Good for you to state what you may have
Surely you aren't that punch drunk to remember what you send in PMsyou're the one who stated which areas are flood prone & some properties have issues with foundations, and the tornados well again you seem to forget what you write quite easily....the area you said was reasonable to look at and my response was having seen of recent years it seemed to be turning into a bit of a tornado alley, you rebuttal was the whole coast was prone.
Likewise with the Grey Barber you're the one who said about areas to look at and my response was regarding the said wind and you went on to add the place where I'd looked at a couple of properties also got a taste of it too
Funny you didn't mention anything regarding a house along with that link to that derelict dump and the E series Falcon stockcar; and as I reminded you in my reply I was meaning a house with a decent garage as current I'm well sick of wrestling bloody bikes up steps into a historic building/sleepout.
It was your assumption of what sort of business that sent you down that path of that sort of garage
Never implied I know more than what the locals do but having connections as far south as Fox Glacier & north Westport and places in between & beyond some of which haved lived and worked (now retired) in these places; And personally having frequented the place regularly since the 80s for all manner of pursuits & business I've got a fairly good gauge on how things tick![]()
Glad you've got a memory though there wasn't anything hilarious about it apart from your denial of what you're upto, though the admission you put forth stupidly in a rep months earlier leaves the door open for something to happen. And some things are best served cold

Is it? Has it been successfully implemented passed any form of Proof of Concept test? And to what end? Is it Ozone reduction? Is it rain control? Is it population control? Or is it you've got no clue and are grasping at straws?
It's almost like they are continually planning on ways to win any potential conflict... Funny that... Maybe it's a conspiracy...

Your 1st PM
personally I would avoid Runanga Dunollie Taylorville Stillwater
Depending on where you intend to work if you do anyway.
if you go south of greymouth its better
if you are after value for money kaiata and Dobson
Kaiata has areas which flood and some with foundation issues.
It gets dryer the further north you go up the grey river ikamatua is dry 1700ml
if you choose between a place between hokitika and greymouth it leaves your options open.
My reply
Not really keen on anywhere up along the banks of the Grey.....in years gone by have had friends who have lived up near Totara flat and others who lived at Ikamatua too who then shifted to Blackball and i know peeps who have holiday batches there too.
Kaiata & Dobson would get pounded by the barber and I'm not keen of the sound of possible flood issues either
South of Greymouth doesn't really appeal as of recent it seems to be turning into tornado alley and anything further south toward Hokitika is a bit exposed also.
Fortunate enough to not have to worry about working for anyone any more hence the desire to get a acorn business underway.....just something to keep things active and a bit of coin in the pocket to play with.
If the idea I'm playing with works out I'd be mobile a lot of the time anyhow but would be covering from up near Karamea through to as far south as Bruce Bay and possibly the odd hop back over the hill around the Canterbury high country
Your response Though reading it again I see you did mention "no house" I was pretty much in shock at the hole you considered a garage
err Runanga gets the barber more than Dobson does Kaiata only gets the barber once a year
Only a few small parts of Kaiata get flooded
Plenty of places south of Grey are not anywhere near sea or floods
Tornados can happen anywhere in west side of NZ.
but don't go past a few KMs inland
anyway her is something you might have missed if you are intersted in a garage. no house never seen the inside of it comes with free holden
http://www.gregdalyrealestate.co.nz/...laketown--7805
if its the middle you want of Hasst to Karamea that might be more Hokitka?
And where I left it
Not really keen on Hokitika....there's a couple of places a few kms out from the town that aren't too bad. But I prefer up around Greymouth for accessibility to to a few area for recreational pursuits etc.
that old Blaketown garage needs bowling over lol....I was meaning a decent garage at the home property as at present I have to deal with working in a sleepout (actually an old local library...historic building) the only bonus is that it has an open fire....but wrestling bikes thru a single doorway & up steps if a bloody nuisance.
Wherever I end up over there it'll do what's needed whether it be a satellite town etc but definitely wont be out in the boonies. Basically over the tabletop flatness over here and the constant drone of SH1
I took the liberty of adding the ones you missed.Originally Posted by T.W.R
Right What part of your extensive local knowledge leads you to believe that Kaiata and Dobson get pounded by the barber?
Kaiata only gets it 2 days a year at most that i have ever seen, Dobson only sees it as it goes past generally as well.
Depending on the day the barber often even misses Taylorville now and goes over the hill to coal creek then along the river to GM and often out to Runanga.
The barber itself in GM effects the areas close to the river out to about the fountain. Plus obviously areas of Blaketown and Cobden
What part of your extensive local knowledge makes you believe that south of Greymouth area is any sort of Tornado alley?
Your top pick Runanga/Dunollie misses most of the Winter Sun due to it orientation and hills on either side, this is especially true for those against the Spring Creek side.
It also also losses the summer sun early to boot. Runanga in case you missed the rather obvious clues is surrounded by fault lines and is basically built on a sea of bottomless muck.
AS it consists of deep clay muck soil run off from the hills overtop of a ancient river that where the grey river used to run before it cut through into greymouth.
If you are well resourced and cash funded and such a buyer of means, why would you be looking at some of the cheapest areas of the Coast?
I should note that the area where you mentioned previously you were looking at was actually exposed quite often to the barber.
Also areas in Runanga and Dunollie and nearby Coal Creek also flood.
As for flooding of other areas i said areas of, which is true, often the advantage of local knowledge is actually knowing what bits do and what do not.
For instance If some ares along the banks of the grey flooded such as Dobson, Greymouth itself would already be under 30 ft of water.
Even in some areas the LIMs are next to useless and highly inaccurate.
I never asked, as i had gave up on you already but i hope you have the Agent i was going to tell you to avoid because one is totally full of shit which most of the locals avoid and will say anything to get a sale.
So in summing up, Sorry i tried to help you, but don't worry it wont be a problem in the future.

