 00:22:22,215
Speaker 2: building said the other day. I'll try and find the details.

365
00:22:23,615 --> 00:22:26,935
Speaker 2: That was looked quite impressive as well, So yes, not

366
00:22:27,095 --> 00:22:33,935
Speaker 2: worth dismissing, and in some instances, perhaps where you're concerned

367
00:22:33,935 --> 00:22:38,255
Speaker 2: about like slip resistance for example, they can actually genuinely

368
00:22:38,415 --> 00:22:42,015
Speaker 2: be a benefit. So hopefully that helps. They are worth

369
00:22:44,095 --> 00:22:46,375
Speaker 2: they are worth looking at. Diane, good morning to you.

370
00:22:47,495 --> 00:22:50,055
Speaker 9: Oh, good morning, good morning. I'm a little bit croaky.

371
00:22:50,215 --> 00:22:51,975
Speaker 2: So anyway, both.

372
00:22:53,855 --> 00:23:00,815
Speaker 9: Now, in a house I've just bought, there are tiles everywhere,

373
00:23:00,935 --> 00:23:04,735
Speaker 9: but there's tiles in the toilet and the tiles in

374
00:23:04,855 --> 00:23:09,175
Speaker 9: the bathroom. From the floor, you're up to about waist

375
00:23:09,535 --> 00:23:14,575
Speaker 9: line your waist. So I'm wondering, how could you get

376
00:23:14,655 --> 00:23:18,295
Speaker 9: the tiles off the wall without damaging the walls?

377
00:23:20,135 --> 00:23:25,895
Speaker 2: Sure, any sort answer is pretty much no. So I

378
00:23:25,935 --> 00:23:28,615
Speaker 2: don't mean to be blunt or dismissive, but typically what

379
00:23:28,695 --> 00:23:32,015
Speaker 2: would happen is it depends you know. Let's say, is

380
00:23:32,095 --> 00:23:33,495
Speaker 2: it a relatively new house.

381
00:23:34,335 --> 00:23:39,615
Speaker 9: No, it's about nineteen ages. Well, no, it may have

382
00:23:39,815 --> 00:23:42,975
Speaker 9: been updated at some state, right right.

383
00:23:43,855 --> 00:23:46,575
Speaker 2: Look, I think Well, as you can imagine, the tiles

384
00:23:46,615 --> 00:23:50,135
Speaker 2: are stuck with glue to the substrate, right, So if

385
00:23:50,255 --> 00:23:53,615
Speaker 2: that is a plaster board, then the glue will stick

386
00:23:53,655 --> 00:23:56,015
Speaker 2: to the paper. So when you take the tile off

387
00:23:56,335 --> 00:23:58,735
Speaker 2: and take the glue off with the adhesive off. It's

388
00:23:58,775 --> 00:24:02,895
Speaker 2: going to rip the paper surface off most likely, in

389
00:24:02,975 --> 00:24:05,855
Speaker 2: which case you are talking about having to remove the

390
00:24:05,975 --> 00:24:10,015
Speaker 2: wall lining or line over the wall lining in order

391
00:24:10,175 --> 00:24:13,375
Speaker 2: to get it back to a smooth surface. So if

392
00:24:13,455 --> 00:24:16,135
Speaker 2: what you're thinking is I don't really like the tiles,

393
00:24:16,295 --> 00:24:21,455
Speaker 2: I would like to have more, but you know, more

394
00:24:21,495 --> 00:24:24,735
Speaker 2: painted surfaces, then yeah, you'd rip the tiles off and

395
00:24:24,855 --> 00:24:26,375
Speaker 2: replace the billboard.

396
00:24:26,495 --> 00:24:31,935
Speaker 9: They're royal blue, they're really deep, right. Do you know

397
00:24:32,015 --> 00:24:33,535
Speaker 9: if you can paint tiles?

398
00:24:34,895 --> 00:24:40,495
Speaker 2: You can, but it will always just look like painted tiles, right,

399
00:24:40,855 --> 00:24:47,015
Speaker 2: and that's it's never going to be great, right, And

400
00:24:47,135 --> 00:24:49,455
Speaker 2: I know that our razine experts that are on the show,

401
00:24:49,535 --> 00:24:53,895
Speaker 2: we get that question quite a bit. So yes, you

402
00:24:53,975 --> 00:24:54,935
Speaker 2: can do it, but it.

403
00:24:54,895 --> 00:24:55,615
Speaker 11: Won't look great.

404
00:24:56,855 --> 00:24:59,295
Speaker 9: So that really I just have to live with them.

405
00:25:01,815 --> 00:25:05,495
Speaker 2: It might be that's the case. Yeah, but ye're taking

406
00:25:05,575 --> 00:25:09,015
Speaker 2: the tiles off and reusing the wall board underneath it

407
00:25:09,615 --> 00:25:12,775
Speaker 2: very unlikely it's going to be a cost effective solution.

408
00:25:12,895 --> 00:25:16,455
Speaker 2: I think most likely you're going to end up pulling

409
00:25:16,535 --> 00:25:19,055
Speaker 2: that off and replacing the wall lining so that you

410
00:25:19,095 --> 00:25:20,335
Speaker 2: can get a surface you can paint.

411
00:25:21,375 --> 00:25:25,295
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, okay, thank you, very all right.

412
00:25:25,415 --> 00:25:28,375
Speaker 2: Sorry about that. All right, see you then bye bye

413
00:25:28,975 --> 00:25:30,895
Speaker 2: your news talks the'd be it is coming up twenty

00:25:34,895 --> 00:25:38,215
Speaker 2: we've got the rugby the All Blacks versus the Pumas

416
00:25:38,335 --> 00:25:43,535
Speaker 2: Lost Boomers live from Argentina kickoff just after nine o'clock,

417
00:25:43,855 --> 00:25:45,935
Speaker 2: so at around eight forty five this morning we will

Speaker 2: hand over to the sports team for their live commentary,

419
00:25:49,135 --> 00:25:51,495
Speaker 2: which means Ruod will be along a bit earlier this

420
00:25:51,655 --> 00:25:53,935
Speaker 2: morning as well. Oh eight hundred and eighty ten eighty

421

Speaker 1: worcav the resident builder News Talk sa'd be.

424
00:26:02,735 --> 00:26:06,255
Speaker 2: Oh now feeling bad because I've been on the web

425
00:26:06,375 --> 00:26:09,775
Speaker 2: site to see the proper name for the rule that

426
00:26:09,855 --> 00:26:12,695
Speaker 2: I bought what happens to be a very simple name

427
00:26:12,775 --> 00:26:17,015
Speaker 2: actually a stop rule three hundred milimeters stop rule, which

428
00:26:17,375 --> 00:26:20,575
Speaker 2: I bought the other day. But I must have got

429
00:26:20,615 --> 00:26:23,055
Speaker 2: the last one because they're out of stock now. Anyway,

430
00:26:23,215 --> 00:26:25,495
Speaker 2: shouldn't stop you going and having a look around. Oh

431
00:26:25,535 --> 00:26:28,615
Speaker 2: eight hundred and eighty ten eighty Lena, A very good

432
00:26:28,695 --> 00:26:32,175
Speaker 2: morning to you. I love these update stories. What's going on?

433
00:26:32,415 --> 00:26:32,655
Speaker 3: Lina?

434
00:26:33,655 --> 00:26:35,615
Speaker 13: It might be a good morning. But I'm not too

435
00:26:35,695 --> 00:26:37,495
Speaker 13: sure whether my problem is right.

436
00:26:37,975 --> 00:26:38,335
Speaker 8: Go for it.

437
00:26:38,415 --> 00:26:43,335
Speaker 13: It could be a multi problem. Now I live in Theicago,

438
00:26:43,655 --> 00:26:47,055
Speaker 13: and I have a shop in a small shopping center

439
00:26:47,655 --> 00:26:50,895
Speaker 13: which was originally built round about the nineteen sixty four

440
00:26:51,095 --> 00:26:56,175
Speaker 13: sixty six areap. Now I have a corner shop, and

441
00:26:56,615 --> 00:26:59,255
Speaker 13: I had a new roof put on a few years

442
00:26:59,295 --> 00:27:04,575
Speaker 13: ago and a downpipe which went into the grounds right now.

443
00:27:04,895 --> 00:27:07,655
Speaker 13: Over the last few years, my shop next to a

444
00:27:07,855 --> 00:27:12,335
Speaker 13: shop next door for a shop, and then a rather

445
00:27:12,695 --> 00:27:16,735
Speaker 13: very very large chemist shop put new roofing on theirs.

446
00:27:17,735 --> 00:27:22,815
Speaker 13: They then attached their down pipe to my downpipe. Yes,

447
00:27:25,175 --> 00:27:28,935
Speaker 13: every time it rains, I get soaking wet feet getting

448
00:27:28,975 --> 00:27:32,255
Speaker 13: out of my car, and the whole area is all

449
00:27:32,455 --> 00:27:36,695
Speaker 13: full of moths. Now I have approached to the city

450
00:27:36,815 --> 00:27:41,175
Speaker 13: council and they say not their problem. I ask them

451
00:27:43,855 --> 00:27:48,895
Speaker 13: if they had maps for the drainage, and they say

452
00:27:49,015 --> 00:27:54,015
Speaker 13: they don't have. So I want to know whether it's

453
00:27:54,175 --> 00:27:58,375
Speaker 13: legal for some other shop to put attached their down

454
00:27:58,495 --> 00:28:02,255
Speaker 13: pipe to my downpipe and all the resulting problems.

455
00:28:02,775 --> 00:28:05,655
Speaker 2: Look, I think you know I'm pretty much one hundred

456
00:28:05,655 --> 00:28:06,655
Speaker 2: percent confidence on this.

457
00:28:07,135 --> 00:28:07,175
Speaker 13: No.

458
00:28:07,855 --> 00:28:11,135
Speaker 2: Right, it's a simple no. So what I'd suggest you

459
00:28:11,295 --> 00:28:14,415
Speaker 2: do is maybe contact, you know, if you've got some

460
00:28:14,575 --> 00:28:17,255
Speaker 2: contacts with a drain layer, ask them to come and

461
00:28:17,415 --> 00:28:20,615
Speaker 2: visit and sort of give you a basic summary of

462
00:28:20,775 --> 00:28:25,935
Speaker 2: what your rights are. And then in the end Council's

463
00:28:26,095 --> 00:28:29,495
Speaker 2: not going to be interested in this unfortunately, so you'll

464
00:28:29,535 --> 00:28:32,735
Speaker 2: have to take it up with the owner of the

465
00:28:32,815 --> 00:28:33,695
Speaker 2: adjacent building.

466
00:28:35,215 --> 00:28:35,415
Speaker 8: Yeah.

467
00:28:35,415 --> 00:28:38,295
Speaker 13: Well, I have been in contact with the one owner

468
00:28:38,335 --> 00:28:41,855
Speaker 13: Bela is in christ Church. The other one next door,

469
00:28:41,975 --> 00:28:44,895
Speaker 13: it's his. One is a very small building, so it's

470
00:28:44,975 --> 00:28:46,975
Speaker 13: not even as big as way, So who did you

471
00:28:47,095 --> 00:28:48,495
Speaker 13: say that I should contact.

472
00:28:49,175 --> 00:28:51,015
Speaker 2: I suppose what you need is a little bit of evidence,

473
00:28:51,135 --> 00:28:55,415
Speaker 2: right to say, actually, what you've done is, if not illegal,

474
00:28:55,535 --> 00:28:59,575
Speaker 2: then incorrect. And so I wonder whether a local drain

475
00:28:59,655 --> 00:29:02,495
Speaker 2: layer who's familiar with the rules and regulations from the

476
00:29:02,615 --> 00:29:05,855
Speaker 2: council come along look at it, take a couple of photographs,

477
00:29:06,375 --> 00:29:08,935
Speaker 2: end you a quick email going hey, look I've noticed this,

478
00:29:09,375 --> 00:29:12,375
Speaker 2: this work is not as it should be, and then

479
00:29:12,535 --> 00:29:14,735
Speaker 2: that gives you some evidence when you talk to the

480
00:29:14,855 --> 00:29:19,535
Speaker 2: neighbors to go, hey, guys, this is not right. And

481
00:29:19,615 --> 00:29:22,135
Speaker 2: I guess if there's sort of absentee landlords in the

482
00:29:22,175 --> 00:29:24,095
Speaker 2: sense that one of them's in christ Church that sort

483
00:29:24,135 --> 00:29:27,295
Speaker 2: of thing. Maybe they're not aware, but if you can

484
00:29:27,375 --> 00:29:30,015
Speaker 2: send some photographs and a brief summary, I think that

485
00:29:30,135 --> 00:29:33,015
Speaker 2: will give you a little bit more go forward. So

486
00:29:34,015 --> 00:29:37,175
Speaker 2: good luck on that, and please do let me know

487
00:29:37,295 --> 00:29:39,655
Speaker 2: how you get on. I think this. We talked about

488
00:29:39,695 --> 00:29:42,095
Speaker 2: this last week and the plumber or whoever did the

489
00:29:42,175 --> 00:29:46,415
Speaker 2: roofing work and connected the downpipe got our inaugural Cheeky

490
00:29:46,455 --> 00:29:49,175
Speaker 2: Bugger of the Week award for that sort of work.

491
00:29:49,975 --> 00:29:51,975
Speaker 2: Oh eight hundred eighty ten eighty is the number to

492
00:29:52,055 --> 00:29:54,655
Speaker 2: call quick tech. Someone says, hey, I've painted over tiles

493
00:29:54,695 --> 00:29:57,095
Speaker 2: in the bathroom. Worked fine, got the products I used

494
00:29:57,175 --> 00:30:00,215
Speaker 2: from Razine. It does look painted, but it looks better

495
00:30:00,295 --> 00:30:02,215
Speaker 2: than before. So in that sense, you've got to be

496
00:30:02,295 --> 00:30:04,455
Speaker 2: a little bit sort of realistic. Yes, I mean, if

497
00:30:04,495 --> 00:30:06,375
Speaker 2: it's a dark blue tile and you're not really to

498
00:30:06,455 --> 00:30:10,135
Speaker 2: dark blue tiles and you painted them white, then chances

499
00:30:10,175 --> 00:30:12,655
Speaker 2: are they'll look better than blue, but they will just

500
00:30:12,735 --> 00:30:16,695
Speaker 2: look like painted tiles, which could be worthwhile. Oh eight

501
00:30:16,815 --> 00:30:21,135
Speaker 2: hundred eighty ten eighty the number. Karen, Good morning, Good morning,

502
00:30:21,175 --> 00:30:22,535
Speaker 2: How I am don't care very well?

503
00:30:24,855 --> 00:30:28,375
Speaker 14: Yeah, So I just bought my first home which was

504
00:30:28,455 --> 00:30:34,455
Speaker 14: pretty moment. So it's a three bedroom, three story townhouse. Yeah,

505
00:30:34,455 --> 00:30:38,015
Speaker 14: and I just wanted your advice with my two bathrooms,

506
00:30:38,015 --> 00:30:39,895
Speaker 14: one on the second floor in my en suite on

507
00:30:40,015 --> 00:30:43,615
Speaker 14: the top floor. I've noticed that the condensation does build

508
00:30:43,695 --> 00:30:47,575
Speaker 14: up under paper towel tests on the extract. The fans

509
00:30:47,855 --> 00:30:49,935
Speaker 14: and they all got out.

510
00:30:50,735 --> 00:30:52,655
Speaker 11: I wanted to see. I wanted to see if.

511
00:30:52,535 --> 00:30:56,495
Speaker 14: You could tell me, like, as would they use a

512
00:30:56,615 --> 00:31:00,855
Speaker 14: more water water, okay, paint in the bathrooms because the

513
00:31:00,935 --> 00:31:02,535
Speaker 14: house is a couple of years old. Is that a

514
00:31:02,615 --> 00:31:06,855
Speaker 14: regulation or should I be worried that I can see drips? Oh?

515
00:31:07,095 --> 00:31:10,215
Speaker 2: Okay, so you're yeah, yeah, I know what you mean.

