It's all 23 00:01:59,335 --> 00:02:02,375 Speaker 3: about construction. It's all about the rules and the regulation, 24 00:02:02,655 --> 00:02:05,495 Speaker 3: it's all about the products. It's maybe all about the 25 00:02:05,495 --> 00:02:09,055 Speaker 3: people that actually do the work. Now, whether that's you 26 00:02:09,655 --> 00:02:12,175 Speaker 3: or someone that you've contracted to come and do work. 27 00:02:12,175 --> 00:02:15,295 Speaker 3: We can talk about I guess, quality issues, and contract 28 00:02:15,375 --> 00:02:18,575 Speaker 3: issues and payment issues as well. We can talk about 29 00:02:18,575 --> 00:02:22,455 Speaker 3: the practical, the which bit goes with which bit and 30 00:02:22,575 --> 00:02:27,015 Speaker 3: in which order, So selecting the right materials and then 31 00:02:27,175 --> 00:02:31,495 Speaker 3: undertaking the task in the correct manner. You know, there's 32 00:02:31,535 --> 00:02:34,335 Speaker 3: a sequence to most jobs. This is where you start, 33 00:02:34,375 --> 00:02:35,815 Speaker 3: this is what you have to do in the middle, 34 00:02:36,055 --> 00:02:38,135 Speaker 3: and this is how you finish it. So making sure 35 00:02:38,135 --> 00:02:41,535 Speaker 3: that you've got that order sort of lined up alongside 36 00:02:41,575 --> 00:02:45,455 Speaker 3: the correct products and methods at the time produces the 37 00:02:45,535 --> 00:02:48,535 Speaker 3: right outcome every now and then, when you talk to 38 00:02:48,535 --> 00:02:52,295 Speaker 3: people that investigate failures, it's a sort of well, actually 39 00:02:52,335 --> 00:02:55,375 Speaker 3: they left out that step and therefore the paint doesn't 40 00:02:55,415 --> 00:02:59,215 Speaker 3: stick because they didn't clean the wall, or the material 41 00:02:59,255 --> 00:03:02,295 Speaker 3: has moved because they haven't allowed it to settle for 42 00:03:02,375 --> 00:03:04,775 Speaker 3: a period of time, these sorts of things. So it's often, 43 00:03:05,335 --> 00:03:08,535 Speaker 3: I guess the interesting part to building is that it's 44 00:03:08,575 --> 00:03:11,775 Speaker 3: never just one thing. It's typically a combination of them 45 00:03:12,215 --> 00:03:16,455 Speaker 3: done in an order that produces the right outcome. So yeah, 46 00:03:16,495 --> 00:03:18,535 Speaker 3: I'd be interested to talk with you about all of 47 00:03:18,575 --> 00:03:22,135 Speaker 3: those sorts of things on the program this morning right 48 00:03:22,215 --> 00:03:25,135 Speaker 3: through till just trying to think now we've got no 49 00:03:25,175 --> 00:03:27,575 Speaker 3: interviews lined up today, we'll get a bit of a 50 00:03:27,655 --> 00:03:31,415 Speaker 3: chat with Mike Oltz from Razine Construction, and typically we 51 00:03:31,455 --> 00:03:34,335 Speaker 3: talked to Mike about some technical issues, whether it's about 52 00:03:34,375 --> 00:03:38,855 Speaker 3: the Integra cladding or whether it's about the X the policy, 53 00:03:39,015 --> 00:03:42,655 Speaker 3: the insulation or flashing systems, and that we're going to 54 00:03:42,855 --> 00:03:45,975 Speaker 3: put that aside just for a moment today and talk 55 00:03:45,975 --> 00:03:48,855 Speaker 3: about the fact that Razine Construction used to be rock 56 00:03:48,895 --> 00:03:54,415 Speaker 3: Coat celebrates forty years in business and that's worth celebrating 57 00:03:54,415 --> 00:03:56,895 Speaker 3: in New zealand certainly worth celebrating when and I don't 58 00:03:56,935 --> 00:04:00,495 Speaker 3: mean to be terribly negative, but I seem to continually 59 00:04:00,535 --> 00:04:04,415 Speaker 3: get emails from auction houses and so on going and 60 00:04:04,975 --> 00:04:08,215 Speaker 3: part of what they're doing disperse the actions at liquidation, 61 00:04:08,415 --> 00:04:10,775 Speaker 3: receivership and so on, and you kind of look at 62 00:04:10,815 --> 00:04:12,855 Speaker 3: that and go. Business is tough at the moment, So 63 00:04:13,015 --> 00:04:14,695 Speaker 3: I think when we've got a story that we can 64 00:04:14,735 --> 00:04:17,575 Speaker 3: celebrate forty years in business, we will do absolutely that 65 00:04:17,695 --> 00:04:19,175 Speaker 3: on the show this morning. So we'll have a bit 66 00:04:19,175 --> 00:04:22,735 Speaker 3: of a chat with Mike olds chat with a guy 67 00:04:23,055 --> 00:04:25,375 Speaker 3: who does tiny homes as well, And in fact it 68 00:04:25,495 --> 00:04:28,135 Speaker 3: was one of the things. Actually they're not really tiny homes, 69 00:04:28,135 --> 00:04:30,215 Speaker 3: but I went out to have a look at the 70 00:04:30,615 --> 00:04:34,375 Speaker 3: Portacom factory this week. It's just one of those things 71 00:04:34,375 --> 00:04:36,775 Speaker 3: that when I get the opportunity and I go to 72 00:04:36,815 --> 00:04:40,295 Speaker 3: different conferences and seminars and so, and you meet lots 73 00:04:40,335 --> 00:04:43,415 Speaker 3: and lots of interesting people, and then every now and 74 00:04:43,415 --> 00:04:45,335 Speaker 3: then I'll just sort of go, oh, look it's all 75 00:04:45,375 --> 00:04:47,135 Speaker 3: right with you. Can I come and swing through the 76 00:04:47,175 --> 00:04:49,255 Speaker 3: factory and have a bit of a look at how 77 00:04:49,335 --> 00:04:53,175 Speaker 3: you do what you do. And so some of the 78 00:04:53,175 --> 00:04:56,735 Speaker 3: team at Portercom reached out and said, oh, come through 79 00:04:56,775 --> 00:05:00,535 Speaker 3: the factory, let's show you around, see what we're up to. 80 00:05:00,935 --> 00:05:04,455 Speaker 3: And it's quite fascinating, this whole world of offsite manufacture. 81 00:05:04,895 --> 00:05:07,815 Speaker 3: I think most of us we'll get a slightly triggered 82 00:05:07,855 --> 00:05:10,695 Speaker 3: response when we hear the word prefab You know that 83 00:05:10,815 --> 00:05:13,375 Speaker 3: idea that something's made in a factory, it's shipped out 84 00:05:13,415 --> 00:05:16,615 Speaker 3: to site. Generally it's maath and all the rest of it. 85 00:05:16,735 --> 00:05:20,215 Speaker 3: Not anymore, I can assure you of that. So interesting 86 00:05:20,295 --> 00:05:26,855 Speaker 3: walking through the Porticom factory, seeing how they assemble all 87 00:05:26,935 --> 00:05:29,815 Speaker 3: of their components, the design that goes into it, that 88 00:05:29,895 --> 00:05:34,975 Speaker 3: whole idea of modularity, of using some non conventional products, 89 00:05:35,015 --> 00:05:37,895 Speaker 3: let's say, in order to build structures that are going 90 00:05:37,935 --> 00:05:43,975 Speaker 3: to be durable and transportable and efficient. It was so 91 00:05:44,055 --> 00:05:45,975 Speaker 3: my thanks to them. It was a nice It was 92 00:05:46,015 --> 00:05:48,935 Speaker 3: a rubbish day.

If you don't, sorry, it's 122 00:07:17,255 --> 00:07:20,735 Speaker 3: coffee there. If you don't shake all of the flu out, 123 00:07:20,855 --> 00:07:23,415 Speaker 3: then you've always got that issue around, you know. How 124 00:07:23,455 --> 00:07:27,015 Speaker 3: do I finish it off? Like does yours? Go from 125 00:07:27,095 --> 00:07:31,015 Speaker 3: the fireplace itself? Flu goes up to a flat ceiling. 126 00:07:31,135 --> 00:07:34,175 Speaker 3: Then you've got space and roof space. Okay, so you 127 00:07:34,215 --> 00:07:38,055 Speaker 3: could you could take the fire box out, You could 128 00:07:38,055 --> 00:07:39,975 Speaker 3: take out the flu that you see in the living room. 129 00:07:40,695 --> 00:07:42,695 Speaker 3: You could patch the ceiling and the jib board and 130 00:07:42,735 --> 00:07:47,535 Speaker 3: then leave the flu above you in that roof space. 131 00:07:48,615 --> 00:07:50,335 Speaker 6: Oh yeah, and there reason another reason why I want 132 00:07:50,335 --> 00:07:53,295 Speaker 6: to take it out. That's leaking. Okay, I'm straight down 133 00:07:53,335 --> 00:07:56,295 Speaker 6: the flue the water when it gets a good easterly Yes, 134 00:07:56,335 --> 00:07:57,695 Speaker 6: and it's raining as well. 135 00:07:57,855 --> 00:08:01,575 Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, yeah, no, look I think you know Corrigo 136 00:08:01,735 --> 00:08:03,975 Speaker 3: diners is a really great material. 137 00:08:04,415 --> 00:08:05,615 Speaker 6: It's not corregate, it's. 138 00:08:08,255 --> 00:08:10,095 Speaker 8: The yep yep. 139 00:08:10,495 --> 00:08:16,015 Speaker 3: So it's like a yes, but do you know because 140 00:08:16,015 --> 00:08:18,855 Speaker 3: you'll have to find exactly what type of roofing it is, 141 00:08:20,135 --> 00:08:22,255 Speaker 3: or if you've got a spare sheet left over or 142 00:08:22,295 --> 00:08:27,575 Speaker 3: something like that. So so before you start the job, 143 00:08:27,655 --> 00:08:31,135 Speaker 3: get the roofing iron, make sure that it fits. And 144 00:08:31,295 --> 00:08:33,695 Speaker 3: if you take a photograph of it and draw the 145 00:08:33,735 --> 00:08:35,495 Speaker 3: dimensions on it and send it to a roof for 146 00:08:35,615 --> 00:08:40,815 Speaker 3: or to someone like Roofing Association Roofing Industries rather, they'll 147 00:08:40,855 --> 00:08:49,935 Speaker 3: know the profile. If they've got it, that's great. It's 148 00:08:49,975 --> 00:08:52,015 Speaker 3: just if you can't find the roofing profile, you might 149 00:08:52,055 --> 00:08:55,175 Speaker 3: need to go to a manufacturer. But either way I would, 150 00:08:55,775 --> 00:09:02,015 Speaker 3: given that it's already leaking, I'm like yeah, but but 151 00:09:02,095 --> 00:09:04,095 Speaker 3: either way, if you can get the sheet, I would 152 00:09:04,695 --> 00:09:08,015 Speaker 3: pull the flu out out completely, take all the flashings 153 00:09:08,055 --> 00:09:11,215 Speaker 3: off around the opening, and then just simply lay a 154 00:09:11,255 --> 00:09:14,575 Speaker 3: new sheet over the top of what's already there, tuck 155 00:09:14,655 --> 00:09:17,335 Speaker 3: that up underneath the ridge at the top. You know, 156 00:09:17,455 --> 00:09:19,295 Speaker 3: arguably you don't even need to go right down to 157 00:09:19,335 --> 00:09:22,695 Speaker 3: the gutter. As long as you go down to yep, 158 00:09:23,015 --> 00:09:26,335 Speaker 3: that'll stop the leaking. It'll look a lot tidier, hopefully, 159 00:09:26,775 --> 00:09:31,455 Speaker 3: and then you know that everything's out and gone yep. Yeah. 160 00:09:31,495 --> 00:09:35,455 Speaker 6: And then the inside because because they have another free. 161 00:09:35,375 --> 00:09:38,175 Speaker 3: Inside the fruit that's right, it'll be a double lined yep. 162 00:09:39,815 --> 00:09:42,135 Speaker 3: But I just take everything out, take the flashing off 163 00:09:42,175 --> 00:09:44,415 Speaker 3: the top.

By the way, it's a 189 00:11:05,375 --> 00:11:10,215 Speaker 3: bit odd moving out of daylight saving on Easter. Why 190 00:11:10,255 --> 00:11:13,215 Speaker 3: it should be odd, but it just feels like it's 191 00:11:13,255 --> 00:11:14,935 Speaker 3: not really the day that you do it. But anyway, 192 00:11:15,015 --> 00:11:16,935 Speaker 3: that's that's what's going to happen. I'm just telling you 193 00:11:16,975 --> 00:11:19,815 Speaker 3: because someone told me, oh, daylight saving tomorrow, and I'm like, ah, 194 00:11:19,855 --> 00:11:21,575 Speaker 3: I don't think so.

Apparently they're taking out analog clocks from 206 00:11:54,335 --> 00:11:58,735 Speaker 3: schools because kids can't read the time. So I know Locke, 207 00:11:58,735 --> 00:12:02,015 Speaker 3: who was a young person, is disgusted by his peers. 208 00:12:02,935 --> 00:12:05,935 Speaker 3: But anyway, I say that only because we've well, we've 209 00:12:05,975 --> 00:12:09,215 Speaker 3: got a digital analog clock in the studio, which is 210 00:12:09,295 --> 00:12:11,895 Speaker 3: awesome because to be fair, for the last fourteen years, 211 00:12:11,935 --> 00:12:14,495 Speaker 3: because I arrive here on a Sunday morning, often the 212 00:12:14,535 --> 00:12:17,535 Speaker 3: first person to arrive and work in this particular studio 213 00:12:17,615 --> 00:12:21,335 Speaker 3: that for many, many years had a simple battery operated 214 00:12:21,375 --> 00:12:24,175 Speaker 3: clock on the wall which was never at the right time. 215 00:12:24,215 --> 00:12:29,495 Speaker 3: But anyway, I would hop up onto a chair, take 216 00:12:29,535 --> 00:12:31,495 Speaker 3: it down, change the time, put it back up again, 217 00:12:33,495 --> 00:12:36,655 Speaker 3: doing so while standing on a swiveling chair in a studio, 218 00:12:37,255 --> 00:12:40,335 Speaker 3: it breaches all sorts of health and safety regulations. But anyway, 219 00:12:40,575 --> 00:12:43,295 Speaker 3: to date, no injuries. Now I don't need to do 220 00:12:43,295 --> 00:12:45,535 Speaker 3: it because we've got the splash new digital clock. Anyway, 221 00:12:45,895 --> 00:12:47,575 Speaker 3: that's what it looks like at my place right now, 222 00:12:48,055 --> 00:12:50,175 Speaker 3: is in the studio, Brian, good morning. 223 00:12:50,895 --> 00:12:55,975 Speaker 5: Yes, good morning presents. We've got a thirty year old 224 00:12:56,535 --> 00:13:01,655 Speaker 5: orange brick house. Along the southeastern side of the house 225 00:13:01,935 --> 00:13:05,375 Speaker 5: is a concrete path that runs right up to the 226 00:13:05,415 --> 00:13:09,135 Speaker 5: brick wall. We've noticed that there's quite a bit of 227 00:13:09,255 --> 00:13:13,175 Speaker 5: graying on the bricks. Would that be because of the 228 00:13:13,215 --> 00:13:16,295 Speaker 5: bricks itself or the concrete path. 229 00:13:17,215 --> 00:13:20,535 Speaker 3: When you say graying on the bricks, it's so often 230 00:13:20,855 --> 00:13:23,775 Speaker 3: or sometimes we'll get that efflorescence that comes out of me. 231 00:13:24,295 --> 00:13:26,775 Speaker 5: I was wondering if it was that out of the 232 00:13:26,775 --> 00:13:30,775 Speaker 5: bricks or something the same sort of thing coming out 233 00:13:30,815 --> 00:13:31,855 Speaker 5: of the concrete path. 234 00:13:32,415 --> 00:13:34,815 Speaker 3: The only thing with the efforescence is that often it 235 00:13:34,895 --> 00:13:42,495 Speaker 3: is it is quite white. It's obviously white. Yeah, yeah, 236 00:13:42,535 --> 00:13:46,375 Speaker 3: well this is looking more gray gray, okay. Yeah, And 237 00:13:46,415 --> 00:13:51,175 Speaker 3: it's so where the concrete path abuts the bricks, is 238 00:13:51,215 --> 00:13:58,415 Speaker 3: that still below ground level as a blow floor level rather. Yes, okay, so. 239 00:13:58,815 --> 00:14:04,655 Speaker 5: In the I'm just wondering also the there was it 240 00:14:04,695 --> 00:14:08,295 Speaker 5: not the the the concrete and between the. 241 00:14:09,935 --> 00:14:14,975 Speaker 3: Bricks the mortar Yeah, sorry, and the mortar is witch 242 00:14:15,015 --> 00:14:23,175 Speaker 3: color gray yeah, okay. And so it's only happening on 243 00:14:23,215 --> 00:14:26,975 Speaker 3: the south side of the building. Yeah, And it's only 244 00:14:27,015 --> 00:14:30,495 Speaker 3: happening on the bricks close down to the path. 245 00:14:31,655 --> 00:14:32,095 Speaker 5: Correct. 246 00:14:34,135 --> 00:14:36,575 Speaker 3: And does it if you rub it, does it come off? 247 00:14:40,855 --> 00:14:40,895 Speaker 4: No? 248 00:14:41,215 --> 00:14:47,175 Speaker 5: Well not stro No, I don't think so. I haven't 249 00:14:47,175 --> 00:14:48,295 Speaker 5: actually tried rubbing it. 250 00:14:48,655 --> 00:14:53,255 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I know we typically think about brick 251 00:14:53,335 --> 00:14:56,295 Speaker 3: as being you know, not requiring any maintenance, but a 252 00:14:56,415 --> 00:14:59,375 Speaker 3: thorough washed down from time to time, and if you 253 00:14:59,455 --> 00:15:03,335 Speaker 3: wanted to, you could use what you might use just 254 00:15:03,695 --> 00:15:07,895 Speaker 3: for example, clear off if essence from brick work as well, 255 00:15:08,015 --> 00:15:11,735 Speaker 3: so a very diluted spirit assaults or there are some 256 00:15:11,775 --> 00:15:17,055 Speaker 3: specialized you know, efflorescence removers, and then give that side 257 00:15:17,055 --> 00:15:21,335 Speaker 3: of the building a rinse, apply the solution, agitate lightly 258 00:15:21,495 --> 00:15:23,975 Speaker 3: and rinse off and just see whether that just knocks 259 00:15:23,975 --> 00:15:29,135 Speaker 3: it back inside the house on that southern side. Do 260 00:15:29,215 --> 00:15:34,095 Speaker 3: you think you've got any issues with mold or moisture? Okay, 261 00:15:35,375 --> 00:15:39,135 Speaker 3: So it's purely cosmetic in the sense of its appearance. 262 00:15:40,015 --> 00:15:41,215 Speaker 5: Yes, that's right. 263 00:15:42,695 --> 00:15:51,135 Speaker 3: Okay, I think without seeing it and it's a little 264 00:15:51,135 --> 00:15:54,095 Speaker 3: bit challenging, but you know, if you wanted to remove it, 265 00:15:54,495 --> 00:15:57,535 Speaker 3: then maybe have a look at some of the as 266 00:15:57,615 --> 00:16:01,735 Speaker 3: mentioned that the efforescence remov all type products and just 267 00:16:01,775 --> 00:16:04,415 Speaker 3: give that side of the building a washdown. See if 268 00:16:04,415 --> 00:16:07,215 Speaker 3: that knocks it back a bit, and if not, I 269 00:16:07,295 --> 00:16:09,895 Speaker 3: might get you to send me a photograph in this instance, 270 00:16:10,855 --> 00:16:18,735 Speaker 3: all right, I already suggested that l oh clr. Yeah, 271 00:16:19,655 --> 00:16:25,735 Speaker 3: probably wouldn't hurt. That's a good starting place. So I've 272 00:16:25,815 --> 00:16:28,375 Speaker 3: used that for cleaning off you know, rough spots and 273 00:16:28,455 --> 00:16:31,655 Speaker 3: lime and those sorts of things. So yeah, I would 274 00:16:31,695 --> 00:16:36,295 Speaker 3: dilute it down, apply it on, rinse it off, agitate, 275 00:16:36,375 --> 00:16:40,015 Speaker 3: rinse it off. So have a go, because it's not 276 00:16:40,055 --> 00:16:41,055 Speaker 3: going to hurt it, I think. 277 00:16:41,575 --> 00:16:44,855 Speaker 5: Okay, just using your hose rather than a water blast. 278 00:16:44,935 --> 00:16:46,775 Speaker 3: Oh yeah, no, stay away from I mean, you know 279 00:16:46,895 --> 00:16:49,215 Speaker 3: I've said this thousand times. I love water blasting, right, 280 00:16:49,255 --> 00:16:52,455 Speaker 3: but you've got to use it in the right situation, 281 00:16:52,815 --> 00:16:55,695 Speaker 3: in the right time, and there's no need to water 282 00:16:55,735 --> 00:17:02,415 Speaker 3: blast there. Actually, you could use the water blaster at 283 00:17:02,495 --> 00:17:06,455 Speaker 3: a distance and not necessarily at high pressure, so you 284 00:17:06,495 --> 00:17:08,175 Speaker 3: don't want to be doing is You know how often 285 00:17:08,215 --> 00:17:10,295 Speaker 3: if you want to wader blast a path, you go 286 00:17:10,375 --> 00:17:12,215 Speaker 3: down nice and close to it and you get rid 287 00:17:12,215 --> 00:17:14,535 Speaker 3: of all the moss and mold. You want to stand 288 00:17:14,575 --> 00:17:18,935 Speaker 3: back a little bit, but apply pressure without blasting. As 289 00:17:19,015 --> 00:17:20,055 Speaker 3: the best way of describing. 290 00:17:20,375 --> 00:17:22,375 Speaker 5: Yeah, gotcha. 291 00:17:22,495 --> 00:17:26,775 Speaker 3: Good luck all mate, all the best, Take care and John, 292 00:17:26,975 --> 00:17:27,975 Speaker 3: good morning to you. 293 00:17:28,855 --> 00:17:32,455 Speaker 9: Good morning feet. I've got a window. 