Well, that woke me up...

Sounds like a job for jellywrestler. He could pull that stunt like a boss.

Fully appreciate that mate. But our apartment is 100% ok after the shake. It's the cunting car park building that's the problem. And it was fucked (and closed for over a year) after the Seddon quakes. It's been repaired on the cheap, and is still fucked. It's even more fucked now. WCC needs to grow some fucking balls, and tear the cunt down asamutherfucking p.

As for not even allowing us five mins to get back into our place to grab personal items...that sucks balls too. That's not an evacuation...it's eviction.

And if you do go... remember to go ATTGATT. Beats the shit out of any hard hat and hi-viz jacket an inspector might wear.

I've been a refugee in my own city since Thursday. Left home for work, haven't been allowed back in since. Not even for five mins to grab some personal stuff and clothing. If I meet the cunt that signed off on that cunting car park after the Seddon quakes, I'm gonna kick him in the fucking balls.

i see on the news tonight the rugby people are next to that molesworth building and have been evacuated too, but the land sar people escorted someback to get some trophies, why can't they help you lot out, say a ten minute grab??? or a cherry picker up from the road?
offer for house still stands pete, it's sitting doing nout at the moment, but is in gut valley...

I dont think the $5000 excess applies to the actual house but driveways, paths, fences etc. Looks like many Kaikoura driveways have come off a lot worse than ChCh ones though and for those unable to pay the excess they will just replace with a shingle drive.

To the best of my knowledge it applies to all EQC claims - incl any house claims. The affordable 1% excess is gone.

The small stuff cost so much in ChCh that this is the govt's way of cutting the costs to EQC.

[Crasherfromwayback]

martial law, bitch. you'd best comply, citizen. or you'll be asked to comply again!

.

There's the rub...it's not mate. It's not been red zoned like CH CH. Yet.

Just checked my current AMI policy and the excess is $400 but for anything not covered by the Earthquake Commission its $5000 eg driveways fences etc. What is worse than the $5000 excess though is the fact all policies are no longer full replacement but fixed price and if you have got that wrong you may not be able to afford a rebuild. I am actually insured myself for less than the cost of a full rebuild but if the worst happened I would get a nice mobile home or caravan with the money which would be more robust to shaking than a permanent material place.

Correct, pretty much all the insurance companies cranked the excess for non-eqc covered items to $5k, after they ended up replacing entire driveways that were 40 years old because they had 1 new crack in them beside the 100 existing ones.

EQC have also changed their excess I think, http://www.eqc.govt.nz/get-help-now/...re-covered-for

Excess

An excess is the amount you have to contribute towards a claim that is accepted by EQC. The amount of the excess is deducted from the amount of your claim.

Your dwelling, or your dwelling and personal property If your claim is for $20,000 or less, EQC will deduct an excess of $200 and pay the rest. If your claim is for more than $20,000, EQC will pay 99% of it, deducting an excess of 1%.

Cheers mate. Very kind.

Eldest daughter is home spewin today and for some reason she had the news on. Some fulla with a familiar name and a similar predicament to yourself came on, and once I got past the lack of foul language, I figured it must have been your good self. About half way through your voices faded out and this started playing in my head... I hit pause on the TV and let it play

Is it even legal for the insurance companies to change the terms and conditions of the agreement between themselves and the consumer (you) during the policy term without your consent?

Hahaha. Nice. I kinda figured, if I used my day to day language, no cunt would hear a single thing due to the beeps.

They can do anything they want. There is currently an embargo on any new house or home and contents insurance policies being issued. I'm right in the due diligence phase of buying a house. Luckily our vendors have agreed to an extension.


There's been no public notification of this embargo which extends from Masterton to Christchurch.

[pritch]

Yeah inland road makes sense, hopefully someone in govt has foresight to blast the hell out of the tips of those hills on coastal road and build a tourist and truck friendly double lane super expressway along the coast.

Fuck no. That's my favourite stretch of SH1 you are suggesting is destroyed.

Mike Hosking (instant expert on everything) made a plea last night for the coastal route to be replaced by a new inland route Marlbourough to Canterbury. Minister for Everything Steven Joyce was saying this morning that the proposed inland route would involve high altitudes and would consequently be closed too frequently due to snow.

An early indication that they are looking at repair rather than replace?
