19
00:01:53,655 --> 00:01:55,895
Speaker 5: News Talks be you're with Peak wolf Camp. There is

20
00:01:55,975 --> 00:01:58,335
Speaker 5: a builder and this is the reason. A builder on

21
00:01:58,495 --> 00:02:01,895
Speaker 5: Sunday an opportunity to talk all things building and construction.

22
00:02:02,095 --> 00:02:04,735
Speaker 5: So if you've got a question of a building nature,

23
00:02:04,735 --> 00:02:06,895
Speaker 5: and when I say a building nature, it's it's a fairly.

24
00:02:08,455 --> 00:02:10,495
Speaker 5: It's a big palette that we get to play with.

25
00:02:10,975 --> 00:02:13,255
Speaker 5: If I as a painter, there'd be a wide range

26
00:02:13,255 --> 00:02:16,175
Speaker 5: of colors. There's a wide range of topics because there's

27
00:02:16,175 --> 00:02:20,295
Speaker 5: everything from sort of the practical, right, the squeaky floorboard,

28
00:02:20,375 --> 00:02:23,335
Speaker 5: the door that won't open, the window that won't shut properly,

29
00:02:25,175 --> 00:02:29,095
Speaker 5: roof maintenance, weather board maintenance, everything that you can think of,

30
00:02:29,095 --> 00:02:31,815
Speaker 5: the practical stuff around the house, the jobs that are

31
00:02:31,895 --> 00:02:35,215
Speaker 5: probably on your list or on your phone, on your

32
00:02:35,295 --> 00:02:40,295
Speaker 5: to do list, or however you try and manage your tasks.

33
00:02:41,095 --> 00:02:43,135
Speaker 5: There'll be some tasks on there, and I'm sure we

34
00:02:43,175 --> 00:02:45,735
Speaker 5: can have a bit of a chat and see what

35
00:02:46,015 --> 00:02:49,335
Speaker 5: advice or what ideas we might have around getting those done.

36
00:02:49,695 --> 00:02:52,535
Speaker 5: Then there is, of course the legislation that governs all

37
00:02:52,575 --> 00:02:56,815
Speaker 5: of this. What rules apply, What can you do, what

38
00:02:56,895 --> 00:03:01,895
Speaker 5: can't you do? Who can do certain tasks in terms

39
00:03:01,935 --> 00:03:05,415
Speaker 5: of building and construction, repairs and maintenance. We can talk

40
00:03:05,455 --> 00:03:09,135
Speaker 5: about that. We can talk about new ideas and products

41
00:03:09,135 --> 00:03:13,055
Speaker 5: and new materials that are coming out, because this is

42
00:03:13,135 --> 00:03:18,295
Speaker 5: ever changing as well. There's constantly if not new, then

43
00:03:18,335 --> 00:03:21,455
Speaker 5: sometimes it's that you know, we're very much moving to

44
00:03:21,535 --> 00:03:24,775
Speaker 5: a systems based approach. To a lot of our building products.

45
00:03:25,415 --> 00:03:28,615
Speaker 5: And I tuned into a little bit of a podcast

46
00:03:28,655 --> 00:03:32,775
Speaker 5: the other day talking about sealants and what type of

47
00:03:32,855 --> 00:03:36,895
Speaker 5: failures you might get from sealants. So you apply a

48
00:03:36,895 --> 00:03:39,815
Speaker 5: bead of sealant in the hope that it will stop

49
00:03:40,015 --> 00:03:44,215
Speaker 5: water in gress between two surfaces, and then it can

50
00:03:44,295 --> 00:03:48,295
Speaker 5: fail either by separating from the surface or it can

51
00:03:48,575 --> 00:03:53,095
Speaker 5: separate itself and the two different What sealant you use

52
00:03:53,095 --> 00:03:56,375
Speaker 5: and what application can you paint over all of these

53
00:03:56,375 --> 00:03:59,855
Speaker 5: sorts of things. So there's little tips and tricks everywhere

54
00:03:59,975 --> 00:04:01,735
Speaker 5: that I might be able to share with you, or

55
00:04:01,775 --> 00:04:05,535
Speaker 5: that we might discover ourselves together. Eight hundred eighty ten

56
00:04:05,695 --> 00:04:08,975
Speaker 5: eighty is the number to call this morning on the show.

57
00:04:09,095 --> 00:04:11,855
Speaker 5: I'm just trying to think. I don't think we've got

58
00:04:11,855 --> 00:04:14,695
Speaker 5: any guests today, so it's all you guys basically right

59
00:04:14,775 --> 00:04:18,415
Speaker 5: through the show. I will and even Locke, my producer,

60
00:04:18,455 --> 00:04:21,735
Speaker 5: has reminded me that we're not hanging around at the

61
00:04:21,815 --> 00:04:25,535
Speaker 5: end of the show today, folks. To be fair, I'm

62
00:04:25,575 --> 00:04:27,295
Speaker 5: going to hop in the car. Lock's going to hop

63
00:04:27,335 --> 00:04:29,295
Speaker 5: in the car. We'll get both going to tootle back

64
00:04:29,335 --> 00:04:34,215
Speaker 5: to Devenport to the inaugural tool bizarre. I know I've

65
00:04:34,415 --> 00:04:37,175
Speaker 5: talked about this affair, but forgive me because it is

66
00:04:37,255 --> 00:04:40,335
Speaker 5: obviously an Auckland thing, and if you're in Auckland you

67
00:04:40,415 --> 00:04:42,415
Speaker 5: might regard it as a bit of a north Shore thing,

68
00:04:42,415 --> 00:04:44,095
Speaker 5: and if you're on the north Shore you might regard

69
00:04:44,095 --> 00:04:46,695
Speaker 5: it as a bit of a Devenport thing. But there's

70
00:04:46,695 --> 00:04:50,295
Speaker 5: a couple of things about it. One is it's old tools, right,

71
00:04:50,335 --> 00:04:53,215
Speaker 5: and who doesn't love old tools or tools in general.

72
00:04:53,255 --> 00:04:55,175
Speaker 5: They might not be that old. In fact, I know

73
00:04:55,255 --> 00:04:58,975
Speaker 5: that our local Hammer Hardware is actually they're having a

74
00:04:59,015 --> 00:05:00,935
Speaker 5: clear out of all of their stuff out the back

75
00:05:00,975 --> 00:05:03,095
Speaker 5: as well, and they're going to have a stand there

76
00:05:03,095 --> 00:05:08,375
Speaker 5: which will be fantastic. But also Lock's getting very excited,

77
00:05:08,695 --> 00:05:11,575
Speaker 5: I have to say. But it's also a community thing,

78
00:05:13,055 --> 00:05:15,855
Speaker 5: so look, I've got a real soft spot for flea

79
00:05:15,935 --> 00:05:21,815
Speaker 5: markets and markets and people coming together. So anyway, looking

80
00:05:21,815 --> 00:05:24,615
Speaker 5: forward to that today, and if I do happen to

81
00:05:24,735 --> 00:05:27,655
Speaker 5: come home with something that maybe I didn't know that

82
00:05:27,735 --> 00:05:30,655
Speaker 5: I needed, well that's not a bad thing either. So

83
00:05:31,055 --> 00:05:32,815
Speaker 5: that's on. People will be setting up in about the

84
00:05:32,815 --> 00:05:35,655
Speaker 5: next fifteen minutes or so. It opens at about eight o'clock.

85
00:05:35,695 --> 00:05:38,695
Speaker 5: It's outside the Clay store. So it's on Lake Road

86
00:05:38,775 --> 00:05:42,375
Speaker 5: in Devonport. Kicks off officially at eight o'clock. Obviously I'll

87
00:05:42,375 --> 00:05:44,135
Speaker 5: still be here at eight o'clock, but it does run

88
00:05:44,335 --> 00:05:47,815
Speaker 5: for most of the morning, so I'll get there. I reckon,

89
00:05:47,855 --> 00:05:51,535
Speaker 5: we get there in about ten minutes if we really

90
00:05:52,495 --> 00:05:55,095
Speaker 5: drive to the speed limit and responsibly and still get

91
00:05:55,135 --> 00:05:57,495
Speaker 5: there in ten minutes. Right, let's get amongst it, folks.

92
00:05:57,775 --> 00:05:59,895
Speaker 5: Welcome to the show. Lovely to be back with you

93
00:06:01,695 --> 00:06:04,735
Speaker 5: in a slightly reflective mood as well, because our first

94
00:06:05,375 --> 00:06:09,255
Speaker 5: news story this is the fact that today marks fifteen

95
00:06:09,375 --> 00:06:14,335
Speaker 5: years since the major christ Church earthquake, a day on

96
00:06:14,375 --> 00:06:17,735
Speaker 5: which some one hundred and eighty five people lost their lives,

97
00:06:18,255 --> 00:06:22,415
Speaker 5: any number of people were injured, thousands of people displaced

98
00:06:22,455 --> 00:06:25,975
Speaker 5: from their homes, and devastation of alke that we haven't

99
00:06:25,975 --> 00:06:28,095
Speaker 5: seen probably since the nineteen thirties in terms of the

100
00:06:28,175 --> 00:06:32,935
Speaker 5: napier earthquake to one of our major cities. Particularly poignant

101
00:06:32,975 --> 00:06:34,895
Speaker 5: for me given that I spent three days in christ

102
00:06:34,935 --> 00:06:38,375
Speaker 5: Church this week as our son gets into tertiary study

103
00:06:38,415 --> 00:06:42,455
Speaker 5: down there, and I did actually on Thursday morning go

104
00:06:42,495 --> 00:06:46,135
Speaker 5: for a nice long walk in the early morning, including

105
00:06:46,295 --> 00:06:49,535
Speaker 5: taking the time to go past that memorial alongside the

106
00:06:49,535 --> 00:06:52,775
Speaker 5: banks of the river Avon flows through the middle of

107
00:06:52,815 --> 00:06:56,575
Speaker 5: the city in a very poignant and thoughtful moment there

108
00:06:56,615 --> 00:06:59,415
Speaker 5: as well. So certainly be thinking of christ Church today

109
00:06:59,455 --> 00:07:02,695
Speaker 5: as they think of those people whose lives ended today

110
00:07:03,255 --> 00:07:06,375
Speaker 5: and the devastation that it wrought for the city. Also,

111
00:07:06,855 --> 00:07:09,975
Speaker 5: you've got to say the city is I've been down

112
00:07:10,015 --> 00:07:12,415
Speaker 5: a couple of times over the last few years, but

113
00:07:13,215 --> 00:07:17,335
Speaker 5: walking around, driving around, staying there, going out to the

114
00:07:17,415 --> 00:07:21,095
Speaker 5: local cafes and that sort of thing. It's a great city.

115
00:07:21,135 --> 00:07:24,255
Speaker 5: It's really on its way to being a really great city.

116
00:07:24,695 --> 00:07:27,375
Speaker 5: So thank you, Grus. You really love being down there.

Speaker 5: morning to you.

129
00:08:06,295 --> 00:08:09,455
Speaker 6: That's good morning, Pete. I thought I thought it was Peter.

130
00:08:09,615 --> 00:08:10,335
Speaker 6: I wasn't sure.

131
00:08:10,535 --> 00:08:12,495
Speaker 5: Oh I don't mind either way.

132
00:08:12,895 --> 00:08:15,935
Speaker 6: Listen, Peter. We have got a wooden floor in our

133
00:08:16,015 --> 00:08:18,575
Speaker 6: kitchen and the fridge is leaked on top of it.

134
00:08:19,615 --> 00:08:22,775
Speaker 6: The joins have gone sort of dark yep, and it's

135
00:08:22,815 --> 00:08:27,695
Speaker 6: not particularly a big leak, probably about twelve inches long

136
00:08:28,255 --> 00:08:32,935
Speaker 6: on about four of the planks. Now we've had conflicting

137
00:08:33,015 --> 00:08:36,535
Speaker 6: people being out. We've had the insurance people out. And

138
00:08:36,735 --> 00:08:38,855
Speaker 6: I was always told when we moved in here was

139
00:08:38,855 --> 00:08:42,055
Speaker 6: four years old that it was a floating floor. Right

140
00:08:42,575 --> 00:08:46,615
Speaker 6: now the insurance man says it's not. And I haven't

141
00:08:46,615 --> 00:08:48,575
Speaker 6: heard from him for over a month, and then all

142
00:08:48,615 --> 00:08:50,855
Speaker 6: of a sudden it turned up as an email and

143
00:08:50,895 --> 00:08:53,655
Speaker 6: they said they want to replace my whole floor. Well,

144
00:08:54,455 --> 00:08:58,695
Speaker 6: well I have quite a big excess, and I thought, well, gee,

145
00:08:58,735 --> 00:09:01,575
Speaker 6: I don't know. I think i'd better check with somebody else.

146
00:09:01,615 --> 00:09:04,095
Speaker 6: So I got somebody local to come in and have

147
00:09:04,175 --> 00:09:08,375
Speaker 6: a look. And he's quoted me under my excess. Yes,

148
00:09:08,575 --> 00:09:12,695
Speaker 6: but he's quoted me as cleaning it, sending it, and

149
00:09:12,735 --> 00:09:19,175
Speaker 6: then you're saying three coats, right, it's a shiny floor.

150
00:09:19,255 --> 00:09:21,615
Speaker 6: And he said to me, will be best to do

151
00:09:21,655 --> 00:09:24,975
Speaker 6: it in a matter I think it's called yeah sure,

152
00:09:25,015 --> 00:09:28,935
Speaker 6: so that yeah, so that those marks probably won't show

153
00:09:29,015 --> 00:09:32,175
Speaker 6: up as bad yep. Okay, but I don't know what

154
00:09:32,295 --> 00:09:34,495
Speaker 6: to do because he says it's a floating floor.

155
00:09:34,495 --> 00:09:38,935
Speaker 5: The second man, right, okay, roughly, do you know how

156
00:09:39,055 --> 00:09:39,895
Speaker 5: old the house is?

157
00:09:40,615 --> 00:09:42,455
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's twenty three years old.

158
00:09:43,175 --> 00:09:48,415
Speaker 5: Okay, yeah, I mean at twenty three years old, it

159
00:09:48,495 --> 00:09:51,695
Speaker 5: might be a little bit tricky to actually So the

160
00:09:51,735 --> 00:09:56,095
Speaker 5: floor itself is the floor laid over another floor. So

161
00:09:56,215 --> 00:09:59,135
Speaker 5: would there be particle board down throughout the house or

162
00:09:59,175 --> 00:10:00,215
Speaker 5: a concrete floor?

163
00:10:00,615 --> 00:10:01,815
Speaker 6: So which is the concrete?

164
00:10:02,135 --> 00:10:02,335
Speaker 7: House?

165
00:10:02,455 --> 00:10:05,135
Speaker 6: Is all concrete floor except for the kitchen as far

166
00:10:05,175 --> 00:10:08,535
Speaker 6: as I know. One of my friends did put a

167
00:10:08,615 --> 00:10:11,415
Speaker 6: drill down the back where the back of the fridge, yes,

168
00:10:11,455 --> 00:10:14,455
Speaker 6: and he said he couldn't get touched concrete.

169
00:10:16,095 --> 00:10:18,735
Speaker 5: So you are a slope slightly, because the only reason

170
00:10:18,775 --> 00:10:22,255
Speaker 5: you'd sort of go from timber to concrete is typically

171
00:10:22,295 --> 00:10:24,335
Speaker 5: that you do a concrete slab on an area of

172
00:10:24,375 --> 00:10:27,375
Speaker 5: the section that's flat. And then where it falls away,

173
00:10:28,295 --> 00:10:31,135
Speaker 5: then you extend out with timber Joyst. Either way, someone

174
00:10:31,495 --> 00:10:33,855
Speaker 5: should be able to determine exactly how that works.

175
00:10:34,695 --> 00:10:36,935
Speaker 6: I thought i'd bring you and see if I could

176
00:10:36,975 --> 00:10:38,615
Speaker 6: get somebody who is independent.

177
00:10:41,695 --> 00:10:44,295
Speaker 5: And I guess you're not the original sort of owner buildings.

178
00:10:44,335 --> 00:10:48,135
Speaker 6: No. Four years and we're in our eighties now, So

179
00:10:48,415 --> 00:10:50,215
Speaker 6: I don't want my whole kitchen pull down.

180
00:10:51,775 --> 00:10:54,055
Speaker 5: No, I can understand that. But at the same time,

181
00:10:54,175 --> 00:10:57,015
Speaker 5: you also don't want to end up with a repair

182
00:10:57,215 --> 00:11:02,175
Speaker 5: perhaps that effectively devalues your house because they've done a

183
00:11:02,255 --> 00:11:05,615
Speaker 5: targeted repair and it's obviously different to the rest of

184
00:11:05,655 --> 00:11:06,055
Speaker 5: the house.

185
00:11:07,215 --> 00:11:10,055
Speaker 6: But the rest of the house is just all carpet, Okay.

186
00:11:10,535 --> 00:11:13,495
Speaker 6: The wooden floor is the only part in the kitchen, and.

187
00:11:13,415 --> 00:11:15,815
Speaker 5: It's just in the kitchen, and it's kitchen, dining.

188
00:11:15,535 --> 00:11:18,415
Speaker 8: Living, No, no, just the kitchen, just the kitchen.

189
00:11:18,615 --> 00:11:23,295
Speaker 5: Okay. They wouldn't necessarily need to remove the kitchen in

190
00:11:23,415 --> 00:11:25,815
Speaker 5: order to do that, So if you did want to

191
00:11:25,855 --> 00:11:28,335
Speaker 5: go ahead, Actually, now I'm starting to get a picture

192
00:11:28,335 --> 00:11:31,535
Speaker 5: as to why the insurance assessor is probably going Actually,

193
00:11:31,535 --> 00:11:33,575
Speaker 5: you know what, we could spend a lot of time

194
00:11:33,655 --> 00:11:38,175
Speaker 5: trying to repair let's say two square meters of your kitchen,

195
00:11:38,615 --> 00:11:44,255
Speaker 5: whereas the entire floor might be twelve or fifteen square meters, right,

196
00:11:44,615 --> 00:11:47,375
Speaker 5: and in that case, and then it's still going to

197
00:11:47,455 --> 00:11:50,375
Speaker 5: whatever we repair is going to look different slightly to

198
00:11:50,455 --> 00:11:54,015
Speaker 5: the piece that we don't repair. Therefore, we'd look at

199
00:11:54,015 --> 00:11:56,335
Speaker 5: doing the whole thing. That might be the insurer's assessors

200
00:11:56,415 --> 00:11:58,975
Speaker 5: point of view. Then the other person that you've come

201
00:11:59,055 --> 00:12:00,895
Speaker 5: has said, Okay, well, what we can do is we

202
00:12:00,935 --> 00:12:03,935
Speaker 5: can repair that and then we'll sand the entire floor,

203
00:12:04,055 --> 00:12:07,535
Speaker 5: recoat the whole thing, yes, and blend it in. I

204
00:12:07,535 --> 00:12:10,535
Speaker 5: mean that seems because unless there's actual damage to the

205
00:12:10,655 --> 00:12:13,655
Speaker 5: timber itself, so that I.

206
00:12:13,575 --> 00:12:16,015
Speaker 6: Do notice that it has a bit of a squeak.

207
00:12:15,695 --> 00:12:19,415
Speaker 5: At the moment, okay, which would be a little bit annoying.

208
00:12:21,415 --> 00:12:23,335
Speaker 6: My husband said, it's fine, he can't hear.

209
00:12:23,375 --> 00:12:27,855
Speaker 9: It's there.

210
00:12:28,055 --> 00:12:29,975
Speaker 5: There's advantages, It's okay.

211
00:12:30,095 --> 00:12:32,855
Speaker 6: I mean, I think it has had squeaks, isn't it.

212
00:12:32,895 --> 00:12:34,855
Speaker 6: And the guy did say to me that it's a

213
00:12:34,935 --> 00:12:36,215
Speaker 6: sort of atmospheric.

214
00:12:36,855 --> 00:12:37,215
Speaker 7: Yeah.

215
00:12:37,255 --> 00:12:39,815
Speaker 6: Well he got down on the floor and he said

216
00:12:39,855 --> 00:12:42,255
Speaker 6: he can feel the vibration, and he said, that is

217
00:12:42,855 --> 00:12:48,335
Speaker 6: a floating floor. Don't I know anything about it?

218
00:12:48,615 --> 00:12:52,695
Speaker 5: No, no, no, you know what you know? I see, I

219
00:12:52,735 --> 00:12:55,535
Speaker 5: think that a floating floor. If you were to lift

220
00:12:55,535 --> 00:12:58,535
Speaker 5: the fridge out and maybe remove a skirting board or

221
00:12:58,535 --> 00:13:00,495
Speaker 5: something like that, you'd soon know whether it was a

222
00:13:00,535 --> 00:13:01,575
Speaker 5: floating floor or not.

223
00:13:02,415 --> 00:13:03,615
Speaker 6: Do you think we should do that?

224
00:13:04,695 --> 00:13:05,015
Speaker 10: Well?

225
00:13:05,615 --> 00:13:10,055
Speaker 5: Yeah, I look, if you were in Auckland, i'd know someone.

226
00:13:10,455 --> 00:13:13,935
Speaker 5: Unfortunately I don't know a flooring contractor who's, like you say,

227
00:13:13,975 --> 00:13:17,975
Speaker 5: independent in that sense, like if it was a floating floor,

228
00:13:18,975 --> 00:13:20,695
Speaker 5: because it's not going to be any trouble to lift

229
00:13:20,735 --> 00:13:23,295
Speaker 5: that apart from where it tucks underneath the tokis and

230
00:13:23,335 --> 00:13:25,655
Speaker 5: so on. So if it was a floating floor, I'd

231
00:13:25,655 --> 00:13:29,255
Speaker 5: probably take the appliances out, get a team in, cut

232
00:13:29,295 --> 00:13:31,735
Speaker 5: around some of the upstands and that sort of thing,

233
00:13:31,855 --> 00:13:35,695
Speaker 5: lift the floor out, redo the floor, job done, because

234
00:13:35,695 --> 00:13:40,335
Speaker 5: it's a relatively small area. But I also understand that

235
00:13:40,375 --> 00:13:42,615
Speaker 5: if that's what the insurance assessor has done.

236
00:13:42,975 --> 00:13:46,055
Speaker 6: He said the insurance Look, I'm not going to bother

237
00:13:46,135 --> 00:13:50,575
Speaker 6: because I haven't even heard from them, right, Because then

238
00:13:50,615 --> 00:13:52,775
Speaker 6: I got the other guy in and I thought, well,

239
00:13:52,815 --> 00:13:55,095
Speaker 6: maybe I'll just go with him because he was local

240
00:13:55,175 --> 00:13:59,215
Speaker 6: and thirty years experience. I don't he seemed quite good.

241
00:14:00,255 --> 00:14:01,215
Speaker 11: But I just.

242
00:14:03,255 --> 00:14:04,655
Speaker 6: I just don't know what to do.

243
00:14:05,295 --> 00:14:09,015
Speaker 5: Yeah, and I understand that making a decision with some

244
00:14:09,135 --> 00:14:12,935
Speaker 5: uncertainty is challenging, right, so you go, I'm not exactly sure.

245
00:14:12,935 --> 00:14:15,335
Speaker 5: Whereas if someone walked in and went, yep, it's a

246
00:14:15,335 --> 00:14:18,335
Speaker 5: floating floor. It's not going to take us too long

247
00:14:18,415 --> 00:14:21,055
Speaker 5: to take it up, and we'll simply replace the floor.

248
00:14:21,095 --> 00:14:23,655
Speaker 5: That's a really good solution if it happened to be

249
00:14:24,455 --> 00:14:27,775
Speaker 5: like it's obviously an overlay of some description. So if

250
00:14:27,815 --> 00:14:30,055
Speaker 5: it was glued down and you had to pull the

251
00:14:30,095 --> 00:14:31,855
Speaker 5: boards up and then you had to sand all the

252
00:14:31,935 --> 00:14:34,455
Speaker 5: glue off and so on, that's kind of disruptive and

253
00:14:34,975 --> 00:14:36,695
Speaker 5: noisy and dusty and all the rest of it, and

254
00:14:36,695 --> 00:14:40,815
Speaker 5: that's quite a major job. Then you might say, well, look,

255
00:14:40,855 --> 00:14:43,215
Speaker 5: can we do a targeted repair. The other thing is

256
00:14:43,255 --> 00:14:46,255
Speaker 5: where the water damage is. Obviously, if the fridge leaked,

257
00:14:46,695 --> 00:14:48,935
Speaker 5: is the water damage sort of in front of the

258
00:14:48,975 --> 00:14:51,855
Speaker 5: fridge and quite off? Yeah, okay, just.

