@Dame__Jane To be fair 1980’s to 2000’s Ahuriri was an area that no-one wanted to live. It had tanneries, abbatoirs, oil tanks and a fish factory within a fee hundred metres of this house

@publicaddress These figures are old, before the new updates.

Some guy told Chris Penk that new homes are too warm in winter, so he wants to roll back widely-supported insulation standards. The state of it. rnz.co.nz/news/national/…
English
@MrHilariouskiwi @Kiwimum55 These figures are not the new H1 insulation requirements for NZ, they are the old values
English
Can anyone seriously believe what’s going on?Government considers rolling back insulation standards rnz.co.nz/news/national/…
English
@MrHilariouskiwi @NapierinFrame Those numbers are out of date ; the new requirements ( which they are looking to reverse ) are much higher, roofs are currently required to be R6.6
English
What utter heartless, mindless bullshit are these fools up to now?!
National are slaves to slumlords!

@OurGovtSuck @SimonRAnderson She has already paid reparations to the stores
English
@SimonRAnderson No reparations for the stolen stuff she didn’t return then.At least a conviction is better than discharged and no conviction.

Judge June Jelas delivers the verdict at Auckland District Court:
Former Green party MP Golriz Ghahraman CONVICTED and fined $1,600 + $260 court costs.

Re the new #ThreeStrikes law what I’d like but am too lazy to do is some #dataviz with how many people have x number of the convictions.
How many people have 1-5, 5-10, etc of the convictions of the list.
But also how many convictions the people in each category have in total

@InfovoreMatt I think it is a town, in the same way Havelock North is. It was designed not to need to connect to Hastings ( hence the schools, shopping centre etc )
English
Its a suburb.
I'm begging people in Auckland and Wellington to get people in the provinces to skim read these articles

@mattdwen Did the pace car win, surely it led the most laps?

@AlanWilkinsonNZ @MarkGraham_Akl @dbseymour You are mixing 2 completely separate things; yes toilet roll heights are set for public Accessible WC’s ( you might appreciate those rules if you ever have a disability where you need to use a wheelchair ) under the Building Code, but colours are set under the District Plan (RMA)
English
@MarkGraham_Akl @ajecaldwell @dbseymour Yes, toilet roll height specified for buildings with a public toilet - all commercial I guess. Colours are specified for our local "historic Precinct" in which nearly all buildings in the main street are no older than I am. Plenty more buteaucratic lunacy where that comes from.
English
Removing the consent process and revised RMA is unbelievably stupid. Why would companies want to insure new builds with no checks on their quality? I have no idea what @dbseymour has been smoking but it has led to utter lunacy. nzherald.co.nz/nz/election-20…
English
@MarkGraham_Akl @dbseymour Depends what you mean by ‘code’ ; the RMA has nothing to do with the Building Code, only to do with planning matters.
English
@ajecaldwell @dbseymour No-just the process that checks that homes are designed to code and inspects them to ensure they’re being built to code. And you’re ok with that?

@RobSuisted The world is full of free images, why would he pay? He will probably use it anyway without paying.

Architecture student seeking one of my remote photos for his thesis; "sure, we do a nominal rate to help students, just to cover my admin", a few coffees worth. "Sorry too much". As a fellow creative he's lining up for a career of hearing same. Wonder if he'll do nominal rates?

@Lesleyattalk It’s a weird experience alright, but you will know when you find the right one

@Lesleyattalk @yvonnemax EIT library will likely be closed for the rest of the year, we are being told.
English
@yvonnemax Taradale would be perfect in the interim the library’s will be fine thanks. I just can’t find any information on when EIT will be open. All the interweb info says ‘Open’ 🤦♀️
English
I’ve been looking for cheap (free) office space I can pop in and out of. The local library is close but apparently it can ‘get noisy in the school holidays’ 🤣 and the EIT library, which would be perfect because…coffee, is closed due to flooding :-( Will keep looking

And plunged into darkness again. Second power cut today. The first one was for several hours. PS it is very dark outside
