nstruction Checklist

Is the hole for excavation staked out correctly? Are the walls vertical and even? Has it gone to the correct depth? Are all cut earth faces supported and ‘cut in’ – especially important where this can impact on neighbouring properties? Excavation work inevitably means retaining walls.

Hemp pendant lamps

These pendant lamps she made of hemp string are genius. Plus, don’t you love how they look with her wallpaper? Heika writes: “I fell in love with West Elm’s Abaca pendent lamp a few years ago but, as usual, my taste was more expensive than my wallet could support.

NOISE and Soundproof Windows - Ecobob Forums

Some of their suppliers are the largest UPVC manufacturers in the world, so the base product is not at question. The weak part of the chain (for me) is the NZ window fabricator and then the fitter. This part of the industry (not the materials) is not as mature as Europe yet, sadly. In my town (Dunedin) there was no local expert UPVC window fabricator or fitter.

The upvc suppliers I spoke to could recommend a builder who could fit their windows, but then I would have been taking a chance that he knew his stuff. An relevant example would be a local house I saw which recently had had upvc windows fitted. Added to these concerns was the fact that upvc was not an accepted solution by Dunedin council, and would have needed consent (adding cost and complexity to fitting upvc), whereas alu is and no consent is required.