259
00:14:51,855 --> 00:14:55,855
Speaker 6: That front piece. I mean the kids came yesterday, they

260
00:14:55,935 --> 00:14:58,855
Speaker 6: will they had one look at it and said I.

261
00:14:58,815 --> 00:15:03,255
Speaker 5: Wouldn't bother right, Yeah, well, in that sense, sort of

262
00:15:03,295 --> 00:15:07,135
Speaker 5: going lightly and if the contractor when you say thirty

263
00:15:07,175 --> 00:15:10,215
Speaker 5: years experience, if it's you know, if there's some recommendations

264
00:15:10,255 --> 00:15:12,095
Speaker 5: there that this is someone who knows what they're doing,

265
00:15:12,095 --> 00:15:14,575
Speaker 5: and if you've been in business thirty years, chances are

266
00:15:14,655 --> 00:15:17,415
Speaker 5: you do. And they can come in and do a

267
00:15:17,455 --> 00:15:20,495
Speaker 5: targeted repair and it's going to cost you less than

268
00:15:20,775 --> 00:15:22,695
Speaker 5: what you would have to front up in terms of

269
00:15:22,735 --> 00:15:26,095
Speaker 5: you paying the excess, then that sounds like not a

270
00:15:26,135 --> 00:15:30,535
Speaker 5: bad solution. My only comment about the Matt finish is,

271
00:15:30,855 --> 00:15:32,695
Speaker 5: as I understand it, the way it works is that

272
00:15:33,615 --> 00:15:39,455
Speaker 5: gloss finishes are harder wearing, right, So what you can

273
00:15:39,575 --> 00:15:42,935
Speaker 5: do or talk with the contractor about it is, once

274
00:15:42,975 --> 00:15:45,895
Speaker 5: they've sanded it and prepped it, they do a gloss

275
00:15:45,895 --> 00:15:49,615
Speaker 5: coat which gives you your hard wearing surface over the floor,

276
00:15:49,935 --> 00:15:52,575
Speaker 5: and then you apply a matte coat over the top

277
00:15:52,735 --> 00:15:56,535
Speaker 5: to reduce the gloss level, which is nice, but having

278
00:15:56,575 --> 00:16:00,415
Speaker 5: the hard wearing, high gloss finish is really important.

279
00:16:01,655 --> 00:16:05,775
Speaker 8: So saying again, that's the gloss, yeah, so coach, then

280
00:16:06,375 --> 00:16:08,895
Speaker 8: the mass is the finish, Yeah, that's it.

281
00:16:09,775 --> 00:16:10,015
Speaker 12: Yeah.

282
00:16:10,655 --> 00:16:16,015
Speaker 5: Gives you someone to speak about it's difficult. I get it,

283
00:16:16,135 --> 00:16:18,255
Speaker 5: I get it, and it's one of those things too.

284
00:16:18,295 --> 00:16:21,255
Speaker 5: Insurance companies must love people like you that go, I'm

285
00:16:21,255 --> 00:16:22,855
Speaker 5: going to pay insure. It's my whole life that I'm

286
00:16:22,855 --> 00:16:23,655
Speaker 5: not going to claim.

287
00:16:24,175 --> 00:16:30,455
Speaker 6: Yeah, and it's not a small excess because you say,

288
00:16:30,535 --> 00:16:34,135
Speaker 6: fifteen years we were in the earthquakes and most of

289
00:16:34,135 --> 00:16:35,815
Speaker 6: the houses in my street fell down.

290
00:16:36,775 --> 00:16:40,815
Speaker 5: But my wonder, can I just ask you a question

291
00:16:40,815 --> 00:16:43,775
Speaker 5: about that. You've obviously stayed in christ Church, you went

292
00:16:43,815 --> 00:16:47,775
Speaker 5: through the earthquake in neighbors, neighbors were impacted. Is it

293
00:16:47,775 --> 00:16:50,495
Speaker 5: something that's sort of on a daylight today, is a

294
00:16:50,495 --> 00:16:52,855
Speaker 5: little bit sort of somber or a little bit thoughtful.

295
00:16:54,175 --> 00:16:57,815
Speaker 6: Well, the dynamics of the street has changed when we

296
00:16:57,855 --> 00:17:00,855
Speaker 6: moved in, because we all moved in and we were

297
00:17:00,895 --> 00:17:04,735
Speaker 6: probably in our thirty fifties and what have you. But

298
00:17:05,175 --> 00:17:11,015
Speaker 6: everything's changed. The houses have all been rebuilt. People don't talk.

299
00:17:11,975 --> 00:17:14,495
Speaker 6: We used to always have a barbecue in our street

300
00:17:14,615 --> 00:17:19,095
Speaker 6: and it was lovely and we all got together after

301
00:17:19,175 --> 00:17:21,455
Speaker 6: it for a while. But then they started moving out,

302
00:17:21,495 --> 00:17:26,215
Speaker 6: you see, and other people moved in and rebuild started,

303
00:17:26,335 --> 00:17:30,695
Speaker 6: and it's I know, two neighbors on my street now

304
00:17:31,695 --> 00:17:37,175
Speaker 6: I knew everyone. Yeah, it's it's quite somber. Because my

305
00:17:37,255 --> 00:17:42,575
Speaker 6: neighbor across the road his house dropped about two feet

306
00:17:43,615 --> 00:17:45,775
Speaker 6: and he said to me, I'm the only one in

307
00:17:45,815 --> 00:17:50,055
Speaker 6: the Christchurch that's got a moat running around us. So

308
00:17:50,175 --> 00:17:52,215
Speaker 6: you can imagine when it's like you had stepped into

309
00:17:52,335 --> 00:17:56,935
Speaker 6: the house, stepped down and it was cracked right through. Shocking.

310
00:17:57,135 --> 00:18:03,375
Speaker 8: Yeah, absolutely absolutely, we've so you don't know anyone independent

311
00:18:03,415 --> 00:18:04,495
Speaker 8: that could come and have a lot.

312
00:18:05,415 --> 00:18:08,135
Speaker 5: Go that one makes me a contact, I'm more than happy.

313
00:18:08,175 --> 00:18:10,215
Speaker 5: So I'll just hand you back to Lock, my producer,

314
00:18:10,375 --> 00:18:13,415
Speaker 5: and you leave your number with Lock and if someone

315
00:18:13,455 --> 00:18:16,135
Speaker 5: phones through and otherwise, actually I did. I was in

316
00:18:16,215 --> 00:18:18,575
Speaker 5: Krush Church this week and had a chat to a

317
00:18:18,575 --> 00:18:21,055
Speaker 5: couple of builders down there. I'm sure if I rang

318
00:18:21,535 --> 00:18:23,695
Speaker 5: one of them I'd get a contact for you. So

319
00:18:23,815 --> 00:18:27,535
Speaker 5: stay on the line please, Rose righty Oh Sex twenty

320
00:18:27,535 --> 00:18:30,655
Speaker 5: four at new Stalk CB. Nice actually to have a

321
00:18:30,655 --> 00:18:32,015
Speaker 5: bit of a chat. I mean, this is the thing,

322
00:18:32,095 --> 00:18:35,495
Speaker 5: you know, events like that impact people's lives for a

323
00:18:35,535 --> 00:18:38,655
Speaker 5: long time. And also, without wanting to draw too long

324
00:18:38,695 --> 00:18:42,975
Speaker 5: a bow, the whole point of this is a sort

325
00:18:42,975 --> 00:18:45,575
Speaker 5: of an interesting history lesson that I had the other day.

326
00:18:45,695 --> 00:18:50,215
Speaker 5: I'm doing some training and around sort of the legislation

327
00:18:50,455 --> 00:18:53,815
Speaker 5: around the Building Act and why we have a building code.

328
00:18:53,855 --> 00:18:56,135
Speaker 5: And essentially we have a building code in New Zealand

329
00:18:56,175 --> 00:19:00,775
Speaker 5: in a large part because of the Napier earthquake. That's

330
00:19:00,975 --> 00:19:04,655
Speaker 5: why we have a building code because suddenly government realized that, well,

331
00:19:04,695 --> 00:19:08,535
Speaker 5: without certain standards of how we construct houses when we

332
00:19:08,655 --> 00:19:11,935
Speaker 5: have these natural disasters, and if we don't have a

333
00:19:11,975 --> 00:19:15,455
Speaker 5: building code that determines how strong a house needs to be,

334
00:19:15,575 --> 00:19:18,535
Speaker 5: how it's going to resist various forces, then we're going

335
00:19:18,575 --> 00:19:20,295
Speaker 5: to have failures, and some of those failures are going

336
00:19:20,375 --> 00:19:23,015
Speaker 5: to cost lives. That's where the building code comes from. Oh,

337
00:19:23,055 --> 00:19:25,095
Speaker 5: eight hundred eighty ten eighty is the number to call.

338
00:19:25,095 --> 00:19:26,895
Speaker 5: Will take a short break at six twenty five. We'll

339
00:19:26,895 --> 00:19:28,495
Speaker 5: talk to Emma in a moment. We've got a couple

340
00:19:28,535 --> 00:19:31,815
Speaker 5: of spare lines. Eight hundred eighty ten eighty is the number.

341
00:19:32,575 --> 00:19:34,695
Speaker 5: Squeaky door or squeaky floor.

342
00:19:34,895 --> 00:19:38,335
Speaker 1: Get the right advice from Peter Wolfcare the resident builder

343
00:19:38,415 --> 00:19:40,695
Speaker 1: on us talks B, your.

344
00:19:40,615 --> 00:19:42,775
Speaker 5: Use talks B and thanks for a couple of texts

345
00:19:42,775 --> 00:19:46,615
Speaker 5: as well, an interesting one from you and the woman.

346
00:19:46,655 --> 00:19:49,055
Speaker 5: The lady with the fridge leak should get the whole

347
00:19:49,055 --> 00:19:52,255
Speaker 5: floor replaced as the black is caused that as the

348
00:19:52,295 --> 00:19:56,175
Speaker 5: black caused by the leakers, mold and therefore a health issue.

349
00:19:56,295 --> 00:19:57,935
Speaker 5: I mean, you could dry that out and treat that.

350
00:19:57,975 --> 00:20:02,415
Speaker 5: To be fair, I hear what you're saying, but in

351
00:20:02,455 --> 00:20:05,975
Speaker 5: and of itself, I mean it's it's solvable without necessary

352
00:20:06,015 --> 00:20:09,615
Speaker 5: replace the floor if it's if it's well treated. So

353
00:20:09,935 --> 00:20:13,775
Speaker 5: but I appreciate the text. Actually, quick, quick, one that's

354
00:20:13,815 --> 00:20:15,815
Speaker 5: come through, Pete. I've got a five year old house

355
00:20:15,855 --> 00:20:18,375
Speaker 5: and I noticed that nails have popped through the jib

356
00:20:18,455 --> 00:20:20,935
Speaker 5: ceiling in a couple of spots in two of the bedrooms.

357
00:20:21,055 --> 00:20:23,575
Speaker 5: Is this anything of concern? How do you fix it?

358
00:20:23,695 --> 00:20:31,695
Speaker 5: Chairs from Calvin. Look, it's not completely unexpected, but it

359
00:20:31,775 --> 00:20:36,175
Speaker 5: also doesn't need to happen, So I know I'm fudging

360
00:20:36,175 --> 00:20:39,815
Speaker 5: it there a little bit. But look, I've seen done

361
00:20:39,975 --> 00:20:44,095
Speaker 5: plenty of houses where we've we've fixed the plaster board.

362
00:20:44,215 --> 00:20:46,415
Speaker 5: It might be GiB, it might be another product. We've

363
00:20:46,415 --> 00:20:50,335
Speaker 5: fixed the plaster board in the right conditions, using the

364
00:20:50,415 --> 00:20:54,535
Speaker 5: right materials, in accordance with the manufacturers and instructions, and

365
00:20:54,815 --> 00:20:58,575
Speaker 5: you don't get popping. So typically where you do get popping,

366
00:20:58,655 --> 00:21:03,895
Speaker 5: it's because the contractor has either rushed the job, used

367
00:21:03,895 --> 00:21:08,015
Speaker 5: the wrong substrate, and that sort of thing. So it's

368
00:21:08,015 --> 00:21:12,335
Speaker 5: probably indicative of some quality issues in general, but look

369
00:21:12,375 --> 00:21:15,735
Speaker 5: in and of itself, leave it for another year or so,

370
00:21:15,855 --> 00:21:19,135
Speaker 5: maybe go through another cycle of summer and winter. You

371
00:21:19,215 --> 00:21:21,655
Speaker 5: can repair them, but you will need to repaint the

372
00:21:21,735 --> 00:21:25,815
Speaker 5: ceiling as well. Calvin talking about developers, Emma A very

373
00:21:25,815 --> 00:21:26,335
Speaker 5: good morning.

374
00:21:27,375 --> 00:21:28,735
Speaker 13: Yes, good morning too.

375
00:21:28,815 --> 00:21:31,215
Speaker 14: I hope you can help me out. I've got a

376
00:21:31,295 --> 00:21:38,015
Speaker 14: question on vertical planking, which is capping. So the backstory

377
00:21:38,495 --> 00:21:42,695
Speaker 14: is that we had a property developer project managed to

378
00:21:42,735 --> 00:21:48,975
Speaker 14: build and he installed an earthen pine product and its

379
00:21:49,095 --> 00:21:51,375
Speaker 14: vertical planking, and then it's also bricked the rest of

380
00:21:51,415 --> 00:21:51,815
Speaker 14: the house.

381
00:21:52,855 --> 00:21:56,895
Speaker 5: So just to be clear, so this was a new

382
00:21:56,935 --> 00:22:01,255
Speaker 5: build for you and you've commissioned for me. Yeah, okay,

383
00:22:01,295 --> 00:22:05,775
Speaker 5: so for you, so you contracted the contractors, or you

384
00:22:06,335 --> 00:22:10,735
Speaker 5: deployed the contracts, or you employed the PM to do that.

385
00:22:12,135 --> 00:22:15,135
Speaker 14: I just paid the property developer his asking price and

386
00:22:15,175 --> 00:22:18,175
Speaker 14: he was going to do all the building and everything.

387
00:22:17,815 --> 00:22:19,975
Speaker 13: Along the way, and I just picked, you know, like.

388
00:22:21,535 --> 00:22:22,455
Speaker 15: Reason sort of.

389
00:22:22,455 --> 00:22:25,255
Speaker 5: A new build off the plan. And then because you

390
00:22:25,295 --> 00:22:27,975
Speaker 5: had bought before the building was built, you could then

391
00:22:28,015 --> 00:22:31,175
Speaker 5: have someone put into the finishes and so on. That's right, Okay,

392
00:22:31,775 --> 00:22:32,015
Speaker 5: with you.

393
00:22:32,255 --> 00:22:35,415
Speaker 14: Yes, yes, and that was in twenty twenty one, so.

394
00:22:35,735 --> 00:22:37,095
Speaker 5: Later the market too long ago?

395
00:22:37,215 --> 00:22:44,935
Speaker 16: Yep, yes, and yes, well just before that, yes, finishing time.

396
00:22:45,015 --> 00:22:48,695
Speaker 16: But what's happened is since then that we've noticed that

397
00:22:48,735 --> 00:22:54,975
Speaker 16: there's been nails popping out of the vertical planking, and

398
00:22:55,095 --> 00:22:57,935
Speaker 16: then when we look at the bottom of the planks

399
00:22:57,935 --> 00:22:59,215
Speaker 16: you can see that they're cupping.

400
00:22:59,575 --> 00:22:59,895
Speaker 5: Yes.

401
00:23:00,055 --> 00:23:03,215
Speaker 14: Now, we had the builder who built the house come

402
00:23:03,255 --> 00:23:08,455
Speaker 14: by and specked on site with us last week. He said, oh, okay,

403
00:23:08,495 --> 00:23:12,455
Speaker 14: well yeah, at the time he told us at that

404
00:23:12,615 --> 00:23:15,615
Speaker 14: meeting late last week that at the time they didn't

405
00:23:15,655 --> 00:23:18,055
Speaker 14: know there was something maybe with the product, but they

406
00:23:18,095 --> 00:23:18,575
Speaker 14: installed it.

407
00:23:18,615 --> 00:23:22,615
Speaker 17: Anyway. He's said it.

408
00:23:22,615 --> 00:23:25,335
Speaker 14: To the developer, who sent me an email saying if

409
00:23:25,375 --> 00:23:30,295
Speaker 14: you can imagine avoiding any sort of claim on it,

410
00:23:30,455 --> 00:23:35,175
Speaker 14: saying that, well, I chose a different color stain. That

411
00:23:35,575 --> 00:23:38,975
Speaker 14: means that he is wiping his hands clean of this,

412
00:23:39,135 --> 00:23:41,295
Speaker 14: and I'll have to raise an insurance claim if I

413
00:23:41,375 --> 00:23:45,815
Speaker 14: want this fixed, because the cratting is failing and requires

414
00:23:45,935 --> 00:23:50,335
Speaker 14: remedial works, and because I said, because of the stain

415
00:23:50,895 --> 00:23:53,815
Speaker 14: that I didn't follow him his recommendation on the stain,

416
00:23:54,495 --> 00:23:58,895
Speaker 14: that he won't be part of any remedial work. However,

417
00:23:59,255 --> 00:24:02,615
Speaker 14: we do have a picture before the stain went on

418
00:24:03,615 --> 00:24:05,695
Speaker 14: and the tapping was present, then before any.

419
00:24:05,535 --> 00:24:06,135
Speaker 17: Stain went on.

420
00:24:06,775 --> 00:24:08,175
Speaker 5: Okay, good stuff, I've.

421
00:24:08,095 --> 00:24:08,895
Speaker 17: Got the date on it.

422
00:24:08,975 --> 00:24:09,975
Speaker 13: But I don't know.

423
00:24:10,215 --> 00:24:13,095
Speaker 14: I don't know what happens now, Yeah, okay, does happen

424
00:24:13,135 --> 00:24:13,575
Speaker 14: from stay?

425
00:24:15,175 --> 00:24:15,855
Speaker 17: What do you do next?

426
00:24:15,935 --> 00:24:19,655
Speaker 5: In this case, it's going to be a little bit

427
00:24:19,655 --> 00:24:24,255
Speaker 5: of detective work and it's probably going to get legal

428
00:24:24,295 --> 00:24:36,335
Speaker 5: pretty quickly. Right, So if it's interesting the response from

429
00:24:36,375 --> 00:24:38,495
Speaker 5: the developer, because it's one of those things that it

430
00:24:38,615 --> 00:24:41,455
Speaker 5: sounds kind of scary, like you made a choice, therefore

431
00:24:41,535 --> 00:24:44,655
Speaker 5: I'm not responsible for it, So then you have to

432
00:24:44,735 --> 00:24:49,895
Speaker 5: test that claim. So obviously, given that the house is

433
00:24:49,935 --> 00:24:52,735
Speaker 5: relatively new, you'll be able to find out exactly what

434
00:24:52,775 --> 00:24:55,855
Speaker 5: the name of the product is, what the who the

435
00:24:55,895 --> 00:24:58,935
Speaker 5: manufacturer is, and from there you'll be able to get

436
00:24:59,695 --> 00:25:04,975
Speaker 5: all of the manufacturer's instructions, including information about what types

437
00:25:05,015 --> 00:25:08,095
Speaker 5: of colors, and then that will be some discussion and

438
00:25:08,135 --> 00:25:11,695
Speaker 5: the manufacturer's documents about things like the light reflectance value

439
00:25:11,735 --> 00:25:16,855
Speaker 5: the LRV, right, and that works on a scale where

440
00:25:17,375 --> 00:25:22,455
Speaker 5: dark colors obviously attract more light, and so manufacturers will say,

441
00:25:22,855 --> 00:25:28,175
Speaker 5: you can't choose a color that has light reflectance value

442
00:25:28,375 --> 00:25:32,575
Speaker 5: of greater than whatever the number is, and so then

443
00:25:32,655 --> 00:25:34,975
Speaker 5: you can go and look at the color that you

444
00:25:35,215 --> 00:25:38,775
Speaker 5: chose and talk to the manufacturer about that, and then

445
00:25:38,935 --> 00:25:41,255
Speaker 5: the manufacturer will tell you what that number is. So,

446
00:25:41,335 --> 00:25:44,055
Speaker 5: for example, if you've got a Razine fan deck and

447
00:25:44,095 --> 00:25:46,095
Speaker 5: you go to the back of a Razine fan deck

448
00:25:46,135 --> 00:25:49,215
Speaker 5: for their standard color range, every single color in there

449
00:25:50,135 --> 00:25:54,455
Speaker 5: will have an LRV number attached to it in the

450
00:25:54,455 --> 00:25:57,095
Speaker 5: index at the back. So this is all just really

451
00:25:57,295 --> 00:26:00,695
Speaker 5: clear stuff. So manufacturer says it's got to be thirty

452
00:26:00,695 --> 00:26:07,095
Speaker 5: five and below, and the color that you've chosen is one, Well,

453
00:26:07,135 --> 00:26:08,895
Speaker 5: then it's not an issue, right, And you can go

454
00:26:08,975 --> 00:26:11,415
Speaker 5: back to the developer and say, hear what you're saying,

455
00:26:11,615 --> 00:26:16,535
Speaker 5: but you're wrong, and then attach that and that photograph

456
00:26:16,615 --> 00:26:23,215
Speaker 5: that you've got of the cladding that was essentially pre cupped, right, yes,

457
00:26:23,335 --> 00:26:27,175
Speaker 5: you know what I mean. And then but then you've

458
00:26:27,175 --> 00:26:29,615
Speaker 5: also got an issue with the builder. Right, So I

459
00:26:29,735 --> 00:26:32,015
Speaker 5: take it that the person who installed the cladding is

460
00:26:32,055 --> 00:26:37,615
Speaker 5: a licensed building practitioner, Yes, yes, exactly, So as a

461
00:26:37,655 --> 00:26:43,055
Speaker 5: licensed building practitioner, they have a responsibility In twenty twenty

462
00:26:43,575 --> 00:26:46,935
Speaker 5: twenty one, the Code of Ethics hadn't been introduced yet,

463
00:26:46,975 --> 00:26:50,175
Speaker 5: but they still as an LBP, have a responsibility. So

464
00:26:50,735 --> 00:26:54,695
Speaker 5: if the developer says to me, as the LBP, here's

465
00:26:54,695 --> 00:26:56,495
Speaker 5: some cladding, can you whack that up? And I look

466
00:26:56,495 --> 00:26:58,815
Speaker 5: at it and go make there's a really big problem

467
00:26:58,855 --> 00:27:02,455
Speaker 5: with us. You know, the board's already cupping bloody baddy.

468
00:27:02,455 --> 00:27:04,215
Speaker 5: But then I'd say, look, I'm not going to install

469
00:27:04,255 --> 00:27:08,175
Speaker 5: it now. When times tough and you want more work

470
00:27:08,215 --> 00:27:11,495
Speaker 5: from the developer, maybe you'll install it, but you shouldn't, right,

471
00:27:11,735 --> 00:27:15,175
Speaker 5: So there's probably an issue there with the LBP. So

472
00:27:15,215 --> 00:27:19,935
Speaker 5: the LBP can't say it's not my problem. They need

473
00:27:20,015 --> 00:27:24,535
Speaker 5: to take some responsibility for it as well. And in

474
00:27:24,575 --> 00:27:26,935
Speaker 5: the end, all of this is going to come to

475
00:27:26,975 --> 00:27:29,615
Speaker 5: a head somewhere where you're you're going to want to

476
00:27:29,655 --> 00:27:32,895
Speaker 5: make a claim against the builder in the first instance,

477
00:27:33,615 --> 00:27:38,055
Speaker 5: or the developer for making that choice, and then maybe

478
00:27:38,095 --> 00:27:42,415
Speaker 5: there'll be some sort of settlement because you know, if

479
00:27:42,495 --> 00:27:46,655
Speaker 5: the cladding is starting to move now, then for good reason,

480
00:27:46,735 --> 00:27:48,495
Speaker 5: you've probably got to concern about what it's going to

481
00:27:48,535 --> 00:27:49,855
Speaker 5: look like in another five years.

482
00:27:51,935 --> 00:27:57,375
Speaker 9: Yeah, So next next steps I think Emma is find

483
00:27:57,415 --> 00:28:00,935
Speaker 9: out exactly what the cladding is, Try and find exactly

484
00:28:00,935 --> 00:28:01,975
Speaker 9: who the manufacturer is.

485
00:28:02,215 --> 00:28:06,815
Speaker 5: Maybe get a representative of the cladding manufacturer or supplier

486
00:28:06,855 --> 00:28:08,535
Speaker 5: to come out and have a look at it and

487
00:28:08,615 --> 00:28:11,255
Speaker 5: say is this your product and is this what it

488
00:28:11,255 --> 00:28:11,895
Speaker 5: should look like?

