    Sure does.

    Quakes might have loosened the wall, but the main culprit seems to be water coming from the re-build site above us.

    The family have had this place for over 55 years now, and the water has only been a problem since that (expletive deleted) re-build started.

    yeah, it's the unexpected extra water that does the damage. Our worst was on Huntsbury when a water main above us broke.....

    Worst i've seen was in port - the stormwater drains which have been built over are big brick lined suckers. When some bricks drop out and partially block the channel - then it rains heavy - I've seen a whole backyard go and the hole went right under the house too.

    from what you describe i'd imagine it's going to get messy - insurance co Vs insurance co......

    It also involves two sets of neighbours, and being a landslip EQC and the council are probably going to want to stick their oars in too.

    Quite a nightmare

    Insurance wallah was supposed to come before lunch, now they say tomorrow.

    The garage is history, the wall and garden leaning against the house are stable (for now)

    This is the view from the back door - can't use the front
    Yeah turns out I haven't been eating THAT many Weetbix sorry. Certainly could have been worse and glad you're ok.