294 00:17:34,015 --> 00:17:36,815 Speaker 10: I'm fixing up a window for a friend of mine, Cedar, 295 00:17:37,255 --> 00:17:41,615 Speaker 10: and there's rot in the bottom corner of the put 296 00:17:41,615 --> 00:17:42,575 Speaker 10: the hole for pain. 297 00:17:42,495 --> 00:17:43,895 Speaker 3: And not the window frame. 298 00:17:43,935 --> 00:17:49,815 Speaker 10: But but you know, yes, yeah, the sash and it's 299 00:17:49,815 --> 00:17:57,055 Speaker 10: gone up about fifty email up the vertical and about 300 00:17:57,095 --> 00:17:59,815 Speaker 10: the same maybe a bit longer, and the horizontal. I've 301 00:17:59,815 --> 00:18:04,575 Speaker 10: cut all that out and I've got a nice space 302 00:18:04,615 --> 00:18:08,015 Speaker 10: in there. I thought about sort of going around the 303 00:18:08,015 --> 00:18:15,335 Speaker 10: corner with some marine gray plywood to strengthen the join. Well, 304 00:18:15,495 --> 00:18:17,215 Speaker 10: my question is how do I glue it in? 305 00:18:18,415 --> 00:18:19,935 Speaker 5: I've got pretty good surfaces. 306 00:18:20,215 --> 00:18:24,575 Speaker 10: Yes, should I use a you're a saying, you know, 307 00:18:24,695 --> 00:18:28,015 Speaker 10: foaming type glue or should I just bog it in 308 00:18:28,055 --> 00:18:29,135 Speaker 10: with a builder's bog? 309 00:18:31,335 --> 00:18:34,455 Speaker 3: I wouldn't use the builder's bog as an adhesive, because 310 00:18:34,455 --> 00:18:37,695 Speaker 3: it's not really designed to be an adhesive. And interestingly enough, 311 00:18:37,735 --> 00:18:39,815 Speaker 3: I was heading in the same as you were describing it. 312 00:18:39,895 --> 00:18:42,495 Speaker 3: I was thinking, because you've got rot that's gone let's 313 00:18:42,535 --> 00:18:45,535 Speaker 3: say on two axis, right, it's gone up and across 314 00:18:45,935 --> 00:18:50,695 Speaker 3: and obviously on the corner that's going to potentially impact 315 00:18:50,855 --> 00:18:54,695 Speaker 3: on the integrity of that join. And I was thinking, gosh, 316 00:18:54,735 --> 00:18:56,895 Speaker 3: if I was repairing that, would I make up like 317 00:18:56,935 --> 00:19:00,895 Speaker 3: a little L bracket in timber or imply and then 318 00:19:00,935 --> 00:19:03,135 Speaker 3: put that in. And that's obviously where you're heading as well, 319 00:19:03,215 --> 00:19:06,615 Speaker 3: So I think we're on the same page there. Look, 320 00:19:07,095 --> 00:19:10,095 Speaker 3: there's any number of really good two pot epoxies that 321 00:19:10,175 --> 00:19:13,695 Speaker 3: you can use as adhesive. So there'll be some ados, 322 00:19:13,735 --> 00:19:18,775 Speaker 3: there'll be EPI glass, I think, make one, but I 323 00:19:19,095 --> 00:19:22,695 Speaker 3: would go and buy one of those two pot epoxy solutions. 324 00:19:23,495 --> 00:19:26,295 Speaker 3: So clean the area out, make sure that your piece 325 00:19:26,335 --> 00:19:31,975 Speaker 3: of timber fits quite well. I'd be inclined possibly to 326 00:19:32,095 --> 00:19:36,495 Speaker 3: let that timber sit slightly below the surface and then 327 00:19:36,655 --> 00:19:39,895 Speaker 3: fill over the top or leave it proud and sand 328 00:19:39,935 --> 00:19:42,735 Speaker 3: it flat. That might actually be a better solution. So 329 00:19:43,055 --> 00:19:45,655 Speaker 3: lots of epoxy around it, bed that in clemp it 330 00:19:45,695 --> 00:19:48,695 Speaker 3: in let the epoxy go off. It's probably twenty four 331 00:19:48,695 --> 00:19:53,135 Speaker 3: hours or so sand it use an oil based primer 332 00:19:53,415 --> 00:19:58,055 Speaker 3: on there, and yeah that I think that would be 333 00:19:58,055 --> 00:20:00,335 Speaker 3: a really good repair. And then you'll flush it off 334 00:20:00,535 --> 00:20:07,015 Speaker 3: with a you could use one of the interesting things 335 00:20:07,015 --> 00:20:10,495 Speaker 3: about builders bog and lost track of how many buckets 336 00:20:10,535 --> 00:20:13,735 Speaker 3: of it I've used over the years. You can't use 337 00:20:13,775 --> 00:20:15,775 Speaker 3: it on painted surfaces. It has to go on to 338 00:20:15,855 --> 00:20:21,495 Speaker 3: a bear surface, whereas other products. And I've just I've 339 00:20:21,495 --> 00:20:26,175 Speaker 3: got a file in my photographs of products that I've 340 00:20:26,215 --> 00:20:29,695 Speaker 3: got at home, so I'm just going to quickly see 341 00:20:29,695 --> 00:20:37,175 Speaker 3: if i can find that for you. Except now there's 342 00:20:37,175 --> 00:20:39,655 Speaker 3: a new setting on your phone, and for the life 343 00:20:39,735 --> 00:20:41,135 Speaker 3: of me, it gets here. 344 00:20:41,135 --> 00:20:41,455 Speaker 10: We go. 345 00:20:44,255 --> 00:20:46,615 Speaker 3: Is the winter? Have you been able to do this 346 00:20:46,895 --> 00:20:50,055 Speaker 3: without the glass being damaged? 347 00:20:50,855 --> 00:20:57,335 Speaker 10: Yeah, no, the glass is fine. There's probably about a 348 00:20:57,375 --> 00:20:59,335 Speaker 10: third of the joint is still sound. 349 00:20:59,535 --> 00:21:02,855 Speaker 3: Oh yeah, okay, so I'm not you. 350 00:21:02,775 --> 00:21:05,655 Speaker 10: Know, I just don't think it's quite enough too for 351 00:21:05,735 --> 00:21:08,775 Speaker 10: the integral the whole thing if it starts moving, you know, 352 00:21:09,615 --> 00:21:12,815 Speaker 10: opening and closing. So that's why i'd put in the plywood, 353 00:21:12,935 --> 00:21:15,775 Speaker 10: or I thought of that laminating cedar in there, but 354 00:21:16,655 --> 00:21:18,215 Speaker 10: fly easier. 355 00:21:18,455 --> 00:21:23,335 Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely, I'll have to dig it out. Just stay 356 00:21:23,335 --> 00:21:24,775 Speaker 3: listening for a few minutes and I'll see if i 357 00:21:24,815 --> 00:21:29,615 Speaker 3: can find. It's really annoying that now Phatos have upgraded 358 00:21:29,655 --> 00:21:33,975 Speaker 3: and now I can't find anything, which is awesome. I'll there, look, 359 00:21:34,055 --> 00:21:37,055 Speaker 3: I go with the plywood, go with the two pot 360 00:21:37,055 --> 00:21:40,855 Speaker 3: of POxy, finish it off with some oil based primer, 361 00:21:41,175 --> 00:21:45,535 Speaker 3: and job done. Thank you very much, pleasure, nice job, 362 00:21:45,935 --> 00:21:48,895 Speaker 3: take care of all the best, Bobby. Just with the 363 00:21:49,495 --> 00:21:51,735 Speaker 3: read the gray bricks. I've seen it before where it 364 00:21:51,775 --> 00:21:54,815 Speaker 3: could be water sprinklers, and if he's on bore water, 365 00:21:54,975 --> 00:21:57,895 Speaker 3: it could be high and iron and that leaves a 366 00:21:57,895 --> 00:22:03,055 Speaker 3: gray stain very hard to get off. But I've used 367 00:22:03,095 --> 00:22:06,055 Speaker 3: some chemicals from a tiling shop. When it's off, I 368 00:22:06,175 --> 00:22:09,575 Speaker 3: use dry penetrating sealer on that wallace from Muzz, who's 369 00:22:09,575 --> 00:22:12,455 Speaker 3: regular contributor. So thanks for that read the gray bricks. 370 00:22:12,495 --> 00:22:15,655 Speaker 3: I've seen it before. If you're on bore water, that 371 00:22:15,815 --> 00:22:19,855 Speaker 3: might be high and iron. Interesting and someone has schooled 372 00:22:19,855 --> 00:22:22,575 Speaker 3: me on daylight saving, which is fair enough. Daylight saving 373 00:22:22,655 --> 00:22:25,015 Speaker 3: is always on the last Sunday in September and the 374 00:22:25,055 --> 00:22:29,255 Speaker 3: first Sunday in April. Regardless of when Easter is fair enough, 375 00:22:29,735 --> 00:22:31,415 Speaker 3: How is it that I don't have a memory of 376 00:22:31,495 --> 00:22:34,375 Speaker 3: daylight Saving being on Easter Sunday. It must have happened 377 00:22:34,415 --> 00:22:40,095 Speaker 3: before either way. Next Sunday is Easter Sunday, and it's 378 00:22:40,135 --> 00:22:45,975 Speaker 3: also daylight saving. And just by the bye, Good Friday, 379 00:22:46,055 --> 00:22:48,975 Speaker 3: of course is just for East Sunday. And I'll be 380 00:22:49,015 --> 00:22:52,815 Speaker 3: here doing six to all nine on Good Friday morning 381 00:22:53,055 --> 00:22:57,695 Speaker 3: as well. There you go an extra shift during Holy Week. Oh, 382 00:22:57,735 --> 00:23:00,015 Speaker 3: eight hundred and eighty ten eighty is the number four 383 00:23:00,095 --> 00:23:02,935 Speaker 3: quick text before we go to the next break as well. Hey, 384 00:23:02,935 --> 00:23:06,895 Speaker 3: Peat sixty five inch TV Ooh, you need to put 385 00:23:06,935 --> 00:23:09,135 Speaker 3: it on the wall. It's a steel stud. What kind 386 00:23:09,135 --> 00:23:11,615 Speaker 3: of screws do I need? Prefer something I can whack 387 00:23:11,735 --> 00:23:16,375 Speaker 3: on my impact drill, Nate. You go easy on the 388 00:23:16,375 --> 00:23:20,175 Speaker 3: impact drill, Nate. So what you want is a fine 389 00:23:20,375 --> 00:23:26,335 Speaker 3: thread screw to fix the plate to the steel stud. 390 00:23:27,175 --> 00:23:32,015 Speaker 3: And in fact, yeah, using an impact driver, you can 391 00:23:32,055 --> 00:23:37,135 Speaker 3: easily overtalk it and effectively strip. You won't strip the 392 00:23:37,255 --> 00:23:42,735 Speaker 3: thread on the screw, but you'll bore out the thread 393 00:23:42,775 --> 00:23:46,935 Speaker 3: that you've wound into the steel stud if you overtalk it. 394 00:23:47,255 --> 00:23:49,775 Speaker 3: And so it won't bite because, I mean, the steel 395 00:23:49,815 --> 00:23:53,255 Speaker 3: studs relatively thin gauge. So if you're a little bit 396 00:23:53,495 --> 00:23:58,935 Speaker 3: over enthusiastic with your impact drill, you just got to 397 00:23:58,935 --> 00:24:02,375 Speaker 3: go really slowly and just wind that in nice and slow, 398 00:24:02,415 --> 00:24:04,935 Speaker 3: and don't try and overtalk it because you'll strip out 399 00:24:04,935 --> 00:24:07,135 Speaker 3: the thread that you've created in them in the metal stud. 400 00:24:07,615 --> 00:24:12,175 Speaker 3: But some metal thread or fine thread sometimes with the 401 00:24:12,495 --> 00:24:16,535 Speaker 3: drill bit on the end, it looks like a drill 402 00:24:16,575 --> 00:24:18,775 Speaker 3: bit that'll get you through the steel stud and then 403 00:24:18,815 --> 00:24:23,455 Speaker 3: wind it in. That should work, but just a little 404 00:24:23,495 --> 00:24:25,895 Speaker 3: bit gentle. It is six thirty three. We'll talk to 405 00:24:26,295 --> 00:24:27,335 Speaker 3: Jenny in just a moment. 406 00:24:27,815 --> 00:24:33,535 Speaker 1: Measure twice call once on eighty eight. The resident builder 407 00:24:33,575 --> 00:24:37,495 Speaker 1: with Peter Wolfcamp and Independent Building supplies the future of 408 00:24:37,575 --> 00:24:38,975 Speaker 1: ken we Building Today. 409 00:24:39,175 --> 00:24:42,535 Speaker 3: News talks be your news talks, there'd be. It is 410 00:24:42,775 --> 00:24:49,055 Speaker 3: six thirty six and Jenny, good morning, Good morning, greetings. 411 00:24:49,215 --> 00:24:53,295 Speaker 11: I've got a water leak problem around the area of 412 00:24:53,375 --> 00:24:58,175 Speaker 11: my French doors. Went it rained heavily, so I had 413 00:24:58,215 --> 00:25:02,255 Speaker 11: an extensive repair of that approximately three years ago. The 414 00:25:02,375 --> 00:25:05,375 Speaker 11: removes are so replastered. Did quite a bit of work 415 00:25:05,695 --> 00:25:09,655 Speaker 11: and it's all the entire painted etcetera. Late last year, 416 00:25:10,135 --> 00:25:13,135 Speaker 11: I noticed just the door frame was bulging at the 417 00:25:13,175 --> 00:25:17,095 Speaker 11: bottom and it was all soggy and paint cracking that 418 00:25:17,135 --> 00:25:23,455 Speaker 11: sort of thing. So called them builders back again. So 419 00:25:23,815 --> 00:25:25,695 Speaker 11: what we've done in the meantime, it's been a bit 420 00:25:25,735 --> 00:25:28,935 Speaker 11: difficult to work out exactly where it's coming from. It 421 00:25:28,975 --> 00:25:33,215 Speaker 11: doesn't seem to be the doors itself, but so they've 422 00:25:33,535 --> 00:25:37,535 Speaker 11: cut a big hole of redok size hole. It's happening 423 00:25:37,575 --> 00:25:41,255 Speaker 11: in two places, both sides of the French doors. There's 424 00:25:41,335 --> 00:25:44,415 Speaker 11: like the four panels just the doors open in the 425 00:25:44,455 --> 00:25:48,455 Speaker 11: middle toe and they've cut a big hole out so 426 00:25:48,535 --> 00:25:51,735 Speaker 11: we can see where the leak's coming and remove the 427 00:25:51,815 --> 00:25:54,775 Speaker 11: gym that sort of thing, and for it to dry out. 428 00:25:55,975 --> 00:26:01,975 Speaker 11: They've also put in a bit more sala and put 429 00:26:01,975 --> 00:26:08,135 Speaker 11: a flashing underneath the sill on the outside. I have 430 00:26:08,255 --> 00:26:11,815 Speaker 11: got a drainage channel there that's been there since the 431 00:26:11,855 --> 00:26:13,895 Speaker 11: second one. That seems to be working, so I don't 432 00:26:13,895 --> 00:26:18,695 Speaker 11: think the water's coming in there. But when it rained again, 433 00:26:18,775 --> 00:26:22,655 Speaker 11: there's still a bit more water coming in. So he 434 00:26:22,815 --> 00:26:25,255 Speaker 11: was going to come back and maybe put the hose 435 00:26:25,375 --> 00:26:28,615 Speaker 11: or hasn't turned up. So I did that myself, but 436 00:26:28,655 --> 00:26:30,815 Speaker 11: I could still see a little bit of water coming in, 437 00:26:30,935 --> 00:26:34,135 Speaker 11: so just reluctant to close it up. Have you at 438 00:26:34,175 --> 00:26:38,455 Speaker 11: the moment with the problem still there. I think it 439 00:26:38,535 --> 00:26:42,575 Speaker 11: was a garage initially, so it's been the odd comment 440 00:26:42,655 --> 00:26:49,695 Speaker 11: that it's a bit low to the tiles outside. 441 00:26:47,855 --> 00:26:52,295 Speaker 3: Will make difference. So a couple of quick questions. The 442 00:26:52,415 --> 00:26:58,455 Speaker 3: doors are timber or aluminium timber? Timber, okay? And they 443 00:26:58,535 --> 00:27:01,935 Speaker 3: were sort of retro fitted into the space. If it 444 00:27:02,055 --> 00:27:04,335 Speaker 3: was originally something else, it might have been a garage 445 00:27:04,375 --> 00:27:09,015 Speaker 3: door and now it's a timber No, I. 446 00:27:08,975 --> 00:27:10,015 Speaker 12: Don't think the garage door. 447 00:27:14,295 --> 00:27:17,815 Speaker 3: And then the cladding around the doors is what sort 448 00:27:17,855 --> 00:27:18,295 Speaker 3: of cladding? 449 00:27:20,895 --> 00:27:21,615 Speaker 12: What do you mean by that? 450 00:27:22,415 --> 00:27:28,135 Speaker 3: What's the exterior of the building or rough casts? So 451 00:27:28,415 --> 00:27:34,215 Speaker 3: a plaster system of some description over timber or over. 452 00:27:36,335 --> 00:27:39,495 Speaker 12: Over I don't know he did replaster around. 453 00:27:39,775 --> 00:27:41,535 Speaker 3: If you've been able to cut the GiB bought out 454 00:27:41,615 --> 00:27:44,975 Speaker 3: from the inside, that's a timber frame that you're seeing, 455 00:27:45,055 --> 00:27:49,855 Speaker 3: isn't it. Yes, yeah, okay, so it's timber stud wall 456 00:27:49,935 --> 00:27:55,135 Speaker 3: and then render on the outside. When when they installed 457 00:27:55,255 --> 00:27:59,375 Speaker 3: the window, you weren't there. But I just wonder whether 458 00:27:59,455 --> 00:28:02,735 Speaker 3: when they installed the window, did they remove some of 459 00:28:02,775 --> 00:28:06,135 Speaker 3: the plaster around it in order to get some flashings 460 00:28:06,135 --> 00:28:10,095 Speaker 3: and there, and then bring the plaster up to the 461 00:28:10,175 --> 00:28:14,015 Speaker 3: side of the joinery because again, you know, if, for example, 462 00:28:14,095 --> 00:28:19,295 Speaker 3: it's a retrofit situation where the wall is there, then 463 00:28:19,415 --> 00:28:21,535 Speaker 3: a hole is cut in the wall, then the joinery 464 00:28:21,615 --> 00:28:26,495 Speaker 3: is inserted. Sometimes people don't, you know, take the plaster 465 00:28:26,575 --> 00:28:30,495 Speaker 3: off around it and create a flashing around it. I 466 00:28:30,535 --> 00:28:34,295 Speaker 3: guess the other thing is is your cladding, your plaster 467 00:28:34,375 --> 00:28:38,455 Speaker 3: cladding direct fixed to the timber frame or is there 468 00:28:38,495 --> 00:28:41,855 Speaker 3: a cavity batton is there a gap between them? 469 00:28:42,375 --> 00:28:43,255 Speaker 12: Really don't know. 470 00:28:43,495 --> 00:28:45,295 Speaker 11: I know when they put the door frame, and I 471 00:28:45,335 --> 00:28:47,135 Speaker 11: did see the guy do the plastering, but. 472 00:28:49,735 --> 00:28:50,815 Speaker 12: Look, I really can't. 473 00:28:53,855 --> 00:28:56,535 Speaker 3: Without wanting to sound smoke. This is this Funnily enough, 474 00:28:56,535 --> 00:29:00,215 Speaker 3: when I started the show today, I was describing situations 475 00:29:00,375 --> 00:29:03,495 Speaker 3: I guess in construction where it's never just one task, 476 00:29:03,615 --> 00:29:06,255 Speaker 3: it's a series of tasks done in a particular order 477 00:29:06,855 --> 00:29:09,575 Speaker 3: to create a really good outcome. So if we think 478 00:29:09,615 --> 00:29:12,895 Speaker 3: about something relatively simple like installing a set of French 479 00:29:12,935 --> 00:29:17,135 Speaker 3: doors into an existing opening, you know, in your case 480 00:29:17,175 --> 00:29:21,175 Speaker 3: you'd be talking about having a sill flashing put in 481 00:29:21,255 --> 00:29:24,695 Speaker 3: that's got a fall to the outside. So that within 482 00:29:24,775 --> 00:29:28,535 Speaker 3: timber joinery, there's like a little groove in the jam 483 00:29:28,695 --> 00:29:30,855 Speaker 3: and in the sash, and at the bottom where it 484 00:29:30,895 --> 00:29:34,255 Speaker 3: meets the sill, typically there's little hole, little OUs water 485 00:29:34,375 --> 00:29:37,775 Speaker 3: to drain through, hit that flashing on the underside of 486 00:29:37,775 --> 00:29:42,655 Speaker 3: the sill and drain out. Now, if that's not there, 487 00:29:42,855 --> 00:29:45,615 Speaker 3: then any water that's caught between the frame and the 488 00:29:45,695 --> 00:29:48,815 Speaker 3: sash has got nowhere to go, and so it's finding 489 00:29:48,815 --> 00:29:51,615 Speaker 3: another way either in or out. And if it can't 490 00:29:51,615 --> 00:29:53,895 Speaker 3: find a way out, it'll find a way in. And 491 00:29:53,935 --> 00:29:58,335 Speaker 3: that's what you might be seeing. So you know, again 492 00:29:58,375 --> 00:30:01,895 Speaker 3: it's that process of you create the opening, you need 493 00:30:01,935 --> 00:30:04,695 Speaker 3: to flash the opening, you need to install the sill 494 00:30:04,735 --> 00:30:07,815 Speaker 3: tray or the sill flashing, you need to install the joinery, 495 00:30:07,895 --> 00:30:10,735 Speaker 3: you need to install the head flashing, you need to 496 00:30:10,775 --> 00:30:14,255 Speaker 3: make sure that there's a drainage pathway that's in the joinery. 