expressing opinions on certain areas are just that opinions and far from what you originally posted in the Optimistic sellers thread the instigated the PMs though as per usual another expression of being an authority on yet another subject
There's a difference between a prevailing Northerly wind pattern and a localized wind that got a name for a reason by people who experienced it a long long time before you set foot on the earththe Grey Barber was due to it's path down the Grey Valley.
Did you fall off the earth over the last couple of years? seeing you so well versed in the region what part of it is considered Awatuna district mmm? remember it's only 10mins south of Greymouth to Kumara Junction (the north edge of Awatuna); And even though Arahura is closer to Hokitika it's been ripped up in the past.
And as a financially cashed up buyer why the hell would I want to put a huge chunk of coin into a single property when I can enjoy other aspects of an excess of said finances; I've been tied to shit in the past and this current crap hasn't improved my thoughts towards having a substantial liability the system can get it's hooks into.
I've looked at 5 properties in the last few weeks via a couple of trips over the hill and there's a few others further afield that spurred a bit of interest so unlike your thinking of confinement to certain areas it's only been the case of said properties creating interest worth investigating further nothing more and nothing concrete....the reality of the fact is if I wanted to I could cash everything up and head anywhere I wanted if I wished too but I'd rather follow through a couple of things I've been approached about doing in the past and enjoying what it offers up![]()
This is what is wrong with this place. ^^^
I posted what was said on the sellers thread?
As for the rest what are you smoking.
The barber is caused by a Katabatic wind which in case you missed it is the 100% opposite of a Foehn Wind. ie nor wester
The grey barber is named because it generally historically exits in Greymouth
Its call the barber as the cold would cut you .
Awatuna is not a district it a place name. The district its in is Westland. as all of of the coast south of the Taramakau river
One couple of highly localized tornadoes 10km apart is not a Tornado alley.
The two major tornados here were through blaketown and then on a path past the Harpin on the GM cicuit through to arround the council chambers
Like i said you know shit all about the West Coast and are too much of a idiot to listen to a local
After all how could someone who lives here possibly know about the place more than you![]()

No i am strutting around on all fours practically incontinent all right, you are just too stupid to notice.
I are just trying to figure out how i am going to break it to Durham Havill .The former Westland Mayor that still lives at Awatuna. That he was living a lie that whole time he was the Westland Mayor.
Not only that the one that followed him John Drylie lives in behind Awatuna as well.
Fuck knows how we are going to raise the cash to change all those signs that indicate when we enter the only three West Coast districts.
You might notice them at Arthurs pass and the Taramakau and Haast they say Westland District
On the other side of the Taramakau they say Grey District until you get to Punakaiki and Ikimatua where they change to Buller. They flip over again at Springs junction depending on what side of the river you are on just for a bit of fun, but what would i know.
The only thing that would be better is if you tried to dig up some survey map from the 1860s to try and prove you are correct and then i would get the change to point out that originally the West Coast was in two districts North of the Grey Nelson south of the Grey Canterbury.
You have uncovered the great conspiracy of all. The Great West Coast District swindle. Well done sir.
PS a Foehn wind is not a katabatic wind nor will it ever be one.

so easily hooked.....good boy do you want a pat on the head or another scrap for you to chase
But so sad having to name drop and even a nice wee spelling mistake for keeping the consistency....Iki-where try Ikamatua seeing you're so pedantic
Such a combative nature, just like a good wee Jack Russell drop one bone and on to the next....twice in one thread you're doing well, you must suffer from RSI amongst a few other things![]()
The expression of being civil was aired and to just to leave it there but nah you have to keep chewing like a dumb dog
And just for a wee set you straight about winds as you're spouting plenty

2nd paragraph should help you a bit
Actually getting a bit tired of playing games with you but at least it's been amusing to see the colours come out