516
00:31:10,535 --> 00:31:12,375
Speaker 2: So there will still be a bit of what they

517
00:31:12,455 --> 00:31:15,655
Speaker 2: call surfactant leeching. So when there's a lot of moisture

518
00:31:15,735 --> 00:31:18,535
Speaker 2: in there, you'll see it running down the walls. I

519
00:31:18,695 --> 00:31:22,295
Speaker 2: tell you what you know. I can imagine first home buyer, congratulations,

520
00:31:22,695 --> 00:31:25,295
Speaker 2: you're probably a bit strapped for cash because you've tipped

521
00:31:25,295 --> 00:31:29,015
Speaker 2: everything you've got into getting the house. But if it's

522
00:31:29,255 --> 00:31:33,815
Speaker 2: if it's a relatively new house with some hopefully well

523
00:31:33,895 --> 00:31:37,695
Speaker 2: it'll have adequate but not great extraction, but it will

524
00:31:37,775 --> 00:31:42,215
Speaker 2: have extraction in both of those bathrooms, won't it. Yeah, yeah,

525
00:31:42,575 --> 00:31:45,295
Speaker 2: and that definitely goes to outside.

526
00:31:47,095 --> 00:31:50,295
Speaker 14: Yep, yep, and yeah, and I made sure that both

527
00:31:50,335 --> 00:31:53,175
Speaker 14: the fans like you put the pizza toilet out the.

528
00:31:54,735 --> 00:31:59,095
Speaker 2: Great Okay, I suppose that one option would be is

529
00:31:59,295 --> 00:32:06,575
Speaker 2: to I'm guessing that is the fan on its own switch. Yeah, yeah, okay,

530
00:32:06,935 --> 00:32:10,455
Speaker 2: So you can get an electrician to install a run

531
00:32:10,535 --> 00:32:13,615
Speaker 2: on timer. So let's say, as most of us do,

532
00:32:14,215 --> 00:32:16,575
Speaker 2: get up in the morning, jump in the shower, rush

533
00:32:16,655 --> 00:32:18,695
Speaker 2: off to work, and then you know, as soon as

534
00:32:18,735 --> 00:32:20,495
Speaker 2: we've finished in the shower, we turn the lights off,

535
00:32:20,575 --> 00:32:22,655
Speaker 2: turn the fan off, and go. But there's still quite

536
00:32:22,655 --> 00:32:25,215
Speaker 2: a lot of moisture in there. So one option is

537
00:32:25,295 --> 00:32:27,855
Speaker 2: to put in a run on timer that will keep

538
00:32:28,055 --> 00:32:30,655
Speaker 2: that fan running, let's say, for another ten minutes or so,

539
00:32:30,895 --> 00:32:33,055
Speaker 2: which is going to be a benefit. The other thing,

540
00:32:33,175 --> 00:32:35,375
Speaker 2: and I picked one up on Friday and I'm putting

541
00:32:35,415 --> 00:32:37,655
Speaker 2: it into a rental property that I look after on

542
00:32:37,935 --> 00:32:42,335
Speaker 2: Tuesday is a fan by a company called Simmis SIMX,

543
00:32:43,015 --> 00:32:46,575
Speaker 2: and it's a constant flow fan. So I would ditch

544
00:32:46,695 --> 00:32:50,055
Speaker 2: the old extractor replace it with this new one. And

545
00:32:50,215 --> 00:32:53,415
Speaker 2: what it does is it senses when there's humidity and

546
00:32:53,655 --> 00:32:57,655
Speaker 2: ramps up to full extraction. But then for the rep

547
00:32:57,815 --> 00:32:59,895
Speaker 2: for the full twenty four hours of a day, it

548
00:33:00,055 --> 00:33:05,375
Speaker 2: will run constantly just drawing moisture and air out of

549
00:33:05,495 --> 00:33:08,775
Speaker 2: that space. So you know, if yours is a relatively

550
00:33:08,895 --> 00:33:11,455
Speaker 2: new build it's got lots of insulation, it's got reasonable

551
00:33:11,535 --> 00:33:15,695
Speaker 2: quality joinery, it's probably not thermly broken aluminium. So that's

552
00:33:15,695 --> 00:33:17,815
Speaker 2: where you're getting a little bit of condensation as well.

553
00:33:18,975 --> 00:33:22,455
Speaker 2: But because our buildings are becoming more and more air tight,

554
00:33:22,655 --> 00:33:25,975
Speaker 2: or moving towards air tightness, we're not getting that ventilation

555
00:33:26,175 --> 00:33:28,375
Speaker 2: through our houses. They tend to get locked up and

556
00:33:28,455 --> 00:33:32,095
Speaker 2: they tend to start sweating from the inside. And so

557
00:33:32,255 --> 00:33:34,775
Speaker 2: there's lots and lots of discussion and sort of building

558
00:33:34,855 --> 00:33:39,775
Speaker 2: science circles at the moment around it's a bit over dramatic,

559
00:33:39,895 --> 00:33:42,815
Speaker 2: but you know, leaky buildings two point zero. You know,

560
00:33:43,535 --> 00:33:46,135
Speaker 2: as we've moved towards air tightness, which is a good thing,

561
00:33:46,295 --> 00:33:48,815
Speaker 2: a very very good thing, we need to balance that

562
00:33:48,975 --> 00:33:51,975
Speaker 2: with some ventilation and extraction, and we haven't that, we

563
00:33:52,055 --> 00:33:55,135
Speaker 2: haven't caught up with that. So my suggestion would be

564
00:33:55,255 --> 00:33:58,895
Speaker 2: to have a look for a constant flow fan and

565
00:33:59,695 --> 00:34:03,095
Speaker 2: put the money into taking out both of those extractors

566
00:34:03,175 --> 00:34:06,495
Speaker 2: and both bathrooms and replacing them with constant flow extra action.

567
00:34:08,415 --> 00:34:11,215
Speaker 14: Okay, all right, just right, thank you very much.

568
00:34:11,375 --> 00:34:13,575
Speaker 2: Or at the very least a run on timer that

569
00:34:13,695 --> 00:34:16,175
Speaker 2: allows it to run for longer to extract more of

570
00:34:16,215 --> 00:34:21,215
Speaker 2: that moistire. Okay, thank you, have a look online. Cheers, buddy,

571
00:34:21,295 --> 00:34:23,455
Speaker 2: all the best, Bob. I think your news talk said be.

572
00:34:23,895 --> 00:34:25,575
Speaker 2: We need to take another break. Then we'll be back

573
00:34:25,615 --> 00:34:26,655
Speaker 2: with Willie after.

574
00:34:26,535 --> 00:34:30,055
Speaker 1: The break doing other house sorting the garden. Asked Pete

575
00:34:30,095 --> 00:34:35,095
Speaker 1: for a hand the resident builder with Peter wolfkeab call eighty.

576
00:34:35,255 --> 00:34:36,095
Speaker 1: News talks'd be.

577
00:34:36,935 --> 00:34:39,015
Speaker 2: Indeed news talks. He'd be coming up ten minutes away

578
00:34:39,055 --> 00:34:41,055
Speaker 2: from seven, of course news sport, and we're the top

579
00:34:41,095 --> 00:34:43,335
Speaker 2: of the hour at seven. Might have time for one

580
00:34:43,375 --> 00:34:48,135
Speaker 2: more call as well, Willy, good morning, good morning, very

581
00:34:48,215 --> 00:34:52,735
Speaker 2: well yourself. Yeah, not too that, what's going on.

582
00:34:52,855 --> 00:34:57,615
Speaker 8: I bought a house in twenty nineteen. I've been looking

583
00:34:57,695 --> 00:35:03,415
Speaker 8: for two years, books Bay. I bought a founder house

584
00:35:04,055 --> 00:35:06,055
Speaker 8: for two years and I thought, yop, this is exactly

585
00:35:06,135 --> 00:35:06,735
Speaker 8: what I want.

586
00:35:07,415 --> 00:35:07,975
Speaker 11: I bought it.

587
00:35:08,655 --> 00:35:10,935
Speaker 8: I knew there was a lot of people interested, so

588
00:35:11,095 --> 00:35:16,055
Speaker 8: I bought it outright without any consent, any builders reports

589
00:35:16,135 --> 00:35:18,295
Speaker 8: or anything else. I thought, if there's anything there, I'm

590
00:35:18,375 --> 00:35:23,215
Speaker 8: sure I can fix it. So anyway, I down the

591
00:35:23,295 --> 00:35:26,015
Speaker 8: line of it. I've put a garage in the done

592
00:35:26,055 --> 00:35:28,255
Speaker 8: other consents, and I went into the council with the

593
00:35:28,295 --> 00:35:33,055
Speaker 8: other data, play the final consent and asked if they

594
00:35:33,175 --> 00:35:36,295
Speaker 8: had any the original plans of the house. Yes, they

595
00:35:36,375 --> 00:35:38,295
Speaker 8: had the original plans. I said, oh, could I have

596
00:35:38,495 --> 00:35:40,495
Speaker 8: a copy of them? Yes, I don't have a copy

597
00:35:40,535 --> 00:35:42,855
Speaker 8: of them. And I had a look and I said, oh.

598
00:35:43,695 --> 00:35:46,295
Speaker 8: They said what's up? And I should there's a change.

599
00:35:46,295 --> 00:35:49,295
Speaker 8: I said yes with the outside. No to the inside,

600
00:35:51,655 --> 00:35:55,575
Speaker 8: and obviously I've had the place ensured, not knowing that

601
00:35:55,735 --> 00:35:58,775
Speaker 8: there was no consent or anything else to the changes.

602
00:35:59,655 --> 00:36:04,135
Speaker 8: There is a beam. They've removed a wall inside and

603
00:36:04,295 --> 00:36:07,655
Speaker 8: put it open plan, which is great, but there is

604
00:36:07,775 --> 00:36:09,415
Speaker 8: no consent for the change.

605
00:36:09,895 --> 00:36:10,055
Speaker 3: Right.

606
00:36:11,095 --> 00:36:14,855
Speaker 8: The council said they won't do anything about it. It's

607
00:36:15,055 --> 00:36:20,015
Speaker 8: not their problem. Yeah, it's more my problem when I

608
00:36:20,095 --> 00:36:24,655
Speaker 8: come to sell it, if someone decides to do some diligence.

609
00:36:24,775 --> 00:36:30,295
Speaker 8: And yeah, and also I also had to pay my insurance,

610
00:36:31,215 --> 00:36:34,215
Speaker 8: and I know the insurance lady, and I said to her, Okay,

611
00:36:34,375 --> 00:36:38,455
Speaker 8: now I put a spanner in the works here. What

612
00:36:38,695 --> 00:36:41,495
Speaker 8: if there's something in the house that has not been

613
00:36:43,015 --> 00:36:45,815
Speaker 8: And she said, well, previously, if you hadn't told me

614
00:36:45,855 --> 00:36:48,255
Speaker 8: and you didn't know, nothing would happen. But now that

615
00:36:48,375 --> 00:36:51,255
Speaker 8: you know, we've got to do something about it. So

616
00:36:51,375 --> 00:36:53,535
Speaker 8: it's my past place is still insure. But I've got

617
00:36:53,615 --> 00:36:57,055
Speaker 8: to find someone that can give me a report to

618

00:37:11,615 --> 00:37:14,895
Speaker 2: getting someone with the right credentials to prepare a report

622
00:37:14,975 --> 00:37:18,255
Speaker 2: that will be acceptable to counsel, it will need to

623
00:37:18,335 --> 00:37:21,375
Speaker 2: be someone like a building survey, right, So if you

624
00:37:21,535 --> 00:37:24,495
Speaker 2: go to building survey dot org dot nz I think

625
00:37:24,535 --> 00:37:27,495
Speaker 2: it is, or just search for n z ibs SO

626
00:37:27,655 --> 00:37:34,215
Speaker 2: the New Zealand Institute of Building Surveys ibs SO Institute

627
00:37:34,255 --> 00:37:38,575
Speaker 2: of New Zealand, Institute of Building Surveys. They and have

628
00:37:38,695 --> 00:37:42,055
Speaker 2: a look through that they'll find there's a tab there

629
00:37:42,095 --> 00:37:46,135
Speaker 2: that goes, you know, find a local building survey. You'll

630
00:37:46,215 --> 00:37:48,815
Speaker 2: find someone in the Bay of Plenty. In fact, I

631
00:37:48,975 --> 00:37:51,735
Speaker 2: know some people who work in that area because they're

632
00:37:51,775 --> 00:37:57,215
Speaker 2: on the executive. Oh sorry, hawks Bay, same thing. So

633
00:37:57,375 --> 00:38:00,815
Speaker 2: there'll be people there. Some of them will sort of

634
00:38:01,215 --> 00:38:04,735
Speaker 2: note what their specialty is, and so what you'll be

635
00:38:04,815 --> 00:38:09,655
Speaker 2: looking for is someone who who does certificate of acceptance. Right,

636
00:38:11,815 --> 00:38:16,055
Speaker 2: so someone will come along, they'll inspect the building. You

637
00:38:16,295 --> 00:38:22,415
Speaker 2: may have to do some destructive testing, like to like

638
00:38:22,575 --> 00:38:25,895
Speaker 2: can you tell what size and type of beam that's

639
00:38:25,935 --> 00:38:29,975
Speaker 2: been installed? You know, is it a steel beam, is

640
00:38:30,015 --> 00:38:32,575
Speaker 2: it a glue lamb beam? Is it two types of

641
00:38:32,615 --> 00:38:33,135
Speaker 2: beams with a.

642
00:38:33,135 --> 00:38:36,775
Speaker 11: Flip the roof?

643
00:38:37,415 --> 00:38:39,855
Speaker 2: Then that's fantastic. If you can do that, then you

644
00:38:39,895 --> 00:38:42,535
Speaker 2: can see what type of beam, what the span is,

645
00:38:42,615 --> 00:38:45,135
Speaker 2: what the load might be, how it's braced, has it

646
00:38:45,215 --> 00:38:48,695
Speaker 2: impacted on the total bracing elements for the wall. Prepare

647
00:38:48,775 --> 00:38:53,495
Speaker 2: a summary, including an updated floor plan and maybe a

648
00:38:53,535 --> 00:38:56,615
Speaker 2: cross section of that area, present that to council and

649
00:38:57,575 --> 00:39:01,415
Speaker 2: request a certificate of acceptance. And if the building surveyor

650
00:39:01,895 --> 00:39:05,415
Speaker 2: prepares that for you, council typically will just rub a

651
00:39:05,455 --> 00:39:07,695
Speaker 2: stamp it right, They'll make it and then they'll go

652
00:39:08,135 --> 00:39:11,415
Speaker 2: and do that, and then that brings all of your

653
00:39:11,455 --> 00:39:16,375
Speaker 2: building because you've had subsequent building consents issued for your property.

654
00:39:17,455 --> 00:39:20,535
Speaker 2: That what that certificate of acceptance gets attached to the

655
00:39:20,575 --> 00:39:23,455
Speaker 2: property file and then anyone coming to look at it

656
00:39:23,615 --> 00:39:29,895
Speaker 2: realizes that basically you've solved the problem. Right, it won't

657
00:39:30,135 --> 00:39:37,175
Speaker 2: be an expensive process. Okay, right, you know, if I.

658
00:39:37,255 --> 00:39:39,735
Speaker 8: Know an engineer, could I get an engineer to do it?

659
00:39:41,095 --> 00:39:44,615
Speaker 2: Yes, an engineer could prepare a report. That still need

660
00:39:44,775 --> 00:39:48,135
Speaker 2: you'd still need to get plans done, but yes, an engineer.

661
00:39:49,055 --> 00:39:51,015
Speaker 8: I actually do a floor plan and took it to

662
00:39:51,135 --> 00:39:54,655
Speaker 8: the insurance to show them where they because I've done

663
00:39:54,735 --> 00:39:56,775
Speaker 8: flaw plans before, so I've done that.

664
00:39:57,215 --> 00:40:01,575
Speaker 2: Look, you know, it's it's going to counsel with professional

665
00:40:01,735 --> 00:40:06,175
Speaker 2: advice from someone who has the qualifications to give prof

666
00:40:06,335 --> 00:40:10,335
Speaker 2: national advice to go here. You know, like I didn't

667
00:40:10,375 --> 00:40:13,175
Speaker 2: do this work. I've bought the property. I didn't realize

668
00:40:13,215 --> 00:40:16,015
Speaker 2: that it had been done. Now I'm fixing the problem.

669
00:40:16,415 --> 00:40:19,415
Speaker 2: And here's the evidence to say that the work that's

670
00:40:19,455 --> 00:40:21,895
Speaker 2: being done complies with the Building Act and with the

671
00:40:21,935 --> 00:40:26,375
Speaker 2: Building Code and all with the building code, and here's

672
00:40:26,495 --> 00:40:30,375
Speaker 2: the evidence for it. So if your engineer can provide

673
00:40:30,375 --> 00:40:31,615
Speaker 2: that evidence, that's fantastic.