497 00:30:15,535 --> 00:30:19,375 Speaker 3: And then really interesting too, at the bottom there if 498 00:30:19,415 --> 00:30:22,415 Speaker 3: the door is too close to the sill, it won't 499 00:30:22,455 --> 00:30:27,855 Speaker 3: allow water to drain out, So you need at least 500 00:30:27,855 --> 00:30:33,055 Speaker 3: a four milimeter gap at the bottom, because otherwise water 501 00:30:33,095 --> 00:30:35,495 Speaker 3: will just sit there and be held there by surface 502 00:30:35,575 --> 00:30:44,615 Speaker 3: tension in there. So sometimes and you know, I'm still 503 00:30:44,655 --> 00:30:47,095 Speaker 3: tracking a leak on in a job that's not dissimilar 504 00:30:47,135 --> 00:30:49,295 Speaker 3: to this, right, But I don't have the luxury of 505 00:30:49,295 --> 00:30:55,415 Speaker 3: being able to pull the inside lining off right because 506 00:30:56,655 --> 00:31:00,055 Speaker 3: like in what you've described, there could be two or 507 00:31:00,095 --> 00:31:04,295 Speaker 3: three potential pathways for that water to get inside. 508 00:31:04,375 --> 00:31:06,535 Speaker 12: Well, I think so too, because the sea. 509 00:31:08,255 --> 00:31:11,815 Speaker 3: Yeah, see, I wonder whether it's part of the issue. 510 00:31:11,895 --> 00:31:15,095 Speaker 3: Might be that Again, if there's not the right type 511 00:31:15,135 --> 00:31:18,335 Speaker 3: of flashing detail around the side of the windows in 512 00:31:18,415 --> 00:31:21,015 Speaker 3: terms of how the cladding comes up to the to 513 00:31:21,095 --> 00:31:24,215 Speaker 3: the joinery unit, you could be getting water in there, 514 00:31:24,215 --> 00:31:26,695 Speaker 3: and that would explain why you've got it on both sides, right. 515 00:31:26,735 --> 00:31:30,655 Speaker 3: If there's lack of detailing on both sides of the joinery, 516 00:31:31,055 --> 00:31:33,735 Speaker 3: then when it rains, it'll come in both sides of 517 00:31:33,735 --> 00:31:42,975 Speaker 3: the joinery. The Now that you've got the lining off 518 00:31:43,015 --> 00:31:46,695 Speaker 3: the inside, and if the builder is able to come back, 519 00:31:46,735 --> 00:31:49,895 Speaker 3: I think the right approach is to use a hose. Yeah, 520 00:31:50,175 --> 00:31:52,495 Speaker 3: use a hose and see if you can make it leak, 521 00:31:52,815 --> 00:31:54,615 Speaker 3: because you'll be able to see it quite quickly on 522 00:31:54,655 --> 00:32:00,415 Speaker 3: the inside hopefully. But I do wonder whether in order 523 00:32:00,455 --> 00:32:03,575 Speaker 3: to fix this properly, you might actually need to take 524 00:32:03,655 --> 00:32:09,335 Speaker 3: the joinery out, reinstall it correctly, because adding like as 525 00:32:09,335 --> 00:32:11,135 Speaker 3: soon as someone says to me, I've just put some 526 00:32:11,175 --> 00:32:18,855 Speaker 3: more sealant around it. Sealant should never be your waterproofing. No, 527 00:32:20,375 --> 00:32:25,055 Speaker 3: your design detail and installation, including all of the flashings 528 00:32:25,335 --> 00:32:28,655 Speaker 3: that should be what keeps your building weather tight. To 529 00:32:28,775 --> 00:32:33,095 Speaker 3: rely solely on sealant I don't think is a great 530 00:32:33,975 --> 00:32:36,015 Speaker 3: I'm not saying sealent doesn't have its place, but it 531 00:32:36,055 --> 00:32:40,335 Speaker 3: shouldn't be your primary line of defense. Your methodology and 532 00:32:40,375 --> 00:32:43,295 Speaker 3: your flashing should be. So if they're not there because 533 00:32:43,295 --> 00:32:45,775 Speaker 3: the person who installed it didn't add them, then you 534 00:32:45,815 --> 00:32:49,735 Speaker 3: may need to take that joinery suite out, do the flashings, 535 00:32:49,775 --> 00:32:51,975 Speaker 3: which might include having to knock a bit of plaster 536 00:32:52,095 --> 00:32:54,375 Speaker 3: off and that sort of thing, to install it correctly 537 00:32:55,135 --> 00:32:57,295 Speaker 3: to ensure that you don't have the problem come back again. 538 00:32:57,615 --> 00:32:59,215 Speaker 3: So maybe you need to talk to the builder, and 539 00:32:59,215 --> 00:33:01,055 Speaker 3: if the builder is a bit unsure about that sort 540 00:33:01,095 --> 00:33:03,175 Speaker 3: of thing to be blunt, you might need to find 541 00:33:03,175 --> 00:33:03,815 Speaker 3: another builder. 542 00:33:05,055 --> 00:33:07,695 Speaker 11: Yes, what I was just say the sort of was 543 00:33:07,735 --> 00:33:11,135 Speaker 11: this extense of repair done so that three years ago, Yes, 544 00:33:11,175 --> 00:33:13,655 Speaker 11: a coss meet round about seven thousand dollars. So I'm 545 00:33:13,695 --> 00:33:16,255 Speaker 11: just wondering where do I stand now with them coming 546 00:33:16,295 --> 00:33:19,095 Speaker 11: back to do this, Do I am I up for 547 00:33:19,135 --> 00:33:19,415 Speaker 11: all this? 548 00:33:19,775 --> 00:33:25,055 Speaker 12: Yeah, failure? Or is it maybe to just design there 549 00:33:25,095 --> 00:33:27,255 Speaker 12: a bit low? I just don't want to. 550 00:33:28,455 --> 00:33:30,295 Speaker 3: Yeah, I guess it's a bit awkward. 551 00:33:30,375 --> 00:33:31,175 Speaker 12: I'm just not sure. 552 00:33:31,255 --> 00:33:34,615 Speaker 3: No, I hear what you're saying, because you know that's 553 00:33:34,655 --> 00:33:36,935 Speaker 3: not a It's not like you paid someone to just 554 00:33:36,975 --> 00:33:39,455 Speaker 3: squirt some sealing around the place, right. You know, seven 555 00:33:39,495 --> 00:33:43,655 Speaker 3: thousand dollars is a reasonable amount of money to spend, 556 00:33:44,055 --> 00:33:47,055 Speaker 3: and it's not unreasonable for you to expect that the 557 00:33:47,175 --> 00:33:51,135 Speaker 3: repair then should have been a permanent repair done to 558 00:33:51,175 --> 00:33:54,455 Speaker 3: a similar standards as new building work, or or an 559 00:33:54,495 --> 00:33:58,415 Speaker 3: alteration and renovation. And therefore if it's failed, I mean, 560 00:33:58,455 --> 00:34:00,695 Speaker 3: it didn't fail straight away, so it must have been 561 00:34:00,775 --> 00:34:03,815 Speaker 3: half way decent repair, but it hasn't lasted as long 562 00:34:03,855 --> 00:34:05,655 Speaker 3: as you would like it to last, right. 563 00:34:05,615 --> 00:34:06,135 Speaker 12: That's right. 564 00:34:09,055 --> 00:34:12,735 Speaker 3: Possibly it's a leak from another source, so what they 565 00:34:12,775 --> 00:34:15,015 Speaker 3: did fixed one leak, but you've got another one, in 566 00:34:15,015 --> 00:34:18,455 Speaker 3: which case it's not related to the first repair. I 567 00:34:18,495 --> 00:34:20,655 Speaker 3: think that's just going to be a discussion with your builder. 568 00:34:20,735 --> 00:34:23,255 Speaker 3: And I mean, look, the fact that someone who was 569 00:34:23,375 --> 00:34:25,215 Speaker 3: who did the work seven years ago, is prepared to 570 00:34:25,255 --> 00:34:27,255 Speaker 3: come back and look at it again. That would say 571 00:34:27,255 --> 00:34:30,175 Speaker 3: to me that they've got reasonable confidence that they'll come 572 00:34:30,215 --> 00:34:30,855 Speaker 3: and help you out. 573 00:34:30,855 --> 00:34:32,535 Speaker 5: But I'm just yeah, they. 574 00:34:32,415 --> 00:34:34,935 Speaker 12: Will come back to me. I haven't just wondered what 575 00:34:35,215 --> 00:34:35,415 Speaker 12: you know? 576 00:34:37,255 --> 00:34:40,295 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I think you've got to take a sort 577 00:34:40,295 --> 00:34:42,615 Speaker 3: of big view of it and go that it could 578 00:34:42,695 --> 00:34:47,175 Speaker 3: be from an area that we haven't investigated before. Okay, yeah, okay, 579 00:34:47,375 --> 00:34:52,895 Speaker 3: all the best will that take care. They are complex, right, 580 00:34:53,015 --> 00:34:57,455 Speaker 3: and sometimes we look for simple answers and then realize 581 00:34:57,455 --> 00:35:01,495 Speaker 3: that building is actually complex and they're not always simple answers. 582 00:35:01,895 --> 00:35:04,095 Speaker 3: I hope that works out well. We'll talk to Chris 583 00:35:04,135 --> 00:35:06,935 Speaker 3: in a moment. Eight hundred and eighty ten eighty couple 584 00:35:06,935 --> 00:35:13,535 Speaker 3: of Sorry, Pete. I wasn't trying to school you, and 585 00:35:13,575 --> 00:35:15,695 Speaker 3: I'm not suggesting that you were, and I'm not offended 586 00:35:15,695 --> 00:35:17,615 Speaker 3: by it, but thank you very much for pointing it 587 00:35:17,655 --> 00:35:21,175 Speaker 3: out like you. I can't remember it happening on Aneasta before, 588 00:35:21,215 --> 00:35:25,015 Speaker 3: so I googled it. Apparently twenty eighteen and twenty twenty one, 589 00:35:25,935 --> 00:35:27,935 Speaker 3: which isn't that long ago. I should have remembered that. 590 00:35:27,975 --> 00:35:29,935 Speaker 3: But anyway, there you go. Thank you very much, Jason. 591 00:35:29,975 --> 00:35:33,015 Speaker 3: I really appreciate the insights. It is six forty seven. 592 00:35:33,055 --> 00:35:34,935 Speaker 3: We need to take a break. Then we'll talk to 593 00:35:34,415 --> 00:35:36,615 Speaker 3: to Chris after the break. 594 00:35:37,055 --> 00:35:39,455 Speaker 1: Begs in what they forgot to mention on that YouTube 595 00:35:39,495 --> 00:35:44,135 Speaker 1: video the resident building with Peter Wolfcamp and Independent Building 596 00:35:44,175 --> 00:35:48,015 Speaker 1: supplies the future of Kiwi building today call oh eight 597 00:35:48,135 --> 00:35:50,095 Speaker 1: hundred eighty News Talks. 598 00:35:50,095 --> 00:35:52,855 Speaker 3: There be a couple of other texts I'll try to 599 00:35:52,855 --> 00:35:55,495 Speaker 3: get to shortly, but first up Chris. 600 00:35:55,255 --> 00:35:57,535 Speaker 13: Good morning, Good mind, Pete. 601 00:35:57,575 --> 00:35:59,415 Speaker 3: How are you Chris very well in yourself? 602 00:36:00,415 --> 00:36:01,935 Speaker 7: Yeah, not too bad, not too bid. 603 00:36:02,135 --> 00:36:03,055 Speaker 13: No beautiful day and. 604 00:36:03,095 --> 00:36:06,215 Speaker 3: Paradise not foggy where you are then? 605 00:36:07,415 --> 00:36:09,975 Speaker 13: No, no crystal clear, it's not a cloud in the 606 00:36:09,975 --> 00:36:11,975 Speaker 13: sky where there is a couple of mountain the sky 607 00:36:12,015 --> 00:36:13,055 Speaker 13: over it's going to. 608 00:36:13,055 --> 00:36:13,895 Speaker 8: Be a beautiful day. 609 00:36:14,015 --> 00:36:14,375 Speaker 3: Awesome. 610 00:36:14,495 --> 00:36:14,695 Speaker 6: Hey. 611 00:36:15,695 --> 00:36:19,495 Speaker 13: We have got a bit of a rural section and 612 00:36:19,895 --> 00:36:27,295 Speaker 13: we've purchased a six point four meter transportable cabin, just 613 00:36:28,015 --> 00:36:32,295 Speaker 13: a simple design, single pitch based in the room with 614 00:36:32,335 --> 00:36:35,255 Speaker 13: a small room offe side, no plumbing, no nothing I 615 00:36:35,255 --> 00:36:40,095 Speaker 13: added it. Now we need to get it piled. And 616 00:36:41,095 --> 00:36:43,695 Speaker 13: I've had one quote and the guy was saying he 617 00:36:43,815 --> 00:36:47,935 Speaker 13: needed to put in twenty five piles at up to 618 00:36:47,975 --> 00:36:51,255 Speaker 13: seven thousand dollars, and I'm thinking that sounds a little 619 00:36:51,255 --> 00:36:54,415 Speaker 13: bit overkilling, a little bit too pricey for a very 620 00:36:54,415 --> 00:36:56,935 Speaker 13: simple six point four square box cabin. 621 00:36:57,415 --> 00:37:00,215 Speaker 3: Hang on, it's six by four and he wants to 622 00:37:00,215 --> 00:37:06,815 Speaker 3: put in twenty five piles. Yes, he does realize it's piles. 623 00:37:06,815 --> 00:37:08,135 Speaker 3: It's not like a solid floor. 624 00:37:09,655 --> 00:37:09,895 Speaker 14: Yep. 625 00:37:10,095 --> 00:37:16,335 Speaker 3: Yeah, So depending on the design of the cabin, I 626 00:37:16,375 --> 00:37:20,735 Speaker 3: would imagine that it would have Well, it's possible it's 627 00:37:20,775 --> 00:37:23,335 Speaker 3: just got two rows. What's what they've allowed for is 628 00:37:23,375 --> 00:37:25,655 Speaker 3: two rows of bearers, right, so there might be a 629 00:37:25,695 --> 00:37:29,375 Speaker 3: small cantilever, and then the span of the joyst could 630 00:37:29,415 --> 00:37:32,295 Speaker 3: easily be three and a half. No, let's let's say 631 00:37:32,375 --> 00:37:35,815 Speaker 3: let's be conservative and go there's going to be or 632 00:37:35,895 --> 00:37:40,295 Speaker 3: you're going to require three rows of bearers. And so 633 00:37:40,375 --> 00:37:43,615 Speaker 3: you've got three rows straw from myself now, and then 634 00:37:43,615 --> 00:37:46,375 Speaker 3: you've got zero to six. So you've got a pile 635 00:37:46,415 --> 00:37:49,015 Speaker 3: in each corner. So you got one at six, you've 636 00:37:49,015 --> 00:37:51,415 Speaker 3: got one at four meters, one at two meters, so 637 00:37:51,455 --> 00:37:53,455 Speaker 3: that's four down each side. Twelve. 638 00:37:55,215 --> 00:37:55,415 Speaker 8: Yeah. 639 00:37:55,855 --> 00:37:59,735 Speaker 13: To give you an idea of the sign, it's sitting 640 00:37:59,735 --> 00:38:05,495 Speaker 13: on a property. Or reading, and it's sitting it's got 641 00:38:05,695 --> 00:38:09,495 Speaker 13: one two, it's got five rows of what looked like 642 00:38:09,495 --> 00:38:13,695 Speaker 13: one hundred one hundreds that run the whole six men 643 00:38:13,855 --> 00:38:19,055 Speaker 13: left underneath and they sit on the piles and at 644 00:38:19,055 --> 00:38:22,135 Speaker 13: the moment it's got four rows. 645 00:38:21,815 --> 00:38:26,655 Speaker 3: Of four four rows. Okay, that's oh well, even then 646 00:38:26,695 --> 00:38:29,695 Speaker 3: it's sixteen, right, so. 647 00:38:29,775 --> 00:38:31,855 Speaker 13: It was quite overkilled. 648 00:38:33,175 --> 00:38:39,495 Speaker 3: Yeah, just the heads up, don't use hundred by hundreds 649 00:38:39,495 --> 00:38:42,655 Speaker 3: because they're not compliant, right, so that if you're going 650 00:38:42,655 --> 00:38:46,015 Speaker 3: to do timber piles, then you would need to use 651 00:38:46,015 --> 00:38:47,975 Speaker 3: one hundred and twenty five B one hundred and twenty five, 652 00:38:47,975 --> 00:38:52,415 Speaker 3: which is sent in piles or tenor piles. Your other option, 653 00:38:52,655 --> 00:38:54,215 Speaker 3: I don't know if you've looked at it, is to 654 00:38:54,335 --> 00:38:55,415 Speaker 3: use screw piles. 655 00:38:57,495 --> 00:38:57,735 Speaker 5: Yeah. 656 00:38:57,855 --> 00:39:00,735 Speaker 13: I've actually looked into that. I'm just waiting to head 657 00:39:00,775 --> 00:39:01,815 Speaker 13: back from the company. 658 00:39:02,055 --> 00:39:04,975 Speaker 3: Yeah cool, but yeah, the. 659 00:39:04,935 --> 00:39:08,415 Speaker 13: One hundred by hundreds are actually running along the underneath 660 00:39:08,415 --> 00:39:11,735 Speaker 13: of the building almost like if you. 661 00:39:11,695 --> 00:39:16,015 Speaker 3: Imagine, oh, oh okay. 662 00:39:16,655 --> 00:39:23,135 Speaker 13: But are attached and they are those machines one hundred 663 00:39:23,175 --> 00:39:25,015 Speaker 13: one hundred posts sort. 664 00:39:24,775 --> 00:39:30,535 Speaker 3: Of someone's basically made a slid, so they've put some 665 00:39:30,615 --> 00:39:33,175 Speaker 3: timber on the ground and then just propped up off there. 666 00:39:33,215 --> 00:39:34,055 Speaker 3: But that's. 667 00:39:35,495 --> 00:39:40,895 Speaker 15: I mean, those hundred one hundreds are attached to the floor, yes, 668 00:39:40,935 --> 00:39:44,415 Speaker 15: and they sit and they sit on top of the 669 00:39:44,455 --> 00:39:47,455 Speaker 15: four hundred MILLI piles that are at there at the moment. 670 00:39:47,895 --> 00:39:53,575 Speaker 3: Right, Okay, sounds a bit hokey, but either way, Look, 671 00:39:53,855 --> 00:39:56,055 Speaker 3: I think that you'd want to go back to the 672 00:39:56,055 --> 00:39:59,575 Speaker 3: guy who's gone twenty five piles and just go show 673 00:39:59,615 --> 00:40:01,775 Speaker 3: me what that looks like. And why do you think 674 00:40:01,815 --> 00:40:04,655 Speaker 3: I need that many? And if they look if there's 675 00:40:04,695 --> 00:40:08,015 Speaker 3: something where let's say the jo chists are undersized and 676 00:40:08,175 --> 00:40:12,295 Speaker 3: the span of the joysts or the span of the 677 00:40:12,335 --> 00:40:15,735 Speaker 3: bearers means that there's insufficient support and that you're adding 678 00:40:15,775 --> 00:40:20,215 Speaker 3: more piles because there's insufficient support and strength in the 679 00:40:20,455 --> 00:40:24,855 Speaker 3: joists or in the existing bearers, then maybe there's a logical, 680 00:40:24,975 --> 00:40:27,495 Speaker 3: rational explanation. But I would have thought that if the 681 00:40:27,575 --> 00:40:29,895 Speaker 3: joys were of a reasonable size, so even at a 682 00:40:29,935 --> 00:40:33,015 Speaker 3: four meter span, if they were a six er two 683 00:40:33,095 --> 00:40:37,455 Speaker 3: so one forty or one fifty by forty five joyst, 684 00:40:37,535 --> 00:40:41,575 Speaker 3: you would get at least a one point almost two 685 00:40:41,615 --> 00:40:44,095 Speaker 3: meter span out of those. Typically it's two point two meters, 686 00:40:45,815 --> 00:40:47,815 Speaker 3: in which case you got three rows of bearers and 687 00:40:47,815 --> 00:40:50,095 Speaker 3: if you put your piles at two meter centers, so 688 00:40:50,135 --> 00:40:52,655 Speaker 3: one at two, that sort of thing you'd get there. 689 00:40:52,735 --> 00:40:54,695 Speaker 3: So I think it's just a question going back to 690 00:40:54,735 --> 00:40:58,255 Speaker 3: the contract and going why twenty five. I think it 691 00:40:58,295 --> 00:41:00,815 Speaker 3: could be less and have a look at screw piles. 692 00:41:00,855 --> 00:41:04,215 Speaker 3: There's also a driven pile called wild War that might 693 00:41:04,255 --> 00:41:06,295 Speaker 3: be worth looking at. All the best of you, Chris. 694 00:41:06,295 --> 00:41:12,135 Speaker 3: We will come back about fireplaces and clating and fixing 695 00:41:12,175 --> 00:41:15,455 Speaker 3: your TV brackets seems to have generated a bit of 696 00:41:15,455 --> 00:41:17,215 Speaker 3: interest on the text machine, so we'll come back with 697 00:41:17,255 --> 00:41:19,695 Speaker 3: that after New Sport and we're the top there are 698 00:41:19,735 --> 00:41:20,495 Speaker 3: at seven back the. 699 00:41:20,495 --> 00:41:36,055 Speaker 1: Month, turning O's into She'll be right The Resident Builder 700 00:41:36,255 --> 00:41:40,215 Speaker 1: with Peter Wolfcamp and Independent Building Supplies a future of 701 00:41:40,295 --> 00:41:45,495 Speaker 1: Kiwi Building Today. Call eight hundred eighty ten eighty News talksb. 702 00:41:45,855 --> 00:41:47,935 Speaker 3: Well, very good morning, welcome back to the program. Oh 703 00:41:47,975 --> 00:41:50,575 Speaker 3: eight hundred eighty ten eighty is the number to call 704 00:41:50,895 --> 00:41:53,455 Speaker 3: for the Resident Builder on Sunday. That's me peek Off 705 00:41:53,495 --> 00:41:56,295 Speaker 3: Camp with you right through till eight o'clock or nine o'clock. 