489
00:28:13,215 --> 00:28:13,415
Speaker 12: Right?

490
00:28:13,575 --> 00:28:17,935
Speaker 5: Okay, But be aware that they also don't want to

491
00:28:17,935 --> 00:28:21,015
Speaker 5: put themselves in a position of accepting liability for a

492
00:28:21,095 --> 00:28:23,615
Speaker 5: defective product, so they might be a little bit tricky

493
00:28:23,615 --> 00:28:26,375
Speaker 5: around these things. But the other thing is that in

494
00:28:26,415 --> 00:28:29,935
Speaker 5: the end, you've got warranties, right, You've got rights in

495
00:28:30,055 --> 00:28:34,255
Speaker 5: law to ensure that products are not defective, and so

496
00:28:35,055 --> 00:28:38,815
Speaker 5: there may or may not be a building warranty attached

497
00:28:38,855 --> 00:28:42,575
Speaker 5: to your new build, but there are implied warranties in

498
00:28:42,655 --> 00:28:45,775
Speaker 5: terms of the Consumer Guarantees Act and so on, so

499
00:28:45,855 --> 00:28:49,655
Speaker 5: you do have some right in law, and those protections

500
00:28:49,695 --> 00:28:51,815
Speaker 5: extend for at least ten years, so you've got a

501
00:28:51,815 --> 00:28:55,175
Speaker 5: little bit of time to sort this out. But there

502
00:28:55,215 --> 00:28:58,335
Speaker 5: will be a bit of argie bargie. People will not

503
00:28:58,415 --> 00:29:00,855
Speaker 5: be nice and you may need to end up.

504
00:29:00,935 --> 00:29:02,375
Speaker 17: They're already not nice to me.

505
00:29:02,575 --> 00:29:03,855
Speaker 14: That's why I've got this email.

506
00:29:04,015 --> 00:29:06,695
Speaker 16: And they've both been so slimy the whole time.

507
00:29:07,015 --> 00:29:08,015
Speaker 13: That I thought on.

508
00:29:08,775 --> 00:29:11,375
Speaker 5: And look the whole thing around the colors. Again, you

509
00:29:11,415 --> 00:29:13,815
Speaker 5: can do the research right on this. Do the research,

510
00:29:14,015 --> 00:29:16,135
Speaker 5: come and go back to them and say you're wrong.

511
00:29:16,655 --> 00:29:18,815
Speaker 5: If you are right, then you could go back to

512
00:29:18,815 --> 00:29:21,775
Speaker 5: them and say, here's the LV for the colors that

513
00:29:21,855 --> 00:29:27,175
Speaker 5: I chose, here's the manufacturer's warranties. This color is actually

514
00:29:27,215 --> 00:29:29,695
Speaker 5: okay on these weather boards. And by the way, here's

515
00:29:29,695 --> 00:29:33,055
Speaker 5: a photograph that I took of the boards pre cupped

516
00:29:33,055 --> 00:29:37,615
Speaker 5: effectively prior to the application of the top coat, which

517
00:29:37,655 --> 00:29:40,695
Speaker 5: means that the product was not fit for purpose when

518
00:29:40,775 --> 00:29:41,615
Speaker 5: you installed it.

519
00:29:43,015 --> 00:29:46,535
Speaker 14: Yes, so Pete one thing on that, because the builder

520
00:29:46,615 --> 00:29:50,295
Speaker 14: told us that he had there were conversations at lengths

521
00:29:50,295 --> 00:29:54,455
Speaker 14: of the supplier prior to the stain going on all

522
00:29:54,495 --> 00:29:58,335
Speaker 14: the installation. He had had conversations with the developer and

523
00:29:58,375 --> 00:30:01,255
Speaker 14: the supplier. Now I only know that verbally from what

524
00:30:01,335 --> 00:30:05,335
Speaker 14: he told us, So that's not going to hold up

525
00:30:05,335 --> 00:30:06,375
Speaker 14: at all of it.

526
00:30:06,375 --> 00:30:07,095
Speaker 13: It's too.

527
00:30:08,455 --> 00:30:10,815
Speaker 5: And again, you know, it's probably a good lesson for

528
00:30:10,855 --> 00:30:14,095
Speaker 5: the builder and for builders like me. Listening is you know,

529
00:30:14,135 --> 00:30:17,495
Speaker 5: if you've got concerns about this, having a conversation's good

530
00:30:18,015 --> 00:30:23,655
Speaker 5: Sending an email is a lot better, you know, and

531
00:30:24,215 --> 00:30:26,975
Speaker 5: the emails the classics sort of, you know, thanks for

532
00:30:27,015 --> 00:30:31,495
Speaker 5: your time today. Here's a summary of the conversation. And

533
00:30:31,535 --> 00:30:35,895
Speaker 5: then you're covering yourself right, So I mean the builder

534
00:30:36,015 --> 00:30:38,655
Speaker 5: might end up saying, look, I had some concerns. I've

535
00:30:38,655 --> 00:30:41,695
Speaker 5: expressed my concerns. They told me it wasn't going to

536
00:30:41,695 --> 00:30:44,215
Speaker 5: be a problem. So I've acted on their advice and

537
00:30:44,255 --> 00:30:49,335
Speaker 5: I've installed the cladding. That way it covers the builder,

538
00:30:49,455 --> 00:30:53,295
Speaker 5: or the builder could cover himself as well. Fascinating one

539
00:30:53,415 --> 00:30:58,375
Speaker 5: fascinating look. I think that gives you first steps. I'm

540
00:30:58,495 --> 00:31:01,215
Speaker 5: very intrigued as to where this will end up, so

541
00:31:01,335 --> 00:31:03,575
Speaker 5: happy please do let me know how you get on.

542
00:31:04,575 --> 00:31:05,135
Speaker 14: Ok, thank you.

543
00:31:05,575 --> 00:31:12,535
Speaker 5: Take care of all this. Bobbo I. You know paints

544
00:31:12,535 --> 00:31:17,455
Speaker 5: a picture, doesn't it. Yeah, I'm not even going to

545
00:31:17,535 --> 00:31:20,215
Speaker 5: comment any further on that. Six forty year with news talks,

546
00:31:20,215 --> 00:31:22,215
Speaker 5: heb will take short break back and Steve in just

547
00:31:22,255 --> 00:31:22,615
Speaker 5: a moment.

548
00:31:22,895 --> 00:31:26,455
Speaker 1: We're helping you get those DIY projects done right, the

549
00:31:26,615 --> 00:31:29,095
Speaker 1: resident builder with Beata Wolf scats call.

550
00:31:30,815 --> 00:31:34,815
Speaker 5: Talks, Yeah, news talks, b and emails up and running. Mike,

551
00:31:34,855 --> 00:31:38,495
Speaker 5: thanks for your email, and Steve, good morning to you.

552
00:31:39,415 --> 00:31:46,655
Speaker 12: Oh good Pete, Pete, I've just an amusing story. But yeah,

553
00:31:46,375 --> 00:31:49,655
Speaker 12: when I was an apprentice builder back in eighty seven

554
00:31:50,375 --> 00:31:53,815
Speaker 12: building up in Tour Bay, and we're building a lot

555
00:31:53,855 --> 00:31:56,095
Speaker 12: of new houses up there, and there there were quite

556
00:31:56,135 --> 00:32:00,175
Speaker 12: a few guys building their own homes too, who weren't builders,

557
00:32:00,295 --> 00:32:03,375
Speaker 12: who are just weekend warriors who have decided just to

558
00:32:03,855 --> 00:32:06,575
Speaker 12: just to knock out their own house. Absolutely back in

559
00:32:06,575 --> 00:32:08,935
Speaker 12: the days when you were in a license builder and

560
00:32:09,815 --> 00:32:12,415
Speaker 12: this guy was built his own house next to us,

561
00:32:13,255 --> 00:32:15,735
Speaker 12: he was really chuffed. On a Monday morning, he said, hey, Jared,

562
00:32:15,975 --> 00:32:21,055
Speaker 12: come over and have have a look at this at

563
00:32:21,055 --> 00:32:22,895
Speaker 12: the jib board I've just put up on the ceiling,

564
00:32:24,615 --> 00:32:26,175
Speaker 12: and he said, you know, come check it out with you.

565
00:32:26,735 --> 00:32:28,695
Speaker 12: He put up all the jib board on the ceilings.

566
00:32:29,215 --> 00:32:31,895
Speaker 12: It was all complete, and I walk over. We go

567
00:32:31,975 --> 00:32:35,455
Speaker 12: inside and I look up and you wouldn't believe it's

568
00:32:35,495 --> 00:32:38,895
Speaker 12: all the gibboards up and perfect roads. Are these clouds

569
00:32:39,535 --> 00:32:45,495
Speaker 12: all lined up and are all punched halfway through And

570
00:32:45,575 --> 00:32:49,015
Speaker 12: the whole house was like that. And you know, so

571
00:32:49,055 --> 00:32:51,895
Speaker 12: he had nailed these up like the would with a

572
00:32:51,935 --> 00:32:54,495
Speaker 12: bit of a lot of the listeners probably may may

573
00:32:54,495 --> 00:32:57,295
Speaker 12: not know, you know about how you nail up jib boards.

574
00:32:57,855 --> 00:33:01,055
Speaker 12: But you just mentioned nail popping on jib board and

575
00:33:01,135 --> 00:33:04,295
Speaker 12: so yeah, he's going to have some issues. And no,

576
00:33:04,295 --> 00:33:06,135
Speaker 12: no blue as well, because back.

577
00:33:06,935 --> 00:33:09,575
Speaker 5: We didn't because look to be fair, when when you

578
00:33:09,615 --> 00:33:11,935
Speaker 5: were working in tor Bay, I was working out Saint

579
00:33:12,015 --> 00:33:14,535
Speaker 5: John's Way because I just started building as well in

580
00:33:14,655 --> 00:33:17,015
Speaker 5: nine eight and eighty seven.

581
00:33:17,055 --> 00:33:22,415
Speaker 12: I started, yep, and after the crash, the share market crash. Yes,

582
00:33:23,615 --> 00:33:26,295
Speaker 12: a lot of glum looking people at smoke. I was

583
00:33:26,335 --> 00:33:29,135
Speaker 12: looking down at the share market prices and they.

584
00:33:29,055 --> 00:33:30,015
Speaker 5: Were already tough.

585
00:33:30,775 --> 00:33:33,735
Speaker 12: Maybe I was very lucky to get a building apprenticeship.

586
00:33:33,735 --> 00:33:35,855
Speaker 12: It was a lot of work, so it was almost

587
00:33:35,895 --> 00:33:39,255
Speaker 12: like but like now, but quite a bit different, you know.

588
00:33:39,735 --> 00:33:42,655
Speaker 5: Yeah, and and just on the plaster board and that,

589
00:33:42,735 --> 00:33:44,855
Speaker 5: because I can remember, you know, as the apprentice. I

590
00:33:44,935 --> 00:33:47,215
Speaker 5: was a couple of months into my time when we

591
00:33:47,335 --> 00:33:49,935
Speaker 5: finally got the house framed up and ready for plaster

592
00:33:50,015 --> 00:33:52,455
Speaker 5: board and so on, and so the the GiB arrived

593
00:33:52,535 --> 00:33:55,295
Speaker 5: and then you know we were doing Back then, you

594
00:33:55,335 --> 00:33:58,255
Speaker 5: did all your own fixing. So we've done all the

595
00:33:58,295 --> 00:34:01,175
Speaker 5: ceilings and you're right, it was two nails at three

596
00:34:01,295 --> 00:34:05,735
Speaker 5: hundred centers all the way down the ceiling perlin or

597
00:34:05,775 --> 00:34:09,015
Speaker 5: the baton, and then fixing the wall sheets off. It was,

598
00:34:10,015 --> 00:34:13,175
Speaker 5: you know, around the perimeter and then double nails, you know,

599
00:34:13,255 --> 00:34:16,535
Speaker 5: sort of an inch apart at maybe three hundred centers

600
00:34:16,615 --> 00:34:18,855
Speaker 5: or so right through the sheet. I don't remember talklining

601
00:34:18,895 --> 00:34:21,175
Speaker 5: all the nogs and all the studs and that sort

602
00:34:21,215 --> 00:34:24,135
Speaker 5: of thing, and no glue. It's just that's how much

603
00:34:24,815 --> 00:34:27,815
Speaker 5: I guess the innovation and the change has happened. But

604
00:34:27,855 --> 00:34:30,495
Speaker 5: you're right, it's radically different. Hey, I've got to run.

605
00:34:30,655 --> 00:34:33,215
Speaker 5: But are you still on the tools? Are you still

606
00:34:33,255 --> 00:34:34,775
Speaker 5: on the tools after forty years?

607
00:34:35,735 --> 00:34:35,895
Speaker 10: No?

608
00:34:36,215 --> 00:34:39,775
Speaker 12: Actually, well yes and no. When I'm doing my own stuff,

609
00:34:39,815 --> 00:34:44,655
Speaker 12: yea sure. Otherwise I'm in architectural design. One other thing, Pete,

610
00:34:44,655 --> 00:34:47,055
Speaker 12: can I just ask you this question? And that's quite interesting.

611
00:34:47,095 --> 00:34:53,575
Speaker 12: I've noticed in building now builders are screwing everything. Door jams, yeah,

612
00:34:54,655 --> 00:34:57,375
Speaker 12: just as you know. We just used goal nails, and

613
00:34:57,535 --> 00:35:01,055
Speaker 12: I find door jams no problem with seventy mil jolt

614
00:35:01,095 --> 00:35:04,015
Speaker 12: head nails. There's never any movement. Why are we moving

615
00:35:04,095 --> 00:35:08,095
Speaker 12: to this overkill with We're overscrewing, aren't we? And the

616
00:35:08,095 --> 00:35:10,375
Speaker 12: problem is that biggest screw heads and they pull into

617
00:35:10,415 --> 00:35:12,695
Speaker 12: the timber a lot of the time that's messier for

618
00:35:12,855 --> 00:35:16,775
Speaker 12: as hard for the painted a filled because yeah, jagged edges. Yeah.

619
00:35:16,815 --> 00:35:20,175
Speaker 5: Look, I hear what you're saying with regard to fixing

620
00:35:20,295 --> 00:35:23,975
Speaker 5: door jams and windows and so on with screws. But

621
00:35:24,295 --> 00:35:26,775
Speaker 5: saying that, I'm also now become a huge fan of

622
00:35:26,855 --> 00:35:31,255
Speaker 5: jolt screws. So I just did a tongue and groove deck,

623
00:35:31,455 --> 00:35:34,735
Speaker 5: you know, a classic old veranda deck. Last year screwed

624
00:35:34,775 --> 00:35:38,815
Speaker 5: the whole thing down. It's been absolutely fantastic, So the

625
00:35:38,975 --> 00:35:41,255
Speaker 5: screws have their place as well. I've got a run

626
00:35:41,295 --> 00:35:43,855
Speaker 5: but lovely to chat with you. There we go, a

627
00:35:43,855 --> 00:35:47,575
Speaker 5: couple of old boys whose knees Creek every morning talking

628
00:35:47,575 --> 00:35:50,335
Speaker 5: about building almost forty years ago. It is twelve minutes

629
00:35:50,375 --> 00:35:51,935
Speaker 5: away from seven back in a moment.

630
00:35:53,455 --> 00:35:57,335
Speaker 1: Measure twice god once but maybe called Pete first video

631
00:35:57,335 --> 00:35:59,695
Speaker 1: ALCAF the Resident Builder News Talks.

632
00:35:59,695 --> 00:36:02,415
Speaker 5: They'd be lines are open for you. Eight hundred and

633
00:36:02,495 --> 00:36:05,215
Speaker 5: eighty ten eighty is the number to call John A

634
00:36:05,335 --> 00:36:06,295
Speaker 5: very good morning to you.

635
00:36:07,695 --> 00:36:12,575
Speaker 11: Good morning, Peter, morning, John, Good morning. I called you

636
00:36:12,975 --> 00:36:17,495
Speaker 11: last year. I was about to concrete in some posts

637
00:36:17,775 --> 00:36:19,855
Speaker 11: for a retaining all into the ground and we talked

638
00:36:19,855 --> 00:36:24,655
Speaker 11: about the concrete. Now I'm happy to say all the

639
00:36:24,695 --> 00:36:29,655
Speaker 11: posts are in fifteen of them, all cleaned up, ready

640
00:36:29,695 --> 00:36:33,815
Speaker 11: for the boards to go on. And my question is

641
00:36:34,735 --> 00:36:37,735
Speaker 11: around the drainage pipe.

642
00:36:37,935 --> 00:36:43,815
Speaker 18: Yes, I've got some ribbed plastic. I think it's about

643
00:36:43,815 --> 00:36:50,055
Speaker 18: one hundred and thirty millimeters across. I've got enough about

644
00:36:50,095 --> 00:36:51,935
Speaker 18: to do it, but it's got no holes in it.

645
00:36:51,975 --> 00:36:55,095
Speaker 11: And I was just wondering if there was a formula

646
00:36:56,335 --> 00:36:59,215
Speaker 11: if you could do it, If there's a formula that

647
00:37:00,455 --> 00:37:03,335
Speaker 11: you could so you know how many holes per meter?

648
00:37:06,055 --> 00:37:08,855
Speaker 5: The pro that you're talking about that drainage coil, right,

649
00:37:10,335 --> 00:37:13,335
Speaker 5: So you know Bailey, for example, make black snake. Other

650
00:37:13,615 --> 00:37:17,255
Speaker 5: manufacturers call it different things, but drainage coil. The flexible

651
00:37:17,295 --> 00:37:24,775
Speaker 5: one comes either punched or unpunched. So the unpunched one,

652
00:37:24,855 --> 00:37:26,695
Speaker 5: which is the one that you seem to have, is

653
00:37:27,455 --> 00:37:32,175
Speaker 5: useful for sort of you know, directing water to an outlet,

654
00:37:32,215 --> 00:37:37,855
Speaker 5: but it's not useful for collecting water. So if you

655
00:37:37,935 --> 00:37:40,335
Speaker 5: were to put that at the bottom of the retaining wall,

656
00:37:40,895 --> 00:37:42,855
Speaker 5: because that you know, water is going to come down,

657
00:37:42,975 --> 00:37:45,215
Speaker 5: hit the back of the wall and then seep down

658
00:37:45,815 --> 00:37:48,415
Speaker 5: and be collected in that pipe, that pipe will do

659
00:37:48,535 --> 00:37:52,335
Speaker 5: absolutely nothing that's obviously why you're thinking about drilling holes

660
00:37:52,375 --> 00:37:59,015
Speaker 5: in it. Okay, I mean, look, I've got to say

661
00:37:59,055 --> 00:38:01,535
Speaker 5: the easiest thing to do would be to go and

662
00:38:01,655 --> 00:38:07,735
Speaker 5: get some punched drainage coil and install. But if you

663
00:38:07,775 --> 00:38:09,655
Speaker 5: don't want to do that, then what I would do

664
00:38:09,815 --> 00:38:11,735
Speaker 5: is go and have a look at some drainage coil

665
00:38:11,855 --> 00:38:14,935
Speaker 5: that's punched. Look at roughly how many holes, and off

666
00:38:14,975 --> 00:38:18,015
Speaker 5: the top of my head, I would say that every

667
00:38:18,175 --> 00:38:24,215
Speaker 5: second rib would have holes at let's say ten or

668
00:38:24,255 --> 00:38:28,255
Speaker 5: fifteen millimeters separation, and each one would only be about

669
00:38:28,495 --> 00:38:30,775
Speaker 5: three or four It's not even a hole. It's actually

670
00:38:30,815 --> 00:38:33,535
Speaker 5: like a little rectangular slot. But you can't do those

671
00:38:33,575 --> 00:38:36,055
Speaker 5: with a drill. So if I was doing it, and

672
00:38:36,095 --> 00:38:40,135
Speaker 5: I'm almost hesitant to suggest you do this, but it'll

673
00:38:40,135 --> 00:38:42,215
Speaker 5: probably work. As you need to lay the pipe out,

674
00:38:42,975 --> 00:38:45,415
Speaker 5: you need to get like a say, a four mil

675
00:38:45,535 --> 00:38:50,135
Speaker 5: drill bit, and every second corrugation in the dip of it,

676
00:38:50,535 --> 00:38:54,055
Speaker 5: you'd probably go. I deal it. You could, if you

677
00:38:54,095 --> 00:38:56,615
Speaker 5: wanted to get really technical, not do them on the bottom,

678
00:38:56,655 --> 00:38:58,615
Speaker 5: and that might actually help you. But if you did

679
00:38:58,655 --> 00:39:00,975
Speaker 5: the top, let's say, if it's a clock, right, if

680
00:39:01,015 --> 00:39:05,335
Speaker 5: you went from say eight o'clock to four o'clock, with

681
00:39:05,495 --> 00:39:08,775
Speaker 5: twelve o'clock being the top of the pipe, or even

682
00:39:09,135 --> 00:39:14,055
Speaker 5: five o'clock, seven o'clock through to five o'clock. I'm looking

683
00:39:14,055 --> 00:39:15,895
Speaker 5: at a clock right now, so I know exactly what

684
00:39:15,895 --> 00:39:18,055
Speaker 5: I mean. Six is at the bottom, twelve is at

685
00:39:18,055 --> 00:39:20,055
Speaker 5: the top. You'd start at seven o'clock. You'd go all

686
00:39:20,055 --> 00:39:23,215
Speaker 5: the way around the pipe with four milimeter holes at

687
00:39:23,535 --> 00:39:29,095
Speaker 5: fifteen milimeter centers every second channel or rib in there

688
00:39:29,655 --> 00:39:32,935
Speaker 5: all the way along, and that would give you some drainage.

689
00:39:34,575 --> 00:39:36,055
Speaker 11: Well, i'd be quicker to go.

690
00:39:36,935 --> 00:39:40,775
Speaker 5: It might be way quicker to go down and buy yourself,

691
00:39:40,815 --> 00:39:43,455
Speaker 5: depending on how long, because in some places we'll sell

692
00:39:43,455 --> 00:39:46,695
Speaker 5: it by the meter. So a lot of the smaller

693
00:39:46,735 --> 00:39:48,775
Speaker 5: hardware stores and that will often have a coil of

694
00:39:49,095 --> 00:39:52,215
Speaker 5: that punch drainage coil out the back and you measure

695
00:39:52,295 --> 00:39:54,455
Speaker 5: up what you need put it there. The other thing,

696
00:39:54,975 --> 00:39:57,615
Speaker 5: and I'm probably telling you things that you already know,

697
00:39:58,015 --> 00:40:04,095
Speaker 5: it's really important that that the drainage coil discharges somewhere

698
00:40:04,215 --> 00:40:06,935
Speaker 5: right So I've seen any number of its drainage coil

699
00:40:06,975 --> 00:40:09,015
Speaker 5: where it just stops it either end of the retaining wall.

700
00:40:09,335 --> 00:40:12,455
Speaker 5: So really it should discharge into a cesspit or a

701
00:40:12,495 --> 00:40:15,695
Speaker 5: catch pit, which should then be connected to your storm

702
00:40:15,735 --> 00:40:18,615
Speaker 5: water in order to actually get that working. Or if

703
00:40:18,615 --> 00:40:20,775
Speaker 5: it's in a larger section and you don't mind about

704
00:40:20,775 --> 00:40:23,735
Speaker 5: the water going out, you cut a little trench at

705
00:40:23,735 --> 00:40:25,895
Speaker 5: one end of the wall and you take that out

706
00:40:25,975 --> 00:40:28,215
Speaker 5: and let it run into the garden or wherever it's

707
00:40:28,255 --> 00:40:31,695
Speaker 5: going to go, because it will work if the water

708
00:40:31,735 --> 00:40:33,015
Speaker 5: has got somewhere to go.

709
00:40:34,255 --> 00:40:34,735
Speaker 12: I've got to.

710
00:40:34,815 --> 00:40:38,975
Speaker 11: Creep running through probably two meters from where the wall

711
00:40:39,095 --> 00:40:40,255
Speaker 11: is the property.

712
00:40:40,495 --> 00:40:44,575
Speaker 5: Then just poke the end out into there, and you

713
00:40:44,615 --> 00:40:46,575
Speaker 5: know it's not going to alter the amount of water

714
00:40:46,655 --> 00:40:49,455
Speaker 5: getting to the creek anyway naturally, because all you're doing

715
00:40:49,535 --> 00:40:52,615
Speaker 5: is capturing it and diverting it. So yeah, just make

716
00:40:52,655 --> 00:40:55,215
Speaker 5: sure that that end goes out. And also just think

717
00:40:55,255 --> 00:41:00,175
Speaker 5: about when you're installing that drainage pipe that punched drainage

718
00:41:00,215 --> 00:41:04,055
Speaker 5: coil there, try and keep it level or even you know,

719
00:41:04,135 --> 00:41:06,055
Speaker 5: if you can have a little bit of fall on

720
00:41:06,095 --> 00:41:08,415
Speaker 5: it so it's actually heading towards the outlet as well.

