Back to work today. It's crazy how fast it goes from "I guess I could do more on this" to "Do all the things" so quickly.
This was a good weekend though. Went out for some geocaching on Matariki, and climbed one of the two Mt. Haast's on Saturday, and had friends over all day Sunday.
It's amazing up that high, but wow was it tough to get there. That whole route is like 45 degrees incline the whole way, or its walking in a creek bed and trying not to sink in the mud! I may make a post with some pictures later today
Just received the invoice from the sparky after our mains entry point burnt out and needed an after-hours replacement. It's in the ballpark I was expecting (in fact maybe a bit under), but not so high that it's worth going through house insurance to only save a couple of hundred once I pay the excess.
Our dehumidifier burnt out this morning; luckily it went while we were up and moving about (we run it overnight usually). Anyone have any recommendations on a replacement? The only thing I can think of in terms of specs is something that has a night/quiet mode - I'm not sure what else to look for.
First couple of days we had it running 24/7 to get the humidity down, now we use it only when it's damp (e.g. when drying clothes). It's fine for a room up to ~15 m2; definitely not strong enough for a whole house.
We have it running overnight sometimes, it's quiet on the low setting, but you can still hear it humming. Fine with us, depends on how light you sleep.
