Explain flashing pls?

We're looking at site welding head and jamb flashings in, not really sure tbh

I like how you're prepared to travel 13-15 hours for that thing

Cool concept though, and super weird vehicle, haven't seen one in yuurs

^ yeah it did but the whole thing was gunmetal so they didnt show up as well. think that thing's going on the market soon

cant believe you thought shipping containers have windows from factory russel, what a goose

 

yeah builder says he's getting a steady stream of weirdos coming for a look-see now. yus, not me! i'd be all 'what are you doing on my property'

 

Markku, pretty keen to hear more about this modding of old fire boxes..

maybe i should hold off this winter and use a candle instead, buy a bit more time to make sure i dont end up with something dumb just cos of the silly old rules

Just had a look on WCC website - freestanding fire consent is like $200, so might be worth just leaving it for now if you're not sure and sussing it down the track. 

Here's a list of "approved" fires with regard to environmental standards, includes those used for water heating.

And a breakdown of the standard itself including thermal efficiency requirements

I expect meeting the national standards for woodburners may be your issue if creating something yourself aye.

/get CCC and just chuck something in there

/fuck insurance

Duncan is a fucking good cunt. Smart as shit at architecture and design shits.

Get your good one as low as that white one up front.

Remember mine was the same, slammed to shit at back (cut celeste springs/0NBMPZ) then dumb barely captive cutties in the front with mean as street fin knockoffs and balloon tyres

Nah McNaughton

I think my mate from uni went and checked this out last week. His name is Duncan.

Assume there aren't many/any other container houses going up in Welly anyway, he mentioned happy valley but I A; don't know where that is and B: don't know where you are building so could not hundy confirm.

lol^


Nice bargain. God it looks crisp

Yeah will be sweet as shit in summer.

Fire issue a kernt due to council needing consent for wood burners? Spose they will need specifics as well so retro-fit = problematic.

As a building industry profesh I say just install one and don't even tell them.

You needa insulate under the slab though right? Hmm

Stops large scale thermal bridging between slab and ground, along with polythene. Aka stops heat leaking out of slab into ground via conduction.

Dbh or whatever that sack of gays is called thesedays states minimum beers to fuss ratio must exceed 20:1 at all times follow chch earthquake

Is legislation and you cannot argue with that.

Also, freely admitting that I have not really read what others have said in full detail...

I don't know your district plan - you may be sweet to build a certain sized whatever with no issues - the soakholes were an indicator to me, however, that this is not the case!

Forget producer statements.

The reason I mentioned anything is because councils will require a list of LBPs (designer (shed company, engineer (shed company), builder (???), plumber, drainlayer etc etc before (often on the actual application form) they even bother allowing you to book inspections, and those LBPs generally produce some form of producer statement prior to CCC as evidence of their work being to a certain standard. The example I am thinking of here is whomever is performing the building work and whether they are LBPs themselves.
 

If the building work isn't done by a LBP, then you may have issues booking inspections/getting shit done. If I'm barking up the wrong tree then I'm glad!

Question cletus - on what grounds do you consider a low car unsafe? Presumably there are reports, studies etc? Or is it simply driving it on our shitty ass roads?

I am curious as to the actual real-world repercussions of having a super low car, as in, is there sufficient recorded evidence where a number off accidents are attributable in some form to the suspension of a car being unsuitable. 

I get this uneasy feeling of a blanket rule which as you rightly stated is garbage.

If it comes across as me having a go, I just wanna say I'm definitely not, I've just always been curious.

height isnt the be all and end all...... He clearly states 20mm lower is on bumps and therefore would be a no go for cert.

The reason I said it, which in the context of this thread is quite obvious tbh, is that he is pursuing a certain style of which lowness is a huge part. He's made mention of shakotan before and of the fact he wants to go low. Couple that with the images he posted of guard gap I could fit my sizeable head (IRL not possible don't hold me to that) in made me think he was trolling a nigga, statement regarding legalities and bumps inclusive of trolling.

Boost some pics up. Been following this build silently with high hopes.

I'm calling bullshit, surely?

How high is that shiz

Are you doing this with someone who is licensed/do you have someone signing/issuing PS4 the actual building stz off?

Is early stages

Will divulge once shit kicks off.

How much does it cost to engage an architect for house type thing?

How much you got?

Differs wildly. Impossible to say - house size, detailing, finish level, whether it's managed by you or them, etc

We just picked up a job doing a container house, cept it's like 48725792379 of them all smashed together.

Will use all the great information delivered in this thread by wildly unqualified persons to ensure the job goes smoothly. JUST FORKLIFT IT BOL

Smaller tyres look rad, but fuck that front guard is distracting. Any plans to paint this thang?

lol dat construction industry

Everyone in it, from design through to finishing are useless fucks in this country.

Keen for pics

Cut in half. Get dane to punch each half in place, just paint a cop face on each one. Then bog up joins.

fuck yeah architecture

Chuck some pantyhose on them g

No idea, will ask the joinery dudes tomorrow and report back on gas cost/sealing stz/penis sizes etc

I'm not a QS but you shouldn't be insulting Mike's profession - those in glasshouses and all

 

Anywho - trying to be helpful to Manu, so he doesnt have a panic and think he needs double glazing.

Still keen to know what awning roof is made from, clear or shaded?

wut. Shit me, always thought you were. Project manager of some sort? Or frame dweeb, or am I thinking of ryanfels there?

Shit son, those building industry ID problems