721
00:41:08,455 --> 00:41:10,215
Speaker 5: All of these things will make a big difference. And

722
00:41:10,255 --> 00:41:12,815
Speaker 5: I think you know, I've noticed that one of the

723
00:41:12,895 --> 00:41:16,975
Speaker 5: reasons that retaining walls fail or there's issues with leakage

724
00:41:16,975 --> 00:41:20,015
Speaker 5: and so on over time is because the drainage coil

725
00:41:20,055 --> 00:41:22,295
Speaker 5: hasn't been installed properly and it should have fall to

726
00:41:22,295 --> 00:41:24,575
Speaker 5: one end. So good luck with that, but I would

727
00:41:24,615 --> 00:41:26,535
Speaker 5: race down and get some new stuff. Righty, Oh, we're

728
00:41:26,575 --> 00:41:28,775
Speaker 5: almost on top of news Sport and we're the top

729
00:41:28,815 --> 00:41:30,175
Speaker 5: of the are at seven. Back after the.

730
00:41:30,095 --> 00:41:34,895
Speaker 1: Break dowing of the house sorting the garden asked Pete

731
00:41:34,895 --> 00:41:38,255
Speaker 1: for a hand. The resident builder with Peter Wolfcamp called

732
00:41:40,055 --> 00:41:40,895
Speaker 1: News dogs'd be.

733
00:41:41,415 --> 00:41:43,335
Speaker 5: Well, a very good morning and welcome back to the program.

734
00:41:43,415 --> 00:41:46,255
Speaker 5: My name's Pete wolf Camp. This is the resident builder

735
00:41:46,335 --> 00:41:49,375
Speaker 5: on Sunday with me, Pete wolf Camp. So if you've

736
00:41:49,415 --> 00:41:52,615
Speaker 5: got a question of a building nature and already on

737
00:41:52,655 --> 00:41:55,255
Speaker 5: the program, it's been fairly broad from sort of you know,

738
00:41:55,455 --> 00:41:58,535
Speaker 5: water damage to an existing floor and an insurance claim

739
00:41:59,175 --> 00:42:02,695
Speaker 5: vertical cladding on a five year old house that's already

740
00:42:02,775 --> 00:42:08,055
Speaker 5: showing signs of cupping, which there's probably a certain tolerance

741
00:42:08,135 --> 00:42:10,535
Speaker 5: for that. But then is it extensive? Is it a

742
00:42:10,615 --> 00:42:13,175
Speaker 5: problem with the product, is it a problem with the installation,

743
00:42:13,455 --> 00:42:17,175
Speaker 5: Is it a problem with the coating that was applied

744
00:42:17,295 --> 00:42:21,535
Speaker 5: to it afterwards? And what happens when the developer just says,

745
00:42:21,695 --> 00:42:24,775
Speaker 5: not my problem. Where do you go then as a homeowner,

746
00:42:25,575 --> 00:42:28,455
Speaker 5: and we're talking about a little bit about fixing plasterboard

747
00:42:28,535 --> 00:42:32,335
Speaker 5: and apprenticeships and drainage coil as well, and someone's TechEd through.

748
00:42:32,455 --> 00:42:35,175
Speaker 5: Actually the drainage coil needs to be wrapped in drainage

749
00:42:35,215 --> 00:42:38,055
Speaker 5: cloth and then a layer of drainage metal applied that

750
00:42:38,095 --> 00:42:45,015
Speaker 5: stops the fine soils blocking the holes and the pipe. Funny, yeah,

751
00:42:45,495 --> 00:42:48,375
Speaker 5: I have conversations with people every day, obviously about building stuff.

752
00:42:48,415 --> 00:42:51,135
Speaker 5: But remember in chat to one drainage guy who went, ah,

753
00:42:51,215 --> 00:42:54,215
Speaker 5: and I don't bother about the filter sock around the

754
00:42:54,455 --> 00:43:00,695
Speaker 5: coil that tends to get blocked up, and then the

755
00:43:00,815 --> 00:43:06,095
Speaker 5: sediment blocks the outer layer blocks the filter cloth and

756
00:43:06,095 --> 00:43:11,975
Speaker 5: then nothing goes into the pipe. It's probably one of

757
00:43:12,015 --> 00:43:14,375
Speaker 5: those discussions best had over a beer at the end

758
00:43:14,375 --> 00:43:18,175
Speaker 5: of the day. But it's interesting. There's always counter opinion

759
00:43:18,335 --> 00:43:22,335
Speaker 5: somewhere along the line. But I've used the filter sock

760
00:43:22,455 --> 00:43:24,415
Speaker 5: and I think it makes sense to try and stop

761
00:43:25,215 --> 00:43:30,335
Speaker 5: those fines. The sediment that's in soil anyway eventually being

762
00:43:30,455 --> 00:43:32,735
Speaker 5: dragged along by the moisture as it's on its way

763
00:43:32,775 --> 00:43:38,575
Speaker 5: to the drainage coil to then end up stopping that

764
00:43:38,695 --> 00:43:40,935
Speaker 5: filling it up, Although saying that it's one hundred mili

765
00:43:41,655 --> 00:43:45,135
Speaker 5: diameter how long. I'm just trying to think if you've

766
00:43:45,175 --> 00:43:47,335
Speaker 5: ever had one where you've pulled out a retaining wall

767
00:43:47,375 --> 00:43:49,575
Speaker 5: and it's had some drainage coil and it didn't have

768
00:43:49,695 --> 00:43:52,335
Speaker 5: filter slock on it and you happen to cut through

769
00:43:52,615 --> 00:43:55,335
Speaker 5: dissecting just like you did at science back in the day,

770
00:43:55,855 --> 00:43:58,615
Speaker 5: dissecting the pipe, how much sediment's actually in there, and

771
00:43:58,775 --> 00:44:01,095
Speaker 5: does a little bit of sediment at the bottom actually

772
00:44:01,135 --> 00:44:05,015
Speaker 5: stop it from working properly? I feel there's got to

773
00:44:05,015 --> 00:44:07,495
Speaker 5: be a brand study in there where, a long term,

774
00:44:07,855 --> 00:44:13,215
Speaker 5: longitudinal study of the efficacy of drainage sock filter sock

775
00:44:13,335 --> 00:44:19,135
Speaker 5: over drainage coil versus without it would be quite an

776
00:44:19,175 --> 00:44:20,375
Speaker 5: interesting little study. Actually.

777
00:44:20,455 --> 00:44:20,775
Speaker 12: There you go.

778
00:44:20,815 --> 00:44:22,935
Speaker 5: If there's a PhD student out there looking for something

779
00:44:22,975 --> 00:44:25,095
Speaker 5: to do. Oh eight hundred eighty ten eighty is that

780
00:44:25,175 --> 00:44:28,135
Speaker 5: able to call open line on all things building in construction?

781
00:44:28,255 --> 00:44:34,295
Speaker 5: This morning? And I mean, you know, one of the

782
00:44:34,375 --> 00:44:37,535
Speaker 5: last comments was around builders and quality and so on.

783
00:44:38,815 --> 00:44:41,135
Speaker 5: I mentioned I've been in christ Church a couple of

784
00:44:41,215 --> 00:44:44,055
Speaker 5: days this week and went out to have a look

785
00:44:44,095 --> 00:44:48,295
Speaker 5: at some Actually Dan Saunders, who was on the show

786
00:44:48,335 --> 00:44:51,135
Speaker 5: a couple of months ago talking about the renovation guide

787
00:44:51,175 --> 00:44:53,655
Speaker 5: that's come out from the super home movement, we went

788
00:44:53,695 --> 00:44:55,975
Speaker 5: to see one of the jobs that he's building. So

789
00:44:56,135 --> 00:44:59,655
Speaker 5: four little townhouses are just outside of christ Church, CBD,

790
00:45:01,095 --> 00:45:04,415
Speaker 5: really top quality, basically super homes, right, and the one

791
00:45:04,455 --> 00:45:07,935
Speaker 5: at the front, which has been for Bob Burnette, who's

792
00:45:07,935 --> 00:45:10,295
Speaker 5: an architect and head of the super movement, is going

793
00:45:10,375 --> 00:45:13,495
Speaker 5: to be zero carbon, possibly one of the first zero

794
00:45:13,695 --> 00:45:17,255
Speaker 5: carbon houses in New Zealand. Anyway, it was fascinated. Its

795
00:45:17,255 --> 00:45:18,455
Speaker 5: great to go out there and have a bit of

796
00:45:18,495 --> 00:45:20,815
Speaker 5: a chat. Went out to a couple of factories as well.

797
00:45:20,895 --> 00:45:23,095
Speaker 5: Tell you a bit about that later on This morning,

798
00:45:23,295 --> 00:45:25,775
Speaker 5: eight hundred eighty ten eighty is the number to call.

799
00:45:26,495 --> 00:45:29,535
Speaker 5: It's ten past seven. The lines are open. The number

800
00:45:29,815 --> 00:45:33,135
Speaker 5: is eight hundred eighty ten eighty Andrew, good morning.

801
00:45:33,615 --> 00:45:35,895
Speaker 19: Good morning, great for going very well.

802
00:45:36,815 --> 00:45:37,175
Speaker 12: It's good.

803
00:45:37,855 --> 00:45:40,335
Speaker 19: Got an interesting question and I think a lot of

804
00:45:40,375 --> 00:45:43,135
Speaker 19: people are going to be in my position very shortly.

805
00:45:43,255 --> 00:45:47,815
Speaker 19: I've got guessing the house for both hot water and cooking. Now, yep,

806
00:45:48,895 --> 00:45:52,495
Speaker 19: what it convert it over to electric? I live in

807
00:45:52,575 --> 00:45:58,455
Speaker 19: a town in a flat apartment type complex we have,

808
00:45:58,455 --> 00:46:01,255
Speaker 19: we've got body corps, so putting an outdoor hot water

809
00:46:01,775 --> 00:46:06,295
Speaker 19: and won't be easy to do or approved by body court.

810
00:46:07,615 --> 00:46:10,615
Speaker 19: What's involved in putting the cylinder in a cupboard and

811
00:46:10,735 --> 00:46:13,215
Speaker 19: in running the water pipes through the wall?

812
00:46:14,615 --> 00:46:14,895
Speaker 7: Do you.

813
00:46:16,855 --> 00:46:19,695
Speaker 19: Where do you tie into the can you tie in

814
00:46:19,735 --> 00:46:24,055
Speaker 19: to just any output to feed the whole house for

815
00:46:24,255 --> 00:46:24,815
Speaker 19: the hot water?

816
00:46:25,815 --> 00:46:29,255
Speaker 5: Obviously that's ultimately going to be a question answered by

817
00:46:29,455 --> 00:46:33,495
Speaker 5: your plumber, and you'll need a license gas fitter as

818
00:46:33,495 --> 00:46:38,095
Speaker 5: well to come and do the decommission. Look in general,

819
00:46:38,575 --> 00:46:42,775
Speaker 5: actually a question for you first, what's driving your desire

820
00:46:42,855 --> 00:46:45,255
Speaker 5: to move from gas to electric.

821
00:46:46,895 --> 00:46:50,615
Speaker 19: Defect? I'm paying sixty dollars a month every month.

822
00:46:50,575 --> 00:46:53,495
Speaker 15: Just to have the gas connected, Okay, fair enough.

823
00:46:54,535 --> 00:46:59,495
Speaker 19: And when it's sixty a month and I can't see

824
00:46:59,535 --> 00:47:03,935
Speaker 19: it going down at any point, I'm packing that in

825
00:47:04,175 --> 00:47:06,015
Speaker 19: five years time it could be one hundred and twenty

826
00:47:06,015 --> 00:47:06,255
Speaker 19: a month.

827
00:47:07,255 --> 00:47:09,575
Speaker 5: Yeah sure, okay, because in.

828
00:47:09,615 --> 00:47:13,895
Speaker 19: The last four years it's gone from a dollar a

829
00:47:13,975 --> 00:47:20,055
Speaker 19: dollar fifty amount up to now sixty dollars right, Okay,

830
00:47:20,935 --> 00:47:24,615
Speaker 19: it was only meto since per day previously. Now we're

831
00:47:24,655 --> 00:47:25,815
Speaker 19: talking dollars per day.

832
00:47:26,015 --> 00:47:29,975
Speaker 5: Yeah, sure, sure, I mean, it's still going to be

833
00:47:30,055 --> 00:47:34,975
Speaker 5: a fairly significant investment for you to swap over, and

834
00:47:35,215 --> 00:47:37,615
Speaker 5: so it's you know, if you go, I'm doing it

835
00:47:37,735 --> 00:47:40,255
Speaker 5: to save money, but I'm going to spend I don't know,

836
00:47:40,495 --> 00:47:44,895
Speaker 5: eighteen thousand dollars swapping over as a project. That's a

837
00:47:44,975 --> 00:47:47,815
Speaker 5: lot of sixty dollars a month charges, but hey, look

838
00:47:47,855 --> 00:47:50,935
Speaker 5: good on you. And then there's an environmental side of it,

839
00:47:50,975 --> 00:47:54,135
Speaker 5: which says, you know, there's a lot to be recommended

840
00:47:54,215 --> 00:47:58,695
Speaker 5: for a swap from gas domestically to electric. So in

841
00:47:58,855 --> 00:48:03,095
Speaker 5: terms of working with the Body Corp, I guess it

842
00:48:03,695 --> 00:48:08,055
Speaker 5: is alterations to the building, including penetrations through the exterior

843
00:48:08,615 --> 00:48:11,935
Speaker 5: that you would need approval from the Body Corp for. So,

844
00:48:12,135 --> 00:48:16,055
Speaker 5: if you've currently got gas hot water, we do have

845
00:48:16,175 --> 00:48:19,575
Speaker 5: gas hot water and cooking. Yeah, okay, so the gas

846
00:48:19,615 --> 00:48:21,775
Speaker 5: hot water, is that a califont on the exterior of

847
00:48:21,815 --> 00:48:22,695
Speaker 5: the building or isn't?

848
00:48:22,935 --> 00:48:27,255
Speaker 19: Yes, Yes, it is. Okay, I'm picking removing the califont

849
00:48:27,415 --> 00:48:29,455
Speaker 19: and a gas meter that's on the other side of

850
00:48:29,495 --> 00:48:33,015
Speaker 19: a building because there's two boxes yep, well on either side.

851
00:48:33,775 --> 00:48:36,775
Speaker 19: Removing them and capping off a gas line would be

852
00:48:36,895 --> 00:48:40,775
Speaker 19: allowed and wouldn't be an issue The issue is the

853
00:48:40,975 --> 00:48:47,015
Speaker 19: esthetics would be having any sort of outside, particularly where

854
00:48:47,935 --> 00:48:51,935
Speaker 19: I live on a main street, and people could literally

855
00:48:52,015 --> 00:48:54,535
Speaker 19: look over a fence and see it and think, okay,

856
00:48:54,655 --> 00:48:55,375
Speaker 19: easy target.

857
00:48:56,975 --> 00:48:59,295
Speaker 5: Or isn't someone wants to steal your hot water cylinder?

858
00:49:00,015 --> 00:49:00,215
Speaker 19: Yeah?

859
00:49:01,375 --> 00:49:04,095
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean there's not a lot of point in

860
00:49:04,135 --> 00:49:07,495
Speaker 5: stealing hot water cylinders anymore because most the lining on

861
00:49:07,575 --> 00:49:09,895
Speaker 5: the inside is no longer copper, right, A lot of

862
00:49:09,935 --> 00:49:13,495
Speaker 5: them are stainless steel now, so not a messive. I

863
00:49:13,535 --> 00:49:16,815
Speaker 5: wouldn't be too worried about that. And you know, burglar's

864
00:49:16,855 --> 00:49:18,975
Speaker 5: got to work really hard to make your hot water.

865
00:49:20,215 --> 00:49:22,135
Speaker 19: But den it's also vandalism as well.

866
00:49:22,775 --> 00:49:25,815
Speaker 5: Yeah, okay, look, I guess you have to judge that

867
00:49:25,935 --> 00:49:29,655
Speaker 5: for yourself. But I mean, look, there are external hot

868
00:49:29,735 --> 00:49:32,655
Speaker 5: water systems that that would be the simplest way for

869
00:49:32,735 --> 00:49:35,855
Speaker 5: you to transition in terms of swapping your hot water

870
00:49:35,935 --> 00:49:39,055
Speaker 5: supply from gas to electric is if you were to

871
00:49:39,175 --> 00:49:44,295
Speaker 5: put your new electric cylinder where your old gas Califont was,

872
00:49:44,495 --> 00:49:47,535
Speaker 5: then obviously you've still got your main's water supply coming

873
00:49:47,575 --> 00:49:50,695
Speaker 5: in and then you've got your hot water out in

874
00:49:50,935 --> 00:49:54,895
Speaker 5: proximity to it, so that that would be by far

875
00:49:55,015 --> 00:49:58,295
Speaker 5: the simplest, you may need to look at whether or

876
00:49:58,335 --> 00:50:03,615
Speaker 5: not the electrical supply is sufficient for a hot water cylinder,

877
00:50:03,735 --> 00:50:07,175
Speaker 5: for an electric hot water cylinder. So so the electric

878
00:50:07,255 --> 00:50:10,615
Speaker 5: supply that runs out to the Califont will be you know,

879
00:50:10,695 --> 00:50:14,495
Speaker 5: a standard maybe a ten A switch, because all it's

880
00:50:14,535 --> 00:50:18,415
Speaker 5: doing is keeping the pilot light going right, whereas.

881
00:50:19,215 --> 00:50:21,975
Speaker 19: There's no currently its call system going out to the

882
00:50:22,055 --> 00:50:26,255
Speaker 19: Califont at present. I've got one of the old ones

883
00:50:26,335 --> 00:50:28,415
Speaker 19: from about fifteen years ago.

884
00:50:28,695 --> 00:50:30,815
Speaker 5: Okay, all right, so that's going to be a bit

885
00:50:30,815 --> 00:50:33,295
Speaker 5: of a challenge in terms of getting a new cable

886
00:50:33,415 --> 00:50:37,055
Speaker 5: from the distribution board inside the house. Yeah, across, But

887
00:50:37,535 --> 00:50:42,615
Speaker 5: these things are solvable. Look that absolutely. The simplest thing

888
00:50:42,735 --> 00:50:47,095
Speaker 5: is going to be put your new electric system adjacent

889
00:50:47,175 --> 00:50:49,855
Speaker 5: to where the old gas one was, as long as

890
00:50:49,895 --> 00:50:51,935
Speaker 5: you can get the electrical supply there at least the

891
00:50:52,015 --> 00:50:56,015
Speaker 5: plumbing is there already. And then obviously with your gas hobbs,

892
00:50:57,135 --> 00:50:59,615
Speaker 5: is it gas hobs or gas oven and hobbs?

893
00:51:00,775 --> 00:51:02,655
Speaker 15: Guesshobs only, I just gas hobs.

894
00:51:02,695 --> 00:51:04,855
Speaker 5: Okay, So depending on the type of bench top that

895
00:51:04,935 --> 00:51:07,535
Speaker 5: you've got, should just be a relatively simple thing. If

896
00:51:07,655 --> 00:51:10,615
Speaker 5: that one comes out, and I guess you're thinking about induction,

897
00:51:13,855 --> 00:51:15,015
Speaker 5: it'll be I.

898
00:51:15,175 --> 00:51:17,415
Speaker 19: Thought, I don't know if would be induction or not.

899
00:51:19,295 --> 00:51:21,335
Speaker 19: I haven't heard a lot of good A doubt induction

900
00:51:21,535 --> 00:51:26,335
Speaker 19: so far, and people I know he had induction problem

901
00:51:26,495 --> 00:51:27,055
Speaker 19: up to problem.

902
00:51:28,535 --> 00:51:32,615
Speaker 5: It's interesting because I've got a really good mate who

903
00:51:34,135 --> 00:51:37,615
Speaker 5: loves cooking, swore by having gas and moved to an

904
00:51:37,655 --> 00:51:41,415
Speaker 5: apartment where they only had induction now absolutely loves it.

905
00:51:41,935 --> 00:51:43,615
Speaker 5: As it happens, one of my sisters is a very

906
00:51:43,655 --> 00:51:45,295
Speaker 5: good actually both of them probably good cooks. I'm not

907
00:51:45,335 --> 00:51:46,975
Speaker 5: going to upset my sisters now, but one of my

908
00:51:47,015 --> 00:51:51,135
Speaker 5: sisters in particular is a great cook also changed to

909
00:51:51,255 --> 00:51:56,895
Speaker 5: induction recently and absolutely loves it. So anyway, Look, the

910
00:51:57,455 --> 00:52:00,375
Speaker 5: good thing is you can do it. And there is

911
00:52:00,775 --> 00:52:03,575
Speaker 5: lots and lots of arguments being made now that more

912
00:52:03,615 --> 00:52:07,095
Speaker 5: and more of us should move from gas supply to

913
00:52:07,735 --> 00:52:12,775
Speaker 5: electric for our hot water, our heating and our cooking

914
00:52:12,895 --> 00:52:15,135
Speaker 5: as well. So look, I think you're on the right track.

915
00:52:15,695 --> 00:52:18,015
Speaker 5: Good on you for having to go, and actually I'd

916
00:52:18,215 --> 00:52:19,855
Speaker 5: love to know where you get to in the end.

917
00:52:19,855 --> 00:52:22,615
Speaker 5: Thanks very much for that, Danny. Good morning to you, sir.

918
00:52:23,855 --> 00:52:27,495
Speaker 15: Yeah morning feed drains coiled study, Yeah please.

919
00:52:28,695 --> 00:52:30,815
Speaker 12: Yeah, I've got to shed that's about twenty years old.

920
00:52:31,535 --> 00:52:34,415
Speaker 20: Probably we bought I'm redoing hard stand round, pulled some

921
00:52:34,535 --> 00:52:34,935
Speaker 20: of that up.

922
00:52:35,055 --> 00:52:37,215
Speaker 12: There's about two centimeters of sediment in it.

923
00:52:38,015 --> 00:52:40,775
Speaker 5: At the bottom. Years and this is a you know,

924
00:52:40,895 --> 00:52:44,615
Speaker 5: the typical perforated or punch drainage coil, and over twenty

925
00:52:44,695 --> 00:52:45,415
Speaker 5: years this oil.

926
00:52:45,815 --> 00:52:50,335
Speaker 12: Yeah, no sock, but mind you, all the other new

927
00:52:50,335 --> 00:52:51,655
Speaker 12: stuff at put socks on.

928
00:52:51,855 --> 00:52:55,535
Speaker 5: Yeah, and look, if there's a little bit of sediment

929
00:52:55,655 --> 00:52:59,655
Speaker 5: in the bottom like it's it's probably having a negligible

930
00:52:59,815 --> 00:53:02,775
Speaker 5: impact on the amount of flow. I guess the curious

931
00:53:02,935 --> 00:53:07,615
Speaker 5: question is does more water filter its way through the

932
00:53:07,735 --> 00:53:10,495
Speaker 5: drainage material, through all the scoria and so on, and

933
00:53:10,695 --> 00:53:14,415
Speaker 5: get into the pipe quicker than if it had to

934
00:53:14,495 --> 00:53:17,415
Speaker 5: work its way through the filter sock, which in twenty

935
00:53:17,575 --> 00:53:19,935
Speaker 5: years might also be covered in a layer of sediment,

936
00:53:20,375 --> 00:53:24,535
Speaker 5: you know what I mean, Who knows exactly, But I

937
00:53:24,895 --> 00:53:26,495
Speaker 5: do like the fact that you've opened it up and

938
00:53:26,535 --> 00:53:28,255
Speaker 5: there you go, this a little bit of sediment at

939
00:53:28,295 --> 00:53:31,375
Speaker 5: the bottom. But it's fine. Obviously it's still working.

940
00:53:31,615 --> 00:53:34,655
Speaker 7: I decided it wasn't enough to worth replacing it.

941
00:53:34,975 --> 00:53:41,575
Speaker 5: Yeah, absolutely, absolutely. Hey, look, I love the real world experimentation.

942
00:53:41,655 --> 00:53:44,655
Speaker 5: I think that's awesome, not a problem all of this.

943
00:53:45,095 --> 00:53:47,375
Speaker 5: You have a great day, take care, do you go,

944
00:53:47,575 --> 00:53:50,455
Speaker 5: there's some real world experimentation. Probably would have cost a

945
00:53:50,455 --> 00:53:53,055
Speaker 5: couple of grand to sort of set up a test

946
00:53:53,175 --> 00:53:54,175
Speaker 5: like that, probably even more.