674
00:40:32,615 --> 00:40:35,615
Speaker 8: Okay, so awesome, thank you very much.

675
00:40:36,935 --> 00:40:39,495
Speaker 2: Yeah, and look, you know, I get it. Not everyone

676
00:40:39,735 --> 00:40:43,255
Speaker 2: gets a pre purchase inspection. But I and I guess

677
00:40:43,295 --> 00:40:45,855
Speaker 2: it's the sort of thing that even your lawyer doing

678
00:40:46,015 --> 00:40:51,615
Speaker 2: the conveyancing might not have been aware of, because they

679
00:40:51,695 --> 00:40:54,055
Speaker 2: may not have looked at the original plans and asked

680
00:40:54,095 --> 00:40:57,095
Speaker 2: you if the plans line up with what's there at

681
00:40:57,095 --> 00:40:57,455
Speaker 2: the moment.

682
00:40:58,615 --> 00:41:01,615
Speaker 8: No, that's right, I don't know. Even the real estate

683
00:41:01,695 --> 00:41:08,295
Speaker 8: agent wouldn't have right. Yeah, I mean, I love my

684
00:41:08,375 --> 00:41:10,855
Speaker 8: house and I enjoy living here, so I'll I'll just

685
00:41:10,935 --> 00:41:15,015
Speaker 8: sort it all and look otherwise I'll just start here

686
00:41:15,095 --> 00:41:15,655
Speaker 8: and someone else.

687
00:41:16,695 --> 00:41:16,815
Speaker 13: Oh.

688
00:41:16,975 --> 00:41:18,975
Speaker 2: Look, I think if you can get it sorted out,

689
00:41:19,135 --> 00:41:22,855
Speaker 2: it look at it as an investment in the value

690
00:41:22,895 --> 00:41:24,775
Speaker 2: of your home, because when you go to sell it

691
00:41:25,015 --> 00:41:27,695
Speaker 2: and you don't have that problem, no one's going to

692
00:41:27,815 --> 00:41:30,295
Speaker 2: use that problem to drive the price down. Good luck

693
00:41:30,455 --> 00:41:32,175
Speaker 2: and all the very best. Lovely chatting with you this

717
00:42:43,175 --> 00:42:47,615
Speaker 2: with Willie just before the break. Hey, Pete, the person

718
00:42:47,695 --> 00:42:50,255
Speaker 2: with the unconsented work should speak with her lawyer about

719
00:42:50,295 --> 00:42:52,455
Speaker 2: recovering the costs from the people she bought it off.

720
00:42:52,495 --> 00:42:56,655
Speaker 2: In twenty eighteen, the standard real estate contract used throughout

721
00:42:56,695 --> 00:42:59,815
Speaker 2: New Zealand contains vendor warranties that if they carried out

722
00:42:59,895 --> 00:43:03,095
Speaker 2: any building work, they did so in accordance with the

723
00:43:03,135 --> 00:43:06,935
Speaker 2: Building Act and local council requirements, she may be able

724
00:43:07,015 --> 00:43:09,335
Speaker 2: to recover the cost of complying, even though it is

725
00:43:09,615 --> 00:43:12,495
Speaker 2: through the Disputes Tribunal for a breach of contract. Thank

726
00:43:12,495 --> 00:43:15,415
Speaker 2: you very much for pointing that out, Jeff, that's really helpful.

727
00:43:16,095 --> 00:43:18,255
Speaker 2: So Willy, if you're listening, maybe it is worth a

728
00:43:18,295 --> 00:43:21,575
Speaker 2: conversation with your lawyer to go, Hey, in this instance,

729
00:43:21,815 --> 00:43:25,455
Speaker 2: if work was done that everybody knows needs a consent

730
00:43:25,655 --> 00:43:29,175
Speaker 2: and was done without it, and that wasn't revealed in

731
00:43:29,295 --> 00:43:32,455
Speaker 2: the sale and purchase agreement, could you go back to them?

732
00:43:32,655 --> 00:43:35,655
Speaker 2: Maybe the time is too much. Time has passed, but hey,

733
00:43:35,695 --> 00:43:39,055
Speaker 2: look it's worth inquiring, absolutely to be fair. When I

734
00:43:39,095 --> 00:43:42,815
Speaker 2: first started reading that text, I was assuming that the

735
00:43:42,895 --> 00:43:45,935
Speaker 2: text was going to suggest that Willie goes back to

736
00:43:46,015 --> 00:43:48,415
Speaker 2: her lawyer and goes, how come you didn't pick that up.

737
00:43:50,775 --> 00:43:53,855
Speaker 2: I'm aware of one case where someone who purchased land

738
00:43:54,215 --> 00:43:56,295
Speaker 2: that turned out to be less than what they thought

739
00:43:56,375 --> 00:44:00,055
Speaker 2: they were buying. Right, there was a mistake in the

740
00:44:00,135 --> 00:44:03,535
Speaker 2: listening and both the real estate agent and the lawyer

741
00:44:04,575 --> 00:44:08,535
Speaker 2: ended up paying some compensation to the purchaser when they

742
00:44:08,695 --> 00:44:11,095
Speaker 2: realized that where they thought they could get three houses

743
00:44:11,135 --> 00:44:13,135
Speaker 2: on the development site, they could only get two. That

744
00:44:13,215 --> 00:44:15,415
Speaker 2: makes quite a big difference. Oh, eight hundred and eighty

745
00:44:15,495 --> 00:44:18,095
Speaker 2: ten eighty that number to call. Good morning, Peat Wolf

746
00:44:18,175 --> 00:44:20,215
Speaker 2: Camp here and Gavin, Good morning to you.

747
00:44:21,535 --> 00:44:22,095
Speaker 15: Good morning.

748
00:44:22,255 --> 00:44:26,895
Speaker 10: Hey there, Hey, I've just got some tiles laid yesterday

749
00:44:27,135 --> 00:44:32,255
Speaker 10: in my bathroom. This is going around the bath and vanity.

750
00:44:34,375 --> 00:44:38,255
Speaker 11: Today. I was hoping to nail some skirting on the

751
00:44:38,295 --> 00:44:39,135
Speaker 11: opposite wall.

752
00:44:39,775 --> 00:44:43,815
Speaker 2: Is it to ah, you're worried about sort of rumbling

753
00:44:43,895 --> 00:44:44,215
Speaker 2: them off?

754
00:44:45,175 --> 00:44:45,375
Speaker 3: Yeah?

755
00:44:48,415 --> 00:44:51,015
Speaker 2: Are you going old school with your nailing, as in

756
00:44:51,375 --> 00:44:58,055
Speaker 2: a hammer and a nail? Wow? Awesome? No, Look now

757
00:44:59,175 --> 00:45:01,775
Speaker 2: how we used to do it for forever, wasn't it

758
00:45:02,495 --> 00:45:08,695
Speaker 2: until these flash hairy nail guns came along? Oh no,

759
00:45:08,855 --> 00:45:10,175
Speaker 2: I think you'd probably be okay.

760
00:45:10,335 --> 00:45:14,015
Speaker 11: You know, I'll just leave it to the later part

761
00:45:14,095 --> 00:45:14,495
Speaker 11: of the day.

762
00:45:15,135 --> 00:45:20,255
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, yeah, hours, I think so. I mean, look,

763
00:45:21,215 --> 00:45:23,615
Speaker 2: have the tiles been grouted yet? No, if they were,

764
00:45:23,895 --> 00:45:25,735
Speaker 2: if they were stuck on yesterday.

765
00:45:26,255 --> 00:45:30,335
Speaker 10: Yeah, yeah, it's an ultramestic.

766
00:45:31,495 --> 00:45:31,815
Speaker 13: Glue.

767
00:45:32,215 --> 00:45:34,935
Speaker 10: So I was looking at the label, and it didn't

768
00:45:35,015 --> 00:45:36,375
Speaker 10: have any indication.

769
00:45:36,495 --> 00:45:43,975
Speaker 2: Of drying time or the curing time. M M. Look,

770
00:45:44,055 --> 00:45:46,895
Speaker 2: I think it'd be relatively low risk, right, I mean,

771
00:45:46,975 --> 00:45:49,575
Speaker 2: it's not if you said to me, I want to

772
00:45:49,935 --> 00:45:52,575
Speaker 2: frame up a wall adjacent it or something like that.

773
00:45:52,815 --> 00:45:56,175
Speaker 2: That's a lot more vibration, isn't it. I think if

774
00:45:56,415 --> 00:45:59,015
Speaker 2: you know, if it was me, i'd probably get on

775
00:45:59,175 --> 00:46:05,415
Speaker 2: do the scoutings as well. Yeah, yep, yeah, a simple one.

776
00:46:06,575 --> 00:46:08,655
Speaker 2: Just don't don't start to really. I know it's ten

777
00:46:08,735 --> 00:46:11,455
Speaker 2: past seven, but you know, swing and a hammer at

778
00:46:11,495 --> 00:46:16,535
Speaker 2: this hour of the morning's probably just I'd have a breakfast,

779
00:46:16,615 --> 00:46:18,655
Speaker 2: maybe listening to the rugby, and then get started.

780
00:46:19,775 --> 00:46:22,815
Speaker 11: Yea, yeah, I got some tight time frames.

781
00:46:23,015 --> 00:46:26,135
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, yeah, no, I hear you, I hear you

782
00:46:26,855 --> 00:46:30,215
Speaker 2: fair enough to look just be cautious, but I'm sure

783
00:46:30,255 --> 00:46:35,375
Speaker 2: you'd be fine to take care. I love this text.

784
00:46:35,455 --> 00:46:37,215
Speaker 2: How do you peak? No such thing as bad whether

785
00:46:37,255 --> 00:46:39,855
Speaker 2: you've just got the wrong jacket, been my philosophy for years.

786
00:46:39,935 --> 00:46:43,095
Speaker 2: Also quite funny you point out the apprentice, point out

787
00:46:43,215 --> 00:46:50,135
Speaker 2: to the apprentice they're actually born waterproof. Oh that's quite good. Actually,

788
00:46:50,135 --> 00:46:52,455
Speaker 2: I quite like that, Chris. Thank you. It makes me laugh,

789
00:46:52,535 --> 00:46:55,335
Speaker 2: have a good day and to you too, Chris. Hey, Look,

790
00:46:55,415 --> 00:46:58,015
Speaker 2: actually I did wear a jacket yesterday. That was that

791
00:46:58,175 --> 00:47:01,095
Speaker 2: was absolutely fine. It wasn't terribly rainy. And I tell

792
00:47:01,095 --> 00:47:03,095
Speaker 2: you what I don't like about working in the rain

793
00:47:03,335 --> 00:47:07,415
Speaker 2: is ruining you gear, right, That's pretty much which my

794
00:47:07,735 --> 00:47:09,295
Speaker 2: kind of cut off point. If I have to do

795
00:47:09,455 --> 00:47:13,335
Speaker 2: something where, you know, having a drop saw sitting out

796
00:47:13,455 --> 00:47:18,935
Speaker 2: in the rain, I can't stand that. I just don't

797
00:47:18,935 --> 00:47:21,535
Speaker 2: want to do it, or table saws and that sort

798
00:47:21,535 --> 00:47:24,535
Speaker 2: of thing. If it's something like yesterday, which was basically

799
00:47:24,695 --> 00:47:27,255
Speaker 2: just pulling apart some pipe and clip scaffolding that I

800
00:47:27,535 --> 00:47:30,935
Speaker 2: put up. Before everybody freaks out about me doing my

801
00:47:31,015 --> 00:47:33,855
Speaker 2: own scaffolding, it was very load of the ground. It

802
00:47:33,935 --> 00:47:36,415
Speaker 2: was just a platform that allowed me to get to

803
00:47:36,495 --> 00:47:39,215
Speaker 2: where I needed to get to replace all the ballasters

804
00:47:39,215 --> 00:47:41,655
Speaker 2: at the back of the deck. So I built it.

805
00:47:41,815 --> 00:47:43,575
Speaker 2: It was loaded the ground. It was just a really

806
00:47:43,655 --> 00:47:46,975
Speaker 2: sensible and easy way of being able to get access,

807
00:47:47,095 --> 00:47:51,255
Speaker 2: which actually made the whole job so much easier. So

808
00:47:51,455 --> 00:47:53,335
Speaker 2: rather than having to because it was over the top

809
00:47:53,375 --> 00:47:55,655
Speaker 2: of a garden, so I basically built a platform over

810
00:47:55,695 --> 00:47:57,815
Speaker 2: the top of the garden, which allowed me to wander

811
00:47:57,895 --> 00:47:59,975
Speaker 2: up and down there and work on the handrails and

812
00:48:00,375 --> 00:48:02,655
Speaker 2: the decking boards when I needed to. It was great.

813
00:48:03,615 --> 00:48:07,495
Speaker 2: Wasn't so great for the lavenders. I've basically killed those.

814
00:48:07,615 --> 00:48:10,215
Speaker 2: But back to the point about working in their own

815
00:48:11,295 --> 00:48:13,735
Speaker 2: I'm more than happy to work in the rain. And

816
00:48:13,815 --> 00:48:19,495
Speaker 2: you're right about the jackets. Tell you what, just quickly,

817
00:48:19,815 --> 00:48:22,935
Speaker 2: I cast your mind back, if you're in the Auckland

818
00:48:22,975 --> 00:48:26,415
Speaker 2: area to the January twenty third floods of twenty twenty

819
00:48:26,455 --> 00:48:30,815
Speaker 2: three or January twenty twenty three floods. Right, We as

820
00:48:30,855 --> 00:48:33,415
Speaker 2: a family had decided to go on the night when

821
00:48:33,455 --> 00:48:35,095
Speaker 2: they didn't tell us that we were going to have

822
00:48:35,455 --> 00:48:38,095
Speaker 2: one of the biggest storms we've ever had to the

823
00:48:38,175 --> 00:48:42,975
Speaker 2: Elton John concert. So we left home, hopped on the ferry,

824
00:48:43,055 --> 00:48:45,415
Speaker 2: came across the town and got picked up by another

825
00:48:45,495 --> 00:48:48,815
Speaker 2: family member, drove out to Mount Smart Stadium, went into

826
00:48:48,855 --> 00:48:52,695
Speaker 2: the stadium. Standing in the stadium, we'd got this is

827
00:48:52,775 --> 00:48:55,175
Speaker 2: the concert that we'd waited two years for because he

828
00:48:55,255 --> 00:48:58,815
Speaker 2: got sick last time he was here. And then we're

829
00:48:58,815 --> 00:49:02,775
Speaker 2: standing at Mount Smart Stadium, will go Media Stadium, it's called.

830
00:49:02,815 --> 00:49:07,095
Speaker 2: Now in the pouring rain and a couple of inches

831
00:49:07,135 --> 00:49:10,335
Speaker 2: of water on the playing field with this decking over

832
00:49:10,415 --> 00:49:13,135
Speaker 2: the top of it. And then guy comes out and goes, oh, look, hey,

833
00:49:13,215 --> 00:49:14,975
Speaker 2: by the way, we've been told to cancel a concert.

834
00:49:15,015 --> 00:49:17,975
Speaker 2: You've all got to go home. Carnage, right, what a

835
00:49:18,415 --> 00:49:21,335
Speaker 2: nightmare of a day. Only good thing about it was

836
00:49:21,655 --> 00:49:25,495
Speaker 2: I was wearing a Cactus rain coat. Cactus is a

837
00:49:25,535 --> 00:49:28,375
Speaker 2: New Zealand brand. They make them in christ Church. And

838
00:49:28,695 --> 00:49:30,575
Speaker 2: so for all of that rain, for all of the

839
00:49:30,655 --> 00:49:32,775
Speaker 2: walking around, and the day just got worse and worse

840
00:49:32,815 --> 00:49:35,135
Speaker 2: and worse. Right, people lost their keys. We had to

841
00:49:35,175 --> 00:49:37,335
Speaker 2: wander around looking for keys and the pouring. It was

842
00:49:37,375 --> 00:49:41,615
Speaker 2: a disastrous night. Got home eventually at about I don't know,

843
00:49:41,735 --> 00:49:45,055
Speaker 2: midnight or something like that. Bone dry. Thank you very much.

844
00:49:46,855 --> 00:49:49,175
Speaker 2: So you're right, there's no such thing as bad weather.