706 00:41:56,335 --> 00:41:58,455 Speaker 3: Let's go through in nine. We used to go through 707 00:41:58,495 --> 00:42:00,775 Speaker 3: to eight o'clock. You know, back in the day, see 708 00:42:00,815 --> 00:42:05,735 Speaker 3: even lock. My producers slightly removed by this. Yes, when 709 00:42:05,735 --> 00:42:08,975 Speaker 3: I first started doing the show, which actually is coming 710 00:42:09,055 --> 00:42:13,215 Speaker 3: up quite a while ago, now, we used to go 711 00:42:13,255 --> 00:42:15,735 Speaker 3: through eight. We did six to eight, and then of 712 00:42:15,735 --> 00:42:19,135 Speaker 3: course along came that whole COVID thing, and there used 713 00:42:19,175 --> 00:42:21,775 Speaker 3: to be a sports program. It's pretty tough doing a 714 00:42:21,815 --> 00:42:25,095 Speaker 3: sports program when you can't play any sports. So it 715 00:42:25,215 --> 00:42:27,455 Speaker 3: was a call from the boss. He went, look, just 716 00:42:27,615 --> 00:42:30,175 Speaker 3: could you help us out sort of and go through 717 00:42:30,175 --> 00:42:32,655 Speaker 3: it all nine. I was okay, and we've never gone back, 718 00:42:32,775 --> 00:42:34,775 Speaker 3: Thank you very much. Oh eight hundred and eighty, ten 719 00:42:34,895 --> 00:42:37,895 Speaker 3: eighty is that number to call? Seven past seven. So 720 00:42:38,015 --> 00:42:40,135 Speaker 3: on the program this morning, we talked about fireplace, we 721 00:42:40,215 --> 00:42:42,975 Speaker 3: talked about bricks. We've talked about rotten window frames, we 722 00:42:43,095 --> 00:42:47,335 Speaker 3: talked about joinery that leaks, and we talked about tiny homes. 723 00:42:48,135 --> 00:42:51,855 Speaker 3: So Chris, who's buying a six by four meter cabin, 724 00:42:53,015 --> 00:42:55,255 Speaker 3: and the person who's looking at doing the piling has 725 00:42:55,255 --> 00:42:59,135 Speaker 3: suggested that he needs twenty five piles. I'm thinking he 726 00:42:59,175 --> 00:43:03,775 Speaker 3: probably needs possibly twelve, maybe sixteen, but I'm struggling to 727 00:43:03,775 --> 00:43:06,575 Speaker 3: get to the twenty five unless, of course, the the 728 00:43:06,735 --> 00:43:09,855 Speaker 3: structure in the way that the floor has been built 729 00:43:10,135 --> 00:43:15,335 Speaker 3: is essentially underspect and relies on those piles to support it. 730 00:43:15,375 --> 00:43:19,535 Speaker 3: So either way there may well be an explanation. And 731 00:43:19,615 --> 00:43:22,535 Speaker 3: if the contractor is suitably experienced and they've looked at 732 00:43:22,575 --> 00:43:24,775 Speaker 3: it and said you need twenty five, or you listen 733 00:43:24,815 --> 00:43:27,535 Speaker 3: to that it is slowly odd that it's an odd 734 00:43:27,695 --> 00:43:32,255 Speaker 3: number on it. Five by five seems like an awful 735 00:43:32,255 --> 00:43:35,895 Speaker 3: lot of piles. Either way, we can talk about all 736 00:43:35,935 --> 00:43:41,055 Speaker 3: of your issues, whether they are cladding, whether they are foundational, 737 00:43:41,095 --> 00:43:44,175 Speaker 3: whether they are related to contractors and repairs. We can 738 00:43:44,215 --> 00:43:47,135 Speaker 3: talk about that on the program. Speaking about cladding, Actually 739 00:43:47,135 --> 00:43:49,895 Speaker 3: there was this great text a little while ago. Morning Pete. 740 00:43:49,895 --> 00:43:53,175 Speaker 3: We're keen on purchasing a property. The exterior cladding is 741 00:43:53,175 --> 00:43:57,535 Speaker 3: a treatment called now, my apologies for the pronunciation. I 742 00:43:57,535 --> 00:43:59,775 Speaker 3: should know this because it's a very popular technique, but 743 00:43:59,815 --> 00:44:03,415 Speaker 3: I'm a little unfamiliar with the language show Sugi bah. 744 00:44:03,615 --> 00:44:08,415 Speaker 3: I think it is now design. What it is essentially 745 00:44:08,575 --> 00:44:12,175 Speaker 3: is you take timber and you burn the surface of it. 746 00:44:13,415 --> 00:44:17,055 Speaker 3: So either by having like a special kiln or a 747 00:44:17,055 --> 00:44:20,615 Speaker 3: special fireplace you can do it, or laboriously with a 748 00:44:20,655 --> 00:44:23,455 Speaker 3: gas torch and simply burn the surface of the timber. 749 00:44:23,895 --> 00:44:27,895 Speaker 3: What that does is that it basically closes off the 750 00:44:27,935 --> 00:44:31,975 Speaker 3: capillaries in the timber and effectively acts as a timber preservative. 751 00:44:32,055 --> 00:44:34,535 Speaker 3: But it's natural in the sense that it's just fire. 752 00:44:34,935 --> 00:44:38,335 Speaker 3: So that's sho sugi buh. It's been done by the 753 00:44:38,335 --> 00:44:41,815 Speaker 3: builder on demolition larch and is a vertical weatherboard. The 754 00:44:41,815 --> 00:44:44,495 Speaker 3: house is five years old, it's in a high wind 755 00:44:44,695 --> 00:44:47,135 Speaker 3: coastal zone. The charring does not seem to have worn 756 00:44:47,215 --> 00:44:51,975 Speaker 3: differently in different areas of the house. Have any experience 757 00:44:52,015 --> 00:44:55,055 Speaker 3: with this and what are your views considering New Zealand's climate. 758 00:44:55,215 --> 00:45:00,935 Speaker 3: Thanks from Moira Moira, it's a great question. Given that 759 00:45:00,975 --> 00:45:04,415 Speaker 3: the house is five years old, the builder or the 760 00:45:04,455 --> 00:45:08,615 Speaker 3: supplier of the timber must of provided evidence that the 761 00:45:09,135 --> 00:45:12,935 Speaker 3: cladding would comply with the requirements of does it be 762 00:45:13,135 --> 00:45:16,735 Speaker 3: two of the Building Code in terms of durability, so 763 00:45:16,815 --> 00:45:19,535 Speaker 3: it should have a minimum or it has to have 764 00:45:19,655 --> 00:45:25,615 Speaker 3: a minimum requirement to remain weather tight four fifteen years. 765 00:45:26,535 --> 00:45:30,655 Speaker 3: So I would dig down through the documentation to find 766 00:45:31,935 --> 00:45:34,655 Speaker 3: probably the record of work from the original builder or 767 00:45:34,655 --> 00:45:41,335 Speaker 3: the installer and some evidence from the cladding supplier that 768 00:45:41,455 --> 00:45:43,975 Speaker 3: their product is compliant with the Building code in terms 769 00:45:43,975 --> 00:45:47,735 Speaker 3: of durability, and if you've got that then you should 770 00:45:47,735 --> 00:45:51,895 Speaker 3: be reasonably confident that it will comply. I've never used it, 771 00:45:52,335 --> 00:45:55,255 Speaker 3: I've been intrigued by it. I've seen it used on 772 00:45:55,295 --> 00:46:00,015 Speaker 3: other projects, so it strikes me as a really interesting 773 00:46:00,095 --> 00:46:03,255 Speaker 3: I mean, where it comes from a Japan It's been 774 00:46:03,415 --> 00:46:07,215 Speaker 3: used there for literally hundreds of years of treating timber. 775 00:46:07,655 --> 00:46:12,135 Speaker 3: So as long as there's the New Zealand based documentation 776 00:46:12,375 --> 00:46:17,335 Speaker 3: for it, I think it wouldn't be a flat out 777 00:46:17,335 --> 00:46:19,495 Speaker 3: note from me or far from It could actually be 778 00:46:19,575 --> 00:46:22,495 Speaker 3: really cool. And the large the fact that it's a 779 00:46:22,575 --> 00:46:25,255 Speaker 3: vertical weatherboard, you'd want to look at how those joints 780 00:46:25,335 --> 00:46:31,695 Speaker 3: are detailed, and possibly to the builder might have taken 781 00:46:31,735 --> 00:46:34,455 Speaker 3: the approach that, in effect, the cladding is simply a 782 00:46:34,615 --> 00:46:40,015 Speaker 3: rain screen, so most of their weather tightness is in 783 00:46:40,135 --> 00:46:45,335 Speaker 3: their wraps underneath that. So even if there's a little 784 00:46:45,335 --> 00:46:48,815 Speaker 3: bit of moisture ingress through the cladding, it won't impact 785 00:46:48,855 --> 00:46:51,935 Speaker 3: on the building durability because of the wraps behind it. 786 00:46:51,975 --> 00:46:54,175 Speaker 3: But then again, this goes back to my early comment 787 00:46:54,215 --> 00:46:59,215 Speaker 3: about systems and processes, So if it was designed that 788 00:46:59,255 --> 00:47:01,495 Speaker 3: way from the get go, so I'm going to use 789 00:47:01,695 --> 00:47:04,375 Speaker 3: this type of framing, this type of rigid EA barrier, 790 00:47:04,415 --> 00:47:07,815 Speaker 3: potentially this type of rap, these types of tapes, this 791 00:47:07,895 --> 00:47:10,615 Speaker 3: type of cavity batteren and then that type of cladding. 792 00:47:11,815 --> 00:47:15,975 Speaker 3: And I'm going to be particularly diligent around my wraps 793 00:47:15,975 --> 00:47:18,375 Speaker 3: and so on, because I realized that in this situation 794 00:47:18,815 --> 00:47:21,615 Speaker 3: I might not quite get to the weather tightness that 795 00:47:21,655 --> 00:47:24,535 Speaker 3: I would expect of other clatting types. Or I'm going 796 00:47:24,535 --> 00:47:28,455 Speaker 3: to mitigate, minimize and manage the risk by doing this 797 00:47:28,535 --> 00:47:31,215 Speaker 3: other work. So if that's all in the drawings, then 798 00:47:31,375 --> 00:47:34,615 Speaker 3: I feel reasonably confident about it. But get a building 799 00:47:34,615 --> 00:47:36,455 Speaker 3: inspector to have a look at it. Oh, eight hundred 800 00:47:36,455 --> 00:47:39,015 Speaker 3: and eighty ten eighty is the number to call. Another 801 00:47:39,055 --> 00:47:41,015 Speaker 3: quick one just before we go someone we were talking 802 00:47:41,015 --> 00:47:44,255 Speaker 3: about TV brackets. Someone who wants to install sixty five 803 00:47:44,255 --> 00:47:45,975 Speaker 3: ins TV. We don't have to go on about the 804 00:47:46,015 --> 00:47:51,335 Speaker 3: size onto the wall. And it's a steel stud, so 805 00:47:52,175 --> 00:47:53,975 Speaker 3: you know, in terms of screwing into a steel stud, 806 00:47:54,015 --> 00:47:58,095 Speaker 3: it's a little different obviously to timber. Particular types of 807 00:47:58,135 --> 00:48:01,415 Speaker 3: screws work well, others don't work as well. Don't overtalk 808 00:48:01,455 --> 00:48:04,095 Speaker 3: it someone else's texture and said, look, also, don't just 809 00:48:04,175 --> 00:48:05,935 Speaker 3: rely on the holes that are in the bracket, Like 810 00:48:06,015 --> 00:48:08,455 Speaker 3: if you need to put in some extra fixings, just 811 00:48:08,535 --> 00:48:10,775 Speaker 3: drill through the bracket and add some more screws. And 812 00:48:10,815 --> 00:48:14,375 Speaker 3: I'm guessing too that sometimes you know where the holes 813 00:48:14,375 --> 00:48:16,535 Speaker 3: are in the bracket don't line up with the studs 814 00:48:16,575 --> 00:48:18,535 Speaker 3: in terms of if you want the TV to be 815 00:48:18,615 --> 00:48:21,295 Speaker 3: over one hundred mil. So, yeah, drilling some extra holes 816 00:48:21,295 --> 00:48:24,215 Speaker 3: in the bracket is okay. I think, oh, eight hundred 817 00:48:24,295 --> 00:48:29,135 Speaker 3: eighty eighty self tapping screws is the word there. We'll 818 00:48:29,135 --> 00:48:32,375 Speaker 3: talk about fireplaces and jeeinery a little bit later on, 819 00:48:32,415 --> 00:48:34,855 Speaker 3: but right now, Eve, thank you for waiting, and good morning. 820 00:48:35,295 --> 00:48:37,775 Speaker 2: Oh, thank you for taking my call. Good morning, Peter. 821 00:48:38,495 --> 00:48:42,215 Speaker 2: I just had to have a very simple question. Sure, 822 00:48:42,815 --> 00:48:49,295 Speaker 2: it's a long, long driveway. Yes, yeah, poor houses, it's 823 00:48:49,335 --> 00:48:52,335 Speaker 2: the end of your long driveway and the first house 824 00:48:52,415 --> 00:48:54,975 Speaker 2: and there's another house. We are not attached, is the 825 00:48:55,015 --> 00:48:59,175 Speaker 2: cross of these titles, and now buy the driveway. There's 826 00:48:59,255 --> 00:49:04,015 Speaker 2: another house. So there's another house next to the driveway. Yep, okay, 827 00:49:04,415 --> 00:49:09,495 Speaker 2: then we be number eight and number B or sharing 828 00:49:09,655 --> 00:49:13,575 Speaker 2: the driveway. Only two houses sharing the driveway. And what 829 00:49:13,735 --> 00:49:18,055 Speaker 2: happened was the the fences fell down a bit like 830 00:49:18,335 --> 00:49:22,455 Speaker 2: maybe about three meters or four meters okay, not fell 831 00:49:22,535 --> 00:49:25,095 Speaker 2: down to the ground, but fill down the halfway, so 832 00:49:25,135 --> 00:49:29,335 Speaker 2: it's not it's not convenient to drive, you know, it 833 00:49:29,455 --> 00:49:33,775 Speaker 2: still can pass through, but still not convenient. And I 834 00:49:33,775 --> 00:49:38,735 Speaker 2: would I thought three houses should share the fence. I 835 00:49:38,775 --> 00:49:42,495 Speaker 2: don't know, I don't know exactly legally, okay, and suddenly 836 00:49:42,735 --> 00:49:47,495 Speaker 2: asking you because the one of the the neighbor next 837 00:49:47,535 --> 00:49:50,535 Speaker 2: to the fence, and she is not using the driver, 838 00:49:50,695 --> 00:49:54,855 Speaker 2: she's she will share, and then but the one next 839 00:49:54,855 --> 00:50:01,375 Speaker 2: to me be using the driver. She thinks it's only 840 00:50:01,735 --> 00:50:06,095 Speaker 2: the neighbor next to the fence the neighbor should pay, 841 00:50:06,415 --> 00:50:12,255 Speaker 2: not us, right to your opinion, So this is. 842 00:50:12,255 --> 00:50:14,295 Speaker 3: An issue about the fact that the fence has come 843 00:50:14,335 --> 00:50:17,815 Speaker 3: down needs repair, and it's who has to pay for that, 844 00:50:18,255 --> 00:50:21,815 Speaker 3: and if it's so funny. We talked about this a 845 00:50:21,815 --> 00:50:24,015 Speaker 3: little while ago on the show, and I guess I'd 846 00:50:24,055 --> 00:50:27,575 Speaker 3: always looked at it as being whoever the affected party is right. 847 00:50:27,655 --> 00:50:32,735 Speaker 3: So if the fence is shared between yourself and the 848 00:50:32,855 --> 00:50:35,215 Speaker 3: neighbor on the other side of the boundary, which might 849 00:50:35,255 --> 00:50:38,495 Speaker 3: be that the person that has rights to the driveway, 850 00:50:40,135 --> 00:50:43,735 Speaker 3: it could actually be where the fence has fallen over 851 00:50:43,895 --> 00:50:48,495 Speaker 3: the property owners on both sides of that. Plus, because 852 00:50:48,535 --> 00:50:52,535 Speaker 3: it's a cross lease, the neighboring owner may have to contribute, 853 00:50:53,055 --> 00:50:56,615 Speaker 3: and then if someone is using the driveway to access 854 00:50:56,655 --> 00:51:03,535 Speaker 3: and other property, they will need to contribute as well. 855 00:51:04,615 --> 00:51:09,015 Speaker 3: It doesn't sound particularly clear it but that's it could 856 00:51:09,095 --> 00:51:12,655 Speaker 3: be more than just the affected parties potentially. 857 00:51:13,775 --> 00:51:19,055 Speaker 2: Okay, so tool houses using the driveway, and so the 858 00:51:19,135 --> 00:51:24,015 Speaker 2: two houses your share, right, yes? Okay, Now the one 859 00:51:24,535 --> 00:51:28,455 Speaker 2: is a neighbor, she is now using the They have 860 00:51:28,535 --> 00:51:33,135 Speaker 2: their own driveway, they don't use ours, and we don't share. 861 00:51:34,415 --> 00:51:38,055 Speaker 2: We don't share the tight don't share the land, so 862 00:51:38,135 --> 00:51:40,775 Speaker 2: that the share as well. 863 00:51:40,935 --> 00:51:45,015 Speaker 3: But is the fence on the boundary between the two 864 00:51:45,095 --> 00:51:48,815 Speaker 3: properties or is the fence within the cross least title? 865 00:51:50,535 --> 00:51:52,975 Speaker 3: Like sometimes what happens is you've got the driveway and 866 00:51:53,015 --> 00:51:56,535 Speaker 3: you've got the section next to it, and the driveway 867 00:51:56,655 --> 00:51:59,015 Speaker 3: goes down so that the person at the bat can 868 00:51:59,015 --> 00:52:02,695 Speaker 3: get access and there's a fence around the cross one 869 00:52:02,735 --> 00:52:05,575 Speaker 3: of the units. Is it that fence that's fallen over 870 00:52:05,735 --> 00:52:08,815 Speaker 3: or is it a fence that's actually between two properties 871 00:52:10,455 --> 00:52:12,095 Speaker 3: and between two driveways. 872 00:52:12,615 --> 00:52:18,935 Speaker 2: The driveway belonged to on me and my neighbour's property. Yes, 873 00:52:19,095 --> 00:52:24,255 Speaker 2: now we both use the driveway to use a driveway, okay, yep, 874 00:52:24,335 --> 00:52:28,375 Speaker 2: But there is a neighbor who is not using the 875 00:52:28,495 --> 00:52:33,055 Speaker 2: driveway at all, but who is sharing the fence with us. 876 00:52:32,855 --> 00:52:37,015 Speaker 3: Okay, then they will need to contribute as well. Look, 877 00:52:37,095 --> 00:52:39,615 Speaker 3: it might be one of those things. If people are 878 00:52:39,655 --> 00:52:43,695 Speaker 3: reluctant to pay, or it's difficult to sort of explain 879 00:52:43,735 --> 00:52:46,135 Speaker 3: to them why they need to pay, you may need 880 00:52:46,215 --> 00:52:48,215 Speaker 3: to go to a lawyer or get a bit of 881 00:52:48,295 --> 00:52:51,215 Speaker 3: legal advice, someone who can look at the title, look 882 00:52:51,215 --> 00:52:55,415 Speaker 3: at the cross lease, determine who the parties are and 883 00:52:55,455 --> 00:52:57,855 Speaker 3: then send them Because in order to get money out 884 00:52:57,895 --> 00:53:02,175 Speaker 3: of someone for repairs or replacement of offence, you have 885 00:53:02,215 --> 00:53:04,615 Speaker 3: to go to the Fencing Act and then there's a 886 00:53:04,855 --> 00:53:09,695 Speaker 3: sort of a prescribed process which includes issuing a letter 887 00:53:10,455 --> 00:53:14,575 Speaker 3: to the other party explaining why does they need to contribute, 888 00:53:14,655 --> 00:53:17,255 Speaker 3: how much they're going to have to contribute, and then 889 00:53:17,375 --> 00:53:20,575 Speaker 3: that becomes enforceable. But you have to issue the letter 890 00:53:21,055 --> 00:53:25,575 Speaker 3: in order to get any money or contribution from anyone else. 891 00:53:25,655 --> 00:53:29,535 Speaker 3: So the Fencing Act and the letter is really really important. 892 00:53:30,135 --> 00:53:33,775 Speaker 2: And the neighbor who is not using the driveway or 893 00:53:34,295 --> 00:53:38,215 Speaker 2: is agreed to pay. Yes, Actually, there's no doubt when 894 00:53:38,255 --> 00:53:41,895 Speaker 2: I mentioned to her and she said, okay, she understands. 895 00:53:42,055 --> 00:53:45,695 Speaker 2: Okay now, but then when I as talk to my 896 00:53:45,855 --> 00:53:49,295 Speaker 2: neighbor who is using the driveway with me, we are 897 00:53:49,335 --> 00:53:50,055 Speaker 2: on the SAT. 898 00:53:51,175 --> 00:53:53,615 Speaker 3: They think it's your fence to repair. 899 00:53:54,015 --> 00:53:58,095 Speaker 2: Yeah, well, she said, we shouldn't pay for that. You 900 00:53:58,335 --> 00:54:02,415 Speaker 2: think the neighbor who is not using the driver should 901 00:54:02,415 --> 00:54:05,095 Speaker 2: pay for it, right, So yeah. 902 00:54:05,375 --> 00:54:07,415 Speaker 3: I think in the end it's it depends a little 903 00:54:07,455 --> 00:54:11,175 Speaker 3: bit on the nature of your cross lease agreement. They 904 00:54:11,215 --> 00:54:14,455 Speaker 3: may well need to contribute because they're part of the crossley, 905 00:54:14,615 --> 00:54:17,735 Speaker 3: so they're part of Effectively, you own their property and 906 00:54:17,775 --> 00:54:20,455 Speaker 3: they own yours, and therefore they may need to contribute 907 00:54:20,495 --> 00:54:23,895 Speaker 3: because it's a cross lease property. But again, in order 908 00:54:23,975 --> 00:54:25,615 Speaker 3: to get that tied up, I think you need to 909 00:54:25,615 --> 00:54:28,615 Speaker 3: get some decent legal advice and then issue a letter 910 00:54:28,975 --> 00:54:31,455 Speaker 3: under the Fencing Act and then ask for a contribution 911 00:54:31,575 --> 00:54:35,935 Speaker 3: from there. Hope it all goes well. Oh eight hundred eighty, 912 00:54:36,015 --> 00:54:37,975 Speaker 3: thank you very much for you.