947
00:53:54,455 --> 00:53:54,735
Speaker 15: Do you go.

948
00:53:54,895 --> 00:53:56,695
Speaker 5: Danny's done it for us. Oh, eight hundred and eighty

949
00:53:56,855 --> 00:53:58,895
Speaker 5: ten eighty is the number to call. Just on the

950
00:53:59,215 --> 00:54:02,495
Speaker 5: whole swapping from gas to electric morin a peak. Hope

951
00:54:02,535 --> 00:54:05,135
Speaker 5: you made the executive decision after eleven years change us

952
00:54:05,135 --> 00:54:08,055
Speaker 5: from gas hot water to soul cost US seventeen grand,

953
00:54:08,135 --> 00:54:10,815
Speaker 5: and now the whole house is supplied by solar and

954
00:54:10,935 --> 00:54:13,775
Speaker 5: we can sell the backup to the grid. Gas became

955
00:54:13,855 --> 00:54:16,175
Speaker 5: way too expensive at one hundred and ninety five dollars

956
00:54:16,215 --> 00:54:18,775
Speaker 5: a bottle and two hundred and twenty dollars rental charge

957
00:54:18,855 --> 00:54:21,375
Speaker 5: per year. We've now got a water cylinder outside and

958
00:54:21,415 --> 00:54:23,535
Speaker 5: it's great. Have a great day from V and Paul.

959
00:54:23,575 --> 00:54:29,055
Speaker 5: Thank you very much for that the other thing, and

960
00:54:29,375 --> 00:54:31,295
Speaker 5: I had a conversation with someone about it the other

961
00:54:31,375 --> 00:54:36,495
Speaker 5: day around basically heat pump hot water, so hot water

962
00:54:36,575 --> 00:54:42,095
Speaker 5: cylinders arguably are sometimes not always that efficient, or they're

963
00:54:42,175 --> 00:54:43,855
Speaker 5: better now than they used to. Be, but there's still

964
00:54:43,895 --> 00:54:47,535
Speaker 5: some challenges with them. So if anyone's had the opportunity

965
00:54:47,615 --> 00:54:50,895
Speaker 5: to install a heat pump hot water system, which is

966
00:54:51,535 --> 00:54:56,015
Speaker 5: considerably more efficient, I'd love to hear from you. Oh,

967
00:54:56,055 --> 00:54:57,935
Speaker 5: eight hundred eighty ten eighty is the number to call,

968
00:54:58,095 --> 00:55:01,135
Speaker 5: just ticked over seven twenty here at Newstalks the'b. If

969
00:55:01,215 --> 00:55:03,495
Speaker 5: you've got a question, well, good news is I've got

970
00:55:03,535 --> 00:55:05,895
Speaker 5: a spare line for you right now, eight hundred eighty

971
00:55:05,935 --> 00:55:06,215
Speaker 5: ten eight.

972
00:55:06,535 --> 00:55:09,375
Speaker 1: Call us now, whether you're painting the ceiling, fixing the fens,

973
00:55:09,655 --> 00:55:11,695
Speaker 1: or wondering how to fix that hole in the wall.

974
00:55:11,815 --> 00:55:12,855
Speaker 5: Give Peter Wolf capit.

975
00:55:12,935 --> 00:55:13,415
Speaker 4: Call on.

976
00:55:15,455 --> 00:55:18,535
Speaker 5: The resident builder on news dogs'd be your news dogs.

977
00:55:18,575 --> 00:55:19,975
Speaker 5: There'd be a couple of quick texts that have come

978
00:55:20,015 --> 00:55:22,495
Speaker 5: through as well. Pete your opinion. Please a new build

979
00:55:22,535 --> 00:55:25,415
Speaker 5: internal double garage. The builder wants to put down carpet.

980
00:55:25,495 --> 00:55:28,175
Speaker 5: I've always had polished concrete and mopped the floor or

981
00:55:28,255 --> 00:55:31,735
Speaker 5: mop the water off the cars, which is often quite

982
00:55:31,775 --> 00:55:35,375
Speaker 5: a bit which way to go, cheers from Elf. I mean, look,

983
00:55:35,375 --> 00:55:38,535
Speaker 5: the garage carpet is designed to get wet right, so

984
00:55:38,695 --> 00:55:41,415
Speaker 5: it's not dissimilar to the sort of carpet that you

985
00:55:41,535 --> 00:55:45,215
Speaker 5: might use on a boat, for example, But obviously you

986
00:55:45,295 --> 00:55:47,775
Speaker 5: don't have an option of mopping it, and if your

987
00:55:47,935 --> 00:55:50,935
Speaker 5: car gets particularly wet, I'm not sure how that works,

988
00:55:51,935 --> 00:55:54,455
Speaker 5: then maybe you'd want to. But look, I've for the

989
00:55:54,575 --> 00:55:56,735
Speaker 5: times that we've installed and I've never had someone say

990
00:55:57,175 --> 00:56:02,455
Speaker 5: it's it's been a problem, so I think it's well,

991
00:56:02,575 --> 00:56:04,735
Speaker 5: it's completely up to you, but it doesn't seem to

992
00:56:04,895 --> 00:56:08,335
Speaker 5: be an issue in terms of water from the car

993
00:56:08,495 --> 00:56:15,855
Speaker 5: onto the carpet. And another quick text from Paul. We're

994
00:56:16,055 --> 00:56:18,415
Speaker 5: looking at selling our home, moving to the hawks Bait

995
00:56:19,135 --> 00:56:21,375
Speaker 5: and buying a small rural section putting a two bedroom

996
00:56:21,415 --> 00:56:23,375
Speaker 5: tiny home on it. Do you know what the quality

997
00:56:23,415 --> 00:56:27,175
Speaker 5: of tiny homes are with regard to insallation, build construction quality.

998
00:56:27,215 --> 00:56:29,895
Speaker 5: We're looking at a company and they do mention the name.

999
00:56:30,015 --> 00:56:32,575
Speaker 5: They look after the whole process from building to transportation

1000
00:56:32,695 --> 00:56:35,135
Speaker 5: to the site. The company that you mentioned I've had

1001
00:56:35,175 --> 00:56:39,455
Speaker 5: a look at and seems pretty good to be fair quality. Well,

1002
00:56:39,535 --> 00:56:43,895
Speaker 5: this is one of those things. It's pretty variable. Certainly.

1003
00:56:43,975 --> 00:56:48,015
Speaker 5: I've been involved with a couple of situations where people

1004
00:56:48,095 --> 00:56:51,175
Speaker 5: have commissioned a company to build them a tiny home

1005
00:56:51,775 --> 00:56:56,695
Speaker 5: and it's been average at best. And yet there are

1006
00:56:56,775 --> 00:57:00,335
Speaker 5: also companies out there doing essentially high performance homes or

1007
00:57:00,375 --> 00:57:02,935
Speaker 5: getting close to high performance, where they've got really good

1008
00:57:02,975 --> 00:57:05,455
Speaker 5: structures in place. They end up with a quality build,

1009
00:57:06,455 --> 00:57:08,695
Speaker 5: not cutting any corners, and you end up with a

1010
00:57:08,695 --> 00:57:11,055
Speaker 5: great house. It just happens to be smaller than most houses,

1011
00:57:11,095 --> 00:57:14,455
Speaker 5: which is awesome. So Paul, I think, look around, but

1012
00:57:14,575 --> 00:57:16,535
Speaker 5: it seems like the company that you've opted for seems

1013
00:57:16,575 --> 00:57:19,415
Speaker 5: pretty reliable to me. We'll come back with more of

1014
00:57:19,495 --> 00:57:21,455
Speaker 5: your texts in a moment, but first up, Mary, good

1015
00:57:21,455 --> 00:57:21,935
Speaker 5: morning to you.

1016
00:57:23,055 --> 00:57:26,895
Speaker 13: Good morning Peter grad Show. I probably haven't got enough

1017
00:57:26,975 --> 00:57:34,055
Speaker 13: information for you. I've got a nineteen seventies flat townhouse flat. Yes,

1018
00:57:35,055 --> 00:57:38,415
Speaker 13: I recently got in a build a home handy man

1019
00:57:38,655 --> 00:57:40,735
Speaker 13: friend of a friend, which was a dumb thing to do,

1020
00:57:40,895 --> 00:57:43,935
Speaker 13: but we won't go into that. But he puts some

1021
00:57:44,175 --> 00:57:48,095
Speaker 13: sealant on the sunroom. Now it's the sunroom before you

1022
00:57:48,255 --> 00:57:51,055
Speaker 13: needed any council certification.

1023
00:57:50,495 --> 00:57:51,215
Speaker 5: Or anything like that.

1024
00:57:52,815 --> 00:57:56,255
Speaker 13: So a lot, it's on a smooth on the outside,

1025
00:57:56,295 --> 00:58:02,175
Speaker 13: it's along a smooth concrete lip, and then the vertical

1026
00:58:02,335 --> 00:58:08,455
Speaker 13: side that goes up towards the window is stucco like it.

1027
00:58:08,855 --> 00:58:11,935
Speaker 13: So he put the sealant along to stop water going

1028
00:58:12,015 --> 00:58:15,135
Speaker 13: in now when things were going wrong and things like that,

1029
00:58:15,335 --> 00:58:17,655
Speaker 13: and he finally left, I thought, I'll just check everything.

1030
00:58:17,895 --> 00:58:19,455
Speaker 13: And one of the things I found is when I

1031
00:58:19,495 --> 00:58:23,575
Speaker 13: put the hose on the sealant, the water was still

1032
00:58:23,655 --> 00:58:28,295
Speaker 13: going inside to the conservative to the sub room, which

1033
00:58:28,415 --> 00:58:33,055
Speaker 13: fortunately is a concrete floor. But I don't like the

1034
00:58:33,215 --> 00:58:37,015
Speaker 13: idea of water going into the building structure at all.

1035
00:58:37,095 --> 00:58:41,335
Speaker 13: It's on a concrete flot. The whole play is there one,

1036
00:58:41,495 --> 00:58:46,055
Speaker 13: is there a risk of any rot or anything happening anywhere?

1037
00:58:46,615 --> 00:58:50,135
Speaker 13: And to is there a celant to stop this? I

1038
00:58:50,215 --> 00:58:53,335
Speaker 13: went along to a hardware store and they says that

1039
00:58:53,495 --> 00:58:55,255
Speaker 13: you can't stop it because the water can get in

1040
00:58:55,335 --> 00:58:57,575
Speaker 13: sort of anywhere. I didn't quite understand that.

1041
00:58:58,975 --> 00:59:05,655
Speaker 5: Sorry I shouldn't laugh, but oh lord, okay, yep, all right,

1042
00:59:05,735 --> 00:59:07,615
Speaker 5: Sorry I shouldn't have laughed.

1043
00:59:08,575 --> 00:59:11,575
Speaker 13: No, you're quite right, because I ran it past somebody

1044
00:59:11,615 --> 00:59:13,535
Speaker 13: else and they were like, what what does that mean?

1045
00:59:16,015 --> 00:59:17,895
Speaker 5: So it's kind of like you go into the store,

1046
00:59:18,095 --> 00:59:21,815
Speaker 5: you talk to the person there, and welcome to my store.

1047
00:59:22,095 --> 00:59:24,375
Speaker 5: We have lots and lots of ceilants, but don't worry,

1048
00:59:24,535 --> 00:59:26,895
Speaker 5: none of them really work. That's what they're saying.

1049
00:59:26,935 --> 00:59:27,615
Speaker 14: Exactly right.

1050
00:59:27,695 --> 00:59:29,335
Speaker 13: And I actually took a video of it, you know,

1051
00:59:29,455 --> 00:59:32,375
Speaker 13: with a hose on it, and went from the outside

1052
00:59:32,415 --> 00:59:35,175
Speaker 13: to the inside and put toilet paper along the inside

1053
00:59:35,255 --> 00:59:40,015
Speaker 13: to show it wasting the toilet paper. Yes, And he said,

1054
00:59:40,055 --> 00:59:42,495
Speaker 13: the guy at the hardware store said, the water can

1055
00:59:42,615 --> 00:59:46,055
Speaker 13: travel and it's not necessarily going and wear the ceiling.

1056
00:59:46,255 --> 00:59:51,335
Speaker 5: And I'm like, they're right to be a little bit cautious.

1057
00:59:51,975 --> 00:59:56,735
Speaker 5: And funnily enough, on my hundreds of thousands of photographs

1058
00:59:56,775 --> 00:59:58,775
Speaker 5: on my phone at the moment, there is one of

1059
00:59:58,895 --> 01:00:02,615
Speaker 5: me doing exactly that. Last week. I'm up on the

1060
01:00:02,655 --> 01:00:05,535
Speaker 5: first floor. I'm trying to figure out why these windows

1061
01:00:05,695 --> 01:00:08,615
Speaker 5: are leaking or why these water coming into the building.

1062
01:00:09,095 --> 01:00:14,975
Speaker 5: And there's me with a hose essentially testing the seilants

1063
01:00:15,015 --> 01:00:19,615
Speaker 5: and testing the the use of them, their application of them,

1064
01:00:20,655 --> 01:00:24,415
Speaker 5: wondering where the leak is coming from. And look, if

1065
01:00:24,415 --> 01:00:27,695
Speaker 5: I'm really honest, some stuff that I did prior to

1066
01:00:27,855 --> 01:00:31,695
Speaker 5: Christmas worked well and got about ninety percent of the leak.

1067
01:00:31,815 --> 01:00:35,095
Speaker 5: But there is one small persistent leak that's still happening.

1068
01:00:35,335 --> 01:00:38,055
Speaker 5: So I think I've identified it. I'll go back there

1069
01:00:38,095 --> 01:00:42,135
Speaker 5: this week and sort that out. So look, in terms

1070
01:00:42,175 --> 01:00:45,455
Speaker 5: of seilants. The fact is there are there's a wide

1071
01:00:45,575 --> 01:00:49,015
Speaker 5: variety of sealants, and there sometimes for very different tasks.

1072
01:00:49,535 --> 01:00:53,695
Speaker 5: So I've seen people use gap filler, which is designed

1073
01:00:53,775 --> 01:00:57,615
Speaker 5: for interior use, where you know, maybe alongside an architrave

1074
01:00:57,695 --> 01:00:59,255
Speaker 5: there's a small gap and you run a bead of

1075
01:00:59,335 --> 01:01:01,615
Speaker 5: sealants through there, strike it off, and then you paint

1076
01:01:01,695 --> 01:01:04,335
Speaker 5: over it. Now, if you took that tube and used

1077
01:01:04,375 --> 01:01:08,735
Speaker 5: it outside, it might look like white sealant outside, but

1078
01:01:08,855 --> 01:01:11,335
Speaker 5: it's not going to perform in the same way that

1079
01:01:11,455 --> 01:01:14,575
Speaker 5: if you use, you know, a sealant that is going

1080
01:01:14,655 --> 01:01:17,975
Speaker 5: to be more durable and prevent water from getting in

1081
01:01:18,015 --> 01:01:20,375
Speaker 5: there inside. Then you go and paint it and find

1082
01:01:20,415 --> 01:01:22,535
Speaker 5: the paint doesn't stick to it, then you're going, well

1083
01:01:22,575 --> 01:01:24,575
Speaker 5: that's the wrong sealant. Well, yes it is, because that's

1084
01:01:24,655 --> 01:01:28,095
Speaker 5: designed for outside. So look good quality sealants like sud

1085
01:01:28,135 --> 01:01:34,055
Speaker 5: AL and L Y s U s O U d

1086
01:01:34,335 --> 01:01:38,815
Speaker 5: A L SUDL the right one and the right application

1087
01:01:39,255 --> 01:01:43,655
Speaker 5: applied correctly, so you know, clean the surface down, make

1088
01:01:43,695 --> 01:01:47,335
Speaker 5: sure that there's you know that it's a relatively clean

1089
01:01:47,415 --> 01:01:51,735
Speaker 5: and dry surface, apply it, strike it off properly, those

1090
01:01:51,775 --> 01:01:53,455
Speaker 5: sorts of things. But you're right you could apply a

1091
01:01:53,535 --> 01:01:55,495
Speaker 5: bead of sealant down the side of the window and

1092
01:01:55,655 --> 01:01:58,735
Speaker 5: find actually that the leak is coming from the head flashing,

1093
01:01:59,415 --> 01:02:01,335
Speaker 5: or it's coming from the bit of cladding above that,

1094
01:02:01,615 --> 01:02:03,775
Speaker 5: or it's coming from the roof, you know what I mean.

1095
01:02:03,975 --> 01:02:06,255
Speaker 5: And so that bead of sealant isn't going to stop.

1096
01:02:06,415 --> 01:02:08,895
Speaker 5: But if that's not where the water is coming from.

1097
01:02:09,335 --> 01:02:12,975
Speaker 5: But if you're able to and what you're doing is

1098
01:02:13,055 --> 01:02:16,455
Speaker 5: textbook right. So you've done the sealant, then you test

1099
01:02:16,535 --> 01:02:18,975
Speaker 5: it with a hose and a reasonable amount of pressure,

1100
01:02:19,015 --> 01:02:22,335
Speaker 5: not too much pressure, and find that actually I can

1101
01:02:22,415 --> 01:02:25,095
Speaker 5: see that I'm directing the water at the junction and

1102
01:02:25,255 --> 01:02:29,255
Speaker 5: the water's going through there. Then yes, I would remove

1103
01:02:29,335 --> 01:02:33,375
Speaker 5: that sealant, replace that sealant, test it again, and then

1104
01:02:33,495 --> 01:02:36,495
Speaker 5: carry on from there. But there are sealants that will

1105
01:02:36,655 --> 01:02:39,055
Speaker 5: protect that junction from leaking.

1106
01:02:40,455 --> 01:02:42,975
Speaker 13: When I remove it, I simply peel it off. Now

1107
01:02:43,015 --> 01:02:45,375
Speaker 13: do I have to put it? I'm assuming I peel

1108
01:02:45,415 --> 01:02:46,255
Speaker 13: it off as that one.

1109
01:02:46,535 --> 01:02:49,455
Speaker 5: Yeah, And if it's a decent sealant, a little bit

1110
01:02:49,495 --> 01:02:52,655
Speaker 5: of it should still stay stuck to the surfaces so

1111
01:02:52,855 --> 01:02:54,815
Speaker 5: you can actually get I got it the other day.

1112
01:02:54,895 --> 01:02:59,455
Speaker 5: It's a spray for silicon removal. So once you've cut

1113
01:02:59,535 --> 01:03:02,295
Speaker 5: out the bulk of the sealant, use the spray. It

1114
01:03:02,455 --> 01:03:04,895
Speaker 5: dissolves the last of it. Then you clean that off,

1115
01:03:05,455 --> 01:03:08,295
Speaker 5: leave that to thoroughly dry or wipe it down, make

1116
01:03:08,335 --> 01:03:10,895
Speaker 5: sure that none of it remains there, and then when

1117
01:03:10,975 --> 01:03:13,455
Speaker 5: the areas dry, reapply your sealant there.

1118
01:03:14,335 --> 01:03:17,655
Speaker 13: And there's the sealant removal of particular brand or any brand.

1119
01:03:18,015 --> 01:03:19,615
Speaker 5: I think actually the one that I got was from

1120
01:03:19,615 --> 01:03:20,415
Speaker 5: Pseudel as well.

1121
01:03:21,255 --> 01:03:24,975
Speaker 13: Okay, and when you say clean arter you've done this sealant,

1122
01:03:26,655 --> 01:03:27,335
Speaker 13: clean it off with.

1123
01:03:28,295 --> 01:03:31,535
Speaker 5: A detergent or yeah, just some warm soapy water something

1124
01:03:31,615 --> 01:03:33,615
Speaker 5: like that. Let that dry thoroughly because I guess what

1125
01:03:33,735 --> 01:03:36,375
Speaker 5: you don't want to do is use silicon remover and

1126
01:03:36,495 --> 01:03:39,095
Speaker 5: then put silicon over the top of the residue of

1127
01:03:39,135 --> 01:03:42,255
Speaker 5: the silicon remover because that will act against the new silicon.

1128
01:03:42,375 --> 01:03:44,535
Speaker 5: So there's a couple of steps in that.

1129
01:03:44,735 --> 01:03:47,095
Speaker 13: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I might give it a

1130
01:03:47,175 --> 01:03:49,375
Speaker 13: couple of clean currants and then let it dry and

1131
01:03:49,975 --> 01:03:50,535
Speaker 13: go from there.

1132
01:03:50,735 --> 01:03:52,815
Speaker 5: And the other thing just for people who are listening

1133
01:03:52,855 --> 01:03:54,975
Speaker 5: as well, that when you're testing for leaks like that,

1134
01:03:55,415 --> 01:03:58,415
Speaker 5: work from the bottom up, right, because what you what

1135
01:03:58,535 --> 01:04:01,535
Speaker 5: you're trying to do is determine at what point, as

1136
01:04:01,615 --> 01:04:03,935
Speaker 5: I go up the exterior of the building or whatever,

1137
01:04:04,255 --> 01:04:06,055
Speaker 5: where am I getting the leak. So if you start

1138
01:04:06,095 --> 01:04:08,735
Speaker 5: from the top and the water is flowing down a

1139
01:04:08,855 --> 01:04:11,535
Speaker 5: two meter long or three meter long area, you don't

1140
01:04:11,575 --> 01:04:13,655
Speaker 5: know where the leak is actually starting from. So when

1141
01:04:13,695 --> 01:04:15,975
Speaker 5: you're testing for leaks, start from the bottom, work your

1142
01:04:15,975 --> 01:04:16,295
Speaker 5: way up.

1143
01:04:17,655 --> 01:04:22,855
Speaker 13: Oh there's oh right, yeah, this was horizontal along the bottom,

1144
01:04:22,975 --> 01:04:23,775
Speaker 13: so that was fine.

1145
01:04:24,295 --> 01:04:25,375
Speaker 5: Just workay from one end.

1146
01:04:26,095 --> 01:04:30,815
Speaker 13: That helps me with unders because in the history I've

1147
01:04:30,855 --> 01:04:32,735
Speaker 13: found a good training which I never kept the number

1148
01:04:32,775 --> 01:04:36,095
Speaker 13: of about fifteen years ago into it leaks and the

1149
01:04:36,175 --> 01:04:38,575
Speaker 13: top of this little sun roam, and I thought it

1150
01:04:38,695 --> 01:04:41,095
Speaker 13: must be from the nails and the roof, but it

1151
01:04:41,215 --> 01:04:43,695
Speaker 13: can travel and then it can have that capilliary action

1152
01:04:43,895 --> 01:04:46,815
Speaker 13: and all sorts of things where it's coming from Earth.

1153
01:04:47,495 --> 01:04:47,695
Speaker 15: Yeah.

1154
01:04:48,415 --> 01:04:51,975
Speaker 5: And the other thing too, is one of the challenges

1155
01:04:51,975 --> 01:04:54,615
Speaker 5: I guess with sun roofs in some of the ways

1156
01:04:54,615 --> 01:04:57,255
Speaker 5: that they are installed is that they're just abutted to

1157
01:04:57,335 --> 01:05:00,215
Speaker 5: the existing building, and then you're fully reliant on the

1158
01:05:00,295 --> 01:05:03,855
Speaker 5: ceilant to provide that rather than you know, conventionally we

1159
01:05:04,015 --> 01:05:06,215
Speaker 5: tuck a flashing up and then we have an overlap

1160
01:05:06,415 --> 01:05:08,655
Speaker 5: by the cladding and so on. But often that doesn't happen.

1161
01:05:08,775 --> 01:05:10,855
Speaker 5: But I think you're on the right track and you're

1162
01:05:10,975 --> 01:05:13,895
Speaker 5: applying a little bit of silent science to it as well.