845
00:49:49,415 --> 00:49:52,655
Speaker 2: You've just got the wrong jacket. I hadn't wileheartedly agree

846
00:49:52,695 --> 00:49:55,535
Speaker 2: with you, Chris, And I love that, you know, pointing

847
00:49:55,535 --> 00:49:57,615
Speaker 2: out to the apprentice that they're actually born water fruit,

848
00:49:58,095 --> 00:50:01,295
Speaker 2: or as my mum would say, and still does, you're

849
00:50:01,335 --> 00:50:08,815
Speaker 2: not made of sugar. I agree. Good morning, Good morning,

850
00:50:08,895 --> 00:50:10,935
Speaker 2: How are you willing very well? Thank you? How can

851
00:50:10,975 --> 00:50:11,255
Speaker 2: I help?

852
00:50:11,335 --> 00:50:14,415
Speaker 10: Good? Hey, we were just we were just talking earlier

853
00:50:14,415 --> 00:50:15,935
Speaker 10: and I only picked up the tail the end of

854
00:50:15,975 --> 00:50:20,935
Speaker 10: it about the disclosure of putting when you when you

855
00:50:21,015 --> 00:50:23,535
Speaker 10: put your property on the market, and maybe having done

856
00:50:23,655 --> 00:50:24,615
Speaker 10: some of the why.

857
00:50:24,615 --> 00:50:25,135
Speaker 4: Work on it.

858
00:50:25,695 --> 00:50:30,295
Speaker 10: Yes, yeah, we're we we only just last week that

859
00:50:30,455 --> 00:50:32,655
Speaker 10: had been through the same thing, but with our properly

860
00:50:32,695 --> 00:50:35,775
Speaker 10: going on the market, and we put a number of

861
00:50:35,935 --> 00:50:42,255
Speaker 10: disclosures together, yes, for the sale, so that the lights

862
00:50:42,295 --> 00:50:44,655
Speaker 10: of what we've done is that we have we have

863
00:50:45,615 --> 00:50:48,895
Speaker 10: constructed or reconstructed the tail the end of our house

864
00:50:48,975 --> 00:50:52,495
Speaker 10: into a studio and having been in a very fortunate

865
00:50:52,615 --> 00:50:55,455
Speaker 10: situation where the studio once upon a time was a flat.

866
00:50:56,735 --> 00:50:59,535
Speaker 10: So when we came to when we came to with

867
00:50:59,655 --> 00:51:02,455
Speaker 10: the real estate agent of how we go about this,

868
00:51:02,775 --> 00:51:06,255
Speaker 10: and we've got a very comprehensive folder of photos.

869
00:51:05,775 --> 00:51:06,775
Speaker 7: And that sort of thing.

870
00:51:07,335 --> 00:51:09,815
Speaker 10: Any building work that we undertook light when we took

871
00:51:09,895 --> 00:51:12,975
Speaker 10: walls out and put themes in it, and in place

872
00:51:13,055 --> 00:51:16,895
Speaker 10: of walls, where we took windows out and put in windows,

873
00:51:16,935 --> 00:51:19,815
Speaker 10: couple based windows and that sort of thing, we had

874
00:51:19,855 --> 00:51:23,895
Speaker 10: a builder do that. So that was that's all good

875
00:51:24,095 --> 00:51:28,495
Speaker 10: under the licensed Building practitioner's license.

876
00:51:28,895 --> 00:51:31,655
Speaker 7: Okay, No, we did.

877
00:51:34,455 --> 00:51:38,895
Speaker 2: Like taking a wall out like we'll come back to that. Yep. Okay,

878
00:51:39,015 --> 00:51:42,855
Speaker 2: so you did some work that now is any of

879
00:51:42,935 --> 00:51:45,855
Speaker 2: the work that you're describing, did any of that work

880
00:51:45,975 --> 00:51:47,335
Speaker 2: require a building consent?

881
00:51:48,335 --> 00:51:48,375
Speaker 8: No?

882
00:51:49,095 --> 00:51:50,455
Speaker 2: What about taking a wall out?

883
00:51:51,895 --> 00:51:54,655
Speaker 10: It was only an internal walls that was nonstructural, okay,

884
00:51:54,815 --> 00:51:58,335
Speaker 10: ye right, so so so so to go back to

885
00:51:58,615 --> 00:52:02,935
Speaker 10: anything anything that was taken out was nonstructural, yes, okay.

886
00:52:03,495 --> 00:52:06,135
Speaker 10: So we had we had builders, we had builders put

887
00:52:06,175 --> 00:52:11,375
Speaker 10: in two beams of where we took out two nonstructural

888
00:52:11,495 --> 00:52:15,575
Speaker 10: walls okay, and where we had windows put in, we

889
00:52:15,735 --> 00:52:18,135
Speaker 10: had them fitted by the by the builders. So we've

890
00:52:18,135 --> 00:52:20,895
Speaker 10: got the invoices and the and the sign off for that.

891
00:52:22,295 --> 00:52:25,295
Speaker 2: And the window side didn't change, No.

892
00:52:25,935 --> 00:52:28,255
Speaker 10: We had the windows, we had the windows made to side.

893
00:52:28,295 --> 00:52:32,615
Speaker 10: So we structurally we didn't change anything too drastically in

894
00:52:32,695 --> 00:52:37,055
Speaker 10: the house. Right, So with the likes of when we

895
00:52:37,215 --> 00:52:40,295
Speaker 10: go we re lined the bathroom that that was obriginally

896
00:52:40,375 --> 00:52:43,175
Speaker 10: done in hard attacks, right, So it's quite an old house.

897
00:52:43,535 --> 00:52:46,935
Speaker 2: Yeah, sure, So we had it all.

898
00:52:47,095 --> 00:52:51,735
Speaker 10: We had all that done in aqua jib and that

899
00:52:51,855 --> 00:52:55,655
Speaker 10: sort of in that style of product, and again it

900
00:52:55,815 --> 00:53:01,095
Speaker 10: was all it was all done with the correct success

901
00:53:01,455 --> 00:53:04,735
Speaker 10: and that sort of thing, so we just we just

902
00:53:04,815 --> 00:53:06,695
Speaker 10: put it on the we just put it the closure

903
00:53:07,135 --> 00:53:12,135
Speaker 10: together right and basically being sold on it as is

904
00:53:12,295 --> 00:53:16,655
Speaker 10: where is basis, So it's up to the purchaser to

905
00:53:16,855 --> 00:53:20,815
Speaker 10: do their due diligence.

906
00:53:22,095 --> 00:53:22,255
Speaker 9: Right.

907
00:53:22,895 --> 00:53:26,895
Speaker 10: So basically it said that we're selling on an ass

908
00:53:27,095 --> 00:53:29,255
Speaker 10: where is basis. The whole house has been done with

909
00:53:29,295 --> 00:53:33,255
Speaker 10: the extension of the roof, It's all been insulated to

910
00:53:33,455 --> 00:53:37,855
Speaker 10: the required building app one. Unit Unit two does not

911
00:53:38,015 --> 00:53:39,935
Speaker 10: have a heat hunt in it, so that's part of

912
00:53:40,015 --> 00:53:43,455
Speaker 10: our disclosure as well, and that sort of thing. So

913
00:53:43,895 --> 00:53:46,615
Speaker 10: just to try and make it easy for the purchaser

914
00:53:47,935 --> 00:53:49,655
Speaker 10: to come in and go, I need to do that,

915
00:53:49,815 --> 00:53:51,655
Speaker 10: I need to do that. I need to identify that.

916
00:53:52,135 --> 00:53:55,375
Speaker 2: When you say it's been insulated, is that insulation in

917
00:53:55,415 --> 00:53:57,575
Speaker 2: the underfloor and the and the roof space, not on

918
00:53:57,655 --> 00:53:58,095
Speaker 2: the walls.

919
00:53:59,135 --> 00:54:02,295
Speaker 10: We were really fortunate that the house that we bought,

920
00:54:02,655 --> 00:54:05,815
Speaker 10: the sea has big the floor had already been done.

921
00:54:07,615 --> 00:54:12,535
Speaker 10: He had to do was the ceiling and the walls

922
00:54:12,575 --> 00:54:16,615
Speaker 10: and units two and three. So Unit one was all

923
00:54:16,695 --> 00:54:20,175
Speaker 10: forty done, all it was all it was all compliant

924
00:54:21,255 --> 00:54:23,815
Speaker 10: and it's been a four year project. We've just been

925
00:54:23,895 --> 00:54:26,215
Speaker 10: progressively working through the whole fact.

926
00:54:27,455 --> 00:54:30,055
Speaker 2: Just just on the wall, on the wall installation. So

927
00:54:30,175 --> 00:54:33,295
Speaker 2: did you add insulation to an existing exterior wall?

928
00:54:35,575 --> 00:54:36,135
Speaker 11: Yeah, we did.

929
00:54:36,415 --> 00:54:40,215
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that requires a building consent.

930
00:54:41,455 --> 00:54:44,455
Speaker 10: After it was after that war was repaired.

931
00:54:45,855 --> 00:54:51,295
Speaker 2: That requires a building consent. Interestingly enough told that, well

932
00:54:51,335 --> 00:54:59,935
Speaker 2: it does. Yeah, And I'm not I'm not trying to

933
00:54:59,975 --> 00:55:03,055
Speaker 2: play gotcha or anything like that. It's just and and look,

934
00:55:03,135 --> 00:55:06,935
Speaker 2: I for taking that a step further. I actually think

935
00:55:06,975 --> 00:55:09,535
Speaker 2: that that's the sort of work that should be under

936
00:55:09,575 --> 00:55:11,815
Speaker 2: Schedule one of the Building Act in terms of work

937
00:55:11,855 --> 00:55:14,815
Speaker 2: that can be done without necessarily requiring a consent, should

938
00:55:14,855 --> 00:55:18,495
Speaker 2: be done by a licensed building practitioner, but right now

939
00:55:18,855 --> 00:55:23,575
Speaker 2: it's not. And installing exterior insulation into an existing exterior

940
00:55:23,655 --> 00:55:29,935
Speaker 2: wall requires a consent. So yeah, anyway, look, I think

941
00:55:29,975 --> 00:55:32,775
Speaker 2: the way in which you've approached it is really sound, right. So,

942
00:55:33,375 --> 00:55:35,495
Speaker 2: you know, one of the concerns often is that people

943
00:55:35,615 --> 00:55:39,175
Speaker 2: do work. Sometimes it should have had a consent. Sometimes

944
00:55:39,215 --> 00:55:41,775
Speaker 2: that might not, but they don't keep any records of it,

945
00:55:41,975 --> 00:55:48,415
Speaker 2: and so there's an uncertainty. In Willie's example, they've purchased

946
00:55:48,495 --> 00:55:52,135
Speaker 2: something they didn't know that there was once a wall there.

947
00:55:52,215 --> 00:55:54,975
Speaker 2: They've discovered that there was one there there's no evidence

948
00:55:55,135 --> 00:55:58,215
Speaker 2: to say it was done correctly, and it makes it

949
00:55:58,415 --> 00:55:59,375
Speaker 2: very very difficult.

950
00:55:59,855 --> 00:56:00,015
Speaker 11: You know.

951
00:56:00,135 --> 00:56:02,735
Speaker 2: It sounds like you've taken a really thorough approach. You're

952
00:56:02,735 --> 00:56:04,775
Speaker 2: recording everything, you're providing evidence.

953
00:56:05,215 --> 00:56:05,375
Speaker 3: You know.

954
00:56:05,415 --> 00:56:08,335
Speaker 2: It's even things like if you if I'm not suggesting

955
00:56:08,375 --> 00:56:10,415
Speaker 2: people do, but if you did put a beam in

956
00:56:11,495 --> 00:56:14,135
Speaker 2: and take a photograph of the fixings, right and the

957
00:56:14,655 --> 00:56:17,215
Speaker 2: posts that go underneath it before you line it, and

958
00:56:17,335 --> 00:56:20,015
Speaker 2: then that becomes and then if you then want to

959
00:56:20,055 --> 00:56:22,615
Speaker 2: get someone to formalize it with a certificate of acceptance,

960
00:56:22,975 --> 00:56:25,055
Speaker 2: you could provide that as evidence. They can review the

961
00:56:25,095 --> 00:56:27,975
Speaker 2: evidence and go, hey, there's enough here for me to

962
00:56:28,215 --> 00:56:30,735
Speaker 2: conclude that the work was done in accordance with the

963
00:56:30,775 --> 00:56:31,975
Speaker 2: building code. Simple.

964
00:56:33,895 --> 00:56:37,415
Speaker 10: Yeah, we've basically put it together so that they can

965
00:56:37,455 --> 00:56:41,295
Speaker 10: see for themselves, what what what we have done? Yes?

966
00:56:41,535 --> 00:56:44,415
Speaker 10: And then a nutshell the only thing that has the

967
00:56:44,495 --> 00:56:45,735
Speaker 10: roots painted.

968
00:56:46,175 --> 00:56:52,295
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, Look, I think as a general thing, there

969
00:56:52,375 --> 00:56:54,975
Speaker 2: was there was a phrase that was coined by I

970
00:56:55,015 --> 00:56:58,495
Speaker 2: think it was actually Green Building Council ages ago when

971
00:56:58,535 --> 00:57:02,095
Speaker 2: I did the Home Star program, that we should encourage

972
00:57:02,095 --> 00:57:05,175
Speaker 2: people to have a hug right a home user guide,

973
00:57:05,615 --> 00:57:08,815
Speaker 2: so you know, keep all of that documentation. If you've

974
00:57:08,895 --> 00:57:11,455
Speaker 2: done electrical work, if you've had plumbing work done, if

975
00:57:11,495 --> 00:57:15,055
Speaker 2: you've bought new appliances, keep all of that stuff. Put

976
00:57:15,095 --> 00:57:17,815
Speaker 2: it in a file or create a digital file, store

977
00:57:17,855 --> 00:57:21,175
Speaker 2: it in the cloud, and then you know, and I

978
00:57:21,375 --> 00:57:24,215
Speaker 2: know sometimes acting for people who are looking at it.

979
00:57:25,215 --> 00:57:27,735
Speaker 2: I went and did one on Friday, right, someone said,

980
00:57:27,735 --> 00:57:29,015
Speaker 2: could you have a look at this house with me

981
00:57:29,095 --> 00:57:31,975
Speaker 2: before I'm thinking of making an offer? On the table

982
00:57:32,455 --> 00:57:36,495
Speaker 2: was the complete property file, copies of the consents, receipts,

983
00:57:36,735 --> 00:57:40,255
Speaker 2: everything was there, and you go, that's fantastic. So you know,

984
00:57:40,415 --> 00:57:42,215
Speaker 2: I think it's I think it's great if we can

985
00:57:42,295 --> 00:57:46,815
Speaker 2: move towards more and more people doing exactly the same thing. Yeah, yeah,

986
00:57:47,495 --> 00:57:50,255
Speaker 2: appreciate the call. Good luck and is this property now

987
00:57:50,375 --> 00:57:53,535
Speaker 2: up for sale the properly marketed?

988
00:57:54,495 --> 00:57:54,655
Speaker 11: WEK?

989
00:57:54,855 --> 00:57:59,855
Speaker 2: Wow, okay, good luck, Yeah, thank you, no trouble at all.

990
00:58:00,415 --> 00:58:04,135
Speaker 2: A nice jetting, good stuff, all the best, you two

991
00:58:04,255 --> 00:58:09,095
Speaker 2: take care. Oh wait eighty ten eighty interesting call someone

992
00:58:09,135 --> 00:58:10,615
Speaker 2: to text through there and go why would you put

993
00:58:10,615 --> 00:58:14,175
Speaker 2: a beaman when removing a non structural wall, you still

994
00:58:14,375 --> 00:58:16,775
Speaker 2: might have things like ceiling strapping and that sort of

995
00:58:16,815 --> 00:58:18,855
Speaker 2: thing that you want to pick up right, so you know,

996
00:58:20,215 --> 00:58:23,055
Speaker 2: in some cases the wall is holding up structural ailments.

997
00:58:23,295 --> 00:58:27,975
Speaker 2: Sometimes it's just holding up you know, ceiling batons and

998
00:58:28,015 --> 00:58:30,735
Speaker 2: that sort of thing. So and also putting in a

999
00:58:30,815 --> 00:58:32,695
Speaker 2: beaman means you don't have to try and level out

1000
00:58:32,735 --> 00:58:35,695
Speaker 2: the ceilings and those sorts of things. Eight hundred eighty

1001
00:58:35,775 --> 00:58:38,295
Speaker 2: ten eighty is the number to call. A couple of

1002
00:58:38,335 --> 00:58:40,295

Speaker 2: so get in now. Oh eight hundred eighty ten eighty.

