I live in the TC3 zone where the land has dropped .<br />My friends said sell on your advantage of a double section [ 850 meters] and get out .<br />Well just one tiny moron problem, the Christchurch City Council. Rather than allow me to build a simple wooden home on a rubber foundation; these people want a hundred thousand dollars for Council and other fees to examine where the rocks are under the surface, and make people feel safe. Like they did with leaky buildings.yes. <br />Well Hugh Pavletich has bashed his head against this ignorance for decades. I hope Christchurch City Council will evaporate , begone, extinguished :<br />Crap builders and tradesmen from overseas, crap homes, idiot Council, compromised Government;<br />hopeless dead end rough streets to nowhere. paul scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15675247055484136242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11906042.post-18871418714340874312014-11-29T12:38:16.206+13:002014-11-29T12:38:16.206+13:00Don't worry Black Francis, you can get plenty ...Don't worry Black Francis, you can get plenty of that same quality house built today for four times the price.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11906042.post-16305324982907175702014-11-27T16:00:59.653+13:002014-11-27T16:00:59.653+13:00I've just bought a 40 year old house and I can...I've just bought a 40 year old house and I can tell you the reason - the build quality is shit. Nothing lines up and nothing is straight. There's zero insulation and the water pressure is abysmal.<br />I guess quality wasn't that important back then.Frank Blacknoreply@blogger.com