We've 918 00:54:51,335 --> 00:54:53,495 Speaker 3: just found out that the fire isn't in an eight 919 00:54:53,575 --> 00:54:57,095 Speaker 3: year old home, is a natural gas version and we've 920 00:54:57,175 --> 00:55:00,175 Speaker 3: always been on LPG. We've had trouble with it for years. 921 00:55:00,175 --> 00:55:02,055 Speaker 3: But I'm wondering if this is dangerous and should the 922 00:55:02,095 --> 00:55:05,295 Speaker 3: build company have to rectify it even after this long 923 00:55:08,495 --> 00:55:13,335 Speaker 3: eight years. You could try, I mean, certainly from my 924 00:55:13,455 --> 00:55:18,615 Speaker 3: understanding is that it's the basically, there's a valve or 925 00:55:18,615 --> 00:55:21,095 Speaker 3: the burner or that sort of thing that you have 926 00:55:21,135 --> 00:55:26,655 Speaker 3: to change. The fireplace itself can use either natural gas 927 00:55:26,775 --> 00:55:32,175 Speaker 3: or LPG, but it's the I don't do enough of 928 00:55:32,215 --> 00:55:35,455 Speaker 3: this to know exactly, but it's the burner basically that 929 00:55:35,535 --> 00:55:39,175 Speaker 3: has to be changed. And yes, you're right, they should 930 00:55:39,175 --> 00:55:41,775 Speaker 3: have known that at the time if they knew, unless 931 00:55:41,815 --> 00:55:44,055 Speaker 3: the person who installed the fire wasn't aware that it 932 00:55:44,095 --> 00:55:46,815 Speaker 3: was going to run on LPG and that was a 933 00:55:46,855 --> 00:55:50,055 Speaker 3: decision made by somebody later on and didn't talk to 934 00:55:50,095 --> 00:55:53,015 Speaker 3: the original installer. But either way, I'm sure it can 935 00:55:53,055 --> 00:55:56,295 Speaker 3: be rectified. I try the company see if they can 936 00:55:56,335 --> 00:55:59,135 Speaker 3: help out.

And for our customers as well, 984 00:58:20,695 --> 00:58:23,495 Speaker 9: you know, they can pick up Tribald from any major 985 00:58:24,095 --> 00:58:26,575 Speaker 9: hardware shop and any local builder will be able to 986 00:58:26,615 --> 00:58:29,775 Speaker 9: sort of dosepectives or modifications that they need. 987 00:58:30,095 --> 00:58:34,655 Speaker 3: So obviously durability structural performance really important when you're working 988 00:58:34,775 --> 00:58:37,975 Speaker 3: in these compact, multifunctional spaces. How does that work for you? 989 00:58:38,975 --> 00:58:41,775 Speaker 9: Yeah, it's critical because you know, we can build a 990 00:58:41,855 --> 00:58:45,295 Speaker 9: very large they say six meters by six stem meters 991 00:58:45,335 --> 00:58:49,055 Speaker 9: tiny home that's about thirteen or fourteen tons, So as 992 00:58:49,095 --> 00:58:52,855 Speaker 9: it's transported around the country and sitting strapped to the 993 00:58:52,855 --> 00:58:55,215 Speaker 9: truck and the truck is trying to twist and tear 994 00:58:55,255 --> 00:58:57,055 Speaker 9: it and bend it because of the roads and the 995 00:58:57,055 --> 00:58:59,975 Speaker 9: conditions that the house has sort of used to get 996 00:59:00,015 --> 00:59:04,415 Speaker 9: to where it's going. Narrow roads, twisting, tight canvas. So 997 00:59:04,815 --> 00:59:06,655 Speaker 9: what we find, and this is one of the we 998 00:59:06,735 --> 00:59:10,295 Speaker 9: love triborders, that by the time the house wives there's 999 00:59:10,335 --> 00:59:12,535 Speaker 9: almost no damage at all. And that is that we 1000 00:59:12,575 --> 00:59:14,855 Speaker 9: don't have to send our painters down to in Chicago 1001 00:59:15,255 --> 00:59:18,095 Speaker 9: to paint something because the Tribord has held up and 1002 00:59:18,175 --> 00:59:21,815 Speaker 9: maintained its rigidity and it's look and feel as it's 1003 00:59:21,815 --> 00:59:22,775 Speaker 9: traveled through the country. 1004 00:59:23,415 --> 00:59:25,855 Speaker 3: So the fact you're transporting these that's one of the 1005 00:59:25,855 --> 00:59:28,655 Speaker 3: big design challenges and I guess that's where the Triboard 1006 00:59:29,335 --> 00:59:30,055 Speaker 3: pays for itself. 1007 00:59:30,615 --> 00:59:32,135 Speaker 9: Yeah, exactly, it's a no brainer. 1008 00:59:32,415 --> 00:59:32,615 Speaker 8: Yeah. 1009 00:59:32,895 --> 00:59:35,575 Speaker 3: Hey. Now, finally, if someone's considering a tiny home for 1010 00:59:35,615 --> 00:59:38,535 Speaker 3: the first time, because there's a lot to choose from, 1011 00:59:38,575 --> 00:59:40,895 Speaker 3: what's a piece of advice that you give them before 1012 00:59:40,935 --> 00:59:41,735 Speaker 3: they get started. 1013 00:59:42,415 --> 00:59:45,615 Speaker 9: You know, that's a very good question because there is 1014 00:59:45,655 --> 00:59:48,015 Speaker 9: a lot of interest and we're seeing a huge uptick 1015 00:59:48,175 --> 00:59:51,215 Speaker 9: and the people contacting us, particularly after the granny flat 1016 00:59:51,255 --> 00:59:55,975 Speaker 9: legislation earlier this year. So our recommendation is to do 1017 00:59:56,015 --> 01:00:00,135 Speaker 9: your research, try not to make a hasty decision.

Every 1037 01:01:00,615 --> 01:01:04,695 Speaker 3: now and then people try and text through photographs. Doesn't work. 1038 01:01:04,735 --> 01:01:06,535 Speaker 3: I know it works on your phone and and all 1039 01:01:06,535 --> 01:01:09,455 Speaker 3: the rest of it doesn't work for our system because 1040 01:01:09,495 --> 01:01:11,695 Speaker 3: as it happens, the texts come onto a screen and 1041 01:01:12,615 --> 01:01:15,415 Speaker 3: I don't know why it doesn't work. So if you 1042 01:01:15,415 --> 01:01:17,255 Speaker 3: need to see me a photograph, you need to attach 1043 01:01:17,295 --> 01:01:19,495 Speaker 3: it to an email and send it to me at 1044 01:01:19,535 --> 01:01:24,095 Speaker 3: Pete atnewstuxib dot co dot nz. Because for some things 1045 01:01:24,095 --> 01:01:27,095 Speaker 3: that's kind of helpful and even trying to work our 1046 01:01:27,095 --> 01:01:31,015 Speaker 3: way through Janine Jenny's issue in terms of finding a 1047 01:01:31,055 --> 01:01:33,455 Speaker 3: leak in the French doors, like one person's text through 1048 01:01:33,495 --> 01:01:36,175 Speaker 3: and said, hey, look, we had a persistent leak in 1049 01:01:36,215 --> 01:01:39,175 Speaker 3: some joinery turned out to be the glass seal or 1050 01:01:39,175 --> 01:01:42,615 Speaker 3: the rubber seal around the glass. That might be true, 1051 01:01:42,695 --> 01:01:47,895 Speaker 3: for example, in aluminium jowinery. In timber joinery, it's possible 1052 01:01:47,975 --> 01:01:50,735 Speaker 3: to get leaking through the glazing, but it's pretty uncommon, 1053 01:01:50,775 --> 01:01:53,335 Speaker 3: to be fair, and if you do, you'll see it 1054 01:01:53,455 --> 01:01:56,575 Speaker 3: just as beating on the inside of the sash at 1055 01:01:56,575 --> 01:02:00,255 Speaker 3: the bottom. But in terms of a leak that'll get 1056 01:02:00,295 --> 01:02:04,775 Speaker 3: through the framing and be seen on the inside cladding 1057 01:02:04,815 --> 01:02:07,215 Speaker 3: on the rather on the inside lining like the plaster 1058 01:02:07,295 --> 01:02:09,735 Speaker 3: board and so on, it's probably not coming through the 1059 01:02:10,335 --> 01:02:14,535 Speaker 3: glazing as such in that instant, so but appreciate the 1060 01:02:14,575 --> 01:02:17,215 Speaker 3: texts on that, and a couple of other good questioning 1061 01:02:17,375 --> 01:02:19,975 Speaker 3: texts that have come through as well. I'm not sure 1062 01:02:20,095 --> 01:02:22,735 Speaker 3: I can ask rud about this, but this sounds might 1063 01:02:23,095 --> 01:02:25,575 Speaker 3: feel like a question more for him. Our neighbors who 1064 01:02:25,615 --> 01:02:28,495 Speaker 3: feed the birds bread and other scraps the birds are 1065 01:02:28,535 --> 01:02:32,015 Speaker 3: leaving Pooh all over the dechromastic tiles and a certain 1066 01:02:32,135 --> 01:02:34,735 Speaker 3: spot I guess they gather their waiting for their dinner. 1067 01:02:35,815 --> 01:02:37,335 Speaker 3: What can I clean that mess off with? 1068 01:02:37,415 --> 01:02:40,215 Speaker 4: Thanks? 1069 01:02:41,735 --> 01:02:45,335 Speaker 3: It's a very good question. I'm thinking any household cleaner 1070 01:02:45,375 --> 01:02:48,695 Speaker 3: would probably take care of it. It's just the hassle 1071 01:02:48,735 --> 01:02:51,815 Speaker 3: of having to get close to or onto the roof 1072 01:02:51,895 --> 01:02:56,855 Speaker 3: in order to remove it would be the issue. And 1073 01:02:57,255 --> 01:02:59,775 Speaker 3: on deck romastico, I guess because it's not a smooth surface, 1074 01:02:59,815 --> 01:03:02,735 Speaker 3: there's lots of little nooks and crannies and crevices for 1075 01:03:02,815 --> 01:03:07,775 Speaker 3: that to it here too. But I regular exterior cleaner, 1076 01:03:08,255 --> 01:03:11,775 Speaker 3: housewash that sort of thing will certainly take care of that. 1077 01:03:11,855 --> 01:03:15,775 Speaker 3: But I can also understand your frustration there, Pet, just 1078 01:03:15,775 --> 01:03:17,935 Speaker 3: because the person doesn't share the driveway, but they do 1079 01:03:17,975 --> 01:03:19,775 Speaker 3: share the fence, they'll have to pay a portion of 1080 01:03:19,815 --> 01:03:23,815 Speaker 3: the repair. I know someone else who experience exactly that scenario, 1081 01:03:23,935 --> 01:03:26,575 Speaker 3: and it's from Rosy, so that I think that's that 1082 01:03:26,655 --> 01:03:31,215 Speaker 3: whole thing. Where cross leases, the rules and regulations are 1083 01:03:31,255 --> 01:03:33,975 Speaker 3: slightly different too if you had a fee simple title 1084 01:03:34,015 --> 01:03:40,215 Speaker 3: which is your own. So I think getting some proper 1085 01:03:40,295 --> 01:03:43,575 Speaker 3: legal advice is probably not a bad thing to do 1086 01:03:43,735 --> 01:03:47,415 Speaker 3: in this particular instance. A couple of other texts that 1087 01:03:47,455 --> 01:03:52,135 Speaker 3: have come through. Yeah, there you go. The lady is 1088 01:03:52,135 --> 01:03:55,295 Speaker 3: talking about the falling fence on the shared driveway. We've 1089 01:03:55,295 --> 01:03:57,335 Speaker 3: had the same issue our too. Units are on a 1090 01:03:57,335 --> 01:04:00,255 Speaker 3: cross lease and the rotten fence and missing timber is 1091 01:04:00,335 --> 01:04:03,455 Speaker 3: between our shared driveway and the neighbor on the other side. 1092 01:04:04,015 --> 01:04:06,375 Speaker 3: They and us know that we will all have to 1093 01:04:06,415 --> 01:04:09,615 Speaker 3: pay to fix it. Brilliant. Thank you very much for that. 1094 01:04:09,655 --> 01:04:12,495 Speaker 3: I appreciate the heads up your news talks. He'd be 1095 01:04:12,575 --> 01:04:15,135 Speaker 3: will talk to Tom in just a moment. It is seven 1096 01:04:15,135 --> 01:04:16,775 Speaker 3: p thirty two.

The number to call eight 1102 01:04:32,855 --> 01:04:37,175 Speaker 3: hundred eighty ten eighty seven thirty five Tom, Good morning, Good. 1103 01:04:37,055 --> 01:04:37,535 Speaker 8: Morning, Peter. 1104 01:04:39,135 --> 01:04:41,375 Speaker 16: Hi, I've got a question about guests and houses. 1105 01:04:41,495 --> 01:04:43,535 Speaker 3: Yeah, sure, was. 1106 01:04:45,015 --> 01:04:45,375 Speaker 8: Looked at it. 1107 01:04:45,375 --> 01:04:48,135 Speaker 16: I was looking at the house. Yes to possibly buy, yep. 1108 01:04:48,175 --> 01:04:52,655 Speaker 16: And it's got gas hot water, yes, just for the 1109 01:04:53,575 --> 01:04:56,455 Speaker 16: just for the shower. Its basically in the kitchen, I 1110 01:04:56,495 --> 01:05:00,655 Speaker 16: guess and I was wondering. I heard that the government 1111 01:05:00,775 --> 01:05:04,655 Speaker 16: was trying to phase out gas. So in your opinion, 1112 01:05:04,815 --> 01:05:10,455 Speaker 16: I mean think we will always have guests for available. 1113 01:05:13,975 --> 01:05:18,735 Speaker 3: I think when you say always, I would go that's 1114 01:05:18,775 --> 01:05:22,735 Speaker 3: a long long time, and I wouldn't actually be that 1115 01:05:22,855 --> 01:05:23,735 Speaker 3: confident in it. 1116 01:05:25,735 --> 01:05:28,895 Speaker 16: Well, I will say, perhaps of my lifetime. In the 1117 01:05:28,935 --> 01:05:31,695 Speaker 16: next so the lifetime I would have the house, so 1118 01:05:32,895 --> 01:05:34,455 Speaker 16: in another twenty years. 1119 01:05:34,455 --> 01:05:42,015 Speaker 3: So you can tell by the sort of hesitation of 1120 01:05:42,055 --> 01:05:46,775 Speaker 3: my voice. This is a really really fascinating issue at 1121 01:05:46,775 --> 01:05:49,815 Speaker 3: the moment in terms on a number of different levels. 1122 01:05:49,855 --> 01:05:55,655 Speaker 3: One in terms of renewables and energy efficient sources for 1123 01:05:55,775 --> 01:06:00,055 Speaker 3: heating and so on and so forth. So and I'm 1124 01:06:00,095 --> 01:06:03,055 Speaker 3: talking about someone. I'm speaking of someone who's got guess 1125 01:06:03,375 --> 01:06:07,255 Speaker 3: hot water, right. It was a system that we initially 1126 01:06:07,255 --> 01:06:09,615 Speaker 3: put in probably twenty five years ago when we were 1127 01:06:09,615 --> 01:06:13,575 Speaker 3: renovating the house. I like it in the sense that 1128 01:06:13,655 --> 01:06:15,615 Speaker 3: you've got in our case, we've got a califont on 1129 01:06:15,655 --> 01:06:19,335 Speaker 3: the outside of the building. It gives you continuous hot water, 1130 01:06:19,415 --> 01:06:21,415 Speaker 3: and if you happen to like a long shower and 1131 01:06:21,455 --> 01:06:26,175 Speaker 3: that sort of thing, that's great. It means that for 1132 01:06:26,495 --> 01:06:31,015 Speaker 3: older electric systems where you were heating and storing water 1133 01:06:31,335 --> 01:06:35,615 Speaker 3: that you might not necessarily be using. There's an inefficiency 1134 01:06:35,695 --> 01:06:39,215 Speaker 3: to that, right. You know, if I'm not using the water, 1135 01:06:39,295 --> 01:06:40,935 Speaker 3: if I'm out for the day or I'm out for 1136 01:06:40,975 --> 01:06:43,655 Speaker 3: a weekend or whatever, and my hot water cylinder is 1137 01:06:43,695 --> 01:06:46,535 Speaker 3: constantly reheating because it's cooling down and it's on, there's 1138 01:06:46,535 --> 01:06:49,855 Speaker 3: an efficiency to that. So at the time that I 1139 01:06:50,495 --> 01:06:53,055 Speaker 3: guess we made a decision to put gas on and 1140 01:06:53,095 --> 01:06:57,415 Speaker 3: to put on a califont, it made a lot of sense. 1141 01:06:57,695 --> 01:07:01,935 Speaker 3: Would I make the same choice today, No, I probably wouldn't, 1142 01:07:02,815 --> 01:07:06,015 Speaker 3: only because I still like it and it's still very 1143 01:07:06,295 --> 01:07:09,615 Speaker 3: effective for us. But if I look at what options 1144 01:07:09,615 --> 01:07:12,015 Speaker 3: there are in terms of heat pump, hot water and 1145 01:07:12,055 --> 01:07:18,695 Speaker 3: so on, so really high, highly efficient systems to generate water. 1146 01:07:18,975 --> 01:07:22,055 Speaker 3: If I look at modern water storage, you know they're 1147 01:07:22,135 --> 01:07:26,135 Speaker 3: much more insulated, they don't have the same heat loss issues. 1148 01:07:27,295 --> 01:07:30,935 Speaker 3: And of course I could then potentially power that from 1149 01:07:31,015 --> 01:07:34,215 Speaker 3: renewables in terms of electricity, or I could link that 1150 01:07:34,255 --> 01:07:41,935 Speaker 3: to solar, and that's a much more environmentally friendly, sustainable option, right, 1151 01:07:43,695 --> 01:07:47,015 Speaker 3: And look, we do obviously have issues in terms of 1152 01:07:47,015 --> 01:07:51,055 Speaker 3: gas supply. I was talking with. This is kind of 1153 01:07:51,175 --> 01:07:54,895 Speaker 3: tangential to what we're talking about, but a guy who's 1154 01:07:54,935 --> 01:08:00,015 Speaker 3: involved in manufacturing product out of aluminium. Now the off 1155 01:08:00,055 --> 01:08:05,615 Speaker 3: cut the manufacturer used to take the offcuts and they 1156 01:08:05,615 --> 01:08:09,855 Speaker 3: would fire up their own smelter basically on site in 1157 01:08:09,975 --> 01:08:13,415 Speaker 3: order to use the to use the offcuts, to recycle 1158 01:08:13,455 --> 01:08:17,335 Speaker 3: it and to make more extrusion. But because of gas 1159 01:08:17,375 --> 01:08:21,935 Speaker 3: supply issues, they can't do that at the moment. It's 1160 01:08:22,215 --> 01:08:25,015 Speaker 3: too costly, too difficult for them to do that, which 1161 01:08:25,055 --> 01:08:29,775 Speaker 3: means that that scrap material is being sold offshore for recycling. 1162 01:08:30,735 --> 01:08:34,415 Speaker 3: So you know, there's there's been a whole lot of 1163 01:08:34,455 --> 01:08:38,935 Speaker 3: stories about large companies not being able to use gas 1164 01:08:39,015 --> 01:08:42,375 Speaker 3: because there is insufficient supply. And then the argument goes, well, 1165 01:08:42,415 --> 01:08:46,215 Speaker 3: hang on, arguably it is more important that large companies 1166 01:08:46,295 --> 01:08:48,295 Speaker 3: get to use the gas, and you and I as 1167 01:08:48,375 --> 01:08:52,935 Speaker 3: residential consumers who have other options, should look at getting 1168 01:08:53,095 --> 01:08:53,775 Speaker 3: off gas. 1169 01:08:55,255 --> 01:08:55,535 Speaker 7: Right. 1170 01:08:56,775 --> 01:08:59,775 Speaker 3: Sorry, it's a slightly long winded response to your question, 1171 01:08:59,815 --> 01:09:02,095 Speaker 3: but you know, this is a really this is a 1172 01:09:02,135 --> 01:09:05,255 Speaker 3: genuine issue on a number of different levels for us 1173 01:09:05,255 --> 01:09:05,815 Speaker 3: at the moment. 1174 01:09:06,975 --> 01:09:09,735 Speaker 16: And do you when you're on Guess free lines on 1175 01:09:09,815 --> 01:09:11,375 Speaker 16: gas and electricity. 1176 01:09:10,975 --> 01:09:14,495 Speaker 15: Yes, she said that you have to pay two connection fees. 1177 01:09:14,535 --> 01:09:17,335 Speaker 8: One rerection fee that one conuction for the gas. 1178 01:09:17,575 --> 01:09:19,895 Speaker 3: Yeah, so if you're on main supply gas, there will 1179 01:09:19,895 --> 01:09:23,895 Speaker 3: be a connection fee. And I know some people recently 1180 01:09:23,935 --> 01:09:29,575 Speaker 3: who opted to remove their gas supply because they were 1181 01:09:29,655 --> 01:09:32,495 Speaker 3: basically paying more on their line charge than they were 1182 01:09:32,655 --> 01:09:35,215 Speaker 3: on actually the product that they were using the ie 1183 01:09:35,335 --> 01:09:36,175 Speaker 3: the gas. 1184 01:09:36,935 --> 01:09:39,215 Speaker 8: Right, and how much would it cost to. 1185 01:09:42,135 --> 01:09:44,695 Speaker 12: Do guess and charge it to electric system? 