bike tory posted:There were several other practices that contributed to the leaky building problems, but the older buildings with direct fixed cladding had other "features" that allowed airflow to address the issue of moisture build up. The tradeoff is poor thermal efficiency because the place isn't well sealed. Modern homes are pretty well sealed so the cavity is necessary. I mean it is possible for direct fixed cladding to allow for airflow without it getting into the building, and not allowing moisture to build up, rotting out the framing or back of the cladding. Direct fixed cladding is still a thing and allows for perfectly decent thermal efficient homes. But I believe literally every house should just be clad with vertical profile corrugated steel cladding, since all the fibre-cement poo poo from james hardie etc is obviously garbage with gently caress all actual durability.

Yeah worth remembering the abortion legalisation in NZ had a bunch of carve outs that mean that, among other things, some DHBs still dont offer abortion past 20 weeks. And even then it only passed by 7 votes.

The building consent Gib headache is interesting to me because I lodge a fair few building consents at work, but for the civil side which is nowhere near as stringent about brand as the actual house component. Plasterboard and bracing must differ a lot from brand to brand (so it sounds, anyway) but nobody is asking me to change my design specifically to say these manholes and catchpits must be Hynds brand or whatever. On the other hand, Fletcher loving everything up is also in line with my experience. Everyone outside of their land dev team is worse than useless.

Personally I think we need to focus on the real scandal of the moment: the Earnest Adams slices have been discontinued. https://thespinoff.co.nz/food/22-06-2022/rip-ernest-adams-the-nations-slice Incredibly hosed up imo.

quote:“I’m of a generation that worked really hard to avoid having to do that sort of thing. I’m in my early 60s, we grew up after the feminists with the ‘girls can choose to do anything’ thing. And that’s one of the choices I’ve made: to not be a baker.” She said, while being interviewed about making her husbands lunch every day for 20 years. quote:She shudders as she recounts recently buying Countdown bakery muffins and banana bread. “It doesn’t last well in the tin, it goes off within a couple of days and it also doesn’t freeze well. But the Ernest Adams fruit loaf, well, that would last in your tin for weeks.” Tin? Freezer? Bet she's been taking the credit this whole time too! Old mate probably asked one day "Dear, what happened to that lovely slice you used to make and stick in me smoko tin every day?".

She didn't just vote against the bill either. She supported all of the bonkers amendments that would have made abortion more difficult/illegal than it was. That includes Ngaro's abortion investigation squad, Ngaro/Hipango's family member veto, and Loheni's amendment to make it illegal to abort a viable fetus even if the women's life is in danger.

Plasterboard as a structural component to resist lateral loads is both cheap and efficient. It's just a shame one company has a monopoly over it There is a standard test used to determine the capacity of a sheet of plasterboard/ply/msf/fiber cement and any of these can be used for bracing, why no one has done this for other brands of plasterboard I don't know.

Yeah fair enough, load bearing drywall is funny as a concept since it won't bear a load even if it does provide bracing

That and no matter how often you try and explain, you can't get people to grasp that the Braceline stuff is a different product to basic plasterboard. It's stronger and heavier, glass fibre reinforced and is attached with specific fastening schedules and possibly altered stud layouts when you use their metal angle fixings. It's a whole system, and it's really strong in the directions it's being asked to work in.
