While I’m on the topic of Shamubeel he was all over the homeless crisis , back in February he co authored a report that claimed there was 23509 homeless people in Auckland. Of course they used the most tenuous criteria for homelessness they possibly could .
Turns out there’s actually 800 people living on the street in Auckland.
When did our news outlets decide he was an authority on everything? I thought Gareth Morgan was our national authority on everything, is there room for two of them ?

No worries love, can't see much downside to a fireplace not passing a building inspection...

I don’t know what a certified tradesman is but I’d a licensed builder did the work he needs to be in court for that . There are loopholes around transportable building but they still need to be built to code and as for the dodgy fireplace ffs .

I doubt they’ll ever pay up but this amused me

@jegga from skim reading in my Facebook feed he was a bloke travelling around nz or something. I've probably got it completely wrong though. The lady is all up in the Facebook comments section.
Interesting, I might have missed it but I don’t think she named him in the article.

As a layman it seems astounding how low the bar is in construction with regard to fixing shit up that doesn't last

@majorrage when I was at WDC in Building Compliance it was amusing coming across some of the illegal or unconsented structures...some had been there so long but just ignored.
This is without taking into account the work that had been done without consent because some of the rules were pretty anal (ie they applied, found thhe hoops they had to jump through and requiring resource consent disproportionate to the work they were doing)
Both my neighbours have a porta cabin on thier property, neither are consented and one I know would be subject to development contributions as it is self contained...fortunately we get on with them so I'd not dob them in...the other neighbours way up the back, illegally building a big shed on the other hand, noisy feckers, so they might get a visit from the council at some point!

Lbps are liable for defects for up to 10 years
Suppliers will on the other hand likely tell you to GFYs

@jegga About the easiest question in the world. Cos Max Key is an arrogant twat who milked every part of his father's position for fame.
And also, has a man bun.
The biggest load of shit in this article is the claim that he can play music.

@mn5 The whole article is pointless shit, Garner trying to justify why he interviewed Max Key, and being creepy with comparisons to Stevie Nicks (!!!) and Justin Beiber which seems more realistic in the twat stakes.
But I did laugh at the weird statement that Clarke Gayford courts attention and isn't held in contempt for it. Ummmmm. -

... as can anybody with a turntable. Or even iTunes.