1163
01:05:14,295 --> 01:05:16,295
Speaker 5: All the best you marry, you have a great day,

1164
01:05:16,775 --> 01:05:20,215
Speaker 5: Take care all right, all the best. Oh eight hundred

1165
01:05:20,215 --> 01:05:22,335
Speaker 5: and eighty ten eighty the number quick text. Before the break,

1166
01:05:22,895 --> 01:05:24,775
Speaker 5: my wife and I were wanting to replace a window

1167
01:05:24,855 --> 01:05:27,935
Speaker 5: in our home. The exterior cladding is hardy text. I'm

1168
01:05:27,975 --> 01:05:30,255
Speaker 5: just wondering if there are any issues with this, particularly

1169
01:05:30,335 --> 01:05:34,495
Speaker 5: with weather tightness. Is plastering the way to go? How

1170
01:05:34,615 --> 01:05:37,495
Speaker 5: do we know if the plastering job is done properly

1171
01:05:37,935 --> 01:05:40,455
Speaker 5: so if it's hardy text, I guess the issue is

1172
01:05:40,575 --> 01:05:43,015
Speaker 5: is it hardy text which is direct fixed with us

1173
01:05:43,055 --> 01:05:46,495
Speaker 5: spray coating over the top. If you're going to replace

1174
01:05:46,575 --> 01:05:49,575
Speaker 5: the window, as long as you're not changing the window

1175
01:05:49,975 --> 01:05:54,215
Speaker 5: size and you can get a head flashing in there,

1176
01:05:55,175 --> 01:05:57,735
Speaker 5: I presume there's one there already, so your new window

1177
01:05:57,775 --> 01:06:00,655
Speaker 5: could tuck in underneath the existing head flashing. What you

1178
01:06:00,735 --> 01:06:02,735
Speaker 5: might find when you pop the old window out is

1179
01:06:02,815 --> 01:06:05,975
Speaker 5: there's not a lot of weather tightness around the junction

1180
01:06:06,295 --> 01:06:10,655
Speaker 5: between the cladding and the wall framing, in which case

1181
01:06:10,735 --> 01:06:13,575
Speaker 5: maybe you apply some tape there. It might not have

1182
01:06:13,695 --> 01:06:16,935
Speaker 5: a sill flashing, which case, ideally you'd put in a

1183
01:06:16,975 --> 01:06:19,655
Speaker 5: sill flashing. And then I'm guessing that it's just the

1184
01:06:19,775 --> 01:06:23,095
Speaker 5: extrusion of the aluminum window that's in there is pressed

1185
01:06:23,135 --> 01:06:25,975
Speaker 5: hard back against the hardy techs and sealed around the perimeter.

1186
01:06:27,455 --> 01:06:30,215
Speaker 5: And well, I mean, if that's not leaking at the

1187
01:06:30,215 --> 01:06:33,815
Speaker 5: moment you're replacing the window for another reason, then replacing

1188
01:06:33,855 --> 01:06:35,655
Speaker 5: the window in the same way as the window was

1189
01:06:35,695 --> 01:06:38,295
Speaker 5: installed in the past shouldn't give you any leaks if

1190
01:06:38,335 --> 01:06:40,495
Speaker 5: it didn't leak in the past. If it's leaking, it's

1191
01:06:40,535 --> 01:06:42,815
Speaker 5: whole other story. I hope that helps, right. We need

1192
01:06:42,855 --> 01:06:44,855
Speaker 5: to take short break there. We'll talk to Kate in

1193
01:06:45,095 --> 01:06:45,615
Speaker 5: just a moment.

1194
01:06:46,375 --> 01:06:49,855
Speaker 1: A squeaky door or squeaky floor, get the right advice

1195
01:06:49,935 --> 01:06:53,375
Speaker 1: from Peter Wolfcare, the resident builder on NEWSTALKSB.

1196
01:06:54,975 --> 01:06:56,895
Speaker 5: A couple of interesting texts coming in as well. I'll

1197
01:06:56,895 --> 01:06:58,255
Speaker 5: try and get to those in just a moment. But

1198
01:06:58,375 --> 01:07:01,815
Speaker 5: first up, Kate, good morning to you. Hello, how are

1199
01:07:01,855 --> 01:07:02,655
Speaker 5: you very well?

1200
01:07:02,735 --> 01:07:03,015
Speaker 11: And you.

1201
01:07:04,495 --> 01:07:11,335
Speaker 17: Too bad? I've just got a thing here the back room.

1202
01:07:12,255 --> 01:07:16,055
Speaker 17: I'm actually not talking about my place, but i'm speaking

1203
01:07:16,135 --> 01:07:19,375
Speaker 17: on behalf of the month. The back room, there's an

1204
01:07:19,455 --> 01:07:24,055
Speaker 17: office and it looks out onto a pathio. Now presently

1205
01:07:24,215 --> 01:07:32,655
Speaker 17: it's got big lake and for it's worth he as

1206
01:07:32,855 --> 01:07:38,775
Speaker 17: light because he's he he's skips quite a bitter. Sure

1207
01:07:39,015 --> 01:07:46,695
Speaker 17: he's got. So we've looked at blinds and for a start,

1208
01:07:46,855 --> 01:07:48,815
Speaker 17: those woods. It's the two meter.

1209
01:07:48,815 --> 01:07:52,095
Speaker 5: Windows wide or two meters high.

1210
01:07:52,975 --> 01:08:01,735
Speaker 17: Two mets two meters and and with and we've looked

1211
01:08:01,775 --> 01:08:07,095
Speaker 17: at one and Bunnings and it's like it's double it's

1212
01:08:07,215 --> 01:08:12,175
Speaker 17: got kind of a see through blind and then another

1213
01:08:12,335 --> 01:08:15,175
Speaker 17: one coming from the same rail that you can pull down,

1214
01:08:15,655 --> 01:08:20,095
Speaker 17: and that's the darker ones. But ultimately vanestion blinds are

1215
01:08:20,135 --> 01:08:23,735
Speaker 17: too expensive. But we've thought about those wooden ones. Yes,

1216
01:08:24,055 --> 01:08:25,735
Speaker 17: what's your opinion.

1217
01:08:26,855 --> 01:08:30,055
Speaker 5: Look, I mean it comes down to application and cost, right,

1218
01:08:30,135 --> 01:08:32,455
Speaker 5: So if there's one that you can buy off the

1219
01:08:32,575 --> 01:08:35,015
Speaker 5: shelf and it's going to work for you, then that's

1220
01:08:35,095 --> 01:08:37,335
Speaker 5: going to work. But I think sometimes there's a bit

1221
01:08:37,335 --> 01:08:42,175
Speaker 5: of a challenge where window openings and so on different sizes,

1222
01:08:42,215 --> 01:08:46,975
Speaker 5: and so finding something that will fit is challenging. Could

1223
01:08:47,655 --> 01:08:50,335
Speaker 5: the other option is to there's lots of places now

1224
01:08:50,335 --> 01:08:54,855
Speaker 5: where you can order like roller blinds online and they're

1225
01:08:54,895 --> 01:08:58,255
Speaker 5: relatively simple to install. And you could get a blackout

1226
01:08:58,895 --> 01:09:03,055
Speaker 5: roller blind that you know will arrive. You give them

1227
01:09:03,095 --> 01:09:06,215
Speaker 5: the internal dimensions of the opening, they'll make the blind

1228
01:09:06,415 --> 01:09:10,375
Speaker 5: to suit. It comes, you screw two brackets into either side,

1229
01:09:10,815 --> 01:09:13,655
Speaker 5: clip the blind into it, and it'll be the right size.

1230
01:09:14,015 --> 01:09:18,455
Speaker 5: So I wonder whether an online option for a roller

1231
01:09:18,535 --> 01:09:21,135
Speaker 5: blind might be the simplest solution for you.

1232
01:09:22,095 --> 01:09:25,495
Speaker 17: And what sort of what sort of fabrics are we

1233
01:09:25,615 --> 01:09:27,815
Speaker 17: talking about? Would it be canvas?

1234
01:09:28,615 --> 01:09:30,455
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean it's I mean there's all sorts of

1235
01:09:30,495 --> 01:09:34,415
Speaker 5: different fabrics that blind installers use or blind suppliers use,

1236
01:09:34,455 --> 01:09:37,815
Speaker 5: but often it's how would you describe it, it's not

1237
01:09:37,935 --> 01:09:40,535
Speaker 5: really canvas, but you know, it's a heavy weight material.

1238
01:09:41,535 --> 01:09:44,175
Speaker 5: You can get them at a diffuse if you want

1239
01:09:44,255 --> 01:09:47,015
Speaker 5: to have some light and just some privacy, or you

1240
01:09:47,055 --> 01:09:50,055
Speaker 5: can go the blackout blinds. But to be fair and

1241
01:09:50,575 --> 01:09:52,415
Speaker 5: last couple of projects, I've used them quite a bit

1242
01:09:52,455 --> 01:09:55,815
Speaker 5: because they're a really straightforward solution and they you know,

1243
01:09:56,135 --> 01:09:58,055
Speaker 5: and then you can get them cleaned later on as well.

1244
01:09:58,095 --> 01:10:01,095
Speaker 5: I'll talk about that later on. Too good luck with that, Kate,

1245
01:10:01,215 --> 01:10:04,295
Speaker 5: But I think ordering online getting exactly the right size

1246
01:10:04,335 --> 01:10:07,255
Speaker 5: sounds like the better option. Andrew, good morning to you.

1247
01:10:08,855 --> 01:10:11,975
Speaker 21: I might have missed part of the conversation for but

1248
01:10:12,135 --> 01:10:15,655
Speaker 21: just for the cleaning up and resilicon and fixing water leaks,

1249
01:10:15,975 --> 01:10:17,775
Speaker 21: I've had a bit of success lately. I've had to

1250
01:10:17,815 --> 01:10:21,535
Speaker 21: redo some gutter corners and ends and scrape the hell

1251
01:10:21,615 --> 01:10:24,215
Speaker 21: out with a paint scraper just up. And it's often

1252
01:10:24,415 --> 01:10:26,935
Speaker 21: tricky to get into a long screw driver. But I

1253
01:10:27,015 --> 01:10:29,095
Speaker 21: reckon the key to it is I pour a few bit.

1254
01:10:29,015 --> 01:10:32,055
Speaker 15: Of myths in there to clean any bacteria.

1255
01:10:31,535 --> 01:10:33,815
Speaker 21: And mold and gunk and wipe it out with a

1256
01:10:33,855 --> 01:10:35,735
Speaker 21: class let it dry because it dries and a vair

1257
01:10:35,775 --> 01:10:36,375
Speaker 21: parate's easy.

1258
01:10:36,775 --> 01:10:39,535
Speaker 19: And then fill it up with bloody the silicon and stuff.

1259
01:10:39,575 --> 01:10:42,775
Speaker 21: And it's honestly, all these I've had one hundred percent

1260
01:10:42,815 --> 01:10:43,335
Speaker 21: strike great.

1261
01:10:43,415 --> 01:10:44,015
Speaker 19: It's been great.

1262
01:10:44,255 --> 01:10:45,895
Speaker 21: And I reckon the meths is a bit of the key.

1263
01:10:46,255 --> 01:10:49,975
Speaker 5: Yeah, But the preparation is the key too, isn't it.

1264
01:10:50,255 --> 01:10:50,495
Speaker 3: Yeah?

1265
01:10:50,855 --> 01:10:52,575
Speaker 21: Definitely like all of that stuff, isn't it.

1266
01:10:52,695 --> 01:10:52,895
Speaker 22: Yeah?

1267
01:10:53,295 --> 01:10:56,175
Speaker 5: Get rid of the old stuff, clean it. You know,

1268
01:10:56,415 --> 01:10:58,815
Speaker 5: whether it's like you could use a nice appropriate alcohol

1269
01:10:59,015 --> 01:11:00,855
Speaker 5: or in your case, use some mess or you can

1270
01:11:00,975 --> 01:11:03,615
Speaker 5: use the silicon remover and that sort of thing. But

1271
01:11:03,815 --> 01:11:07,695
Speaker 5: getting that surface clean and dry and then reapplying the sealant,

1272
01:11:08,095 --> 01:11:11,415
Speaker 5: and man, isn't it satisfying too when you're standing looking

1273
01:11:11,535 --> 01:11:13,255
Speaker 5: up at that drip that comes out of the junction

1274
01:11:13,815 --> 01:11:16,015
Speaker 5: in the corner of your spouting and then it's not

1275
01:11:16,255 --> 01:11:17,615
Speaker 5: there after you've done the job.

1276
01:11:18,495 --> 01:11:20,655
Speaker 21: Well, it's the damages going to the paint work where

1277
01:11:20,735 --> 01:11:24,015
Speaker 21: it splashes, and it's in the rhyme, you know, So

1278
01:11:24,215 --> 01:11:25,855
Speaker 21: we're just repainted. It's nice.

1279
01:11:25,975 --> 01:11:27,135
Speaker 12: The drops have to be fixed.

1280
01:11:28,055 --> 01:11:32,015
Speaker 5: Yeah, absolutely, it's good. It's all. I appreciate that, Andrew,

1281
01:11:32,375 --> 01:11:36,215
Speaker 5: thank you so all the very I mean, I know

1282
01:11:36,335 --> 01:11:39,175
Speaker 5: we talk with the raisine guys, with Bryson, with Jay

1283
01:11:39,255 --> 01:11:42,615
Speaker 5: from Razine quite a bit, and it's always preparation and

1284
01:11:42,735 --> 01:11:47,215
Speaker 5: that goes for gosh, it's almost anything in building. You know,

1285
01:11:47,295 --> 01:11:49,015
Speaker 5: whether you're doing some seilant, you got to make sure

1286
01:11:49,055 --> 01:11:50,975
Speaker 5: that that's prepped. If you're doing a job, you know,

1287
01:11:50,975 --> 01:11:53,015
Speaker 5: if you want a good paint job, it's it's about

1288
01:11:53,055 --> 01:11:55,895
Speaker 5: preparation in terms of cleanliness or sanding or getting rid

1289
01:11:55,935 --> 01:11:58,855
Speaker 5: of dust and so on. Everything is preparation for a

1290
01:11:58,895 --> 01:12:01,415
Speaker 5: good outcome. O eight one hundred and eighty ten eighty

1291
01:12:01,575 --> 01:12:04,975
Speaker 5: is that number to call? Sixty five inch TV on

1292
01:12:05,135 --> 01:12:05,535
Speaker 5: the wall?

1293
01:12:05,935 --> 01:12:07,855
Speaker 15: Really not bad?

1294
01:12:07,975 --> 01:12:12,855
Speaker 5: Sixty five in I think I might be the only

1295
01:12:12,975 --> 01:12:18,815
Speaker 5: man in history who's ever returned to an appliance store

1296
01:12:19,495 --> 01:12:24,215
Speaker 5: with a television saying it's too big. Now, that's a

1297
01:12:24,295 --> 01:12:26,695
Speaker 5: story from a while ago, but we're not going to

1298
01:12:26,735 --> 01:12:29,415
Speaker 5: go there. It still hurts of it. But anyway, right,

1299
01:12:29,535 --> 01:12:32,415
Speaker 5: Pet says the text sixty five inch TV. We need

1300
01:12:32,455 --> 01:12:35,215
Speaker 5: to put it on the wall. It's steel stud. What

1301
01:12:35,495 --> 01:12:37,735
Speaker 5: kind of screws do I need? Preferably something that I

1302
01:12:37,775 --> 01:12:43,095
Speaker 5: can wack on my Impactrol says Nate. Yes, you could

1303
01:12:43,655 --> 01:12:46,495
Speaker 5: fix the bracket that you need to put onto the

1304
01:12:46,575 --> 01:12:50,415
Speaker 5: wall in order to hang your sixty five inch TV up,

1305
01:12:51,375 --> 01:12:54,055
Speaker 5: as long as you can identify exactly where the steel studds,

1306
01:12:54,095 --> 01:12:56,815
Speaker 5: which means you'll probably need a stud finder or something similar.

1307
01:12:57,135 --> 01:12:59,455
Speaker 5: But then you'd want to use a screw with a

1308
01:12:59,655 --> 01:13:05,295
Speaker 5: fine thread in order to bind into the steel stud.

1309
01:13:06,815 --> 01:13:11,135
Speaker 5: And if the fixing's no good, you can toggle into

1310
01:13:11,215 --> 01:13:13,815
Speaker 5: the plaster board as well. If you use some good

1311
01:13:13,895 --> 01:13:18,295
Speaker 5: quality toggles that'll hold the TV. No trouble at all.

1312
01:13:18,935 --> 01:13:21,815
Speaker 5: But of course if you do toggle into plasterboard, when

1313
01:13:21,855 --> 01:13:24,175
Speaker 5: you take that away, you'll end up with, you know,

1314
01:13:24,615 --> 01:13:27,615
Speaker 5: at least a ten probably twelve milimeter hole, whereas a

1315
01:13:27,655 --> 01:13:29,415
Speaker 5: screw is going to be a little bit finer, but

1316
01:13:29,615 --> 01:13:33,255
Speaker 5: fine thread screw you'll be absolutely fine. Oh eight hundred

1317
01:13:33,335 --> 01:13:35,935
Speaker 5: eighty ten eighty is the number to call if you've

1318
01:13:35,975 --> 01:13:38,135
Speaker 5: got a question of a building nature. Well, the lines

1319
01:13:38,175 --> 01:13:40,575
Speaker 5: are open for you right now. Oh eight hundred eighty

1320
01:13:40,695 --> 01:13:43,375
Speaker 5: ten eighty. It is seven forty four at News Talks

1321
01:13:43,575 --> 01:13:44,815
Speaker 5: B helping you.

1322
01:13:45,015 --> 01:13:48,815
Speaker 1: Get those DIY projects done right. The resident Filder with

1323
01:13:49,095 --> 01:13:51,935
Speaker 1: Peter Wolfcat call Oh eight hundred eighty ten eighty Youth

1324
01:13:51,975 --> 01:13:52,495
Speaker 1: Talk ZB.

1325
01:13:54,215 --> 01:13:56,495
Speaker 5: In some ways, I probably should have left the microphone

1326
01:13:56,535 --> 01:13:58,495
Speaker 5: on during the conversation that I've just had with Locke,

1327
01:13:58,935 --> 01:14:00,935
Speaker 5: my producer. Both of us are getting just mild and

1328
01:14:01,015 --> 01:14:05,375
Speaker 5: excited about the thought that immediately when the show finishes,

1329
01:14:05,375 --> 01:14:07,255
Speaker 5: this yere at nine o'clock. Not that I'm keen to

1330
01:14:07,295 --> 01:14:10,255
Speaker 5: get out of here, but I am today because we're

1331
01:14:10,255 --> 01:14:14,575
Speaker 5: both going to trot across Devenport to the Tool Bizarre,

1332
01:14:14,615 --> 01:14:16,935
Speaker 5: which is happening outside the Clay Store, which is the

1333
01:14:16,975 --> 01:14:20,335
Speaker 5: community workshop in Devenport twenty seven Lake Row, just in

1334
01:14:20,415 --> 01:14:26,375
Speaker 5: case you're interested. And then Locke, it's the impossible question

1335
01:14:26,535 --> 01:14:30,775
Speaker 5: what tool should I buy? Well everything, of course, but

1336
01:14:31,615 --> 01:14:34,215
Speaker 5: and then we got onto a nice conversation about chisels

1337
01:14:36,215 --> 01:14:38,415
Speaker 5: and so what do you look for in a chisel,

1338
01:14:38,495 --> 01:14:41,175
Speaker 5: and I was just telling them that, like, I've got

1339
01:14:41,415 --> 01:14:45,095
Speaker 5: my set of chisels, which is a good quality Japanese

1340
01:14:45,175 --> 01:14:47,655
Speaker 5: set of chisels that I've had probably for thirty odd years,

1341
01:14:48,775 --> 01:14:52,055
Speaker 5: and then in the workshop, I've got my ever growing

1342
01:14:52,175 --> 01:14:55,575
Speaker 5: collection of old and beautiful chisels that I happen to

1343
01:14:55,655 --> 01:14:58,855
Speaker 5: pick up at various flea markets and so on. And

1344
01:14:59,015 --> 01:15:01,055
Speaker 5: I may well come home with a new chisel or

1345
01:15:01,095 --> 01:15:04,295
Speaker 5: a new old chisel today as well. But if it's

1346
01:15:04,335 --> 01:15:07,215
Speaker 5: got like Sheffield steel or something that stamped onto it,

1347
01:15:08,295 --> 01:15:10,695
Speaker 5: then that's great. Even if it's a little bit rusty,

1348
01:15:10,815 --> 01:15:12,535
Speaker 5: even if the blade is a bit nicked and all

1349
01:15:12,575 --> 01:15:14,855
Speaker 5: the rest of it, you can you can deal with that.

1350
01:15:14,975 --> 01:15:17,615
Speaker 5: But if the quality of the steel is there, then

1351
01:15:17,815 --> 01:15:21,255
Speaker 5: you can end up having a beautiful sharp chisel from

1352
01:15:21,335 --> 01:15:23,935
Speaker 5: an old kind of munted one that you might find

1353
01:15:24,415 --> 01:15:26,215
Speaker 5: at a flea market like the one that we're going

1354
01:15:26,255 --> 01:15:28,775
Speaker 5: to today, folks, I might see you there. Oh eight

1355
01:15:28,895 --> 01:15:31,815
Speaker 5: hundred and eighty ten eighty is that number to call?

1356
01:15:32,335 --> 01:15:34,215
Speaker 5: Means I won't get to Central Flea, which is where

1357
01:15:34,215 --> 01:15:36,535
Speaker 5: I normally go on a Sunday. But hey, I'll be

1358
01:15:36,615 --> 01:15:38,055
Speaker 5: back there next week, I think so.

1359
01:15:38,295 --> 01:15:38,495
Speaker 15: Yeah.

1360
01:15:38,815 --> 01:15:41,375
Speaker 5: And look, I love these little tool markets. I quite

1361
01:15:41,575 --> 01:15:45,695
Speaker 5: like there's a community aspect to all of this as well,

1362
01:15:46,255 --> 01:15:49,255
Speaker 5: like going to a flea market or a car boot

1363
01:15:49,375 --> 01:15:53,975
Speaker 5: sale that sort of thing. It's also about being with

1364
01:15:54,095 --> 01:15:56,415
Speaker 5: people and doing a little bit of business and a

1365
01:15:56,455 --> 01:16:01,375
Speaker 5: bit of trading and recycling as well. You know, old tools,

1366
01:16:01,375 --> 01:16:03,575
Speaker 5: if they're sitting in your workshop and you're not using

1367
01:16:03,655 --> 01:16:05,175
Speaker 5: them and you don't think you'll need them in the

1368
01:16:05,255 --> 01:16:08,415
Speaker 5: near future, why not provide an opportunity for someone else

1369
01:16:08,455 --> 01:16:11,055
Speaker 5: to buy them. And if you're someone who's starting out

1370
01:16:11,095 --> 01:16:12,615
Speaker 5: and you think, ah, I could go and get some

1371
01:16:13,615 --> 01:16:18,055
Speaker 5: maybe some old quality tools that I can restore, that's

1372
01:16:18,135 --> 01:16:20,815
Speaker 5: not a bad thing. It's all very instagramy too at

1373
01:16:20,855 --> 01:16:23,615
Speaker 5: the moment, old tools and collections of tools and that

1374
01:16:23,735 --> 01:16:26,175
Speaker 5: sort of thing. To be fear, my workshop doesn't look

1375
01:16:26,255 --> 01:16:29,015
Speaker 5: like anything like you might see on Instagram with all

1376
01:16:29,055 --> 01:16:33,175
Speaker 5: these beautiful tools, neatly arrayed on the walls and all

1377
01:16:33,215 --> 01:16:36,015
Speaker 5: the rest of it. That's not my workshop at all.

1378
01:16:36,055 --> 01:16:38,495
Speaker 5: Oh eight hundred and eighty ten eighty. Let's talk all

1379
01:16:38,575 --> 01:16:42,135
Speaker 5: things building and construction and John a very good morning.

1380
01:16:43,055 --> 01:16:44,495
Speaker 12: Good morning ratings.

1381
01:16:45,695 --> 01:16:47,095
Speaker 5: Are you very well?

1382
01:16:47,295 --> 01:16:47,695
Speaker 12: What's up?

1383
01:16:49,815 --> 01:16:54,935
Speaker 20: Poverty which is about twenty years old and maybe a

1384
01:16:54,975 --> 01:16:59,095
Speaker 20: bit more. I moved and it was already built. It's

1385
01:16:59,215 --> 01:17:01,975
Speaker 20: a retaining wall at the back end of the poverty, yes,

1386
01:17:02,575 --> 01:17:09,175
Speaker 20: and it's lower than the front. Obviously the neighbor has

1387
01:17:09,255 --> 01:17:12,055
Speaker 20: been complained and that the water is leaking out of

1388
01:17:12,175 --> 01:17:16,735
Speaker 20: this retaining wall? Am I responsible for fitting that?

1389
01:17:18,295 --> 01:17:21,095
Speaker 5: It really depends on which side of the boundary it's on.

1390
01:17:21,375 --> 01:17:24,295
Speaker 5: So is it definitely your retaining wall?

1391
01:17:25,735 --> 01:17:29,935
Speaker 20: Well, I would imagine, so it's holding of the.