1004
00:58:42,935 --> 00:58:47,575
Speaker 2: We've got a slightly shorter show today because we've got

1005
00:58:47,615 --> 00:58:50,815
Speaker 2: the Rugby All Blacks v. Pumas kick off just after

1006
00:58:50,895 --> 00:58:53,575

00:58:53,615 --> 00:58:55,975
Speaker 2: at eight forty five, which means we'll get ridden a

1008
00:58:56,095 --> 00:58:59,975
Speaker 2: little bit earlier, so give us a call now. Basically,

1009
00:59:00,095 --> 00:59:02,255
Speaker 2: oh eight hundred eighty ten eighty the number to call.

1010
00:59:03,095 --> 00:59:05,175
Speaker 2: Squeaky door or squeaky floor.

1011
00:59:05,415 --> 00:59:08,695
Speaker 1: Get the right advice from Peta Wolfcare, the resident builder

1012
00:59:08,975 --> 00:59:11,375
Speaker 1: on NEWSTALKSB you.

1013
00:59:11,415 --> 00:59:13,415
Speaker 2: A news talks 'b if you've got a building question

1014
00:59:13,815 --> 00:59:18,695
Speaker 2: or a question around you know, products new ideas. Did

1015
00:59:18,735 --> 00:59:21,775
Speaker 2: I ever update people about the whole vice thing? And

1016
00:59:21,855 --> 00:59:25,375
Speaker 2: I apologies for people that go stop talking about their

1017
00:59:25,415 --> 00:59:28,335
Speaker 2: vice anyway, just quickly. I think a couple of weeks ago,

1018
00:59:28,335 --> 00:59:30,415
Speaker 2: I mentioned that I'd stripped an old vice off the bench,

1019
00:59:31,855 --> 00:59:34,775
Speaker 2: beautiful old English made, you know, made in Britain, stamped

1020
00:59:34,815 --> 00:59:37,295
Speaker 2: on the front and the castings, cleaned it all up,

1021
00:59:37,455 --> 00:59:39,695
Speaker 2: and then wanted something to spray on it that would

1022
00:59:39,775 --> 00:59:42,815
Speaker 2: keep the rust at bay, basically, so I ended up

1023
00:59:42,895 --> 00:59:47,415
Speaker 2: using that penetrol and look, it's worked well. I put

1024
00:59:47,455 --> 00:59:49,775
Speaker 2: it all back together again. I put the vice back

1025
00:59:49,815 --> 00:59:51,895
Speaker 2: onto the bench and actually, when I was in the

1026
00:59:51,935 --> 00:59:55,055
Speaker 2: workshop yesterday, I was trying to drill a hole into

1027
00:59:55,055 --> 00:59:56,975
Speaker 2: a small piece of timber and it's all a little

1028
00:59:56,975 --> 00:59:59,095
Speaker 2: bit hazardous and all the rest of it, and I

1029
00:59:59,175 --> 01:00:02,455
Speaker 2: was like, hang on, I've replaced my vent, I've fixed

1030
01:00:02,495 --> 01:00:05,135
Speaker 2: my vice. I can use the vice, which I did,

1031
01:00:05,255 --> 01:00:08,295
Speaker 2: and it worked. It's great, and it's still looking pretty good.

1032
01:00:08,295 --> 01:00:11,535
Speaker 2: Actually I left it sort of in that patina of

1033
01:00:11,735 --> 01:00:13,895
Speaker 2: rust and wear and a few bits of glue and

1034
01:00:14,015 --> 01:00:16,735
Speaker 2: paint stuck on it, and then just hopefully that pinatrol

1035
01:00:16,735 --> 01:00:19,095
Speaker 2: will keep the rust at bake, which will be awesome. Kate,

1036
01:00:19,295 --> 01:00:24,455
Speaker 2: good morning to you, Greetings Pete, how are you very well?

1037
01:00:24,655 --> 01:00:26,775
Speaker 2: Thank you very much, and you good, thank you.

1038
01:00:27,095 --> 01:00:27,735
Speaker 13: I'm well, thank you.

1039
01:00:27,735 --> 01:00:31,095
Speaker 15: A quick question, I hope for you. I've got some

1040
01:00:31,375 --> 01:00:35,575
Speaker 15: cyber cement weather boards, and there are the three hundred ones.

1041
01:00:36,135 --> 01:00:39,095
Speaker 15: I've maintained the house very well. It's been painted every

1042
01:00:39,175 --> 01:00:42,975
Speaker 15: ten years and washed regularly. But recently one of my

1043
01:00:43,535 --> 01:00:46,095
Speaker 15: darling tenants, and I don't want her to play for this,

1044
01:00:47,055 --> 01:00:50,175
Speaker 15: has driven her car just a little too close and

1045
01:00:50,375 --> 01:00:53,735
Speaker 15: cracked cracked as the lowest board. But the thing is

1046
01:00:54,215 --> 01:00:57,135
Speaker 15: that the crack is such that the lower part of

1047
01:00:57,175 --> 01:01:00,415
Speaker 15: the crack is proud, and so it might be collecting water. Yes,

1048
01:01:01,455 --> 01:01:04,495
Speaker 15: And I don't know what to use to fill that.

1049
01:01:04,775 --> 01:01:06,575
Speaker 15: I presume I can just feel. I've got a few

1050
01:01:06,615 --> 01:01:09,495
Speaker 15: other cracks elsewhere, but they're vertical and they've never been

1051
01:01:09,535 --> 01:01:13,575
Speaker 15: a problem. Yes, So can I just fill it with

1052
01:01:13,695 --> 01:01:15,455
Speaker 15: something side or wood?

1053
01:01:16,735 --> 01:01:16,855
Speaker 3: Uh?

1054
01:01:17,335 --> 01:01:17,535
Speaker 14: Yeah?

1055
01:01:17,735 --> 01:01:21,615
Speaker 2: Probably. There's there's kind of two approaches. One, as you

1056
01:01:21,695 --> 01:01:24,135
Speaker 2: put a filler in there, you've just got to get

1057
01:01:24,135 --> 01:01:27,815
Speaker 2: something that's going to bond to the surface, right, which

1058
01:01:27,975 --> 01:01:30,175
Speaker 2: might you know, getting a filler to stick to the

1059
01:01:30,295 --> 01:01:35,255
Speaker 2: paint and presume it's been painted, it may not stick

1060
01:01:35,335 --> 01:01:37,055
Speaker 2: that well, in which case they kind of peel off

1061
01:01:37,455 --> 01:01:40,415
Speaker 2: So for example, builder's bog, which people use a lot,

1062
01:01:41,655 --> 01:01:44,135
Speaker 2: you can't use if the surface is being painted right.

1063
01:01:44,295 --> 01:01:48,935
Speaker 2: So I actually I use one that I got the

1064
01:01:49,055 --> 01:01:54,575
Speaker 2: other day. It's like a two pot epoxy filler, but

1065
01:01:54,695 --> 01:01:58,135
Speaker 2: it's quite light and easy to send later on called

1066
01:01:58,255 --> 01:02:01,735
Speaker 2: EPO tech E p O T E C. You've got

1067
01:02:01,815 --> 01:02:03,015
Speaker 2: to kind of look that up and look for a

1068
01:02:03,055 --> 01:02:06,895
Speaker 2: local distributor. I've been using that really like it. The

1069
01:02:07,015 --> 01:02:09,935
Speaker 2: other approach that I've taken with five or cement boards

1070
01:02:10,175 --> 01:02:13,415
Speaker 2: is I'll actually go and get some flashings made, like

1071
01:02:13,495 --> 01:02:16,775
Speaker 2: a big wide soka. So you need to find a

1072
01:02:16,815 --> 01:02:19,855
Speaker 2: sheet metal guy. Just let's say that I imagine if

1073
01:02:19,895 --> 01:02:22,215
Speaker 2: the towbar hit it, you know, you might have a

1074
01:02:22,255 --> 01:02:26,135
Speaker 2: crack that's sort of one hundred millimeters across. I would

1075
01:02:26,175 --> 01:02:30,415
Speaker 2: get a two hundred millimeter piece of flat sheet folded

1076
01:02:30,455 --> 01:02:32,335
Speaker 2: with a little return on the bottom which is probably

1077
01:02:32,375 --> 01:02:35,015
Speaker 2: about seven or eight millimeters for the thickness of the board,

1078
01:02:35,535 --> 01:02:37,895
Speaker 2: and then allow it to go up ten or fifteen

1079
01:02:37,935 --> 01:02:42,295
Speaker 2: millimeters past the underside of the board above. So it

1080
01:02:42,455 --> 01:02:45,255
Speaker 2: requires kind of levering that board out very gently without

1081
01:02:45,335 --> 01:02:47,655
Speaker 2: cracking that one as well. And I just put a

1082
01:02:47,775 --> 01:02:51,695
Speaker 2: soka over the whole thing and painted in because that's

1083
01:02:52,455 --> 01:02:54,175
Speaker 2: pretty much guaranteed to be weather tight.

1084
01:02:55,295 --> 01:02:56,775
Speaker 15: Well, it gets your permission to hit it again, I

1085
01:02:56,815 --> 01:02:57,375
Speaker 15: suppose to that.

1086
01:02:57,935 --> 01:02:59,815
Speaker 2: Well, it gives you a target. Yeah, don't paint that

1087
01:02:59,975 --> 01:03:03,535
Speaker 2: red or put a bullseye on it. Yeah. So yes,

1088
01:03:04,095 --> 01:03:06,935
Speaker 2: some fillers look and if it's like a vertical crack,

1089
01:03:06,975 --> 01:03:09,975
Speaker 2: which happens sometimes you can kind of gently rake it

1090
01:03:10,095 --> 01:03:12,495
Speaker 2: out a little bit and then apply a bead of

1091
01:03:12,655 --> 01:03:14,575
Speaker 2: sealant to that that's paintable.

1092
01:03:15,815 --> 01:03:18,175
Speaker 15: The key is so just down a bit and make it,

1093
01:03:18,255 --> 01:03:19,815
Speaker 15: give it a rough surface to hear.

1094
01:03:19,815 --> 01:03:22,575
Speaker 2: Or even with a sharp knife, just just go along

1095
01:03:22,695 --> 01:03:25,175
Speaker 2: the edge of the crack and kind of create like

1096
01:03:25,215 --> 01:03:27,895
Speaker 2: a little v because otherwise, you know, if it's a

1097
01:03:27,935 --> 01:03:30,335
Speaker 2: hairline crack and you apply a bead of sealant, it's

1098
01:03:30,415 --> 01:03:33,295
Speaker 2: just sitting on the surface. Whereas if you can even

1099
01:03:33,335 --> 01:03:35,415
Speaker 2: if you ended up making it kind of straight, putting

1100
01:03:35,415 --> 01:03:37,455
Speaker 2: a roller there and cutting a v in and then

1101
01:03:37,575 --> 01:03:41,335
Speaker 2: filling that v and then painting over it would leave

1102
01:03:41,375 --> 01:03:42,935
Speaker 2: a nice clean surface.

1103
01:03:44,295 --> 01:03:46,455
Speaker 15: So now you're talking about the EPO tax for the

1104
01:03:46,535 --> 01:03:47,215
Speaker 15: vertical crack.

1105
01:03:47,375 --> 01:03:49,815
Speaker 2: No, that would be like a sealant, like a flexible

1106
01:03:50,015 --> 01:03:55,855
Speaker 2: paintable sealant that you could use. Yeah, that's that's what

1107
01:03:55,975 --> 01:03:59,655
Speaker 2: I would do in those instances if I didn't want

1108
01:03:59,695 --> 01:04:03,775
Speaker 2: to do a flashing. Okay, yeah, so a couple.

1109
01:04:03,615 --> 01:04:06,895
Speaker 15: Of different the other on the other the oratical ones

1110
01:04:06,935 --> 01:04:10,015
Speaker 15: on a different property next door. Sure don't seem to

1111
01:04:10,095 --> 01:04:12,815
Speaker 15: get wet at all because the water just runs. They're

1112
01:04:12,935 --> 01:04:16,055
Speaker 15: very small. They just go through a door, door frame.

1113
01:04:16,495 --> 01:04:17,375
Speaker 8: It's just piny.

1114
01:04:18,255 --> 01:04:20,975
Speaker 2: Yeah. Look, if you know, if you're not concerned about

1115
01:04:21,015 --> 01:04:24,095
Speaker 2: moisture ingress, right, water getting into the building, then just

1116
01:04:24,215 --> 01:04:27,095
Speaker 2: ceiling it with some paint or some sealant will be okay,

1117
01:04:27,575 --> 01:04:31,615
Speaker 2: something like that. That's where it's been dislocated. Let's say

1118
01:04:31,655 --> 01:04:35,775
Speaker 2: where it's it's uneven. You know the tricky thing. I

1119
01:04:35,815 --> 01:04:38,295
Speaker 2: suppose in this instance it's being pushed in. But typically

1120
01:04:38,335 --> 01:04:40,935
Speaker 2: when a board gets pushed in, part of it pops out,

1121
01:04:41,015 --> 01:04:45,255
Speaker 2: so you'll have one part that's slightly proud, in which

1122
01:04:45,375 --> 01:04:51,575
Speaker 2: case you might, yeah, consider the flash to.

1123
01:04:51,655 --> 01:04:53,415
Speaker 15: Do the flashing. Yeah, it sounds like a good idea.

1124
01:04:53,615 --> 01:04:56,615
Speaker 2: It's a it's what i'd call a belt embraces approach. Right,

1125
01:04:56,975 --> 01:04:59,495
Speaker 2: so you're covering the area you know it's going to

1126
01:04:59,495 --> 01:05:02,895
Speaker 2: be weather tight. And yes it does stand out a

1127
01:05:02,935 --> 01:05:06,215
Speaker 2: little bit, but you just know that it'll work.

1128
01:05:07,855 --> 01:05:08,455
Speaker 11: Yeah, brilliant.

1129
01:05:08,895 --> 01:05:11,135
Speaker 15: Well it's going to be painted next year anyway, against

1130
01:05:11,215 --> 01:05:12,895
Speaker 15: you for a paint, so it will be covered well.

1131
01:05:13,095 --> 01:05:14,575
Speaker 15: For flashing, you can punt the flashing.

1132
01:05:14,695 --> 01:05:16,575
Speaker 2: You can paint the flashing any color you like.

1133
01:05:18,015 --> 01:05:18,295
Speaker 15: Thank you.

1134
01:05:18,735 --> 01:05:22,455
Speaker 2: All right, that's to chat with you all the very Okay,

1135
01:05:22,535 --> 01:05:25,015
Speaker 2: take care, k bye oh eight hundred and eighty ten eight.

1136
01:05:25,015 --> 01:05:27,135
Speaker 2: If you'd like to join me and have a chat

1137
01:05:27,215 --> 01:05:31,815
Speaker 2: about all things building, we can do exactly that morning

1138
01:05:31,895 --> 01:05:37,615
Speaker 2: I mentioned the extractor Simmis s I m X. Do

1139
01:05:37,815 --> 01:05:40,095
Speaker 2: you have a really good high end bassroom fan please,

1140
01:05:40,135 --> 01:05:42,575
Speaker 2: one that looks great and works well. Look, there's all

1141
01:05:42,655 --> 01:05:45,215
Speaker 2: sorts out there. The reason I mentioned the Simmix one

1142
01:05:45,495 --> 01:05:50,375
Speaker 2: is that so s I m X and it's a

1143
01:05:51,695 --> 01:05:53,815
Speaker 2: I can find it. I think it's a four nine

1144
01:05:54,175 --> 01:05:56,655
Speaker 2: zero four nine or something. I'll get the right number

1145
01:05:56,695 --> 01:05:59,655
Speaker 2: for you in a minute. It's a constant flow fan,

1146
01:05:59,975 --> 01:06:04,775
Speaker 2: so it will run all of the time, just allowing

1147
01:06:04,975 --> 01:06:09,055
Speaker 2: for airflow, right, so it'll ramp up when it needs

1148
01:06:09,095 --> 01:06:11,455
Speaker 2: to when it detects humidity. So it's got a little

1149
01:06:11,535 --> 01:06:14,575
Speaker 2: humidity sensor in it, so in a bathroom, it'll ramp

1150
01:06:14,695 --> 01:06:18,335
Speaker 2: up maximum extraction when there's humidity are you when you're

1151
01:06:18,335 --> 01:06:21,295
Speaker 2: having a shower using the bath and then once that

1152
01:06:21,775 --> 01:06:25,815
Speaker 2: humidity level has dropped down, the rate of flow will

1153
01:06:25,935 --> 01:06:28,535
Speaker 2: drop down or the rate of extraction, and it will

1154
01:06:28,615 --> 01:06:31,695
Speaker 2: run just to allow air circulation through the room. The

1155
01:06:31,815 --> 01:06:36,455
Speaker 2: other thing that's sometimes overlooked with bathrooms and bathroom extraction

1156
01:06:36,775 --> 01:06:39,935
Speaker 2: is if you're going to be extracting so many liters

1157
01:06:40,055 --> 01:06:42,935
Speaker 2: of air per minute out of a bathroom, you've got

1158
01:06:42,975 --> 01:06:44,975
Speaker 2: to be able to allow that to go in. Otherwise,

1159
01:06:45,015 --> 01:06:47,775
Speaker 2: what you're doing is creating a vacuum. So if you

1160
01:06:47,975 --> 01:06:51,415
Speaker 2: don't have a sufficient gap underneath the door and you

1161
01:06:51,495 --> 01:06:53,575
Speaker 2: want to keep the door closed in the bathroom when

1162
01:06:53,615 --> 01:06:56,455
Speaker 2: you're using the bathroom, you'll need to make sure that

1163
01:06:56,535 --> 01:06:59,535
Speaker 2: you increase that gap between the floor and the underside

1164
01:06:59,575 --> 01:07:02,895
Speaker 2: of the door to allow airflow. Obviously, leaving the door

1165
01:07:02,935 --> 01:07:06,975
Speaker 2: open would help. Leaving a window open helps, but it

1166
01:07:07,295 --> 01:07:11,615
Speaker 2: tends to create a funny flow, I think, So make

1167
01:07:11,655 --> 01:07:14,175
Speaker 2: sure that the a gap underneath the door. That's really

1168
01:07:14,255 --> 01:07:17,335
Speaker 2: really important as well. Oh eight hundred eighty ten eighty.

