    Wellington: Master Builders?

    Want to ask here first, on the premise that riding a bike makes you more trustworthy than the next man.

    Basicaly I need someone to quote for a rip and replace of a deck. It's a fairly big job, involving re-roofing and work over 4m off the ground.

    Please PM me if you can help.

    Location is Whitby,

    I think the BIA, the Councils and a good old dose of the time honoured kiwi "she'll me right mate" are the cowboys. Immigrants do what they're told. How come my $2000 tent is more waterproof than my house?

    This is a Tui advert, right???

    Just wait for a few years and we will see concrete slabs falling apart because there is NO REINFORCING STEEL in the slab.

    I shit you NOT.

    Even worse. With the slab intact you can replace the structure on top of it. If the slab is fuc*ed, then you go back to bare ground...

    I was preaching the word of "untreated timber is shit" back in the mid 90's.

    Does that explain an earth worm in the timber on the 3rd floor of my house?
