Hi guys, I've been making cabinetry and such from plywood as a hobby and am looking to move into furniture making now, but struggling to source timber (in Auckland) other than pine. Would love to see where I can find walnuts, oaks, ash, etc, even pacific rimu. Thanks heaps for your help!
I am trying to replace this toilet seat with a soft close one.
The fastening on the bottom are not coming off. the one on the left continuously spins without miving down the thread, the one on the right is stuck and will only do a 1/4 turn twist.
I cant twist it off with pliers as the ends knock the porcelain and prevent rotation.
Any ideas on how to get this thing off?
Has anyone dealt with this please? When i reset on the breaker, it will work for a few hours then do a 14 blink - pause - 14 blink
Hiya, i have this self-inflated mattress that have a hard time inflating itself. So i still want to blow it up with a pump of some sort. The problem is, the mattress has this butterfly valve that cannot be taken off.
So im thinking to create an adapter from the valve to an opening that can actually be blown by a pump?
Looking at the photos (there are 2 of them) do you have any ideas? it has this bumps that makes it a bit difficult. Im thinking to use a hose and probably shoot it with a heat gun so it will follow the shape the valve. But im open to other suggestions.
Thanks in advance.
Hi all. I spent Easter making a shed.
Now I need cladding.
Anyone know where to buy corrugated iron for cladding?
I ideally need karaka colour, from west Auckland and customs length and a good price.
I need 10 sheets at 3.55m long.
Thanks
Is there any reason why you can’t seal new gib and do the first coat before it goes up? Does it make it harder to work with? I hate painting above my head and I figure pre painting is a way to get into the corners and do the hard bits before it goes up. Painting will still be needed afterwards but it should just be a smaller amount of seal and paint on the plastered bits before the final coat?
Am I missing something?
We’re looking to renovate our house and need to strengthen the timber foundation.
Does anyone have recommendations for a repiling company in Wellington that has their own hydraulic jacks (for lifting the house)?
We’ve spoken to a couple of smaller companies as recommended from friends, but they said they would need to hire equipment from The Foundation Company, who seem quite busy at the moment.
Just wondering if it’s worth waiting, or if anyone knows of other companies that can handle the lifting themselves? Thanks all in advance
Hi all, just after a bit of advice. im wanting to build a 30m2 garage in invercargill. Where I can fit it on the section it will run parallel to the road side boundary.
I understand you must be a minimum of 1m of the boundary but a couple builders ive talked to have said that rule only applies to boundaries where there are neighboring properties and so I can be closer than 1m to the road side boundary.
but I cant find anything online to suggest this is true and before I commit to having someone build it for me I want to make sure everything is correct.
much appreciated 😊
Looking for a simple smith machine to put in the garage to try and get some exercise (bench press, squats, pull ups, lat pull downs), even 15 minutes here and there. Anyone used any of the below and have any product advice? this is about the price point im looking at.
Putting some simple rubber mats underneath too, garage already has just simple concrete floor with some carpet tiles on.

There were a couple of lengths of this left behind by the previous owner of my home. Last two pics are a little bowl I turned with it, before and after a coat of linseed oil.
The house was built in the 80s in Wellington, and I assume these are leftovers from the build, or perhaps some project of the past owner.
Any help identifying this is much appreciated!