1169
01:07:17,455 --> 01:07:21,215
Speaker 2: If you have a question of building about building, we

1170
01:07:21,255 --> 01:07:24,535
Speaker 2: can talk about that morning Peak. Last Sunday, following the

1171
01:07:24,535 --> 01:07:27,135
Speaker 2: advice of a caller, I went and bought some Patrol,

1172
01:07:27,735 --> 01:07:33,895
Speaker 2: used it, loved it. I now Patrol. Yeah, I'm within

1173
01:07:34,015 --> 01:07:35,015
Speaker 2: an inch of its life.

1174
01:07:36,895 --> 01:07:37,095
Speaker 3: Ah.

Speaker 2: Oh, very good morning, welcome back to the show, and Peggy,

1184
01:08:02,775 --> 01:08:03,615
Speaker 2: good morning to you.

1185
01:08:04,415 --> 01:08:04,975
Speaker 16: Good morning.

1186
01:08:06,535 --> 01:08:06,655
Speaker 15: Now.

1187
01:08:06,815 --> 01:08:12,455
Speaker 16: I had had an overflowing hot water pipe that came

1188
01:08:12,575 --> 01:08:17,495
Speaker 16: down inside and when the new roof on about four

1189
01:08:17,655 --> 01:08:22,095
Speaker 16: years ago, when the plumber got up, there was a

1190
01:08:22,175 --> 01:08:25,415
Speaker 16: slight there was a split or a little hole around

1191
01:08:25,495 --> 01:08:28,975
Speaker 16: the base of the hot water pipe. Now that would

1192
01:08:28,975 --> 01:08:32,055
Speaker 16: have been viewed when the roof was put on, and

1193
01:08:33,375 --> 01:08:35,695
Speaker 16: I've been thinking. I woke up the other night and

1194
01:08:35,815 --> 01:08:40,255
Speaker 16: suddenly remembered because when I'm inside looking at the wallpaper,

1195
01:08:40,775 --> 01:08:46,175
Speaker 16: there's a split in one corner down from the Scotia

1196
01:08:46,535 --> 01:08:51,495
Speaker 16: right down the wall, slipped wallpaper and made it raised. Yes,

1197
01:08:51,855 --> 01:08:53,695
Speaker 16: they see there's been movement there.

1198
01:08:55,015 --> 01:08:55,175
Speaker 13: Now.

1199
01:08:55,695 --> 01:08:58,855
Speaker 16: I roke up here the other night and I've been

1200
01:08:58,975 --> 01:09:01,575
Speaker 16: wondering why the hell has this happened on a new roof,

1201
01:09:02,575 --> 01:09:06,055
Speaker 16: And I remembered, going back about three years. It was

1202
01:09:06,335 --> 01:09:13,095
Speaker 16: after the cyclone. I had a leaking pipe outside on

1203
01:09:13,295 --> 01:09:17,895
Speaker 16: the one end of the building. I rang a plumber,

1204
01:09:18,335 --> 01:09:20,175
Speaker 16: got him to come in, and I asked him to

1205
01:09:20,215 --> 01:09:23,015
Speaker 16: put a new washer in that tap. He didn't put

1206
01:09:23,055 --> 01:09:25,375
Speaker 16: a new washer, and he tore the tap off. I

1207
01:09:25,495 --> 01:09:29,135
Speaker 16: stood beside him and I watched him. Book Now, when

1208
01:09:29,215 --> 01:09:33,855
Speaker 16: he removed the tap, he wrenched it and he actually,

1209
01:09:34,095 --> 01:09:38,655
Speaker 16: because I was alarmed, the the in flow from the street.

1210
01:09:39,695 --> 01:09:42,535
Speaker 16: So it was the main tap onto the side house. Yep,

1211
01:09:43,535 --> 01:09:46,015
Speaker 16: he bent that pipe where it came up. There's a

1212
01:09:46,095 --> 01:09:49,895
Speaker 16: concrete path right along the front of my house which

1213
01:09:50,055 --> 01:09:53,735
Speaker 16: goes downhill. It meets the drive, which is also concrete.

1214
01:09:55,615 --> 01:09:59,375
Speaker 16: And he wrenched that pipe and put he had to

1215
01:09:59,415 --> 01:10:03,255
Speaker 16: put a join on, but he split the top of

1216
01:10:03,295 --> 01:10:07,935
Speaker 16: that pipe. And when he new pipeon, he was going

1217
01:10:08,015 --> 01:10:10,335
Speaker 16: to leave, and I said, hey, you've split that pipe.

1218
01:10:11,775 --> 01:10:12,415
Speaker 13: And he said, I.

1219
01:10:12,375 --> 01:10:15,055
Speaker 16: Haven't got time to fix it now, I'll come back tomorrow.

1220
01:10:15,495 --> 01:10:17,135
Speaker 16: Well he didn't come back tomorrow.

1221
01:10:19,375 --> 01:10:20,255
Speaker 13: He left it for.

1222
01:10:22,135 --> 01:10:26,855
Speaker 16: Three to five weeks. I can't remember exactly how long now,

1223
01:10:27,055 --> 01:10:31,015
Speaker 16: but that split got bigger and bigger as the days

1224
01:10:31,055 --> 01:10:34,575
Speaker 16: went on, because I was watching it a bank up

1225
01:10:34,895 --> 01:10:38,735
Speaker 16: from the other end of the house, right along that

1226
01:10:38,975 --> 01:10:42,895
Speaker 16: path to the leaking tap, and by the time he come,

1227
01:10:43,055 --> 01:10:48,135
Speaker 16: it was running it quite a force. He didn't come.

1228
01:10:48,295 --> 01:10:52,615
Speaker 16: He sent and I got a second builder, and he

1229
01:10:52,735 --> 01:10:55,295
Speaker 16: refused to do the job because he said that farmer

1230
01:10:55,335 --> 01:11:00,095
Speaker 16: should come back and repair it. So he left didn't

1231
01:11:00,135 --> 01:11:02,735
Speaker 16: do anything about it. So that tap was running. I

1232
01:11:02,975 --> 01:11:06,175
Speaker 16: was waiting down that path to the other end. It

1233
01:11:06,455 --> 01:11:11,615
Speaker 16: was over the top of my gumbers foot so that

1234
01:11:11,935 --> 01:11:17,375
Speaker 16: water was there for that whole time, and I'm wondering

1235
01:11:19,135 --> 01:11:22,375
Speaker 16: whether that has what damage would that have done to

1236
01:11:22,535 --> 01:11:25,255
Speaker 16: my past. I was so worried. I climbed under the

1237
01:11:25,295 --> 01:11:27,495
Speaker 16: house one part, but I couldn't get to that boil

1238
01:11:28,215 --> 01:11:30,895
Speaker 16: alther end was dry, so I just took it that

1239
01:11:31,015 --> 01:11:33,735
Speaker 16: it wasn't coming in under the house, but it must

1240
01:11:33,775 --> 01:11:38,335
Speaker 16: have been running somewhere because that was that split pipe

1241
01:11:38,495 --> 01:11:39,175
Speaker 16: was running.

1242
01:11:38,975 --> 01:11:41,575
Speaker 2: Quite and it was the So it's the mains that

1243
01:11:41,695 --> 01:11:43,895
Speaker 2: had to split in them, and so you're getting water

1244
01:11:44,015 --> 01:11:49,175
Speaker 2: out of the mains, saturating the ground and potentially causing

1245
01:11:49,415 --> 01:11:51,655
Speaker 2: movement that's causing the split.

1246
01:11:51,815 --> 01:11:54,015
Speaker 16: That's what I finally woke up for the other night.

1247
01:11:53,935 --> 01:11:58,575
Speaker 2: And thought, look, it's not outside of the realm of

1248
01:11:58,695 --> 01:12:01,695
Speaker 2: possibility in the sense that if you get a lot

1249
01:12:01,735 --> 01:12:04,775
Speaker 2: of water in one area and it saturates the ground,

1250
01:12:04,895 --> 01:12:09,655
Speaker 2: the ground will become less stable and piles can move.

1251
01:12:10,055 --> 01:12:11,695
Speaker 2: I was talking about it with someone the other day

1252
01:12:11,735 --> 01:12:14,335
Speaker 2: exactly that you get water underneath the building and piles

1253
01:12:14,375 --> 01:12:17,175
Speaker 2: will move, and then you know, whether that's winter in

1254
01:12:17,215 --> 01:12:22,255
Speaker 2: summer or in this event, a flood event, it's possible.

1255
01:12:22,335 --> 01:12:24,815
Speaker 2: But I think from what you were describing at the beginning,

1256
01:12:24,935 --> 01:12:27,975
Speaker 2: where there was an issue with a pipe in the ceiling,

1257
01:12:28,175 --> 01:12:31,855
Speaker 2: that's more likely to have contributed to the wallpaper. And

1258
01:12:32,335 --> 01:12:35,735
Speaker 2: you know, if it's just the wallpaper that's opened up,

1259
01:12:36,255 --> 01:12:37,655
Speaker 2: you can just stick that back with a bit of

1260
01:12:37,735 --> 01:12:40,735
Speaker 2: PVA glup. But if it's the wallpapers opened up because

1261
01:12:40,775 --> 01:12:43,695
Speaker 2: the wall has started to crack, and that crack has

1262
01:12:43,735 --> 01:12:47,575
Speaker 2: occurred somewhere close to where that pile is, then yes,

1263
01:12:47,735 --> 01:12:52,175
Speaker 2: that's not an a logical conclusion. The question is, you know,

1264
01:12:52,415 --> 01:12:55,295
Speaker 2: after this much time, will the plumber come back? Will

1265
01:12:55,335 --> 01:12:58,415
Speaker 2: the plumber address it as an issue? Probably unlikely, So

1266
01:12:59,055 --> 01:13:00,935
Speaker 2: it's going to be a case of repair it and

1267
01:13:01,335 --> 01:13:04,615
Speaker 2: then just get on. I guess that's the really challenging.

1268
01:13:04,695 --> 01:13:07,855
Speaker 2: But it's always it's always sad when I hear stories

1269
01:13:07,855 --> 01:13:10,735
Speaker 2: about you know, plumbers or any trades people who don't

1270
01:13:10,775 --> 01:13:14,015
Speaker 2: do a great job. And you know, if you've made

1271
01:13:14,015 --> 01:13:16,815
Speaker 2: a mistake, just fix it right. And if you've split

1272
01:13:16,895 --> 01:13:19,975
Speaker 2: a pipe, waiting three to four weeks to come back

1273
01:13:20,015 --> 01:13:21,375
Speaker 2: and fix it, that's not great, is it?

1274
01:13:22,415 --> 01:13:22,455
Speaker 13: No?

1275
01:13:22,775 --> 01:13:26,015
Speaker 16: Because but I'm worried that am I going to have

1276
01:13:26,255 --> 01:13:28,695
Speaker 16: ongoing problems with that corner of the house.

1277
01:13:29,455 --> 01:13:29,495
Speaker 3: No.

1278
01:13:29,655 --> 01:13:31,855
Speaker 2: I think if you fix the problem, the ground will

1279
01:13:31,975 --> 01:13:35,095
Speaker 2: dry out, but there might have been some movement and

1280
01:13:35,215 --> 01:13:38,615
Speaker 2: that won't change. So if it has moved and sunk

1281
01:13:38,975 --> 01:13:42,215
Speaker 2: a little bit, the ground drying out isn't going to

1282
01:13:42,335 --> 01:13:45,295
Speaker 2: help that. So, yes, there is a possibility that the

1283
01:13:45,415 --> 01:13:51,015
Speaker 2: issue becomes you know, kind of proving causation, which is

1284
01:13:51,495 --> 01:13:55,495
Speaker 2: very difficult. It's possible, but it's not conclusive, so I'm

1285
01:13:55,535 --> 01:13:58,615
Speaker 2: not sure. You just have to keep an eye on it, basically,

1286
01:13:58,695 --> 01:14:01,855
Speaker 2: and if you needed to have some investigation done, it

1287
01:14:01,975 --> 01:14:05,135
Speaker 2: becomes a structural engineering issue, etc. It just gets really

1288
01:14:05,215 --> 01:14:09,175
Speaker 2: complicated really quickly. It's worth keeping an eye on. That's

1289
01:14:09,215 --> 01:14:11,535
Speaker 2: the best advice right now. Good luck with that, Peggy,

1290
01:14:12,015 --> 01:14:14,655
Speaker 2: your news stalk said, be it is almost bang on

1291
01:14:14,815 --> 01:14:17,295
Speaker 2: quarter to eight, remember at around eight twenty, so a

1292
01:14:17,335 --> 01:14:20,415
Speaker 2: bit earlier this morning. Red Cline Pass will be with us.

1293
01:14:20,455 --> 01:14:23,615
Speaker 2: We'll jump into the garden and then we will hand

1294
01:14:23,655 --> 01:14:26,135
Speaker 2: over to the commentary team in an hour's time at

1295
01:14:26,175 --> 01:14:30,095
Speaker 2: eight forty five, ahead of the All Blacks v. Pumas game.

1296
01:14:30,295 --> 01:14:34,055
Speaker 2: Life from Argentina will come and chat with Louise straight

1297
01:14:34,095 --> 01:14:34,655
Speaker 2: after the break.

1298
01:14:35,135 --> 01:14:39,495
Speaker 1: Matter twice god was but maybe golfete first. Fida Wolfgav

1299
01:14:39,655 --> 01:14:43,535
Speaker 1: the resident builder News Talk said, b right your new.

1300
01:14:43,495 --> 01:14:45,895
Speaker 2: Stalks SIDB eleven minutes coming up, eleven minutes away from

1301
01:14:45,975 --> 01:14:48,335
Speaker 2: eight and Louise, good morning to you.

1302
01:14:49,935 --> 01:14:50,055
Speaker 8: Hi.

1303
01:14:51,375 --> 01:14:54,215
Speaker 17: I've probably got a bit of an idiot question here.

1304
01:14:55,775 --> 01:15:00,935
Speaker 17: I have a car port and it has kind of

1305
01:15:01,095 --> 01:15:03,615
Speaker 17: like a brick, well it isn't kind of. It is

1306
01:15:03,655 --> 01:15:09,815
Speaker 17: a brick all around it, and it's starting to develop

1307
01:15:10,215 --> 01:15:13,495
Speaker 17: maybe leech a bit of white powdery stuff out of

1308
01:15:13,575 --> 01:15:17,175
Speaker 17: the bricks. Yes, And I just wondered I need to

1309
01:15:17,335 --> 01:15:19,895
Speaker 17: do anything about it, like is it something to be

1310
01:15:20,015 --> 01:15:23,175
Speaker 17: worried about, or do I just crush it off? Or

1311
01:15:23,615 --> 01:15:25,295
Speaker 17: can I just didn't happen?