1392
01:17:31,415 --> 01:17:37,055
Speaker 5: Half of the garden, right, Okay, yeah, but sometimes it

1393
01:17:37,175 --> 01:17:39,175
Speaker 5: looks most likely I think it is going to be

1394
01:17:41,775 --> 01:17:44,735
Speaker 5: your responsibility in terms of it's to your benefit. But

1395
01:17:45,695 --> 01:17:48,655
Speaker 5: let's say years ago, prior to you owning the house,

1396
01:17:48,775 --> 01:17:51,495
Speaker 5: the neighbor actually wanted to create a flat area, so

1397
01:17:51,695 --> 01:17:55,335
Speaker 5: they installed a retaining wall which allowed them to excavate

1398
01:17:55,495 --> 01:17:58,655
Speaker 5: down and give them cells a flat area. And which case,

1399
01:17:59,135 --> 01:18:02,175
Speaker 5: you know, depending on where the boundary is, it may

1400
01:18:02,295 --> 01:18:04,215
Speaker 5: in fact be their retaining wall. So the first thing

1401
01:18:04,415 --> 01:18:07,855
Speaker 5: that I would do is determine whether the which side

1402
01:18:07,895 --> 01:18:10,575
Speaker 5: of the boundary is the retaining wall. If it's on

1403
01:18:10,855 --> 01:18:14,815
Speaker 5: your side, then it is your responsibility. And yes, there

1404
01:18:14,975 --> 01:18:19,175
Speaker 5: is a responsibility for you to control stormwater discharge in

1405
01:18:19,335 --> 01:18:22,975
Speaker 5: general from your property. So if the neighbor is saying, well, look,

1406
01:18:24,175 --> 01:18:26,375
Speaker 5: you know, every time it rains, I'm getting this torrent

1407
01:18:26,455 --> 01:18:29,655
Speaker 5: of water, or no matter how much water coming out

1408
01:18:29,655 --> 01:18:31,855
Speaker 5: of the bottom of the retaining wall onto my property,

1409
01:18:31,935 --> 01:18:35,415
Speaker 5: you'll need to do something about that. Saying that that

1410
01:18:35,695 --> 01:18:41,775
Speaker 5: could actually be not terribly easy to do, depending on

1411
01:18:41,855 --> 01:18:45,655
Speaker 5: where your existing drainage is, because chances are that retaining wall,

1412
01:18:45,775 --> 01:18:48,615
Speaker 5: the bottom of that wall is a long way below

1413
01:18:48,695 --> 01:18:52,215
Speaker 5: your existing stormwater, in which case, in order to do

1414
01:18:52,335 --> 01:18:55,975
Speaker 5: anything about it, you'd be you know, potentially digging in

1415
01:18:56,055 --> 01:18:59,695
Speaker 5: a catch pit there, collecting the water, running power out

1416
01:18:59,775 --> 01:19:02,095
Speaker 5: to it, putting in a pump, and pumping that water

1417
01:19:02,255 --> 01:19:05,655
Speaker 5: back out and up to your existing stormwater. That's a

1418
01:19:06,695 --> 01:19:13,455
Speaker 5: several thousand dollars exercise. Yeah, so before you offer it,

1419
01:19:13,575 --> 01:19:16,775
Speaker 5: I mean, if it's on your side, I think you

1420
01:19:16,895 --> 01:19:20,375
Speaker 5: do have a responsibility. But I also understand that if

1421
01:19:20,415 --> 01:19:22,935
Speaker 5: you accept responsibility and say that you're going to do

1422
01:19:23,055 --> 01:19:25,895
Speaker 5: something about it, you're you're going to have to spend

1423
01:19:25,975 --> 01:19:27,215
Speaker 5: a decent chunk of money.

1424
01:19:28,735 --> 01:19:29,375
Speaker 20: Oh very good.

1425
01:19:29,575 --> 01:19:34,535
Speaker 5: Okay then yeah, but there are rights and responsibilities that

1426
01:19:34,655 --> 01:19:37,255
Speaker 5: you have under the Property Act. So yes, if it's

1427
01:19:37,575 --> 01:19:39,655
Speaker 5: if the water is coming from your property and it's

1428
01:19:39,735 --> 01:19:42,575
Speaker 5: on to your neighbors, you have a responsibility to deal

1429
01:19:42,655 --> 01:19:42,815
Speaker 5: with that.

1430
01:19:44,815 --> 01:19:45,335
Speaker 20: Oh very good.

1431
01:19:45,575 --> 01:19:47,255
Speaker 5: All right, all the very best to you, John, take

1432
01:19:47,295 --> 01:19:50,455
Speaker 5: care bother. The your news talk said be oh wait,

1433
01:19:50,495 --> 01:19:53,175
Speaker 5: one hundred and eighty ten eighty is the number to call.

1434
01:19:53,255 --> 01:19:55,535
Speaker 5: We might have time for one more before the news. Lynn,

1435
01:19:55,615 --> 01:20:01,695
Speaker 5: good morning, I've got a calisey your house, Yes, and

1436
01:20:02,015 --> 01:20:03,655
Speaker 5: I wanted to spray it was ripcord.

1437
01:20:03,775 --> 01:20:04,815
Speaker 13: Well, let affect the.

1438
01:20:07,255 --> 01:20:09,775
Speaker 5: When you say color steel house, this is you've got

1439
01:20:09,855 --> 01:20:13,335
Speaker 5: metal cladding. Yeah, on the exterior of the house as well.

1440
01:20:13,815 --> 01:20:14,015
Speaker 7: Yeah.

1441
01:20:14,295 --> 01:20:16,615
Speaker 5: Yes, And then you want to use ripcord, which is

1442
01:20:16,695 --> 01:20:18,335
Speaker 5: an insect aside, isn't it?

1443
01:20:19,015 --> 01:20:19,215
Speaker 7: Yes?

1444
01:20:19,295 --> 01:20:19,535
Speaker 13: It is.

1445
01:20:19,935 --> 01:20:20,135
Speaker 7: Yeah.

1446
01:20:21,375 --> 01:20:23,095
Speaker 5: Look, the best thing to do is to go to

1447
01:20:23,255 --> 01:20:26,015
Speaker 5: a small area that's you know, maybe at the back

1448
01:20:26,055 --> 01:20:28,615
Speaker 5: of the house or somewhere that's not obvious. And apply

1449
01:20:28,815 --> 01:20:32,295
Speaker 5: some and see what happens to it, and if it

1450
01:20:32,415 --> 01:20:35,255
Speaker 5: does discolor it there, then obviously I'd look at using

1451
01:20:35,335 --> 01:20:39,055
Speaker 5: a different type of insect control. But the best thing

1452
01:20:39,135 --> 01:20:40,015
Speaker 5: to do is just test it.

1453
01:20:41,135 --> 01:20:44,455
Speaker 10: Okay, yep, I'll do that well. And I had a

1454
01:20:44,535 --> 01:20:48,295
Speaker 10: second question. I've got to go to each end of

1455
01:20:48,335 --> 01:20:52,775
Speaker 10: this house and if I or if I get a

1456
01:20:52,935 --> 01:20:58,015
Speaker 10: latch just the farm lacked the ue shape put into

1457
01:20:58,095 --> 01:21:01,855
Speaker 10: the hammet into the through the color steel, will it

1458
01:21:02,015 --> 01:21:02,695
Speaker 10: create a leak?

1459
01:21:03,535 --> 01:21:05,215
Speaker 5: You've got to be a little bit careful about that.

1460
01:21:07,335 --> 01:21:14,135
Speaker 5: I would probably if you the best thing to do

1461
01:21:14,695 --> 01:21:17,175
Speaker 5: would be to find, like what you'll find when you're

1462
01:21:17,215 --> 01:21:19,255
Speaker 5: looking at the exterior of the cladding is there'll be

1463
01:21:19,295 --> 01:21:22,175
Speaker 5: a row of fixings right so where that row of

1464
01:21:22,255 --> 01:21:26,055
Speaker 5: fixings are, there will be something solid behind that that

1465
01:21:26,135 --> 01:21:28,935
Speaker 5: you could fix into. So what you want to do

1466
01:21:29,335 --> 01:21:31,615
Speaker 5: is either make sure that your fixings are going through

1467
01:21:31,655 --> 01:21:33,895
Speaker 5: there and you're using the right fixing with a Neo

1468
01:21:33,935 --> 01:21:36,935
Speaker 5: Preme washer so that you're not allowing water to get

1469
01:21:36,975 --> 01:21:41,015
Speaker 5: in there. Or you could actually have maybe a small

1470
01:21:41,215 --> 01:21:44,535
Speaker 5: plate made that you could roof it onto the ribs

1471
01:21:44,575 --> 01:21:49,135
Speaker 5: of the metal cladding and then fix your bracket to that.

1472
01:21:50,335 --> 01:21:52,575
Speaker 10: Yeah, I was going to get the builder to do

1473
01:21:52,695 --> 01:21:55,655
Speaker 10: it anyway, but I think it was him that actually

1474
01:21:55,735 --> 01:21:59,215
Speaker 10: said or you know, they didn't want to create any Yeah,

1475
01:21:59,215 --> 01:21:59,735
Speaker 10: good on them.

1476
01:21:59,975 --> 01:22:02,255
Speaker 5: And that's exactly the right approach to take. So I

1477
01:22:02,335 --> 01:22:04,935
Speaker 5: think being cautious around and this is a good general

1478
01:22:05,015 --> 01:22:07,615
Speaker 5: rule right for any extra cladding. You don't want to

1479
01:22:07,735 --> 01:22:12,015
Speaker 5: just go screwing anything to anywhere because there's always a

1480
01:22:12,055 --> 01:22:14,415
Speaker 5: potential that will cause leks. But there will be a

1481
01:22:14,495 --> 01:22:16,695
Speaker 5: way of doing it and either you know, using the

1482
01:22:16,815 --> 01:22:20,135
Speaker 5: right fixings or having putting a plate on that's only

1483
01:22:20,215 --> 01:22:21,935
Speaker 5: fixed the rip, that might be the way to go.

1484
01:22:22,735 --> 01:22:24,535
Speaker 5: Good luck with all of that, Linn, I'm sure there'll

1485
01:22:24,535 --> 01:22:27,055
Speaker 5: be a solution. Could you repeat the address of the

1486
01:22:27,095 --> 01:22:31,015
Speaker 5: tour market, Yes, twenty seven Lake Road in Devonport. It's

1487
01:22:31,015 --> 01:22:35,175
Speaker 5: outside the old Clay store in Devenport. See there after

1488
01:22:35,295 --> 01:22:36,535
Speaker 5: nine back after.

1489
01:22:36,375 --> 01:22:36,855
Speaker 7: The break.

1490
01:22:38,495 --> 01:22:42,255
Speaker 1: Measure twice God was but maybe called Pete first, Peter

1491
01:22:42,335 --> 01:22:45,015
Speaker 1: wolfgab the resident builder. News talks there'd be.

1492
01:22:45,935 --> 01:22:48,175
Speaker 5: You and news talks there'd be and it's open line

1493
01:22:48,215 --> 01:22:51,095
Speaker 5: on all things building and construction. So if you've got

1494
01:22:51,135 --> 01:22:53,855
Speaker 5: a question of a building nature, whether it is I'm

1495
01:22:53,895 --> 01:22:57,415
Speaker 5: just looking back through the notes today, wooden floors, vertical cladding,

1496
01:22:57,935 --> 01:23:02,015
Speaker 5: fixing plaster or drainage coil converting from gas to electric,

1497
01:23:02,975 --> 01:23:07,415
Speaker 5: that was a good one, seilants, blinds, retaining walls, And

1498
01:23:08,095 --> 01:23:11,695
Speaker 5: just before the break we're talking or Lynn asked about

1499
01:23:12,535 --> 01:23:16,135
Speaker 5: is there a ripcord, which is, from my understanding, an

1500
01:23:16,215 --> 01:23:20,215
Speaker 5: insecticide of some description. Does it have an impact on

1501
01:23:20,695 --> 01:23:23,215
Speaker 5: metal cladding in terms of if you applied over there.

1502
01:23:23,255 --> 01:23:26,575
Speaker 5: We've had a couple of texts on that. Jay texture

1503
01:23:26,655 --> 01:23:29,655
Speaker 5: and says, hey, look, ripcord can leave a white residue

1504
01:23:29,775 --> 01:23:33,335
Speaker 5: sometimes depending on the color of the paint, but it

1505
01:23:33,415 --> 01:23:36,335
Speaker 5: can be washed off easily. But that of course negates

1506
01:23:36,375 --> 01:23:40,055
Speaker 5: the whole point of using some sort of residual spray

1507
01:23:40,615 --> 01:23:41,295
Speaker 5: to help.

1508
01:23:41,135 --> 01:23:41,735
Speaker 15: With your.

1509
01:23:43,335 --> 01:23:48,735
Speaker 5: Insect control. It is one of the things like dark

1510
01:23:49,375 --> 01:23:51,695
Speaker 5: claddings and that they do tend to attract spiders, a

1511
01:23:52,015 --> 01:23:54,055
Speaker 5: which I think is the reason that people probably want

1512
01:23:54,135 --> 01:23:59,215
Speaker 5: to look at spraying some sort of insecticide on there.

1513
01:23:59,655 --> 01:24:03,055
Speaker 5: I'm mildly distracted by what is potentially the best text

1514
01:24:03,135 --> 01:24:06,135
Speaker 5: of the day. They're all good, but there's always a favorite.

1515
01:24:06,735 --> 01:24:08,975
Speaker 5: My Chisels says the person. We had a bit of

1516
01:24:09,015 --> 01:24:12,495
Speaker 5: a discussion about old tools and chisels and the quality

1517
01:24:12,575 --> 01:24:15,455
Speaker 5: of old steel in some of the chisels that you

1518
01:24:15,535 --> 01:24:17,975
Speaker 5: might be able to buy. It's something like the Devnport

1519
01:24:18,015 --> 01:24:20,535
Speaker 5: tool Bizarre, which happens to be would have started just

1520
01:24:20,535 --> 01:24:22,455
Speaker 5: a couple of minutes ago, and we'll be there in

1521
01:24:22,455 --> 01:24:25,455
Speaker 5: about an hour and a bit. Anyway, my chisel, says

1522
01:24:25,495 --> 01:24:29,855
Speaker 5: the texter. My chisels are exceptionally good quality steel. They

1523
01:24:29,975 --> 01:24:34,615
Speaker 5: have to be, as they double as screwdrivers. That's got

1524
01:24:34,735 --> 01:24:36,935
Speaker 5: to be, like I'm going to take a photograph of that.

1525
01:24:36,975 --> 01:24:42,735
Speaker 5: I'm going to keep that. That's it would be even

1526
01:24:42,815 --> 01:24:46,935
Speaker 5: funnier if it wasn't true. Probably it's either that or

1527
01:24:47,095 --> 01:24:53,175
Speaker 5: tin openers using either your screwdriver or potentially your chisel,

1528
01:24:54,815 --> 01:24:57,495
Speaker 5: or using chisels as pride bars that sort of thing

1529
01:24:57,535 --> 01:25:02,295
Speaker 5: as well. Oh that's fantastic. Good news about most chisels, though,

1530
01:25:02,455 --> 01:25:04,615
Speaker 5: is if you've got the right gear, you can sharpen

1531
01:25:04,695 --> 01:25:09,015
Speaker 5: them and return them to their the intention that God

1532
01:25:09,135 --> 01:25:12,335
Speaker 5: created or God decided when he created chisels. But anyway,

1533
01:25:12,895 --> 01:25:14,975
Speaker 5: eight hundred and eighty ten eighty is that number to

1534
01:25:15,055 --> 01:25:17,375
Speaker 5: call if you've got a question of building nature. We're

1535
01:25:17,375 --> 01:25:20,735
Speaker 5: talking all things building in construction, tips and tricks are

1536
01:25:20,975 --> 01:25:27,215
Speaker 5: the right product to use, and this is an increasingly issue,

1537
01:25:27,255 --> 01:25:30,535
Speaker 5: but it's something to be mindful of, which is as

1538
01:25:30,615 --> 01:25:33,975
Speaker 5: we get I guess more and more sophisticated products and

1539
01:25:34,095 --> 01:25:38,015
Speaker 5: a wider range of products. They're designed for specific purposes

1540
01:25:38,135 --> 01:25:41,615
Speaker 5: and sometimes you could use it in a situation that

1541
01:25:41,695 --> 01:25:44,455
Speaker 5: you weren't expecting. But most of the time it's the

1542
01:25:44,615 --> 01:25:47,735
Speaker 5: right product for the right application will give you the

1543
01:25:47,895 --> 01:25:50,535
Speaker 5: right outcome. A couple of other techs that have come

1544
01:25:50,615 --> 01:25:53,175
Speaker 5: through as well Morning Peak. I've got a two story

1545
01:25:53,215 --> 01:25:56,655
Speaker 5: house with a flat buttantyl roof. This is leaking and

1546
01:25:56,775 --> 01:25:58,935
Speaker 5: the roof has recommend that I use a product and

1547
01:25:59,015 --> 01:26:00,895
Speaker 5: then they name the product. I'll leave that out for

1548
01:26:01,015 --> 01:26:04,615
Speaker 5: now instead of replacing the butteanyl. I have questions in

1549
01:26:04,775 --> 01:26:08,215
Speaker 5: my mind regarding the potential longevity of such a coating

1550
01:26:08,295 --> 01:26:13,575
Speaker 5: and would appreciate your thoughts. Thanks from Gary. Gary. Look,

1551
01:26:13,695 --> 01:26:17,095
Speaker 5: I mean, if your existing roof is leaking, then it's

1552
01:26:17,335 --> 01:26:19,935
Speaker 5: probably reached the end of its life. Now there are

1553
01:26:20,215 --> 01:26:24,855
Speaker 5: applications in this case for coatings that will adhere to

1554
01:26:24,975 --> 01:26:29,815
Speaker 5: butte nyl and provide you with another water proof or

1555
01:26:29,895 --> 01:26:31,575
Speaker 5: weather type coating over the top.

1556
01:26:31,615 --> 01:26:31,775
Speaker 21: Of it.

1557
01:26:31,975 --> 01:26:35,375
Speaker 5: But for example, if the butteanyl has started to delaminate

1558
01:26:35,455 --> 01:26:38,895
Speaker 5: from the substrate, or if there's a failure in the substrate,

1559
01:26:39,255 --> 01:26:41,815
Speaker 5: or there's a failure in the fixings of the substrate,

1560
01:26:41,935 --> 01:26:45,735
Speaker 5: all of which I've seen, then applying a coating isn't

1561
01:26:45,775 --> 01:26:49,775
Speaker 5: going to help that. But if it's kind of a

1562
01:26:49,895 --> 01:26:55,655
Speaker 5: protective measure, if you're realistic about the longevity of your fix,

1563
01:26:56,295 --> 01:27:02,575
Speaker 5: then yes it's worth investigating, would be my approach to it. Yeah,

1564
01:27:02,975 --> 01:27:04,375
Speaker 5: let us know how you get on with that. One

1565
01:27:04,615 --> 01:27:07,015
Speaker 5: oh eight hundred and eighty ten eighty is the number

1566
01:27:07,055 --> 01:27:08,935
Speaker 5: to call now. Last week on the show too, around

1567
01:27:08,975 --> 01:27:11,375
Speaker 5: this time, we had a chat with John Davies. John

1568
01:27:12,015 --> 01:27:14,615
Speaker 5: is with pro Climber. Pro Climber of the people who

1569
01:27:14,695 --> 01:27:17,935
Speaker 5: are hosting a series of seminars that are going to

1570
01:27:18,015 --> 01:27:24,575
Speaker 5: happen around the country next week, So christ Church, Wellington, Auckland.

1571
01:27:24,935 --> 01:27:28,295
Speaker 5: The Oakland event is on Friday, the sixth of March.

1572
01:27:28,695 --> 01:27:31,855
Speaker 5: It's the Building Science Summit. I've had a number of

1573
01:27:31,895 --> 01:27:34,935
Speaker 5: people sort of asked me about that during the course

1574
01:27:34,975 --> 01:27:36,935
Speaker 5: of the week. Best way to have a look at

1575
01:27:36,975 --> 01:27:40,455
Speaker 5: it is to go online. You'll find that event Bright

1576
01:27:40,615 --> 01:27:43,535
Speaker 5: have the tickets and the details. So it's the Building

1577
01:27:43,775 --> 01:27:48,935
Speaker 5: Science Summit, certainly looking forward to that and some of

1578
01:27:48,935 --> 01:27:51,655
Speaker 5: the guys that I work with at Stark Windows. Benji's

1579
01:27:51,655 --> 01:27:54,575
Speaker 5: going to be presenting as well talking about this. So

1580
01:27:55,015 --> 01:27:59,615
Speaker 5: really good presenters, international speakers coming to New Zealand for

1581
01:27:59,775 --> 01:28:05,255
Speaker 5: this series. So it is technical, very technical, but if

1582
01:28:05,295 --> 01:28:07,135
Speaker 5: you're in that space, could be a really good thing

1583
01:28:07,175 --> 01:28:09,255
Speaker 5: to be part of. So Building Site Summit, look at

1584
01:28:09,295 --> 01:28:11,935
Speaker 5: it online and chances I might see you there on

1585
01:28:12,015 --> 01:28:14,695
Speaker 5: the Friday. Oh wait, one hundred and eighty ten eighty

1586
01:28:14,775 --> 01:28:16,415
Speaker 5: the number the call great, good morning.

1587
01:28:17,215 --> 01:28:20,855
Speaker 15: Yeah morning, Hey, hey, I've got a yeah, good, got

1588
01:28:20,855 --> 01:28:23,175
Speaker 15: a question for you. So I've got to I've got

1589
01:28:23,215 --> 01:28:28,815
Speaker 15: a his house and land package and I'll tell you

1590
01:28:28,855 --> 01:28:31,575
Speaker 15: it's in that way anyway, I want to build a

1591
01:28:31,855 --> 01:28:36,815
Speaker 15: little shed on kind of like the neighbors being what

1592
01:28:37,015 --> 01:28:40,575
Speaker 15: are the regulations for for that? Like how what did

1593
01:28:40,655 --> 01:28:41,655
Speaker 15: the max I can build?

1594
01:28:41,735 --> 01:28:48,535
Speaker 5: And yes, yeah, of interesting the rules changed so.

1595
01:28:48,895 --> 01:28:50,975
Speaker 15: Yeah, I know, I know that's why I'm asking. Yeah,

1596
01:28:51,055 --> 01:28:52,535
Speaker 15: I don't know what it's changed to.

1597
01:28:52,735 --> 01:28:55,415
Speaker 5: Okay, the guidance you can find the guidance on the

1598
01:28:55,495 --> 01:28:57,975
Speaker 5: MBI website. But I can tell you because I did

1599
01:28:58,175 --> 01:29:00,135
Speaker 5: to be fair. Actually slightly get it wrong a couple

1600
01:29:00,175 --> 01:29:03,495
Speaker 5: of weeks ago. So if it's if it's ten square

1601
01:29:03,575 --> 01:29:08,655
Speaker 5: meters or less, you can totally the garden shed up

1602
01:29:08,735 --> 01:29:13,335
Speaker 5: to the boundary. Basically there's no restructure. Now I've got it.

1603
01:29:13,575 --> 01:29:15,935
Speaker 15: And what about what about high? Wise? Can I go

1604
01:29:16,775 --> 01:29:18,695
Speaker 15: to five meters high or no?

1605
01:29:19,335 --> 01:29:22,095
Speaker 5: I think it's it's what would be considered reasonable. So

1606
01:29:22,255 --> 01:29:26,295
Speaker 5: let's say two point two two point four you know, okay,

1607
01:29:27,175 --> 01:29:29,495
Speaker 5: it's an offense. It's the sort of thing that if

1608
01:29:29,535 --> 01:29:32,135
Speaker 5: you went down if you've ordered one online or if

1609
01:29:32,175 --> 01:29:33,975
Speaker 5: you bought one at a hardware store.

1610
01:29:34,255 --> 01:29:34,415
Speaker 12: You know.

1611
01:29:34,575 --> 01:29:36,935
Speaker 5: And if it's say it's nine square meters, chance are

1612
01:29:36,975 --> 01:29:39,375
Speaker 5: it's going to be two meters two point two high.

1613
01:29:39,615 --> 01:29:42,495
Speaker 5: Roughly it might be two point four. I mean, I'd

1614
01:29:42,535 --> 01:29:44,655
Speaker 5: feel a bit stinc about putting a two point four

1615
01:29:44,735 --> 01:29:48,255
Speaker 5: meter high structure right on the boundary next to my neighbors,

1616
01:29:48,335 --> 01:29:52,015
Speaker 5: given that most boundary fences are one point eight and

1617
01:29:52,415 --> 01:29:54,495
Speaker 5: the other thing. And this is where this is a

1618
01:29:54,575 --> 01:29:57,615
Speaker 5: practical concern from my point of view, which is okay.

