Tag o rama!

[BMWST?]

Hey all, I've just moved back to Welli after 4 years in exile in Hamilton. I'd love to jump into the Tag-O-Rama here but I'm a bit worried that I'd be re-doing old tags since you're up around 15000 odd posts. Is there a map of the tags so far? Would need a clue to get the current one too.

there are maps but they are about 300 tags out of date
Dont worry about retags they are bound to happen now and again after nearly 1500 tags

Well, seeing as no one else was will to grab this tag I thought it was a good excuse to blow some cobwebs out of the Triumph.

Collins Road, Tawa / Linden, where SH1 crosses over.

And the new one is:

AAHHH I have seen that place before .Bonus points for describing what the extra framing is for and what the architectural term for them is.

If its the same reason as the two other older churches I have seen, its to do with the foundation and height of the building (including steeples?) to support heavier roof framing where the foundations are on softer ground???

I think I know where this one is too.....mighht have to lead kelly and wee casper out on a tiki tour tonight

The term is "flying buttress" I think

buttress is correct flying butress is when the buttress is sorta on a upper level

Close ,the buttresses resists the weight/height of the roof trying to push the walls apart

edit,you may be right dave I think flying buttress is when they are sorta an open structure.The origianl butress were short stubby stone walls cos most of these structures were originally stone

True ... I remember that on a Time Team episode, and old baldrick also said that its used in places where foundations are not as firm as they should be....

So...wher the hell is it?
I SV'd the two churches I thought this was, wrong both accounts but I am sure its in the Hutt................

EDIT:

Locked and Loaded....second look on SV shows how bloody cunningly the flying Dutchman set up his shot to remove any trace of the footpath in front of the old church (which btw is next door to a mates place!)

[Eyegasm]

Coast Road Wainuiomata past Burden Ave

Reason you can not see the footpath is it is about 1 metre lower than the road.

Will get the new one up tonight.

I really should start taking random pictures so I have spares...