1312
01:15:25,655 --> 01:15:27,815
Speaker 2: Now that you're talking about it being a cardboard, is

1313
01:15:27,895 --> 01:15:30,535
Speaker 2: it a block wall or a brick wall? So when

1314
01:15:30,575 --> 01:15:32,295
Speaker 2: you look at it, if it's a block wall, the

1315
01:15:32,335 --> 01:15:35,695
Speaker 2: blocks are about four hundred long two hundred high and

1316
01:15:35,815 --> 01:15:40,255
Speaker 2: a light gray color or is it actually no, it's bricks.

1317
01:15:40,735 --> 01:15:45,935
Speaker 17: Bricks yep. And it would have been built in the

1318
01:15:46,015 --> 01:15:48,855
Speaker 17: late sixties yep. Yeah.

1319
01:15:49,135 --> 01:15:52,815
Speaker 2: So and that white powder is coming out of the

1320
01:15:52,895 --> 01:15:54,415
Speaker 2: bricks themselves.

1321
01:15:54,735 --> 01:15:58,015
Speaker 17: Yeah yeah, yeah, Okay, And suddenly enough I thought it's

1322
01:15:58,215 --> 01:16:00,735
Speaker 17: probably that age of the bricks. But then I went

1323
01:16:00,855 --> 01:16:03,375
Speaker 17: to see a client this week who's in the new

1324
01:16:03,535 --> 01:16:07,775
Speaker 17: build of apartment blocks, and red bricks are doing exactly.

1325
01:16:08,695 --> 01:16:13,335
Speaker 2: Yeah. So what it is is it's efflorescence. Right, So

1326
01:16:13,455 --> 01:16:18,495
Speaker 2: it's salt, and salt is often part of masonry because

1327
01:16:18,575 --> 01:16:23,655
Speaker 2: we collect sand from the beach, right, and so sand,

1328
01:16:24,335 --> 01:16:27,695
Speaker 2: beach salt, water salt is in the sand. It should

1329
01:16:27,735 --> 01:16:31,055
Speaker 2: be thoroughly washed before it's used in manufacture. But it

1330
01:16:31,175 --> 01:16:33,655
Speaker 2: seems like you know, in some cases, there's still a

1331
01:16:33,735 --> 01:16:36,495
Speaker 2: bit of salt in there, right, and it's that salt

1332
01:16:36,735 --> 01:16:40,975
Speaker 2: that when it gets reactivated by moisture and migrates to

1333
01:16:41,095 --> 01:16:46,175
Speaker 2: the outside, so it's efforescence. It's a salt. There are

1334
01:16:46,335 --> 01:16:48,895
Speaker 2: some products that you can use that will help dissolve

1335
01:16:48,935 --> 01:16:50,855
Speaker 2: it and clean it off. So if you just search

1336
01:16:50,975 --> 01:16:54,455
Speaker 2: for concrete cleaning efforescence something like that, you'll find some

1337
01:16:54,535 --> 01:16:57,575
Speaker 2: products there are now. Thankfully it used to be basically

1338
01:16:57,695 --> 01:17:00,855
Speaker 2: acid based. A lot of the products are now not

1339
01:17:01,135 --> 01:17:04,535
Speaker 2: acid based, which is an advantage. You can clean it off.

1340
01:17:04,775 --> 01:17:06,815
Speaker 2: There might be a little bit of it coming back,

1341
01:17:08,175 --> 01:17:10,215
Speaker 2: but you could clean that off again and eventually it

1342
01:17:10,295 --> 01:17:14,415
Speaker 2: will it will stop. The other question though, is what

1343
01:17:14,935 --> 01:17:18,215
Speaker 2: how is the moisture getting into the wall? So what

1344
01:17:18,575 --> 01:17:21,855
Speaker 2: you're seeing is behind the bricks that you're seeing, is

1345
01:17:21,975 --> 01:17:26,375
Speaker 2: that like the rest of the building, is it exposed

1346
01:17:26,415 --> 01:17:28,895
Speaker 2: to the elements on the outside, Like where is that

1347
01:17:29,055 --> 01:17:30,495
Speaker 2: moisture coming from? Is the question?

1348
01:17:32,375 --> 01:17:32,575
Speaker 9: Well?

1349
01:17:34,255 --> 01:17:39,215
Speaker 17: Probably twofold So definitely the weather, because like it's that's

1350
01:17:39,375 --> 01:17:42,615
Speaker 17: where you know, all the rain that we've had. That's

1351
01:17:42,775 --> 01:17:47,375
Speaker 17: definitely where it's sure it gets wet, but also there's

1352
01:17:47,535 --> 01:17:54,615
Speaker 17: a down pipe from the So it's a car port

1353
01:17:55,055 --> 01:18:02,415
Speaker 17: and there's spouting along the cap. Yes, and there's definitely

1354
01:18:02,695 --> 01:18:04,615
Speaker 17: a down pipe thing there.

1355
01:18:05,535 --> 01:18:07,255
Speaker 8: Okay, Yeah, so.

1356
01:18:09,935 --> 01:18:12,775
Speaker 17: To say just wipe it with this and that will

1357
01:18:12,815 --> 01:18:13,295
Speaker 17: be fine.

1358
01:18:14,375 --> 01:18:17,535
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, look, someone steps through this is I haven't

1359
01:18:17,615 --> 01:18:22,495
Speaker 2: tried this, but apparently baking soda and water. Right, so

1360
01:18:22,815 --> 01:18:25,335
Speaker 2: in the same way that if I if I burn

1361
01:18:25,415 --> 01:18:27,375
Speaker 2: the pan, I put a bit of baking soda in

1362
01:18:27,455 --> 01:18:31,735
Speaker 2: there and leave it overnight. Yeah, you know that will work.

1363
01:18:31,815 --> 01:18:34,975
Speaker 2: There are some chemical treatments, there are some industrial treatments.

1364
01:18:37,855 --> 01:18:40,415
Speaker 2: Someone suggested that, you know, once you sort of cured it,

1365
01:18:40,535 --> 01:18:44,135
Speaker 2: you could seal the block work as well, but that

1366
01:18:44,335 --> 01:18:48,735
Speaker 2: that would mean sealing all of the exterior brickwork of building.

1367
01:18:49,735 --> 01:18:51,975
Speaker 17: And it's only in one particular area.

1368
01:18:52,215 --> 01:18:52,415
Speaker 11: Yeah.

1369
01:18:52,775 --> 01:18:55,375
Speaker 2: Look, I think treat it to remove it and then

1370
01:18:55,655 --> 01:18:57,735
Speaker 2: a little bit of it might come back, but it

1371
01:18:57,815 --> 01:18:58,415
Speaker 2: probably won't.

1372
01:19:00,055 --> 01:19:01,015
Speaker 17: Oh that's interesting.

1373
01:19:01,255 --> 01:19:04,255
Speaker 11: Okay, that's all the very best.

1374
01:19:04,575 --> 01:19:07,895
Speaker 2: Take Louise probably and Carl, good morning to you.

1375
01:19:10,895 --> 01:19:11,055
Speaker 3: Too.

1376
01:19:11,135 --> 01:19:15,935
Speaker 11: Well. Yeah, I've got a I've got wooden floors in

1377
01:19:16,015 --> 01:19:19,215
Speaker 11: my house and just by the door where the sun

1378
01:19:19,335 --> 01:19:22,855
Speaker 11: comes in, it's sort of the varnish or whatever is

1379
01:19:23,055 --> 01:19:27,535
Speaker 11: kind of wearing offs, you know, I mean, what do

1380
01:19:27,655 --> 01:19:29,535
Speaker 11: I need to do to maintainer? Do I need to

1381
01:19:30,335 --> 01:19:33,415
Speaker 11: revanish it or send it down or what do I do?

1382
01:19:34,615 --> 01:19:36,975
Speaker 2: I mean, look varnishes or you know, any sort of

1383
01:19:37,015 --> 01:19:39,615
Speaker 2: polyurethane that we tend to put on our Presume it's

1384
01:19:39,695 --> 01:19:43,175
Speaker 2: it's natural timber floor. Right, So it's a remo or

1385
01:19:43,175 --> 01:19:46,935
Speaker 2: a matti or car or something like that. Right, those

1386
01:19:47,215 --> 01:19:51,295
Speaker 2: those surfaces, I guess have a lifespan. At a certain

1387
01:19:51,335 --> 01:19:55,535
Speaker 2: point it will start to decay in an area like

1388
01:19:55,615 --> 01:19:58,815
Speaker 2: that near a front door. Possibly it gets exposure to sunlight,

1389
01:19:59,015 --> 01:20:01,615
Speaker 2: also wet feet, that sort of thing that that tends

1390
01:20:01,655 --> 01:20:05,615
Speaker 2: to accelerate it. Most of the time, what's involved is

1391
01:20:05,655 --> 01:20:08,055
Speaker 2: actually seen the floor back to be a timber and

1392
01:20:08,135 --> 01:20:11,855
Speaker 2: then re polyurethaning. But you can only do that once

1393
01:20:12,015 --> 01:20:18,335
Speaker 2: or twice. The really challenging thing. And funnily enough, I

1394
01:20:18,455 --> 01:20:22,015
Speaker 2: was doing this on Thursday, right, I pulled out a

1395
01:20:22,295 --> 01:20:26,055
Speaker 2: toilet that was sitting on a cowry timber floor, and

1396
01:20:26,255 --> 01:20:29,295
Speaker 2: the new toilet was going to have a slightly smaller

1397
01:20:29,375 --> 01:20:34,695
Speaker 2: footprint than the existing one, and so where there would

1398
01:20:34,695 --> 01:20:38,815
Speaker 2: be a bit of exposed timber left. In fact, it

1399
01:20:38,935 --> 01:20:41,775
Speaker 2: wasn't even exposed. It was from the original renovation side

1400
01:20:41,815 --> 01:20:45,575
Speaker 2: of being polyurethane, so it samed that polyurethane off and

1401
01:20:45,735 --> 01:20:49,135
Speaker 2: then try and blend in some new polyurethane to match

1402
01:20:49,695 --> 01:20:53,935
Speaker 2: the blonded floor that had been done. Not a lot

1403
01:20:53,975 --> 01:20:59,135
Speaker 2: of success to be fair, right, Well, it's really difficult.

1404
01:20:59,255 --> 01:21:05,855
Speaker 2: Like typically you don't put polyurethane over polyurethane because they

1405
01:21:05,895 --> 01:21:09,655
Speaker 2: don't right or if they do bond, you're still reliant

1406
01:21:09,735 --> 01:21:12,255
Speaker 2: on the first coat not letting go. So typically the

1407
01:21:12,295 --> 01:21:14,495
Speaker 2: approaches I'm going to send that off, but if it's

1408
01:21:14,575 --> 01:21:18,295
Speaker 2: only let's say at the front door, then you're going

1409
01:21:18,375 --> 01:21:23,215
Speaker 2: to have a join at a certain stage. This is

1410
01:21:23,335 --> 01:21:26,935
Speaker 2: just these things have a lifespan, right, and so it's

1411
01:21:27,095 --> 01:21:31,735
Speaker 2: serviceability over time which is the issue. What I could

1412
01:21:31,775 --> 01:21:35,695
Speaker 2: suggest is is phone around a couple of floor sanders

1413
01:21:35,815 --> 01:21:38,815
Speaker 2: in your area and get someone who's proficient with it

1414
01:21:38,895 --> 01:21:41,175
Speaker 2: to come out and gives you some advice. You could

1415
01:21:41,295 --> 01:21:45,255
Speaker 2: go to maybe a supplier of polyurethanes to see whether

1416
01:21:45,335 --> 01:21:47,815
Speaker 2: they've got a solution. So in Auckland, for example, it's

1417
01:21:47,895 --> 01:21:51,815
Speaker 2: Handley's do a lot of polyurethane supply for floor sanders.

1418
01:21:52,695 --> 01:21:55,855
Speaker 2: I rang my mate Phil from freedom flooring to go, hey,

1419
01:21:55,935 --> 01:21:58,695
Speaker 2: what can I do? And he kind of stepped me

1420
01:21:58,775 --> 01:22:03,415
Speaker 2: through it. Look it looks okay, it's not perfect, but

1421
01:22:03,855 --> 01:22:06,695
Speaker 2: what I've done worked Okay, So I send it back,

1422
01:22:07,855 --> 01:22:10,175
Speaker 2: made up a little bit of blonding myself, and then

1423
01:22:10,255 --> 01:22:14,335
Speaker 2: put it in there. Oh yeah, but if it's an

1424
01:22:14,375 --> 01:22:16,255
Speaker 2: area in front of there, you could just mask it

1425
01:22:16,335 --> 01:22:18,775
Speaker 2: off and have that area send it and redone. But

1426
01:22:18,935 --> 01:22:20,535
Speaker 2: typically you try the floor.

1427
01:22:21,055 --> 01:22:23,255
Speaker 11: Yeah, but little pictures.

1428
01:22:23,535 --> 01:22:28,375
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a bit challenging because you know, obviously blending

1429
01:22:28,455 --> 01:22:31,375
Speaker 2: it in is kind of hard. But look, if you've

1430
01:22:31,415 --> 01:22:33,655
Speaker 2: got some contacts, reach out to a floor standing guy

1431
01:22:33,775 --> 01:22:35,095
Speaker 2: and see if they can come and have a look

1432
01:22:35,255 --> 01:22:37,895
Speaker 2: at at it and give you some professional advice on

1433
01:22:38,015 --> 01:22:41,335
Speaker 2: that that it might be a whole restrip and start again.

1434
01:22:42,015 --> 01:22:44,895
Speaker 2: Thanks for your call, Carl. We will continue with your

1435
01:22:44,975 --> 01:22:47,855
Speaker 2: calls briefly after the break. News at eight is now.

1436
01:22:50,295 --> 01:22:52,775
Speaker 1: Doing up the house, storting the garden, asks Pete for

1437
01:22:52,855 --> 01:22:58,415
Speaker 1: a hand. The resident builder with Peter Wolfcab calls dogs.

1438
01:22:59,575 --> 01:23:03,415
Speaker 2: Yeah, News talks, Welcome back to the show. Slightly truncated

1439
01:23:03,495 --> 01:23:06,815
Speaker 2: today because of course there is nuts anticipation. Head of

1440
01:23:07,455 --> 01:23:13,095
Speaker 2: the All Blacks versus Lost Bomas versus Australia Argentina kickoff

1441
01:23:13,295 --> 01:23:17,135
Speaker 2: just after nine o'clock. We will start coverage here at

1442
01:23:17,175 --> 01:23:20,975
Speaker 2: Newstalk SEDB from eight forty five this morning, so the

1443
01:23:21,055 --> 01:23:27,055
Speaker 2: Root will be along shortly and then we will jump

1444
01:23:27,135 --> 01:23:29,535
Speaker 2: into the garden with Root from about eight twenty this morning.

1445
01:23:29,815 --> 01:23:32,095
Speaker 2: Still got time for a couple of building questions. If

1446
01:23:32,095 --> 01:23:34,175
Speaker 2: you'd like to fire them through, you can call me

1447
01:23:34,335 --> 01:23:38,855
Speaker 2: right now on eight hundred and eighty ten eighty actually

1448
01:23:39,215 --> 01:23:43,575
Speaker 2: just quickly. I went along to the New Zealand Green

1449
01:23:43,735 --> 01:23:49,855
Speaker 2: Building Council Property Summit twenty twenty five earlier this week,

1450
01:23:50,815 --> 01:23:55,135
Speaker 2: which was awesome to be fair, and this is you know,

1451
01:23:55,495 --> 01:23:57,815
Speaker 2: I mean there's there's people who are presenting who have

1452
01:23:58,575 --> 01:24:01,935
Speaker 2: represent property portfolios that are worth two billion dollars. So

1453
01:24:02,495 --> 01:24:07,015
Speaker 2: there's there's some fairly heavy hitters there, these sort of

1454
01:24:07,095 --> 01:24:12,895
Speaker 2: property managers, property owning companies that have vast developments. And

1455
01:24:13,015 --> 01:24:15,615
Speaker 2: what's interesting is they're there at a green property summit,

1456
01:24:15,735 --> 01:24:18,615
Speaker 2: right So they're there because they want their buildings to

1457
01:24:18,775 --> 01:24:22,015
Speaker 2: be more energy efficient, they want their buildings to be

1458
01:24:22,215 --> 01:24:24,415
Speaker 2: better for the environment, they want their buildings to be

1459
01:24:24,495 --> 01:24:27,375
Speaker 2: better for the people that occupy them. And then there

1460
01:24:27,455 --> 01:24:30,295
Speaker 2: was a number of experts who are presenting on You know,

1461
01:24:30,415 --> 01:24:33,295
Speaker 2: for example, glenn Brook Steel Mill is putting in an

1462
01:24:33,375 --> 01:24:36,855
Speaker 2: electric arc furnace. Now that's going to be a significant

1463
01:24:36,935 --> 01:24:40,975
Speaker 2: change to how we make steel in New Zealand because suddenly,

1464
01:24:41,095 --> 01:24:44,095
Speaker 2: instead of a lot of carbon heavy products, we're going

1465
01:24:44,175 --> 01:24:46,655
Speaker 2: to be able to use electricity as part of that process.