1619
01:29:57,735 --> 01:30:00,855
Speaker 5: So let's say you do put a ten square meter

1620
01:30:01,615 --> 01:30:07,095
Speaker 5: garden shed against the on the boundary. Basically, what happens

1621
01:30:07,135 --> 01:30:10,255
Speaker 5: when you need to, you know, get to the weeds

1622
01:30:10,295 --> 01:30:13,215
Speaker 5: in between there, or get to the cladding or anything

1623
01:30:13,295 --> 01:30:16,335
Speaker 5: like that. So effectively, you're you're putting it up against

1624
01:30:16,335 --> 01:30:18,255
Speaker 5: potentially putting it up against the fence, and then you

1625
01:30:18,375 --> 01:30:23,495
Speaker 5: can never get access to that that wall again, which

1626
01:30:23,575 --> 01:30:26,615
Speaker 5: doesn't seem sensible to me. So maybe what you do

1627
01:30:26,775 --> 01:30:28,335
Speaker 5: is you go, Okay, I know I can go to

1628
01:30:28,415 --> 01:30:30,295
Speaker 5: the boundary, but what I'll do is I'll go three

1629
01:30:30,415 --> 01:30:33,135
Speaker 5: hundred miles off the boundary. I can sort of squeak

1630
01:30:33,215 --> 01:30:35,215
Speaker 5: in there and get to it. And the other thing

1631
01:30:35,335 --> 01:30:37,775
Speaker 5: is ten square meters creates quite a bit of storm water.

1632
01:30:37,975 --> 01:30:42,335
Speaker 5: So my own personal plea would be be considerate about

1633
01:30:42,375 --> 01:30:45,695
Speaker 5: where that stormwater goes so that it's not something that

1634
01:30:45,895 --> 01:30:47,935
Speaker 5: that goes. So a small water tank is.

1635
01:30:48,015 --> 01:30:53,055
Speaker 15: Perfect, right, I've already got an drainage set up perfect

1636
01:30:53,575 --> 01:30:54,855
Speaker 15: into the lawn.

1637
01:30:54,935 --> 01:30:58,455
Speaker 5: So yeah, awesome, Yeah, technically ten square meters can go

1638
01:30:58,535 --> 01:30:59,055
Speaker 5: on the boundary.

1639
01:31:00,815 --> 01:31:04,615
Speaker 15: Yeah, all right, all the very best, see what I

1640
01:31:04,655 --> 01:31:05,175
Speaker 15: can do, all.

1641
01:31:05,095 --> 01:31:10,215
Speaker 5: Right, take care then, yeah, yeah, it's a practical thing.

1642
01:31:10,855 --> 01:31:12,895
Speaker 5: Do you really want to put it hard against the

1643
01:31:12,935 --> 01:31:14,655
Speaker 5: boundary and then never be able to get to that

1644
01:31:15,295 --> 01:31:19,095
Speaker 5: wall that's adjacent to the boundary again without moving the shed. Basically,

1645
01:31:19,455 --> 01:31:22,335
Speaker 5: oh eight d eighty the number to call Johnny, Good morning,

1646
01:31:23,735 --> 01:31:25,055
Speaker 5: Yeah morning.

1647
01:31:27,655 --> 01:31:31,575
Speaker 23: My question is I've got I was given a coal range,

1648
01:31:31,895 --> 01:31:34,935
Speaker 23: an old coal range, right, that was ripped out of

1649
01:31:34,975 --> 01:31:35,815
Speaker 23: my neighbor's house.

1650
01:31:36,975 --> 01:31:37,775
Speaker 19: And I don't I.

1651
01:31:37,775 --> 01:31:40,735
Speaker 23: Don't know if you remember the old coal ranges that

1652
01:31:40,895 --> 01:31:43,895
Speaker 23: were quite you know, that were generally set into the walls.

1653
01:31:44,455 --> 01:31:47,775
Speaker 5: Yes, well I know of them, but to be fair,

1654
01:31:47,935 --> 01:31:50,295
Speaker 5: I'm getting old, but I'm not that old, right.

1655
01:31:50,615 --> 01:31:54,135
Speaker 23: Right, okay, right, So this one's half the size of

1656
01:31:55,535 --> 01:32:00,095
Speaker 23: what they used to have back in the day, and

1657
01:32:00,455 --> 01:32:02,335
Speaker 23: it's got two plates, right.

1658
01:32:02,895 --> 01:32:05,095
Speaker 19: So I left this thing outside and.

1659
01:32:06,575 --> 01:32:10,255
Speaker 23: It's got some leaks, so the smoke, because it was

1660
01:32:10,335 --> 01:32:12,935
Speaker 23: in part, I had to put it back together like

1661
01:32:13,015 --> 01:32:15,735
Speaker 23: all the doors, you know, I re hung them.

1662
01:32:17,335 --> 01:32:17,735
Speaker 11: Plates.

1663
01:32:19,735 --> 01:32:25,415
Speaker 23: The actual top was totally separate, and I plunged that

1664
01:32:25,575 --> 01:32:27,855
Speaker 23: back on top had a couple of screws that you

1665
01:32:28,015 --> 01:32:28,575
Speaker 23: tightened up.

1666
01:32:29,055 --> 01:32:30,975
Speaker 12: But the smoke was still.

1667
01:32:30,895 --> 01:32:33,655
Speaker 23: Leaking out of some around the edge.

1668
01:32:33,975 --> 01:32:38,415
Speaker 5: Yes, and I'm wondering, is there a product that you.

1669
01:32:38,575 --> 01:32:42,415
Speaker 23: Can use to actually stop, you know, to put in

1670
01:32:42,535 --> 01:32:44,895
Speaker 23: the gaps. They take a lot Basically I'm looking at

1671
01:32:44,935 --> 01:32:46,495
Speaker 23: something that takes a lot of heat.

1672
01:32:46,735 --> 01:32:50,495
Speaker 12: Yes, or will Is there a product that does there

1673
01:32:50,495 --> 01:32:51,095
Speaker 12: will steal it?

1674
01:32:52,975 --> 01:32:53,135
Speaker 5: Yes?

1675
01:32:53,295 --> 01:32:54,015
Speaker 7: There is.

1676
01:32:55,775 --> 01:32:58,255
Speaker 5: And yet part of me is reluctant to sort of

1677
01:32:58,335 --> 01:33:01,135
Speaker 5: go into how you might solve the problem because I

1678
01:33:01,215 --> 01:33:03,375
Speaker 5: also don't want to be part of a situation where

1679
01:33:03,735 --> 01:33:09,855
Speaker 5: you decide to install this and no, this isott something

1680
01:33:09,935 --> 01:33:15,695
Speaker 5: goes wrong. I won't put that on you, no, I know,

1681
01:33:15,895 --> 01:33:17,135
Speaker 5: but you know I've got a.

1682
01:33:17,135 --> 01:33:20,855
Speaker 19: Respont as a product, and I'll have a look for it.

1683
01:33:21,415 --> 01:33:23,535
Speaker 5: The other thing that I don't know the answer to,

1684
01:33:23,695 --> 01:33:26,695
Speaker 5: but I'm going to pose the question anyway, is adding

1685
01:33:27,015 --> 01:33:29,695
Speaker 5: this to your house would that trigger a requirement for

1686
01:33:29,735 --> 01:33:30,575
Speaker 5: a building consent?

1687
01:33:31,295 --> 01:33:33,895
Speaker 19: And I don't want to go at this stage.

1688
01:33:34,015 --> 01:33:35,255
Speaker 23: I don't want to go into that.

1689
01:33:35,455 --> 01:33:38,015
Speaker 5: I know you don't, but I again, this is my

1690
01:33:38,215 --> 01:33:42,815
Speaker 5: responsibility to tell you that you may need to investigate this,

1691
01:33:43,095 --> 01:33:46,015
Speaker 5: right because in the same way that if you were

1692
01:33:46,055 --> 01:33:48,335
Speaker 5: to install a wood burning fire into your house you

1693
01:33:48,375 --> 01:33:52,535
Speaker 5: would need a building consent. So effectively, you're installing a

1694
01:33:52,655 --> 01:33:55,735
Speaker 5: wood burning fire just you're going to use it for

1695
01:33:55,855 --> 01:33:58,575
Speaker 5: cooking and potentially for heating. I'm not saying it's not

1696
01:33:58,655 --> 01:34:00,935
Speaker 5: a good idea. I'm just saying you need to make

1697
01:34:01,015 --> 01:34:03,895
Speaker 5: sure that you're doing it correctly, and more importantly, the

1698
01:34:04,015 --> 01:34:07,215
Speaker 5: most important thing is you're doing it safely. But if

1699
01:34:07,255 --> 01:34:09,335
Speaker 5: you think about, you know, wood burning fires that have

1700
01:34:09,535 --> 01:34:11,735
Speaker 5: like an opening door, you'll often find that on the

1701
01:34:11,815 --> 01:34:14,615
Speaker 5: inside of that door there's a seal which looks a

1702
01:34:14,655 --> 01:34:18,855
Speaker 5: little bit like a Hessian cord. That might that would

1703
01:34:18,975 --> 01:34:20,375
Speaker 5: be the sort of thing that you might be able

1704
01:34:20,415 --> 01:34:24,255
Speaker 5: to seal it with. Possibly there's some specialists who still

1705
01:34:24,335 --> 01:34:28,415
Speaker 5: repair and maintain those old sorts of fireplaces. But you know,

1706
01:34:28,935 --> 01:34:34,295
Speaker 5: please don't underestimate the potential for disaster of putting a

1707
01:34:34,375 --> 01:34:36,775
Speaker 5: wood burning fire in place. I know we've had them

1708
01:34:36,815 --> 01:34:39,735
Speaker 5: for you know, potentially hundreds of years, and people will

1709
01:34:39,735 --> 01:34:41,935
Speaker 5: be going, don't worry about it, it'll be fine, But

1710
01:34:42,855 --> 01:34:45,695
Speaker 5: you are lighting a fire inside your house. I don't

1711
01:34:45,695 --> 01:34:47,095
Speaker 5: want to see your house burned down.

1712
01:34:47,935 --> 01:34:49,215
Speaker 19: I've thanks for that, Peter.

1713
01:34:50,775 --> 01:34:55,575
Speaker 23: I've got all that make sure that if I was

1714
01:34:55,655 --> 01:34:58,135
Speaker 23: to install it, basically, I've got to put this thing

1715
01:34:58,175 --> 01:34:59,415
Speaker 23: together and make sure.

1716
01:34:59,295 --> 01:34:59,975
Speaker 19: It doesn't leave.

1717
01:35:00,975 --> 01:35:02,175
Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't want it.

1718
01:35:02,855 --> 01:35:05,095
Speaker 19: I don't want to put the smoke through the house, right.

1719
01:35:05,615 --> 01:35:08,695
Speaker 5: And how will you flew it? What's the process there.

1720
01:35:10,095 --> 01:35:14,255
Speaker 23: Well, I've I've got that sorted as well to go

1721
01:35:14,375 --> 01:35:15,695
Speaker 23: into details.

1722
01:35:15,255 --> 01:35:16,895
Speaker 12: But I've got that.

1723
01:35:19,135 --> 01:35:21,495
Speaker 5: Was getting better and awesome.

1724
01:35:22,175 --> 01:35:23,935
Speaker 19: You know, if I can seal it.

1725
01:35:24,095 --> 01:35:27,575
Speaker 23: That's my main thing is I don't want smoke leaking.

1726
01:35:29,015 --> 01:35:29,695
Speaker 5: Yeah, fair enough.

1727
01:35:29,935 --> 01:35:33,175
Speaker 19: All I want to do is is there a product?

1728
01:35:33,815 --> 01:35:36,495
Speaker 5: I think there is and I would probably go to

1729
01:35:37,095 --> 01:35:39,695
Speaker 5: you know, like a fireplace installer or somewhere like that

1730
01:35:39,855 --> 01:35:42,855
Speaker 5: and get some advice from them. All the very best.

1731
01:35:42,895 --> 01:35:47,575
Speaker 5: You make good luck with that, right. They need to

1732
01:35:47,655 --> 01:35:49,895
Speaker 5: have a little break now, a little sit down for

1733
01:35:49,975 --> 01:35:52,295
Speaker 5: a moment. We'll come back after the.

1734
01:35:52,335 --> 01:35:55,895
Speaker 1: Break doing the house sorting the guard and asked Pete

1735
01:35:55,935 --> 01:35:59,295

1736

1755
01:37:10,455 --> 01:37:12,495
Speaker 5: this morning, so quick. A couple of calls before we're

1756
01:37:12,535 --> 01:37:15,015
Speaker 5: into the garden with red clim pass. Richard, Good morning,

1757
01:37:16,175 --> 01:37:18,215
Speaker 5: Yeah high pe here you going good? Thanks Richard?

1758
01:37:19,415 --> 01:37:22,775
Speaker 22: Yeah, hey, look, my wife and I wanting to replace

1759
01:37:22,855 --> 01:37:26,695
Speaker 22: the window in our home. The exterior cletting is hearty texts.

1760
01:37:27,495 --> 01:37:30,255
Speaker 22: I'm just wondering if there's any issues around this, particularly

1761
01:37:30,295 --> 01:37:33,855
Speaker 22: with water tightness, would plastering be the right way to go?

1762
01:37:34,175 --> 01:37:37,135
Speaker 22: And if so, how would we know if the plastering

1763
01:37:37,215 --> 01:37:38,415
Speaker 22: job is done properly?

1764
01:37:40,655 --> 01:37:43,415
Speaker 5: Do you know whether the hardy text is direct direct

1765
01:37:43,535 --> 01:37:45,095
Speaker 5: fixed to the framing.

1766
01:37:46,415 --> 01:37:47,735
Speaker 11: Yeah, yeah, it is.

1767
01:37:48,375 --> 01:37:51,655
Speaker 5: Yeah, Okay. Is there an existing head flashing that actually

1768
01:37:51,775 --> 01:37:53,415
Speaker 5: tucks up behind the hardy.

1769
01:37:53,215 --> 01:37:55,775
Speaker 22: Text I'm really not sure about.

1770
01:37:55,815 --> 01:38:00,015
Speaker 5: Okay, look in its existing aluminium joinery that you're going

1771
01:38:00,055 --> 01:38:05,535
Speaker 5: to get replaced. Yes, yeah, okay, Look, I think it's

1772
01:38:05,935 --> 01:38:09,735
Speaker 5: to some It comes down to the I guess, the

1773
01:38:09,815 --> 01:38:12,815
Speaker 5: professionalism and the experience of the person who is going

1774
01:38:12,855 --> 01:38:16,535
Speaker 5: to install the window. If the window is not leaking now,

1775
01:38:17,535 --> 01:38:22,535
Speaker 5: then putting in a new window shouldn't cause any leaks either,

1776
01:38:23,095 --> 01:38:26,415
Speaker 5: And chances are the way in which it's been sealed

1777
01:38:26,495 --> 01:38:29,375
Speaker 5: is simply that the top of the extrusion tucks underneath

1778
01:38:29,415 --> 01:38:32,975
Speaker 5: the flashing. It's pressed hard back against the building and

1779
01:38:33,055 --> 01:38:36,855
Speaker 5: a bead of sealant around it, and the lower extrusion

1780
01:38:37,055 --> 01:38:40,375
Speaker 5: covers the cladding enough to mean that it doesn't leak there.

1781
01:38:40,935 --> 01:38:44,895
Speaker 5: I'd probably add some building wrap around the opening when

1782
01:38:44,935 --> 01:38:49,975
Speaker 5: you've taken the old existing window out, and just making

1783
01:38:50,055 --> 01:38:52,655
Speaker 5: sure that that head flashing is still going to work. Okay,

1784
01:38:52,895 --> 01:38:55,935
Speaker 5: but generally it shouldn't be a problem. It also offers

1785
01:38:56,015 --> 01:38:58,415
Speaker 5: up you know, there's probably opportunities to look at you PVC.

1786
01:38:58,615 --> 01:39:00,415
Speaker 5: For example, if you wanted to go down that path

1787
01:39:00,455 --> 01:39:00,815
Speaker 5: as well.

1788
01:39:02,375 --> 01:39:03,375
Speaker 22: Great, thank you very much.

1789
01:39:03,455 --> 01:39:09,135
Speaker 5: Okay, all the best bother thing, Barry Greetings.

1790
01:39:09,695 --> 01:39:10,895
Speaker 12: Yeah, greetings, Peter, how are you.

1791
01:39:11,495 --> 01:39:12,655
Speaker 23: I'm just wondering.

1792
01:39:12,695 --> 01:39:15,415
Speaker 12: I've got some white stuff appeared on the outside of

1793
01:39:15,495 --> 01:39:18,255
Speaker 12: my bricks, yes, in the house, and I'm just wondering

1794
01:39:18,295 --> 01:39:18,895
Speaker 12: how do I get.

1795
01:39:18,855 --> 01:39:19,095
Speaker 7: Rid of it.

1796
01:39:19,815 --> 01:39:23,455
Speaker 5: It's efflorescence, which is kind of the salt that's often

1797
01:39:23,535 --> 01:39:26,495
Speaker 5: in masonry products being drawn to the surface with moisture.

1798
01:39:27,535 --> 01:39:30,175
Speaker 5: There are some proprietary cleaners, so if you just search

1799
01:39:30,295 --> 01:39:35,615
Speaker 5: for efflorescence cleaner or remover, there'll be It's often an

1800
01:39:35,655 --> 01:39:39,975
Speaker 5: acidic type product, so Spirit of Salts, which is hydrochloric acid,

1801
01:39:40,175 --> 01:39:42,655
Speaker 5: is one of the ones that's used. Every time I

1802
01:39:42,775 --> 01:39:45,255
Speaker 5: mention it, someone else will say, don't use that. There's

1803
01:39:45,295 --> 01:39:48,335
Speaker 5: some softer products. But if you just search for efferescence

1804
01:39:48,495 --> 01:39:51,455
Speaker 5: remover or cleaner, you'll find some stuff there and just

1805
01:39:51,575 --> 01:39:53,935
Speaker 5: apply it as per the instruction and that'll knock it off.

1806
01:39:54,535 --> 01:39:56,215
Speaker 12: Okay, So that it would just be from a hardware

1807
01:39:56,215 --> 01:39:57,215
Speaker 12: shop or something anywhere.

1808
01:39:57,375 --> 01:40:01,095
Speaker 5: Yep, you'll find them around. Just just apply a little bit,

1809
01:40:01,175 --> 01:40:02,735
Speaker 5: test it and then go from there.

1810
01:40:03,495 --> 01:40:04,455
Speaker 12: Thank you very much all of this.

1811
01:40:04,735 --> 01:40:08,855
Speaker 5: Okay, take care this Uh yeah, efforescence is what it's called.

1812
01:40:09,295 --> 01:40:13,375
Speaker 5: Your talk said, be last Cora of the morning. Let

1813
01:40:13,415 --> 01:40:16,175
Speaker 5: me see how I'm just going to get this. Paul, Greetings,

1814
01:40:17,455 --> 01:40:18,095
Speaker 5: good morning.

1815
01:40:19,055 --> 01:40:23,175
Speaker 7: I was just wondering in your experience, can you successfully

1816
01:40:23,375 --> 01:40:27,935
Speaker 7: treat aura in external weather boards by injecting the material

1817
01:40:27,975 --> 01:40:32,575
Speaker 7: into the flight holes or do you end up replacing

1818
01:40:32,615 --> 01:40:33,095
Speaker 7: the boards.

1819
01:40:35,415 --> 01:40:37,295
Speaker 5: I mean, that's a great question for d who's coming

1820
01:40:37,335 --> 01:40:41,055
Speaker 5: along next. Yeah, yeah, I think so. I'm sure he

1821
01:40:41,135 --> 01:40:42,975
Speaker 5: will then go on to say, now is not the

1822
01:40:43,055 --> 01:40:45,895
Speaker 5: time of year to do it. So typically bora are

1823
01:40:45,975 --> 01:40:48,735
Speaker 5: on the wing, he's lying everywhere.

1824
01:40:49,535 --> 01:40:53,655
Speaker 7: Oh really, Yeah, I came spraying, spraying them as they

1825
01:40:54,055 --> 01:40:56,735
Speaker 7: come out, and I've got about one hundred dead ones,

1826
01:40:57,735 --> 01:41:02,615
Speaker 7: black spots of these dead bora. But I know that

1827
01:41:02,695 --> 01:41:05,095
Speaker 7: that's not going to stop the ones that are inside

1828
01:41:05,695 --> 01:41:07,295
Speaker 7: or the they fly back in.

1829
01:41:07,495 --> 01:41:07,695
Speaker 4: Yeah.

1830
01:41:09,415 --> 01:41:13,855
Speaker 5: Yes, so typically it's September October. But there's no reason

1831
01:41:13,935 --> 01:41:19,975
Speaker 5: that you wouldn't try it now. If they're obviously there,

1832
01:41:20,255 --> 01:41:22,975
Speaker 5: you'd try it. Look, I think at a certain point,

1833
01:41:24,215 --> 01:41:27,535
Speaker 5: like you could, you could prevent further infestation by treating it.

1834
01:41:28,095 --> 01:41:32,095
Speaker 5: If the board's already quite decayed because of borer. Then

1835
01:41:32,495 --> 01:41:34,855
Speaker 5: stopping the borer the damage has been done, in which

1836
01:41:34,935 --> 01:41:38,735
Speaker 5: case you're replacing those boards, but certainly applying a treatment

1837
01:41:38,855 --> 01:41:41,095
Speaker 5: to it will will help control that.

1838
01:41:41,455 --> 01:41:44,495
Speaker 24: Peter. If they're coming out now, you can spread them. Okay,

1839
01:41:45,375 --> 01:41:46,855
Speaker 24: you go, yeah, yeah, of course I am.

1840
01:41:47,535 --> 01:41:48,495
Speaker 7: You know, you know what I do.

1841
01:41:48,655 --> 01:41:50,935
Speaker 24: I just immediately get into just now. But if there

1842
01:41:51,015 --> 01:41:53,655
Speaker 24: is stuff blowing out you, I would suggest you spread

1843
01:41:53,775 --> 01:41:56,415
Speaker 24: now if that's the case. But it's very unusual. It's're

1844
01:41:56,455 --> 01:41:59,135
Speaker 24: usually in springtime, right, you know oco November.

1845
01:41:59,255 --> 01:42:02,855
Speaker 7: That's flying, that's flying everywhere, like little flying ads, little

1846
01:42:02,855 --> 01:42:03,855
Speaker 7: buggers of.

1847
01:42:03,975 --> 01:42:06,695
Speaker 24: Flying and started thing. Hang on, that might be totally

1848
01:42:06,775 --> 01:42:07,295
Speaker 24: different thing.

1849
01:42:08,095 --> 01:42:12,295
Speaker 5: Are we mixing up our insects? Yes, it might not

1850
01:42:12,415 --> 01:42:15,015
Speaker 5: be borer. You might have borer, but what you're seeing

1851
01:42:15,135 --> 01:42:16,255
Speaker 5: right now isn't borer.

1852
01:42:16,735 --> 01:42:20,095
Speaker 24: Now, these might be critics that take that take care

1853
01:42:20,175 --> 01:42:22,335
Speaker 24: of the borer's holes and say, oh I can live

1854
01:42:22,375 --> 01:42:22,655
Speaker 24: in here.

1855
01:42:23,895 --> 01:42:24,135
Speaker 15: Ah.

1856
01:42:27,775 --> 01:42:31,135
Speaker 5: It's a perfect segue between the two parts of the show.

1857
01:42:31,975 --> 01:42:35,935
Speaker 5: There you go, so yeah, you can't. Like in terms

1858
01:42:35,935 --> 01:42:38,575
Speaker 5: of treating the exterior of a house for bora you

1859
01:42:38,695 --> 01:42:42,415
Speaker 5: would go through and do would you say, like a

1860
01:42:42,495 --> 01:42:46,935
Speaker 5: proreeth and spray everywhere across the exterior rather than trying

1861
01:42:46,975 --> 01:42:48,815
Speaker 5: to do individual.

1862
01:42:50,735 --> 01:42:51,695
Speaker 7: Injectable stuff.

1863
01:42:52,455 --> 01:42:52,615
Speaker 8: Yeah.

1864
01:42:52,655 --> 01:42:54,615
Speaker 24: Well, if you can get some of that stuff, I

1865
01:42:54,655 --> 01:42:56,535
Speaker 24: would go. I would go to Safe Works and get

1866
01:42:56,615 --> 01:42:59,015
Speaker 24: some of that stuff over the top. And what I

1867
01:42:59,095 --> 01:43:01,935
Speaker 24: would do then is because it's now, it's getting you know,

1868
01:43:02,055 --> 01:43:05,255
Speaker 24: it's summer as well summer, what you may do is

1869
01:43:05,335 --> 01:43:07,495
Speaker 24: you might want to then so you don't get too

1870
01:43:07,575 --> 01:43:10,335
Speaker 24: much sunlight on where you spray, which means that your

1871
01:43:10,415 --> 01:43:13,135
Speaker 24: material will last longer when they come out.

1872
01:43:15,015 --> 01:43:16,695
Speaker 7: Great, okay, I'll give that again.

1873