1186 01:09:44,735 --> 01:09:48,255 Speaker 3: You think, well, see, if you were going to go electric, 1187 01:09:48,375 --> 01:09:51,095 Speaker 3: you'd want to go the best possible system, right, and 1188 01:09:51,135 --> 01:09:55,815 Speaker 3: that's going to be a heat pump hot water system, 1189 01:09:56,695 --> 01:10:01,295 Speaker 3: which effectively makes it about three hundred percent efficient, right, 1190 01:10:01,415 --> 01:10:05,735 Speaker 3: so you it requires you get three hundred percent more 1191 01:10:05,935 --> 01:10:08,575 Speaker 3: energy out of the use of it. There's a whole 1192 01:10:08,575 --> 01:10:10,375 Speaker 3: lot of technical stuff around that, and I'm probably not 1193 01:10:10,415 --> 01:10:13,295 Speaker 3: explaining it particularly well, but it is. But those systems 1194 01:10:13,335 --> 01:10:17,975 Speaker 3: are then considerably more expensive than a regular outdoor electric 1195 01:10:18,055 --> 01:10:21,055 Speaker 3: hot water system. So you might do a swapover, let's say, 1196 01:10:21,055 --> 01:10:24,175 Speaker 3: from gas to electric. If everything's in this in the 1197 01:10:24,215 --> 01:10:27,135 Speaker 3: same location for sort of three to four thousand, you 1198 01:10:27,215 --> 01:10:29,655 Speaker 3: might be spending close to ten thousand dollars if you 1199 01:10:29,695 --> 01:10:32,375 Speaker 3: wanted to put a heat pump hot water in possibly 1200 01:10:32,415 --> 01:10:36,295 Speaker 3: a bit less but you know it would be significant, 1201 01:10:36,335 --> 01:10:38,655 Speaker 3: but it would. And then I guess too, you'd look 1202 01:10:38,695 --> 01:10:43,375 Speaker 3: at what you're using the gas. So for example, in 1203 01:10:43,815 --> 01:10:46,295 Speaker 3: this house that you're looking at, is the gas there 1204 01:10:46,455 --> 01:10:49,895 Speaker 3: just purely for water? Or is the gas also for 1205 01:10:49,935 --> 01:10:55,135 Speaker 3: the hobbs for example? Do they maybe have radiators? It's 1206 01:10:55,335 --> 01:10:59,815 Speaker 3: just for hot water? Okay? And look if there's a 1207 01:10:59,855 --> 01:11:03,735 Speaker 3: suitable location, like ideally where the existing gas unit is, 1208 01:11:04,415 --> 01:11:06,695 Speaker 3: if it's not in a really obvious place, and if 1209 01:11:06,735 --> 01:11:09,415 Speaker 3: the pathways wide enough that you could put an exterior 1210 01:11:09,455 --> 01:11:13,815 Speaker 3: hot water system there, then it's a relatively straight swapover. 1211 01:11:14,975 --> 01:11:15,615 Speaker 8: Okay. Cool. 1212 01:11:16,895 --> 01:11:19,655 Speaker 3: Sorry that it's a much bigger topic than what you 1213 01:11:19,855 --> 01:11:23,255 Speaker 3: might have expected, but it's a really fascinating debate at 1214 01:11:23,255 --> 01:11:26,135 Speaker 3: the moment for the country to be having around. You know, 1215 01:11:26,255 --> 01:11:31,815 Speaker 3: what's the future for domestic gas supply? And you know, 1216 01:11:31,855 --> 01:11:33,655 Speaker 3: are we going to see a time in the future 1217 01:11:33,655 --> 01:11:37,015 Speaker 3: when I know there's no new connections, but how long 1218 01:11:37,055 --> 01:11:41,535 Speaker 3: will there be regular and affordable gas connections to most 1219 01:11:41,535 --> 01:11:42,175 Speaker 3: of our houses. 1220 01:11:42,215 --> 01:11:45,695 Speaker 16: It's a really good to change over from guests to 1221 01:11:46,695 --> 01:11:47,415 Speaker 16: the alternative. 1222 01:11:47,695 --> 01:11:49,775 Speaker 3: Yeah, but that's me as a chippy, right, so I'm 1223 01:11:49,815 --> 01:11:51,855 Speaker 3: not going to upset my plumber mates and gas for 1224 01:11:51,935 --> 01:11:56,295 Speaker 3: the mates and so on. I'd get advice from and 1225 01:11:56,335 --> 01:11:59,135 Speaker 3: there will be people who now are specializing and doing 1226 01:11:59,175 --> 01:12:04,615 Speaker 3: this right. So yeah, actually, I tell you what. Here 1227 01:12:04,655 --> 01:12:07,695 Speaker 3: we go. Look, I've got lots of mates that do 1228 01:12:07,775 --> 01:12:10,535 Speaker 3: gas fitting, right. So here's a quick text before we 1229 01:12:10,575 --> 01:12:13,215 Speaker 3: go the plumber's board. Notice, we expect gas used to 1230 01:12:13,255 --> 01:12:16,095 Speaker 3: continue for at least twenty years. Investment in the gas 1231 01:12:16,135 --> 01:12:18,655 Speaker 3: networks will need to continue to provide safe and a 1232 01:12:18,695 --> 01:12:22,455 Speaker 3: reliable network over this horizon. That's from the Commissioner. Obviously, 1233 01:12:22,495 --> 01:12:24,535 Speaker 3: your clients need to make their own judgments about the 1234 01:12:24,615 --> 01:12:28,495 Speaker 3: energy choices, but the comcoms impartial assessment should be helpful 1235 01:12:28,495 --> 01:12:30,975 Speaker 3: when advising for the future of gas. So there you go. 1236 01:12:30,975 --> 01:12:33,535 Speaker 3: Thanks very much for that chorn. That's awesome. There you go. 1237 01:12:33,655 --> 01:12:37,655 Speaker 3: That's some more opinion as well. I know, not a 1238 01:12:37,655 --> 01:12:39,815 Speaker 3: straightforward answer, but there you go. That's that's something to 1239 01:12:39,895 --> 01:12:44,335 Speaker 3: chew on all the best. Yeah, thanks very much. Oh 1240 01:12:44,375 --> 01:12:46,655 Speaker 3: eight hundred eighty ten eight. We're going to actually we're 1241 01:12:46,655 --> 01:12:47,695 Speaker 3: going to take a break. Then we're going to have 1242 01:12:47,735 --> 01:12:51,095 Speaker 3: a quick chat with Mike Olds from Razine Construction. They 1243 01:12:51,175 --> 01:12:56,215 Speaker 3: are going to be celebrating forty years in business and Mike, well, 1244 01:12:56,215 --> 01:12:58,615 Speaker 3: he doesn't look at day over twenty, has been there 1245 01:12:58,615 --> 01:13:00,775 Speaker 3: from the start. So we'll chat with Mike in just 1246 01:13:00,815 --> 01:13:01,495 Speaker 3: a moment. 1247 01:13:01,695 --> 01:13:06,215 Speaker 1: Measure twice call once on eight hundred eighty ten eighty 1248 01:13:06,415 --> 01:13:10,455 Speaker 1: the Resident Building with peterwolf Camp and Independent Building Supplies 1249 01:13:10,615 --> 01:13:14,815 Speaker 1: the Future of Kiwi Building Today, News Talks be You and. 1250 01:13:14,855 --> 01:13:17,135 Speaker 3: News Talks he'd be and Pete wolf Camp with you 1251 01:13:17,175 --> 01:13:20,415 Speaker 3: this morning and joining us Mike Olds from Razine Construction, 1252 01:13:20,495 --> 01:13:22,895 Speaker 3: which I guess back in the day forty odd years 1253 01:13:22,895 --> 01:13:27,095 Speaker 3: ago when the family started the business it was rock code. 1254 01:13:26,815 --> 01:13:31,175 Speaker 8: I guess, yeah, very much. So yep, that was in 1255 01:13:31,215 --> 01:13:36,495 Speaker 8: the mid eighties. So we've tipped over our fortieth anniversary 1256 01:13:36,775 --> 01:13:39,615 Speaker 8: and it's a bit of a yeah, a bit of 1257 01:13:39,615 --> 01:13:43,695 Speaker 8: a milestone to be fair. And from a local christ 1258 01:13:43,735 --> 01:13:50,335 Speaker 8: Church family clastering business, yes, to national supplier of materials 1259 01:13:50,375 --> 01:13:55,575 Speaker 8: to the largest contract network in the country. So yeah, 1260 01:13:55,695 --> 01:13:58,495 Speaker 8: it's quite interesting just doing a little bit of sort 1261 01:13:58,495 --> 01:14:00,895 Speaker 8: of background on the business in terms of what some 1262 01:14:00,935 --> 01:14:03,455 Speaker 8: of those tipping points were in terms of you know, 1263 01:14:03,535 --> 01:14:07,935 Speaker 8: getting from a local family business to a national company 1264 01:14:08,135 --> 01:14:11,695 Speaker 8: and it's interesting. I was looking back and I was 1265 01:14:11,695 --> 01:14:15,415 Speaker 8: trying to find an article that sprung to mind that 1266 01:14:16,295 --> 01:14:19,615 Speaker 8: got phone calls going in terms of plasters around the 1267 01:14:19,615 --> 01:14:22,335 Speaker 8: country contacting us, and there was one there was one 1268 01:14:22,455 --> 01:14:24,935 Speaker 8: article that was we made the cover of a trends 1269 01:14:24,975 --> 01:14:26,975 Speaker 8: magazine back in the day and it was for a 1270 01:14:27,015 --> 01:14:31,335 Speaker 8: beautiful project down in Duneda. And ever since then that 1271 01:14:31,495 --> 01:14:34,095 Speaker 8: was really one of the catalyst points where it got 1272 01:14:34,135 --> 01:14:38,175 Speaker 8: people knowing about us. I mean back then, I meane 1273 01:14:38,455 --> 01:14:42,535 Speaker 8: ages ago, there wasn't social media and that wasn't it 1274 01:14:42,615 --> 01:14:46,495 Speaker 8: wasn't the accessibility to get people aware via Instagram or 1275 01:14:46,535 --> 01:14:49,135 Speaker 8: Facebook or anything like that. So these were still back 1276 01:14:49,135 --> 01:14:51,695 Speaker 8: in the days when there was faxes peaked and not 1277 01:14:51,735 --> 01:14:57,055 Speaker 8: the many people remember those. But from those days we've 1278 01:14:57,095 --> 01:15:00,895 Speaker 8: seen gfc's we've had sheer market crashes we've had and 1279 01:15:00,935 --> 01:15:02,655 Speaker 8: the big one for us is probably in two thousand 1280 01:15:02,655 --> 01:15:05,695 Speaker 8: and five with the change the building code. So we've 1281 01:15:05,735 --> 01:15:09,775 Speaker 8: seen so and experienced so much has strengthened us over 1282 01:15:09,815 --> 01:15:13,695 Speaker 8: the years to be where we are, and ultimately, in 1283 01:15:13,895 --> 01:15:17,815 Speaker 8: sort of two thousand and three, Razine Groups saw the 1284 01:15:17,855 --> 01:15:22,095 Speaker 8: opportunity with the business and acquired the company and since 1285 01:15:22,135 --> 01:15:25,535 Speaker 8: then we've just expanded and lifted and built and moved 1286 01:15:25,575 --> 01:15:29,935 Speaker 8: into slightly different areas and construction, not just plastering but 1287 01:15:30,015 --> 01:15:35,175 Speaker 8: into the lightweight concrete systems and a variety of other solutions. 1288 01:15:35,695 --> 01:15:38,055 Speaker 8: But key to everything that the business does is around 1289 01:15:38,055 --> 01:15:40,575 Speaker 8: that professionalism of the trade and the craft of the trade. 1290 01:15:40,975 --> 01:15:44,815 Speaker 8: And we're still hugely we're still huge proponents of the 1291 01:15:45,375 --> 01:15:48,855 Speaker 8: trade and the craft of plastering. And this year we 1292 01:15:48,895 --> 01:15:52,135 Speaker 8: have our conference which you'll be em seeing for at 1293 01:15:52,135 --> 01:15:55,455 Speaker 8: the beginning of May, and to celebrate, to celebrate that 1294 01:15:55,495 --> 01:15:58,415 Speaker 8: we have over well had nine on two hundred guests 1295 01:15:58,415 --> 01:16:02,775 Speaker 8: to our awards awards dinner at the Amazing Year One 1296 01:16:02,855 --> 01:16:06,375 Speaker 8: Stadium in christ Church, So it's going to be a 1297 01:16:06,375 --> 01:16:10,575 Speaker 8: pretty substantial event. And on a very special occasion, we're 1298 01:16:10,575 --> 01:16:13,535 Speaker 8: at the ce from rock Cod in Australia or over. 1299 01:16:13,695 --> 01:16:16,775 Speaker 8: We have the original owner of rock Cod and Australia, 1300 01:16:16,775 --> 01:16:20,575 Speaker 8: Bob Cameron, still owns the company and his team and 1301 01:16:21,775 --> 01:16:23,975 Speaker 8: Roger Olds is going to be there, who started the 1302 01:16:24,015 --> 01:16:26,575 Speaker 8: rock Code here in New Zealand. So yeah, so a 1303 01:16:26,575 --> 01:16:29,695 Speaker 8: little bit nostalgic, but looking at what we what we 1304 01:16:29,735 --> 01:16:32,895 Speaker 8: did from our little single story boxes and direct fixed 1305 01:16:32,895 --> 01:16:37,655 Speaker 8: plannings through to some of the some of the most 1306 01:16:37,655 --> 01:16:42,735 Speaker 8: outrageous and beautiful designs and plastering in the country will 1307 01:16:42,775 --> 01:16:45,615 Speaker 8: be on show. So it's going to be a very 1308 01:16:45,615 --> 01:16:46,815 Speaker 8: cool celebration. 1309 01:16:46,495 --> 01:16:49,375 Speaker 3: And certainly worthy of celebrations. So hopefully just talking about 1310 01:16:49,415 --> 01:16:51,535 Speaker 3: social media, we might see a bit of that celebration 1311 01:16:51,655 --> 01:16:54,815 Speaker 3: on socials, but definitely will looking forward to joining you 1312 01:16:54,855 --> 01:16:57,135 Speaker 3: and all of the team in christ Church actually at 1313 01:16:57,135 --> 01:16:59,575 Speaker 3: Takaha the new stadium, So that's going to be pretty 1314 01:16:59,615 --> 01:17:02,695 Speaker 3: exciting as well. And I think you know worthy to 1315 01:17:02,895 --> 01:17:07,175 Speaker 3: take a moment in an environment where you know, businesses tough, right, 1316 01:17:07,255 --> 01:17:10,055 Speaker 3: and so I think in New Zealand we we should 1317 01:17:10,255 --> 01:17:14,895 Speaker 3: celebrate recognize those companies that have been through more than 1318 01:17:14,935 --> 01:17:18,695 Speaker 3: one downturn and stuck around and continued to grow and 1319 01:17:18,735 --> 01:17:21,695 Speaker 3: continue to develop. So my congratulations to you and to 1320 01:17:21,775 --> 01:17:23,615 Speaker 3: all the team and look. 1321 01:17:23,455 --> 01:17:27,575 Speaker 8: Forward to absolutely fat and really opportunity. I mean to 1322 01:17:27,655 --> 01:17:31,015 Speaker 8: talk about supporting New Zealand. Yeah, supporting New Zealand made 1323 01:17:31,055 --> 01:17:34,655 Speaker 8: businesses absolutely so that we so we don't get for 1324 01:17:34,695 --> 01:17:37,975 Speaker 8: these businesses and companies don't close down, support local and 1325 01:17:39,175 --> 01:17:41,815 Speaker 8: it's such a key thing, you know, for for our 1326 01:17:41,895 --> 01:17:43,655 Speaker 8: society to move forward one hundred percent. 1327 01:17:43,775 --> 01:17:46,735 Speaker 3: Again, congratulations, looking forward to joining you for the celebrations 1328 01:17:46,855 --> 01:17:48,895 Speaker 3: and thanks very much for your time this morning. Might 1329 01:17:49,015 --> 01:17:51,815 Speaker 3: take care, Thanks all the best, and to find out 1330 01:17:51,815 --> 01:17:54,575 Speaker 3: more go to Razineconstruction dot co dot n Z, so 1331 01:17:54,615 --> 01:17:57,815 Speaker 3: have a look online. There's the technical stuff, but there's 1332 01:17:57,855 --> 01:18:01,855 Speaker 3: also kind of the inspirational as well, in terms of 1333 01:18:01,895 --> 01:18:05,615 Speaker 3: those amazing buildings that Mike was talking about and some 1334 01:18:05,695 --> 01:18:08,335 Speaker 3: of whom I've been fortunate enough to see as well. 1335 01:18:08,775 --> 01:18:12,095 Speaker 3: Seven fifty two at news Talk. Z'd be Michelle. Greetings 1336 01:18:12,135 --> 01:18:14,095 Speaker 3: to you, Yes, good morning. 1337 01:18:14,615 --> 01:18:17,215 Speaker 17: Just a quick bit of advice please, I have some 1338 01:18:17,295 --> 01:18:21,255 Speaker 17: ceramic numbers that I want to attach to a concrete house. 1339 01:18:21,255 --> 01:18:24,935 Speaker 17: What's the best and fastest setting product to use? 1340 01:18:25,335 --> 01:18:30,655 Speaker 3: I would suggest Soudal Fix All right, yeah, so s 1341 01:18:30,695 --> 01:18:34,775 Speaker 3: o U d A L fix All it's you sorry, 1342 01:18:34,935 --> 01:18:39,135 Speaker 3: So s o U d a L is the brand 1343 01:18:39,215 --> 01:18:42,415 Speaker 3: fixed a fix all Yep. It comes in a couple 1344 01:18:42,415 --> 01:18:45,015 Speaker 3: of different colors, so choose a color that's close to 1345 01:18:45,055 --> 01:18:49,975 Speaker 3: the surface that you're adhering to. But I've I've used 1346 01:18:49,975 --> 01:18:52,975 Speaker 3: it for you know, sort of concrete to concrete bonding 1347 01:18:53,135 --> 01:18:55,935 Speaker 3: and for small repairs, and it's worked really well. 1348 01:18:56,655 --> 01:18:59,455 Speaker 17: Very good, lovely, Thanks. 1349 01:18:58,455 --> 01:19:04,255 Speaker 3: All the best, Take care, uh Tony great hang on 1350 01:19:04,295 --> 01:19:07,775 Speaker 3: hand hang on hand on hand Yep, we've got you, Tony. 1351 01:19:07,815 --> 01:19:10,055 Speaker 3: Good morning, Good morning, Peter. 1352 01:19:10,175 --> 01:19:14,535 Speaker 14: Hey there, I'm just got to inquiry about I turned 1353 01:19:14,575 --> 01:19:19,095 Speaker 14: my whole water cylinder off basically six days a week, 1354 01:19:19,095 --> 01:19:20,975 Speaker 14: if you want to look at it that way. I 1355 01:19:21,015 --> 01:19:24,935 Speaker 14: only turn it on three and a half hours twice 1356 01:19:24,975 --> 01:19:28,335 Speaker 14: a week to eat my water up. Is it detrimental 1357 01:19:28,415 --> 01:19:31,575 Speaker 14: to the cylinder for the future or anything like that. 1358 01:19:37,015 --> 01:19:39,015 Speaker 3: I don't know that it would be. I'm happy to 1359 01:19:39,055 --> 01:19:42,455 Speaker 3: take a text from a plumber who might want to 1360 01:19:42,495 --> 01:19:45,055 Speaker 3: offer up an opinion on that. It would also be 1361 01:19:45,175 --> 01:19:49,575 Speaker 3: really interesting to know whether, in terms of energy usage, 1362 01:19:49,695 --> 01:19:53,335 Speaker 3: let's say, over a week long period, if you do 1363 01:19:53,415 --> 01:19:55,895 Speaker 3: what you're doing, and I'm guessing that the theory behind 1364 01:19:55,935 --> 01:19:58,255 Speaker 3: it is, well, if I don't need the hot water, 1365 01:19:58,495 --> 01:20:00,695 Speaker 3: why should I pay to heat it? If I'm not 1366 01:20:00,815 --> 01:20:05,695 Speaker 3: using it? Therefore, I'll turn it off right totally. So 1367 01:20:05,775 --> 01:20:08,135 Speaker 3: what will be happening inside the cylinder is let's say 1368 01:20:08,175 --> 01:20:10,615 Speaker 3: the cylinder it'll be at fifty five degrees or something 1369 01:20:10,655 --> 01:20:14,735 Speaker 3: like that, possibly a fraction higher. Then it will cool 1370 01:20:14,855 --> 01:20:18,615 Speaker 3: down to I don't know what temperature. What's water when 1371 01:20:18,615 --> 01:20:22,495 Speaker 3: it's out of the tap. Maybe I don't know, eighteen 1372 01:20:22,655 --> 01:20:25,375 Speaker 3: nineteen degrees something like that, and then. 1373 01:20:25,615 --> 01:20:30,655 Speaker 18: How much sorry, I mean, when I turn it back on. 1374 01:20:30,855 --> 01:20:34,695 Speaker 14: I mean it's probably very lukewarmth when I turn it 1375 01:20:34,735 --> 01:20:39,015 Speaker 14: on for three and three days easy, Yep. 1376 01:20:40,455 --> 01:20:44,215 Speaker 3: I'm sure I reckon. If you went to the ECA website, 1377 01:20:44,335 --> 01:20:46,735 Speaker 3: I wonder whether there would so. ECA is the Energy 1378 01:20:47,015 --> 01:20:49,815 Speaker 3: Efficiency Conservation Authority of New Zealand. They do a lot 1379 01:20:49,855 --> 01:20:52,655 Speaker 3: of research on this particular film. We've had some of 1380 01:20:52,695 --> 01:20:55,375 Speaker 3: their experts on the show. It'd be really interesting to 1381 01:20:55,455 --> 01:21:01,135 Speaker 3: know whether there is an actual saving by turning it off, 1382 01:21:01,295 --> 01:21:04,375 Speaker 3: or whether, in fact the energy that's required to bring 1383 01:21:04,415 --> 01:21:07,855 Speaker 3: it back up to the temperature that you want uses 1384 01:21:07,935 --> 01:21:10,375 Speaker 3: more energy than what it might have used to just 1385 01:21:10,655 --> 01:21:14,375 Speaker 3: keep heating it modestly over a period of time. I 1386 01:21:14,455 --> 01:21:16,695 Speaker 3: don't know the answer, but I'm sure someone's tested it, 1387 01:21:16,775 --> 01:21:18,815 Speaker 3: and I'm sure there'll be some evidence for it out there. 1388 01:21:18,895 --> 01:21:23,015 Speaker 18: So I can't see, and I don't have the internet, 1389 01:21:23,135 --> 01:21:26,535 Speaker 18: so I was hoping maybe somebody can lead, you know, 1390 01:21:26,775 --> 01:21:29,295 Speaker 18: and maybe you could put it over there. 1391 01:21:29,535 --> 01:21:34,855 Speaker 3: I tell you what, I keep making these promises, and 1392 01:21:34,855 --> 01:21:36,615 Speaker 3: then I realized during the week that I may or 1393 01:21:36,615 --> 01:21:38,695 Speaker 3: may not have time to do it. I might send 1394 01:21:38,695 --> 01:21:40,615 Speaker 3: an email to the guy that I know at Eca 1395 01:21:40,815 --> 01:21:43,615 Speaker 3: and go, hey, what's the evidence on this? Because I 1396 01:21:43,615 --> 01:21:47,815 Speaker 3: remember we had a similar discussion around should you for example, 1397 01:21:47,815 --> 01:21:50,975 Speaker 3: if you're heating your lounge with a heat pump, should 1398 01:21:50,975 --> 01:21:53,815 Speaker 3: you set it at a certain temperature so that the 1399 01:21:53,975 --> 01:21:56,935 Speaker 3: air stays that temperature all the time, or should you 1400 01:21:57,015 --> 01:21:58,855 Speaker 3: just turn it off, let the room get cold, and 1401 01:21:58,895 --> 01:22:02,255 Speaker 3: turn it back on again. And here's a cliffhanger. I'll 1402 01:22:02,255 --> 01:22:05,135 Speaker 3: give you the answer to that after the eight o'clock news. 1403 01:22:06,575 --> 01:22:11,535 Speaker 3: You always take care. Yeah, there you go. That'll keep 1404 01:22:11,575 --> 01:22:15,415 Speaker 3: you listening for the not that you were going away anyway, 1405 01:22:15,975 --> 01:22:17,375 Speaker 3: but we'll listen to a bit of music. We'll have 1406 01:22:17,415 --> 01:22:19,815 Speaker 3: the news at eight o'clock. Remember red Climb passed from 1407 01:22:19,935 --> 01:22:21,775 Speaker 3: eight point thirty Your News Talks B. 1408 01:22:38,455 --> 01:22:41,135 Speaker 1: Vexing what they forgot to mention on that YouTube video 1409 01:22:41,615 --> 01:22:46,095 Speaker 1: The resident builder with Peter Wolfcamp and Independent Building supplies 1410 01:22:46,175 --> 01:22:51,735 Speaker 1: the future of Kiwi Building today. Call eight News Talks. 