1466
01:24:47,695 --> 01:24:50,295
Speaker 2: So there was lots of really technical stuff in there. Well,

1467
01:24:50,295 --> 01:24:53,975
Speaker 2: I tell you what. The thing that ne're listening to

1468
01:24:54,055 --> 01:24:57,495
Speaker 2: the presenters chatting with people, talk to a couple of

1469
01:24:57,495 --> 01:25:00,455
Speaker 2: people who have been on this program, for example, over

1470
01:25:00,495 --> 01:25:05,295
Speaker 2: the years, and my takeaway was, and I think this

1471
01:25:05,495 --> 01:25:09,135
Speaker 2: is a tremendous success for the Green Building Council New

1472
01:25:09,215 --> 01:25:12,055
Speaker 2: Zealand Green Building Council and the people that work there

1473
01:25:12,895 --> 01:25:17,215
Speaker 2: and the Elite leader Chief Executive Andrew Eagles, is that

1474
01:25:17,455 --> 01:25:22,175
Speaker 2: they have managed to make green buildings simply good buildings.

1475
01:25:22,855 --> 01:25:24,855
Speaker 2: So when people are talking about I'm going to get

1476
01:25:24,975 --> 01:25:29,375
Speaker 2: a Green Star rating for my office complex here in town,

1477
01:25:29,655 --> 01:25:32,655
Speaker 2: or my warehouses which can now be eligible for Green

1478
01:25:32,735 --> 01:25:35,735
Speaker 2: Star ratings as well, it's simply because they know in

1479
01:25:35,855 --> 01:25:38,775
Speaker 2: the end they're going to be just better buildings. So

1480
01:25:39,815 --> 01:25:43,935
Speaker 2: I've been involved with us for ten twelve thirteen years

1481
01:25:44,055 --> 01:25:46,295
Speaker 2: or thereabout. So did the Home Star course way back then,

1482
01:25:47,655 --> 01:25:49,695
Speaker 2: and then it was all about sort of green being

1483
01:25:49,815 --> 01:25:52,735
Speaker 2: a kind of political or a social movement and so on,

1484
01:25:52,895 --> 01:25:55,615
Speaker 2: Whereas I think what's really really interesting now is that

1485
01:25:55,735 --> 01:25:59,695
Speaker 2: green buildings are simply better buildings. It's as simple as that.

1486
01:26:00,415 --> 01:26:02,375
Speaker 2: You want a really good building that doesn't cost your

1487
01:26:02,455 --> 01:26:05,895
Speaker 2: fortune to heat or to call that's a healthier environment

1488
01:26:05,935 --> 01:26:07,975
Speaker 2: for people to live in. You're going to have a

1489
01:26:08,055 --> 01:26:11,335
Speaker 2: green building. And from commercial point of view, it seems

1490
01:26:11,375 --> 01:26:14,135
Speaker 2: that they are very very attractive to corporates who are

1491
01:26:14,175 --> 01:26:16,335
Speaker 2: looking for what's the best place for my people to

1492
01:26:16,415 --> 01:26:18,215
Speaker 2: work in. I'm going to get a green building, So

1493
01:26:19,015 --> 01:26:21,415
Speaker 2: hats off to the Green Building Council for being part

1494
01:26:21,455 --> 01:26:23,695
Speaker 2: of that movement. I thought it was a great day,

1495
01:26:23,735 --> 01:26:26,655
Speaker 2: actually really enjoy it. Lots of people, lots of passion,

1496
01:26:27,895 --> 01:26:32,495
Speaker 2: and phenomenal level of detail from the experts that were

1497
01:26:32,535 --> 01:26:34,935
Speaker 2: presenting too, So it was a great day. Rdio ten

1498
01:26:34,975 --> 01:26:36,935
Speaker 2: minutes after eight. You've got a couple of minutes if

1499
01:26:36,975 --> 01:26:39,055
Speaker 2: you'd like to jump in and ask a question before

1500
01:26:39,095 --> 01:26:42,215
Speaker 2: we change gear and get into the garden with Redcline past.

1501
01:26:42,655 --> 01:26:46,215
Speaker 2: Here's a great text we are doing alterations to a batch.

1502
01:26:46,695 --> 01:26:49,975
Speaker 2: I've lined the raking ceiling with standard ply. It's unpainted

1503
01:26:50,015 --> 01:26:51,535
Speaker 2: and we haven't been back for a couple of weeks,

1504
01:26:51,575 --> 01:26:54,535
Speaker 2: so it's been shut up as in the building's been

1505
01:26:54,575 --> 01:26:58,575
Speaker 2: closed in. I've noticed that there's mold starting to appear

1506
01:26:58,655 --> 01:27:01,575
Speaker 2: on parts, which I assume is from the moisture that's

1507
01:27:01,615 --> 01:27:03,775
Speaker 2: trapped in the room as we're unable to leave the

1508
01:27:03,815 --> 01:27:06,935
Speaker 2: windows open the rooms about six by seven. What's the

1509
01:27:07,055 --> 01:27:08,975
Speaker 2: best way to get rid of it? And should we

1510
01:27:09,135 --> 01:27:13,655
Speaker 2: be worried, we will paint it soon. There's two parts

1511
01:27:13,695 --> 01:27:15,455
Speaker 2: of that. There's the practical part of what do I

1512
01:27:15,575 --> 01:27:18,295
Speaker 2: do now that there's some mold growth on the ceiling.

1513
01:27:18,735 --> 01:27:21,895
Speaker 2: The other part of it is this is a perfect

1514
01:27:22,055 --> 01:27:28,815
Speaker 2: example of many of the concerns being raised about. We've

1515
01:27:28,895 --> 01:27:33,015
Speaker 2: got one part of the building envelope working properly in

1516
01:27:33,135 --> 01:27:35,655
Speaker 2: terms of air tightness, but we haven't got the other

1517
01:27:35,775 --> 01:27:38,975
Speaker 2: part of building science, the other balance to that, which

1518
01:27:39,055 --> 01:27:42,495
Speaker 2: is ventilation. And so this is a perfect example of

1519
01:27:42,535 --> 01:27:47,895
Speaker 2: what happens when buildings aren't able to be ventilated. The

1520
01:27:48,135 --> 01:27:51,135
Speaker 2: moisture will be there, the warmth will be there, and

1521
01:27:51,255 --> 01:27:54,335
Speaker 2: the combination of the truth too will promote mold growth.

1522
01:27:56,535 --> 01:27:58,855
Speaker 2: So no constellation to you, but thank you for that

1523
01:27:59,055 --> 01:28:03,695
Speaker 2: science experiment indicating what happens when we have moisture. Because

1524
01:28:03,695 --> 01:28:06,935
Speaker 2: it's new building products, right, they all contain moisture some degree.

1525
01:28:07,695 --> 01:28:11,335
Speaker 2: The framing will have moisture in it, the lining possibly

1526
01:28:11,375 --> 01:28:15,135
Speaker 2: will have moisture in it, and then you've closed that

1527
01:28:15,215 --> 01:28:17,295
Speaker 2: space up and so you've trapped all of that moisture

1528
01:28:17,335 --> 01:28:20,135
Speaker 2: and don't have the ventilation. So practical thing would be

1529
01:28:20,855 --> 01:28:22,735
Speaker 2: you're going to have to come back there. You're going

1530
01:28:22,815 --> 01:28:24,695
Speaker 2: to have to ventilate that space. You're gonna have to

1531
01:28:24,735 --> 01:28:26,895
Speaker 2: get the moisture content down, and then you're going to

1532
01:28:26,935 --> 01:28:31,335
Speaker 2: have to treat that plywood with something that will remove

1533
01:28:31,495 --> 01:28:35,495
Speaker 2: that mold and let it thoroughly dry out before if

1534
01:28:35,575 --> 01:28:37,415
Speaker 2: you're going to paint it, I'm presuming going to use

1535
01:28:37,495 --> 01:28:41,815
Speaker 2: like a flat paint on there, do the primer. If

1536
01:28:41,855 --> 01:28:45,335
Speaker 2: it's tongue and groove for example, it might be treated,

1537
01:28:45,375 --> 01:28:47,495
Speaker 2: in which case you probably need to use an oil

1538
01:28:47,535 --> 01:28:51,055
Speaker 2: based primer or a stain blocking primer and then paint.

1539
01:28:51,135 --> 01:28:53,575
Speaker 2: But it's going to be key to test the moisture

1540
01:28:53,615 --> 01:28:57,535
Speaker 2: content to make sure that you're down around seventeen eighteen

1541
01:28:57,615 --> 01:29:01,135
Speaker 2: degrees moisture content in that space before you start painting

1542
01:29:01,255 --> 01:29:04,255
Speaker 2: and treat that mold. But a fantastic example of what

1543
01:29:04,375 --> 01:29:07,455
Speaker 2: happens when we don't ventilate our bil things properly. Another

1544
01:29:07,535 --> 01:29:10,735
Speaker 2: quick one just before the break as well, just repairing

1545
01:29:10,775 --> 01:29:14,415
Speaker 2: a badly split window sill. What's the best glue and

1546
01:29:14,815 --> 01:29:19,455
Speaker 2: filler to fix and seal blue screw and builder's bog

1547
01:29:19,535 --> 01:29:23,175
Speaker 2: then paint. I would suggest Greg that if you can

1548
01:29:23,215 --> 01:29:26,295
Speaker 2: get like what was I using the other day, I

1549
01:29:26,415 --> 01:29:30,575
Speaker 2: think it's epiglass builder's glue, so a two part blue,

1550
01:29:31,655 --> 01:29:34,735
Speaker 2: mix it up, pop that into there, so increase the

1551
01:29:34,775 --> 01:29:37,295
Speaker 2: split a little bit, open it up, either clamp it

1552
01:29:37,535 --> 01:29:41,775
Speaker 2: or screw it together. And then increasingly I've been using

1553
01:29:41,855 --> 01:29:44,975
Speaker 2: this Epo Tech filler, which you'll have to go online

1554
01:29:45,055 --> 01:29:50,975
Speaker 2: to find a local distributor, so ep O Tec Epo Tech. Again,

1555
01:29:51,055 --> 01:29:55,095
Speaker 2: it's a two pot one. It takes twelve hours to cure,

1556
01:29:55,655 --> 01:29:58,935
Speaker 2: so it's a chemical reaction for it to cure. I

1557
01:29:59,055 --> 01:30:01,335
Speaker 2: found it really easy to sand when I've painted it.

1558
01:30:01,495 --> 01:30:06,215
Speaker 2: It actually takes paint really well, and that would be

1559
01:30:06,495 --> 01:30:10,015
Speaker 2: my approach. So a two pot adhesive and then a

1560
01:30:10,095 --> 01:30:13,815
Speaker 2: two pot filler as well, oh, eight hundred eighty ten

1561
01:30:13,895 --> 01:30:16,175
Speaker 2: eighty might have time for your calls, and then we're

Speaker 2: said B Radio Your news Talk said B. We're going

1587
01:31:40,495 --> 01:31:42,815
Speaker 2: to jump into the garden and just a moment with

1588
01:31:43,655 --> 01:31:48,135
Speaker 2: climb past. Couple of other texts have come through as well.

1589
01:31:49,855 --> 01:31:52,455
Speaker 2: Now this is a fairly serious one, I think, Wendy

1590
01:31:54,375 --> 01:31:55,335
Speaker 2: hopefully still listening.

1591
01:31:55,695 --> 01:31:55,935
Speaker 11: Pete.

1592
01:31:55,975 --> 01:31:58,895
Speaker 2: I recently bought an older house that's been rewired, including

1593
01:31:59,135 --> 01:32:02,735
Speaker 2: undergrounding from the road. I now understand that this should

1594
01:32:02,855 --> 01:32:07,375
Speaker 2: have a certificate of compliance as COC it does. I

1595
01:32:07,455 --> 01:32:09,855
Speaker 2: believe the real estate agent should have known this and

1596
01:32:09,975 --> 01:32:12,575
Speaker 2: declared that it didn't. Could I go back to the

1597
01:32:12,655 --> 01:32:15,295
Speaker 2: agent and get them or the seller to rectify this.

1598
01:32:16,295 --> 01:32:20,535
Speaker 2: When you say recently bought, I presume that's sometime in

1599
01:32:20,655 --> 01:32:28,095
Speaker 2: the last couple of years. Would should the real estate

1600
01:32:28,135 --> 01:32:30,815
Speaker 2: agent have known only if they were informed by the

1601
01:32:31,135 --> 01:32:34,935
Speaker 2: owner by the vendor right either way. I mean, I

1602
01:32:35,095 --> 01:32:36,935
Speaker 2: find it hard to believe that there's not a paper

1603
01:32:37,015 --> 01:32:39,735
Speaker 2: trail for the undergrounding of power because in the end,

1604
01:32:40,295 --> 01:32:46,335
Speaker 2: while a electrician could do the trenching, put the conduit in,

1605
01:32:46,775 --> 01:32:49,215
Speaker 2: maybe even put the mains, they can't connect to the

1606
01:32:49,295 --> 01:32:53,575
Speaker 2: pole right, and they they need to get that signed

1607
01:32:53,615 --> 01:32:58,015
Speaker 2: off by since the power company. Right, they'll send out

1608
01:32:58,015 --> 01:33:00,455
Speaker 2: an inspector. So there should be a paper trail for that.

1609
01:33:00,935 --> 01:33:05,415
Speaker 2: But certainly any electrical work should have a certificate of

1610
01:33:05,655 --> 01:33:12,975
Speaker 2: compliance without a doubt. So yes, you could go back

1611
01:33:13,015 --> 01:33:14,495
Speaker 2: to the cellar and say, hey, look do you have

1612
01:33:14,615 --> 01:33:17,015
Speaker 2: the paperwork to support the work that's been done, if

1613
01:33:17,055 --> 01:33:23,175
Speaker 2: that work was done recently. Again, last year sometime I

1614
01:33:23,295 --> 01:33:27,415
Speaker 2: was involved with a project where overhead lines were being

1615
01:33:27,495 --> 01:33:29,695
Speaker 2: removed and so they had underground to a property that

1616
01:33:29,775 --> 01:33:32,295
Speaker 2: I'd done some work on, and I was able to

1617
01:33:32,375 --> 01:33:34,935
Speaker 2: talk to the contractors about how they were going to

1618
01:33:35,055 --> 01:33:38,095
Speaker 2: get onto the property, which what was the pathway for

1619
01:33:38,255 --> 01:33:41,415
Speaker 2: the underground cable, how they were going to get the

1620
01:33:41,535 --> 01:33:44,975
Speaker 2: new cable which previously had been overhead to come up

1621
01:33:45,095 --> 01:33:47,575
Speaker 2: and into the distribution or to the meter box on

1622
01:33:47,615 --> 01:33:49,495
Speaker 2: the outside of the building, and at the end of

1623
01:33:49,535 --> 01:33:52,175
Speaker 2: that they sent me through the paperwork to say who

1624
01:33:52,255 --> 01:33:54,295
Speaker 2: had done it, who'd inspected it, and it was kind

1625
01:33:54,295 --> 01:33:56,935
Speaker 2: of double checked by two different inspectors because obviously it's

1626
01:33:57,175 --> 01:34:00,655
Speaker 2: incredibly high risk work putting in a new Maine so yes,

1627
01:34:00,815 --> 01:34:03,375
Speaker 2: there should be paperwork for that, RIGHTO, We're going to

1628
01:34:03,415 --> 01:34:05,175
Speaker 2: take a short break, then we're going to jump into

1629
01:34:05,255 --> 01:34:08,695
Speaker 2: the garden. Ad pass with us through till eight forty five,

1630
01:34:08,735 --> 01:34:12,975
Speaker 2: when we'll hand over to our sports team. Cool, squeaky

1631
01:34:13,015 --> 01:34:14,655
Speaker 2: door or squeaky floor.