1411 01:22:51,655 --> 01:22:55,335 Speaker 3: B right, welcome back to the show. And eight hundred 1412 01:22:55,415 --> 01:22:57,175 Speaker 3: eighty ten eighty is the number to call. And I 1413 01:22:57,175 --> 01:22:59,535 Speaker 3: almost forgot the cliffhang apart. I was just going to 1414 01:22:59,615 --> 01:23:02,935 Speaker 3: launch into everything else and I realized in our conversation 1415 01:23:03,015 --> 01:23:06,415 Speaker 3: with Tony just prior to the news some time ago, 1416 01:23:06,495 --> 01:23:09,135 Speaker 3: and it's probably worth another visit. Actually, we had one 1417 01:23:09,175 --> 01:23:12,535 Speaker 3: of the researchers from ECA join us on the show 1418 01:23:12,615 --> 01:23:17,015 Speaker 3: because there there's always been that discussion around, you know, 1419 01:23:17,135 --> 01:23:20,735 Speaker 3: as like we're approaching winter again. We're well into autumn 1420 01:23:20,735 --> 01:23:22,855 Speaker 3: now and you can certainly feel it's getting a bit 1421 01:23:22,895 --> 01:23:27,895 Speaker 3: colder and so on. And in terms of heating your 1422 01:23:28,175 --> 01:23:30,335 Speaker 3: let's say just the living room, right, maybe your whole house, 1423 01:23:30,375 --> 01:23:33,735 Speaker 3: But in terms of heating the house, do you take 1424 01:23:33,775 --> 01:23:37,255 Speaker 3: the approach that it's better to keep the house at 1425 01:23:37,775 --> 01:23:42,655 Speaker 3: comfortable temperature somewhere around twenty degrees by leaving heating that 1426 01:23:42,815 --> 01:23:46,015 Speaker 3: comes on and comes off and always maintains that temperature. 1427 01:23:46,215 --> 01:23:48,655 Speaker 3: Or do you let the temperature and the house just 1428 01:23:48,775 --> 01:23:51,255 Speaker 3: go to whatever the ambient temperature is going to be 1429 01:23:52,295 --> 01:23:55,215 Speaker 3: and it might be as little as twelve thirteen degrees 1430 01:23:55,775 --> 01:23:58,495 Speaker 3: if the house is unoccupied and unheated during the day, 1431 01:23:59,415 --> 01:24:01,215 Speaker 3: and then when you come back, let's say you go 1432 01:24:01,255 --> 01:24:02,895 Speaker 3: out for the day, you come back and then you 1433 01:24:02,935 --> 01:24:05,135 Speaker 3: turn the heating on, you bring the temperature up. Or 1434 01:24:05,175 --> 01:24:07,895 Speaker 3: is it better, is it more energy efficient? Does it 1435 01:24:08,015 --> 01:24:10,975 Speaker 3: use less energy to just maintain that temperature rather than 1436 01:24:11,055 --> 01:24:14,095 Speaker 3: letting it get cold. And the question was very much 1437 01:24:14,095 --> 01:24:17,415 Speaker 3: around the use of heat pumps, and so, to be fair, 1438 01:24:17,495 --> 01:24:21,415 Speaker 3: I had always had the impression that surely it would 1439 01:24:21,455 --> 01:24:23,415 Speaker 3: be more efficient just to set the heat pump for 1440 01:24:23,495 --> 01:24:25,975 Speaker 3: twenty degrees leave it on, so that when you came 1441 01:24:26,015 --> 01:24:28,655 Speaker 3: home it was at the desired temperature and you didn't 1442 01:24:28,695 --> 01:24:33,695 Speaker 3: have to then add energy, add power to create more heat. 1443 01:24:34,975 --> 01:24:37,135 Speaker 3: It turns out with heat pumps that's not the case. 1444 01:24:37,335 --> 01:24:41,055 Speaker 3: So there you go. So the guidance seems to be 1445 01:24:41,335 --> 01:24:43,815 Speaker 3: if you go out during the day, you come home 1446 01:24:43,855 --> 01:24:46,135 Speaker 3: at night, that's when you turn the heat pump on. 1447 01:24:46,615 --> 01:24:49,815 Speaker 3: You just set it for the desired temperature. So setting 1448 01:24:49,815 --> 01:24:53,175 Speaker 3: the heat pump for a higher temperature in order to 1449 01:24:53,215 --> 01:24:57,215 Speaker 3: heat the room quicker apparently doesn't work either. So you 1450 01:24:57,255 --> 01:24:58,895 Speaker 3: just go if you want it to be twenty degrees, 1451 01:24:59,015 --> 01:25:02,015 Speaker 3: just hit twenty degrees on the remote control and let 1452 01:25:02,055 --> 01:25:05,695 Speaker 3: the heat pump do the work. And that because it's 1453 01:25:05,735 --> 01:25:08,895 Speaker 3: a space heater. So it's because of the way in 1454 01:25:08,935 --> 01:25:11,775 Speaker 3: which a heat pump heats a room or a space 1455 01:25:12,335 --> 01:25:15,735 Speaker 3: that's the most efficient and effective use of a heat pump. 1456 01:25:15,775 --> 01:25:18,255 Speaker 3: Now that might not be true. For example, if you've 1457 01:25:18,255 --> 01:25:21,935 Speaker 3: got an electric wall heater, or if you've got radiators 1458 01:25:22,015 --> 01:25:24,655 Speaker 3: or something like that, it might be actually more effective 1459 01:25:24,655 --> 01:25:27,735 Speaker 3: in that case to keep the space at a comfortable 1460 01:25:27,775 --> 01:25:32,335 Speaker 3: temperature by using it. So anyway, but I think I 1461 01:25:32,935 --> 01:25:36,455 Speaker 3: have already written myself a note that will we will 1462 01:25:36,495 --> 01:25:40,255 Speaker 3: talk about that at some stage now, I think, Judy, sorry, 1463 01:25:40,535 --> 01:25:42,655 Speaker 3: I realized that I took a little while to get 1464 01:25:42,655 --> 01:25:44,535 Speaker 3: to you. If you want to give us a call back, 1465 01:25:44,655 --> 01:25:46,375 Speaker 3: well it we'll take your call right now. 1466 01:25:46,575 --> 01:25:46,735 Speaker 9: Now. 1467 01:25:46,895 --> 01:25:50,295 Speaker 3: Just a bit of an update as well. Who would 1468 01:25:50,335 --> 01:25:53,375 Speaker 3: normally join us at around eight point thirty is just 1469 01:25:53,455 --> 01:25:56,615 Speaker 3: going to slightly take a break and he's going to 1470 01:25:56,655 --> 01:25:59,815 Speaker 3: join us at about quarter to nine, just have a 1471 01:25:59,815 --> 01:26:02,535 Speaker 3: bit of a chat. I'm sure he won't mind me 1472 01:26:02,615 --> 01:26:05,095 Speaker 3: saying he had surgery on his knee. He talks about 1473 01:26:05,135 --> 01:26:09,175 Speaker 3: that a bit. I think today he's just, let's be 1474 01:26:09,215 --> 01:26:11,615 Speaker 3: really honest, not quite up to having a big long chat. 1475 01:26:11,655 --> 01:26:13,055 Speaker 3: But he is going to join us for a little 1476 01:26:13,095 --> 01:26:15,255 Speaker 3: bit wen talk about possum trapping and a few other 1477 01:26:15,295 --> 01:26:19,055 Speaker 3: bits and pieces. So a slightly extended building program this morning, 1478 01:26:20,375 --> 01:26:23,895 Speaker 3: and will join us. But we won't be taking calls. 1479 01:26:23,935 --> 01:26:27,175 Speaker 3: At this stage, it's just gone ten minutes after eight. 1480 01:26:27,255 --> 01:26:32,415 Speaker 3: I've got a whole bunch of texts around again. What 1481 01:26:32,455 --> 01:26:35,055 Speaker 3: we were talking about with Tony prior to the break. 1482 01:26:35,935 --> 01:26:38,295 Speaker 3: He's saying, what I do is I turn my hot 1483 01:26:38,335 --> 01:26:40,455 Speaker 3: water cylinder off because I don't need the hot water, 1484 01:26:41,415 --> 01:26:42,975 Speaker 3: and then I just turn it back on again a 1485 01:26:43,015 --> 01:26:45,495 Speaker 3: couple of days later when I need it. A number 1486 01:26:45,815 --> 01:26:48,215 Speaker 3: of people and thank you for your texts, have pointed 1487 01:26:48,215 --> 01:26:52,895 Speaker 3: out that if you do that, there is a chance 1488 01:26:52,975 --> 01:26:57,535 Speaker 3: of getting sick from legionella. So the reason that we 1489 01:26:57,655 --> 01:27:00,775 Speaker 3: keep our hot water cylinders at a certain temperature, so 1490 01:27:00,855 --> 01:27:04,575 Speaker 3: typically in the cylinder about sixty degrees at the tap. 1491 01:27:04,655 --> 01:27:07,495 Speaker 3: It should only be fifty five degrees where it comes out. 1492 01:27:09,495 --> 01:27:16,415 Speaker 3: The reason for that is to prevent the emergence, the generation, 1493 01:27:16,615 --> 01:27:20,615 Speaker 3: the growth of Legionella in the hot water cylinders. So 1494 01:27:20,735 --> 01:27:23,735 Speaker 3: actually turning it off allowing it to go cool, would 1495 01:27:23,895 --> 01:27:26,735 Speaker 3: increase the risk of that. Hence leaving your hot water 1496 01:27:26,775 --> 01:27:30,375 Speaker 3: cylinders all on all of the time, and just very 1497 01:27:30,495 --> 01:27:34,015 Speaker 3: quickly before we talk to k a pete eye change 1498 01:27:34,015 --> 01:27:38,775 Speaker 3: from gas to a highly effective outdoor gas system now 1499 01:27:38,855 --> 01:27:40,895 Speaker 3: water only for two and a half thousand dollars, not 1500 01:27:40,935 --> 01:27:48,375 Speaker 3: wanting to recommend supplies. However, the new one, well that, yeah, 1501 01:27:48,455 --> 01:27:52,055 Speaker 3: so a highly efficient outdoor gas system, but still gas 1502 01:27:53,095 --> 01:27:54,895 Speaker 3: at two and a half thousand, so I just wonder 1503 01:27:54,975 --> 01:27:57,015 Speaker 3: what it would cost. Then then you've got the line 1504 01:27:57,095 --> 01:27:59,455 Speaker 3: charge as well, what it would cost to have not 1505 01:27:59,735 --> 01:28:03,295 Speaker 3: gone to gas. And I'm not anti gas, right, I've 1506 01:28:03,295 --> 01:28:07,335 Speaker 3: got it at home and there's parts of it that 1507 01:28:07,495 --> 01:28:09,695 Speaker 3: I really really like. Would I do it again in 1508 01:28:09,735 --> 01:28:16,615 Speaker 3: the future, I'd have to question that. But there are 1509 01:28:16,655 --> 01:28:18,575 Speaker 3: some energy efficient systems out there, so we can have 1510 01:28:18,615 --> 01:28:20,095 Speaker 3: a look at those as well. Oh eight hundred and 1511 01:28:20,135 --> 01:28:23,175 Speaker 3: eighty ten eighty lots and lots of text thank you 1512 01:28:23,215 --> 01:28:29,935 Speaker 3: for that. I'm just looking at the ones about the 1513 01:28:30,015 --> 01:28:32,775 Speaker 3: legion now that I think that's really important. This one 1514 01:28:32,815 --> 01:28:34,855 Speaker 3: as well from Bruce hey Pete. Last week I got 1515 01:28:34,895 --> 01:28:38,095 Speaker 3: quoted two thousand, six hundred and eighty four dollars plus 1516 01:28:38,215 --> 01:28:45,375 Speaker 3: GST to disconnect the gas. Be interested in a bit 1517 01:28:45,415 --> 01:28:48,895 Speaker 3: more information on that one, Bruce. Was that simply to 1518 01:28:48,935 --> 01:28:53,855 Speaker 3: have it disconnected or was that to disconnect and then 1519 01:28:53,975 --> 01:28:58,015 Speaker 3: to provide alternative solutions? So, for example, if you had 1520 01:28:58,055 --> 01:29:04,575 Speaker 3: gas hobbs, for example, would that include taking out your 1521 01:29:04,575 --> 01:29:08,015 Speaker 3: gas hob and replacing it within and electroc ob for example. 1522 01:29:08,095 --> 01:29:10,735 Speaker 3: Or is it just about disconnecting the gas because that 1523 01:29:10,815 --> 01:29:16,335 Speaker 3: seems quite a bit to be fair, just to disconnect 1524 01:29:16,415 --> 01:29:20,295 Speaker 3: and just unbolt the meter and cap it off. Oh 1525 01:29:21,375 --> 01:29:24,095 Speaker 3: the number to call, kay A very very good morning 1526 01:29:24,095 --> 01:29:25,215 Speaker 3: to you. How are you this morning? 1527 01:29:27,255 --> 01:29:30,295 Speaker 19: Good morning, Peter, I'm very good, thank you, good good morning. 1528 01:29:32,055 --> 01:29:37,975 Speaker 19: I had a wooden cabin built last year and it 1529 01:29:38,175 --> 01:29:41,815 Speaker 19: had been painted. I got professional painters and to do 1530 01:29:41,935 --> 01:29:46,655 Speaker 19: that over summer with the heat, I noticed some of 1531 01:29:46,695 --> 01:29:51,615 Speaker 19: the panels had started to shrink slightly. I queried this 1532 01:29:51,655 --> 01:29:54,895 Speaker 19: with my builder and he said, just paint where they'd shrunk. 1533 01:29:54,935 --> 01:29:58,375 Speaker 19: And he said, only look at putting silicon in there 1534 01:29:58,575 --> 01:29:59,895 Speaker 19: if it's not watertight. 1535 01:30:01,575 --> 01:30:02,695 Speaker 12: So I had. 1536 01:30:02,655 --> 01:30:05,415 Speaker 19: Painted where they had shrunk slightly and exposed. 1537 01:30:04,895 --> 01:30:05,935 Speaker 8: Some of the raw timber. 1538 01:30:06,455 --> 01:30:08,895 Speaker 19: Yes, that seemed to be fine. But I noticed after 1539 01:30:09,095 --> 01:30:15,535 Speaker 19: the last week's headed downpour where the knots had started 1540 01:30:15,535 --> 01:30:18,855 Speaker 19: to crack, water has started to come and into the 1541 01:30:18,855 --> 01:30:22,975 Speaker 19: building be caught through these wooden knots and the cracks. 1542 01:30:23,295 --> 01:30:26,055 Speaker 19: So I'm just wondering how would I treat them to 1543 01:30:27,015 --> 01:30:27,815 Speaker 19: make them water tight? 1544 01:30:28,935 --> 01:30:29,175 Speaker 4: Right? 1545 01:30:33,415 --> 01:30:36,695 Speaker 3: I suppose a question in the back of my mind, 1546 01:30:36,815 --> 01:30:42,455 Speaker 3: and I'm almost reluctant to ask, is if after such 1547 01:30:42,495 --> 01:30:46,015 Speaker 3: a short period of time, you're already having issues with 1548 01:30:46,095 --> 01:30:51,655 Speaker 3: the cladding, I either knots and the cladding. I just 1549 01:30:51,775 --> 01:30:54,815 Speaker 3: wonder whether the cladding is not up to the standard 1550 01:30:55,335 --> 01:30:59,135 Speaker 3: required in the building code. I don't know, but like 1551 01:31:00,175 --> 01:31:03,655 Speaker 3: typically if you're looking at pladding in solid timber, there 1552 01:31:03,695 --> 01:31:06,935 Speaker 3: may well be knots, but they'd be what's considered a 1553 01:31:06,975 --> 01:31:09,455 Speaker 3: tight knot. And in fact, in some ways you really 1554 01:31:09,495 --> 01:31:13,335 Speaker 3: shouldn't have not an exterior cladding at all, so it 1555 01:31:13,375 --> 01:31:18,495 Speaker 3: should be clear boards, you know, maybe in really old pladdings. 1556 01:31:18,495 --> 01:31:21,135 Speaker 3: But I'm just trying to think if I've seen a 1557 01:31:21,215 --> 01:31:23,215 Speaker 3: cladding in the last couple of years that I might 1558 01:31:23,255 --> 01:31:26,335 Speaker 3: have installed that actually had knots in it, or if 1559 01:31:26,375 --> 01:31:28,175 Speaker 3: it did have knots in it, would I cut it 1560 01:31:28,215 --> 01:31:31,015 Speaker 3: out so that I don't have the potential for them 1561 01:31:31,095 --> 01:31:35,375 Speaker 3: opening up in the future. Okay, so there's a bit 1562 01:31:35,375 --> 01:31:37,775 Speaker 3: of a question mark in my mind about that, but 1563 01:31:38,215 --> 01:31:41,135 Speaker 3: it is what you've got, so let's solve the problem. 1564 01:31:41,255 --> 01:31:45,855 Speaker 3: I would probably remove the paint off the surface so 1565 01:31:45,975 --> 01:31:49,975 Speaker 3: that it's bare timber, and then i'd use actually something 1566 01:31:50,175 --> 01:31:54,375 Speaker 3: like repair Care, which is a combination of an adhesive 1567 01:31:54,695 --> 01:31:58,895 Speaker 3: and a filler, so it's a two pot system. You 1568 01:31:58,935 --> 01:32:02,895 Speaker 3: can get it at razine color shops. You mix it 1569 01:32:02,895 --> 01:32:07,135 Speaker 3: to it's called repair Care. That's the name of this. Yeah, 1570 01:32:07,215 --> 01:32:11,775 Speaker 3: so two tubes. They may ask you technically you should 1571 01:32:11,775 --> 01:32:14,415 Speaker 3: buy the dispenser gun as well, but to be fair 1572 01:32:14,455 --> 01:32:17,415 Speaker 3: for a small repair, you possibly just get the product 1573 01:32:17,415 --> 01:32:20,375 Speaker 3: out using another method, which is just a stick orus. 1574 01:32:21,175 --> 01:32:23,495 Speaker 3: It sounds dodgy, but if you're only going to use 1575 01:32:23,535 --> 01:32:26,015 Speaker 3: it once, then I'm not sure that buying the dispenser 1576 01:32:26,415 --> 01:32:30,975 Speaker 3: is worth it, right, So use it. Mix it up 1577 01:32:31,135 --> 01:32:35,375 Speaker 3: exactly as per the instructions. You can fill the gaps 1578 01:32:35,415 --> 01:32:39,495 Speaker 3: around that knot, flush it off, wait for it to dry, 1579 01:32:39,615 --> 01:32:41,455 Speaker 3: sand it, and then paint over the top of it. 1580 01:32:42,295 --> 01:32:44,935 Speaker 3: That will give you a really good repair to those. 1581 01:32:44,775 --> 01:32:47,695 Speaker 19: Knots, okay, and then just prime it and. 1582 01:32:48,135 --> 01:32:51,695 Speaker 3: Then prime it and then paint it again. Yeah. And 1583 01:32:52,975 --> 01:32:55,335 Speaker 3: I mean even it's interesting. I was watching a building 1584 01:32:55,615 --> 01:32:59,215 Speaker 3: being clad the other day and they're using vertical cladding. 1585 01:32:59,415 --> 01:33:02,215 Speaker 3: They're not I don't know that it's timber. It might 1586 01:33:02,255 --> 01:33:04,975 Speaker 3: be a five or cement board. But interestingly enough, they 1587 01:33:05,015 --> 01:33:08,535 Speaker 3: got their painters to paint that part of the board 1588 01:33:08,535 --> 01:33:12,295 Speaker 3: that gets overlapped before it went up, so that if 1589 01:33:12,335 --> 01:33:15,615 Speaker 3: there's any movement, and there always is with cladding, as 1590 01:33:15,655 --> 01:33:20,255 Speaker 3: it moves, you're not exposing the primed surface of the board. Right. 1591 01:33:20,335 --> 01:33:23,375 Speaker 3: So let's say you're painting something a relatively dark color, 1592 01:33:23,735 --> 01:33:25,535 Speaker 3: you know that there'll always be a bit of movement 1593 01:33:25,535 --> 01:33:28,535 Speaker 3: in the cladding. By just taking the time to prime 1594 01:33:28,895 --> 01:33:31,495 Speaker 3: or to paint that part of the board that's going 1595 01:33:31,535 --> 01:33:34,575 Speaker 3: to be overlapped in the event that it moves slightly, 1596 01:33:34,695 --> 01:33:36,895 Speaker 3: you're not exposing the primer. And I thought that was 1597 01:33:37,375 --> 01:33:40,815 Speaker 3: that's a sign of someone who understands the product that 1598 01:33:40,815 --> 01:33:43,095 Speaker 3: they were in, a bit of forward thinking, a bit 1599 01:33:43,175 --> 01:33:46,455 Speaker 3: of planning, and then you go, okay, well when it 1600 01:33:46,495 --> 01:33:48,815 Speaker 3: does move, I'm not seeing all of those gaps. That's 1601 01:33:48,855 --> 01:33:54,615 Speaker 3: really smart, right, Yes, So I would have a slight 1602 01:33:54,695 --> 01:33:56,935 Speaker 3: caution around the type of cladding that they might have 1603 01:33:57,055 --> 01:34:02,855 Speaker 3: used in this little cabin. But there is a way 1604 01:34:02,855 --> 01:34:05,615 Speaker 3: to fix it. But you'll probably use a bit of 1605 01:34:05,735 --> 01:34:09,375 Speaker 3: repair care over the years to sort out those knots. Okay, 1606 01:34:09,455 --> 01:34:11,775 Speaker 3: all right, for you, having my pleasure nice chatting with you. 1607 01:34:12,495 --> 01:34:14,775 Speaker 3: Take care, k all the best, Oh eight hundred eighty 1608 01:34:14,855 --> 01:34:17,375 Speaker 3: ten eighty.

That's not an unreasonable thing to 1638 01:35:50,335 --> 01:35:54,575 Speaker 3: think of. And following on from Tony's comments about his process, 1639 01:35:54,575 --> 01:35:57,615 Speaker 3: which is he turns the hot water cylinder off for 1640 01:35:57,655 --> 01:35:59,655 Speaker 3: a couple of days when he doesn't really need the 1641 01:35:59,695 --> 01:36:02,855 Speaker 3: hot water, which is kind of interesting in itself, and 1642 01:36:02,855 --> 01:36:05,175 Speaker 3: then turns it back on again. Are there some issues 1643 01:36:05,215 --> 01:36:07,015 Speaker 3: with that, Stuart? You've got a comment. 1644 01:36:08,335 --> 01:36:14,375 Speaker 7: Yeah, Hi, The hot water cylinder temperatures must remain above 1645 01:36:14,535 --> 01:36:19,255 Speaker 7: sixty five right degrees, that's the minimum as set by 1646 01:36:19,335 --> 01:36:23,975 Speaker 7: the codes. Your hot water taps can come down to 1647 01:36:24,335 --> 01:36:29,895 Speaker 7: fifty degrees. Now, kitchens and kitchens and laundries can be 1648 01:36:30,055 --> 01:36:36,095 Speaker 7: directly off the hot water cylinder at their temperatures right. 1649 01:36:36,375 --> 01:36:38,895 Speaker 3: And I know that, Like, if you're doing a final 1650 01:36:38,935 --> 01:36:42,895 Speaker 3: inspections the building inspectors. Typically the council inspectors will come 1651 01:36:42,935 --> 01:36:46,215 Speaker 3: through with a little thermometer and actually test the temperature 1652 01:36:46,295 --> 01:36:47,295 Speaker 3: at the taps, isn't it. 1653 01:36:48,175 --> 01:36:50,575 Speaker 7: Yeah, I'm a building inspector with a council and yeah, 1654 01:36:50,575 --> 01:36:54,015 Speaker 7: that's mandatory, right, I've been with a couple of councils 1655 01:36:54,055 --> 01:36:57,255 Speaker 7: now and yep. Mandatory to check the. 1656 01:36:58,695 --> 01:37:03,095 Speaker 3: Taps as part of that final inspection process. Yeah. Yes, 1657 01:37:03,615 --> 01:37:07,015 Speaker 3: And so sixty five degrees inside the or the cylinder 1658 01:37:07,095 --> 01:37:10,215 Speaker 3: stays at sixty five degrees as a way of present 1659 01:37:10,655 --> 01:37:14,135 Speaker 3: preventing the onset of legionella or the potential growth of 1660 01:37:14,215 --> 01:37:15,695 Speaker 3: legionella inside the cylinder. 1661 01:37:16,535 --> 01:37:18,375 Speaker 7: Correct, that's the minimum temperature. 1662 01:37:19,295 --> 01:37:22,735 Speaker 3: So if you were to do what our previous caller 1663 01:37:22,815 --> 01:37:25,855 Speaker 3: Tony does and turn the cylinder off, let it go 1664 01:37:26,015 --> 01:37:28,655 Speaker 3: down to I don't know, it might be twenty degrees 1665 01:37:28,775 --> 01:37:30,855 Speaker 3: or something like that. Right, if it got really cool, 1666 01:37:32,655 --> 01:37:36,535 Speaker 3: that would potentially allow the growth of legionella. But then 1667 01:37:36,575 --> 01:37:39,095 Speaker 3: when you ramp it up to sixty five, would that 1668 01:37:39,175 --> 01:37:42,535 Speaker 3: then kill it? Or would you there's always the potential 1669 01:37:42,575 --> 01:37:44,215 Speaker 3: that it's a little bit of it's going to stay, 1670 01:37:44,255 --> 01:37:44,575 Speaker 3: isn't it. 1671 01:37:45,495 --> 01:37:48,975 Speaker 7: Yeah? I would I would I just leave well I've 1672 01:37:48,975 --> 01:37:52,655 Speaker 7: got gas now, but yeah, instant gas. But we always 1673 01:37:52,735 --> 01:37:57,095 Speaker 7: used to just leave ours on. Yeah it's if you're 1674 01:37:57,095 --> 01:38:01,455 Speaker 7: going away. Yeah you're using unnecessary power, but that potential 1675 01:38:01,615 --> 01:38:05,135 Speaker 7: risk we were happy to pay for that. 1676 01:38:05,495 --> 01:38:09,095 Speaker 3: Yeah, yes, yes, I think that's the simplest answer, isn't it. 1677 01:38:09,975 --> 01:38:13,135 Speaker 3: You know, why would you take that risk? Because it 1678 01:38:13,175 --> 01:38:17,895 Speaker 3: is that's a terrible disease by all accounts and can 1679 01:38:18,055 --> 01:38:20,855 Speaker 3: make you incredibly sick. Hey, Stuart, I appreciate you sticking 1680 01:38:20,895 --> 01:38:24,095 Speaker 3: around and thanks very much for that. Really appreciate it 1681 01:38:24,215 --> 01:38:27,855 Speaker 3: all the best, Take care then bye way NEWSOKS be 1682 01:38:28,015 --> 01:38:30,935 Speaker 3: open line on all things building and construction. Will carry 1683 01:38:31,015 --> 01:38:33,855 Speaker 3: on the building chat through at all about eight forty 1684 01:38:33,855 --> 01:38:37,055 Speaker 3: five this morning, and just have a slightly shorter chat 1685 01:38:37,095 --> 01:38:39,455 Speaker 3: with a root today. So if you've got a question 1686 01:38:39,495 --> 01:38:42,775 Speaker 3: of building nature, happy to take your calls on that 1687 01:38:42,975 --> 01:38:48,775 Speaker 3: right now. On the whole conversion thing in terms of 1688 01:38:48,935 --> 01:38:54,455 Speaker 3: maybe having an exterior gas califont or a heating system, 1689 01:38:54,655 --> 01:38:57,535 Speaker 3: the question was how long do you think gas is 1690 01:38:57,575 --> 01:39:02,335 Speaker 3: going to be around? And you know, if I bord 1691 01:39:02,335 --> 01:39:04,135 Speaker 3: a house that's got it, will it be around in 1692 01:39:04,095 --> 01:39:07,975 Speaker 3: a fuse time? Well, the official advice from like gas 1693 01:39:08,015 --> 01:39:10,535 Speaker 3: Board and so on is that they expect it to 1694 01:39:10,575 --> 01:39:15,575 Speaker 3: be uninterrupted for up to twenty years, which case most 1695 01:39:15,575 --> 01:39:19,655 Speaker 3: of us sell our houses after five years. Roughly, it's 1696 01:39:19,695 --> 01:39:22,895 Speaker 3: probably not going to be a problem, but that's not 1697 01:39:22,935 --> 01:39:26,375 Speaker 3: saying that there isn't some challenges on the horizon for that. 1698 01:39:26,975 --> 01:39:29,855 Speaker 3: The Texter came through with this six thousand dollars in 1699 01:39:29,935 --> 01:39:34,655 Speaker 3: November to convert a heat pump in savings of four 1700 01:39:34,695 --> 01:39:38,095 Speaker 3: to five hundred kilowatt hours per month. Even though the 1701 01:39:38,135 --> 01:39:41,975 Speaker 3: power rates have increased, our power bills are still one 1702 01:39:42,055 --> 01:39:44,975 Speaker 3: hundred or our energy bills basically one hundred and thirty 1703 01:39:44,975 --> 01:39:48,015 Speaker 3: to one hundred and seventy dollars per month cheaper. But 1704 01:39:48,095 --> 01:39:50,615 Speaker 3: the real bonus is lots more hot water. We never 1705 01:39:50,695 --> 01:39:53,855 Speaker 3: run out even with teenagers, so the usage of course 1706 01:39:53,935 --> 01:39:56,495 Speaker 3: is slightly higher than it might be in a household 1707 01:39:56,535 --> 01:40:00,455 Speaker 3: without those particular creatures in the house. Thanks very much 1708 01:40:00,455 --> 01:40:07,375 Speaker 3: for that, Darren, and I saw the whole thing around, 1709 01:40:07,535 --> 01:40:10,215 Speaker 3: you know, having to this ling thing. Right, so do 1710 01:40:10,255 --> 01:40:13,495 Speaker 3: we go LNG storage? What's that going to cost us? 1711 01:40:13,495 --> 01:40:16,215 Speaker 3: In terms of several billions dollars? This is the proposal. 1712 01:40:18,175 --> 01:40:20,335 Speaker 3: I think a couple of sort of. The energy efficiency 1713 01:40:20,335 --> 01:40:23,335 Speaker 3: groups have said, well, look as the government simply provided 1714 01:40:23,375 --> 01:40:26,735 Speaker 3: a subsidy to allow everyone to go to hot water 1715 01:40:26,855 --> 01:40:29,895 Speaker 3: heat pumps, we would save more energy and it would 1716 01:40:29,895 --> 01:40:35,255 Speaker 3: cost list. It's as simple as that. Oh, one hundred 1717 01:40:35,335 --> 01:40:38,535 Speaker 3: eighty the number to call Peter. Great things to you. 1718 01:40:39,215 --> 01:40:43,935 Speaker 4: Yeah's good morning, Pete, good morning, and Pete. Indeed, I've 1719 01:40:43,975 --> 01:40:46,215 Speaker 4: got a problem with the house I own. It's a 1720 01:40:46,215 --> 01:40:50,415 Speaker 4: concrete floored house, and the copper pipes that run under 1721 01:40:50,415 --> 01:40:54,095 Speaker 4: it are leaking. Now to what it's not a big league, 1722 01:40:54,135 --> 01:40:57,215 Speaker 4: but previously in the heat covered itself for the hot 1723 01:40:57,215 --> 01:40:59,575 Speaker 4: water smer to cover itself. We've had to jackhammer the 1724 01:40:59,615 --> 01:41:02,415 Speaker 4: floor to repair some of the broken quite well the 1725 01:41:02,575 --> 01:41:06,655 Speaker 4: corroded pipes there. But at the moment, I've had the pain. 1726 01:41:06,735 --> 01:41:09,495 Speaker 4: But anyway, at the moment, the how it's leaking underneath 1727 01:41:09,575 --> 01:41:12,615 Speaker 4: the house somewhere, but we don't know where, and the 1728 01:41:12,655 --> 01:41:14,655 Speaker 4: specialists have been in well the ones I've got, and 1729 01:41:14,695 --> 01:41:17,335 Speaker 4: they can't find it. So I was going to raise 1730 01:41:17,415 --> 01:41:19,735 Speaker 4: the question because I think it looks like a repipe 1731 01:41:19,855 --> 01:41:23,935 Speaker 4: is on. You know, the pipes are over well over 1732 01:41:24,015 --> 01:41:28,815 Speaker 4: forty years old, but it doesn't have a pressure valve 1733 01:41:28,895 --> 01:41:32,135 Speaker 4: a reducing valve in the system. So at the moment 1734 01:41:32,615 --> 01:41:35,095 Speaker 4: it's about seventy eighty percent higher than it should be. 1735 01:41:35,095 --> 01:41:37,535 Speaker 4: I think I forget what the reading was, but it 1736 01:41:37,575 --> 01:41:40,095 Speaker 4: should be maximum of fifty or five hundred, but it's 1737 01:41:40,175 --> 01:41:45,295 Speaker 4: up to about seven eighty. Oh craky, Yes, So anyway, 1738 01:41:45,335 --> 01:41:48,695 Speaker 4: but the question is, sorry, if i'll just fas a question. 1739 01:41:49,495 --> 01:41:49,975 Speaker 9: The question. 1740 01:41:50,455 --> 01:41:53,295 Speaker 4: One question is do I need to repipe or would 1741 01:41:53,495 --> 01:41:57,295 Speaker 4: a reducing valve make any difference possibly to that leak. 1742 01:41:58,735 --> 01:42:02,615 Speaker 3: Certainly I would take the I would go for putting 1743 01:42:02,655 --> 01:42:07,655 Speaker 3: on a pressure limiting or reducing valve, because that seems 1744 01:42:07,695 --> 01:42:11,935 Speaker 3: like a really straightforward first step, doesn't it that potentially 1745 01:42:11,975 --> 01:42:16,775 Speaker 3: the copper in the slab is okay under normal conditions, 1746 01:42:16,815 --> 01:42:23,055 Speaker 3: but if you increase the pressure, and that's what's causing 1747 01:42:23,135 --> 01:42:27,615 Speaker 3: the leaks, so dial back the pressure and then you'll 1748 01:42:27,655 --> 01:42:31,415 Speaker 3: have potentially less opportunity for leaks to be created. So 1749 01:42:31,775 --> 01:42:33,415 Speaker 3: I would do that, And I think, you know, for 1750 01:42:33,495 --> 01:42:35,695 Speaker 3: a lot of us that are in let's say older 1751 01:42:35,735 --> 01:42:40,695 Speaker 3: houses or older as in thirty forty years ago, I 1752 01:42:40,735 --> 01:42:44,775 Speaker 3: think undoubtedly what is happening is that as the infrastructure 1753 01:42:44,815 --> 01:42:48,455 Speaker 3: for the water supply out on the street gets better, 1754 01:42:49,575 --> 01:42:53,855 Speaker 3: pressure is increasing, and if it's unregulated into our houses, 1755 01:42:53,935 --> 01:42:58,775 Speaker 3: it's an unexpected impact on our houses. Right, So systems 1756 01:42:58,815 --> 01:43:01,895 Speaker 3: were designed and it was assumed that the water pressure 1757 01:43:01,935 --> 01:43:04,455 Speaker 3: would always be at this range. If the water pressure 1758 01:43:04,455 --> 01:43:06,895 Speaker 3: in the street is now higher, which it is in 1759 01:43:06,935 --> 01:43:10,255 Speaker 3: some cases, and we haven't taken control of that coming 1760 01:43:10,255 --> 01:43:13,455 Speaker 3: into our own houses, it's not surprising that some of 1761 01:43:13,495 --> 01:43:16,735 Speaker 3: our systems are failing because of the excess of pressure. 1762 01:43:17,055 --> 01:43:19,815 Speaker 3: So having a pressure reducing valve installed, I think would 1763 01:43:19,855 --> 01:43:20,935 Speaker 3: be a really good idea. 1764 01:43:21,695 --> 01:43:25,695 Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, yeah, taking that into account, it started about well, 1765 01:43:25,735 --> 01:43:29,255 Speaker 4: the leak was first noticed about four or four months ago. 1766 01:43:30,055 --> 01:43:33,055 Speaker 4: Roughly it's running at about the same level. 1767 01:43:33,655 --> 01:43:35,975 Speaker 3: Yeah, And I guess the other thing. I'm just thinking, 1768 01:43:36,015 --> 01:43:38,175 Speaker 3: in the worst case, let's say you put the valve on, 1769 01:43:38,295 --> 01:43:41,295 Speaker 3: because you'll need one regardless, right, so I would have 1770 01:43:41,415 --> 01:43:43,815 Speaker 3: that done. And then let's say you discover another leak. 1771 01:43:43,935 --> 01:43:46,815 Speaker 3: I suppose the question is how do I reroute my 1772 01:43:47,015 --> 01:43:52,375 Speaker 3: water supply throughout the house and diverted away so new 1773 01:43:52,575 --> 01:43:56,135 Speaker 3: and let can you You'd have to cut through some walls, 1774 01:43:56,175 --> 01:43:58,255 Speaker 3: open up some walls, bring it up. Is there a 1775 01:43:58,335 --> 01:44:01,255 Speaker 3: mid is there a is it single story with a 1776 01:44:01,295 --> 01:44:01,895 Speaker 3: trust roof. 1777 01:44:03,015 --> 01:44:04,455 Speaker 4: Just thanks with the trust root. 1778 01:44:04,575 --> 01:44:08,055 Speaker 3: Okay, so potentially you could get to most of your 1779 01:44:08,095 --> 01:44:11,295 Speaker 3: fittings via the roof. But you know, if you think 1780 01:44:11,295 --> 01:44:16,215 Speaker 3: about finding that supply that comes out of the floor 1781 01:44:16,695 --> 01:44:20,135 Speaker 3: to your bathroom and then having to take that diverting 1782 01:44:20,175 --> 01:44:22,855 Speaker 3: it so that you could take the supply to the 1783 01:44:23,055 --> 01:44:27,055 Speaker 3: mixer from the ceiling space, it's not an inconsiderable amount 1784 01:44:27,095 --> 01:44:29,055 Speaker 3: of work, is it. No. 1785 01:44:29,295 --> 01:44:31,335 Speaker 4: Well, I've had a couple of quite well, I've had 1786 01:44:31,575 --> 01:44:34,175 Speaker 4: three quotes, and they'll come around it, you know, to 1787 01:44:34,215 --> 01:44:37,935 Speaker 4: come and into the house, end up into the sheiling 1788 01:44:38,055 --> 01:44:40,975 Speaker 4: or the roof gap and then dropping down through the walls. 1789 01:44:40,975 --> 01:44:44,335 Speaker 4: About fifteen th sixteen thousand plus. 1790 01:44:44,495 --> 01:44:47,935 Speaker 3: Yeah, it would be, because it's it's you know, you 1791 01:44:48,055 --> 01:44:50,815 Speaker 3: just have to do so much sort of demolition in 1792 01:44:50,935 --> 01:44:53,415 Speaker 3: order to get to all of the places that you 1793 01:44:53,455 --> 01:44:56,335 Speaker 3: need to get to for the pipework. Good luck with it. 1794 01:44:56,375 --> 01:44:58,575 Speaker 3: But I think a pressure reducing valve would be a 1795 01:44:58,615 --> 01:45:02,015 Speaker 3: really good first step. Yeah, all right, thank you, Peter, 1796 01:45:02,135 --> 01:45:05,135 Speaker 3: my pleasure, nice to chat with you. Take care, really 1797 01:45:05,175 --> 01:45:09,055 Speaker 3: good tech with regard. Hey, Pete, read the whole thing 1798 01:45:09,055 --> 01:45:11,735 Speaker 3: around the hot water cylinders. We've got a wee batch 1799 01:45:11,815 --> 01:45:14,295 Speaker 3: which could be unused for several months at a time, 1800 01:45:14,415 --> 01:45:17,895 Speaker 3: So we turn off the exterior to year old hot 1801 01:45:17,895 --> 01:45:19,855 Speaker 3: water cylinder when not in use. Should we leave it 1802 01:45:19,855 --> 01:45:23,495 Speaker 3: on permanently with respect to this lead, Janella, that's a 1803 01:45:23,615 --> 01:45:27,455 Speaker 3: very good question, and I'll try and get a proper answer. 1804 01:45:27,495 --> 01:45:33,495 Speaker 3: I guess I suppose the straightforwards. I can understand why 1805 01:45:33,535 --> 01:45:35,215 Speaker 3: you would, given that you're not there for such a 1806 01:45:35,215 --> 01:45:39,095 Speaker 3: long period of time. And then can you minimize the 1807 01:45:39,255 --> 01:45:43,855 Speaker 3: risk of it developing by when you get there and 1808 01:45:43,895 --> 01:45:46,975 Speaker 3: you turn the cylinder on, that you allow it to 1809 01:45:47,015 --> 01:45:50,695 Speaker 3: get to maximum operating temperature without drawing any water off? 1810 01:45:51,175 --> 01:45:53,775 Speaker 3: Or do you then draw enough water off that you've 1811 01:45:53,815 --> 01:45:55,855 Speaker 3: removed all of the water in the tank and that 1812 01:45:55,935 --> 01:45:58,335 Speaker 3: it's fresh water in the tank and so on. But 1813 01:45:58,375 --> 01:46:01,775 Speaker 3: that's probably a question for a scientist rather than me. 1814 01:46:02,375 --> 01:46:04,495 Speaker 3: But I'll do a bit of research on that one 1815 01:46:04,615 --> 01:46:08,175 Speaker 3: mighty Easter Sunday. We might not be able to get 1816 01:46:08,175 --> 01:46:10,095 Speaker 3: an expert to speak to it on Easter Sunday, but 1817 01:46:10,575 --> 01:46:13,135 Speaker 3: I will put it down as a to do on 1818 01:46:13,215 --> 01:46:18,095 Speaker 3: my already recentably long list of to dos. We'll take 1819 01:46:18,095 --> 01:46:20,655 Speaker 3: a short break now today.
