Competition: Spot the differences. Prize: Bragging rights and a Certificate.
How's your attention to detail?
My home is on the market. View the nearly complete floorplan below with the (almost) original floorplan at the bottom. Printing out the pdf attached will make it easier to spot the differences.
Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to count the number of differences in the two floorplans.
Note: Please count each difference every time it occurs (each time it occurs) even if the same difference is repeated somewhere else. e.g the same difference (change) in two places is counted as two differences not one.

Looking at the pictures and video in the above link may help you spot the differences.
Please email me (Alan) the number of differences you find.
Please send your emails to alan99nz@gmail.com before the closing date (19 March).
Good Luck.
p.s. I asked the real estate salesperson to look at the original floorplan, photograph during an open home anywhere changes were required, and send the photos to the person creating the floorplan who had not seen the property.
The salesperson only sent one photo!
I really appreciate Tim's help getting the floorplan updated :)
Even Australians get it - so why not Kiwis???
“Ten years ago, if a heatwave as intense as last week’s record-breaker had hit the east coast, Australia’s power supply may well have buckled. But this time, the system largely operated as we needed, despite some outages.
On Australia’s main grid last quarter, renewables and energy storage contributed more than 50% of supplied electricity for the first time, while wholesale power prices were more than 40% lower than a year earlier.
[…] shifting demand from gas and coal for power and petrol for cars is likely to deliver significantly lower energy bills for households.
Last quarter, wind generation was up almost 30%, grid solar 15% and grid-scale batteries almost tripled their output. Gas generation fell 27% to its lowest level for a quarter century, while coal fell 4.6% to its lowest quarterly level ever.
Gas has long been the most expensive way to produce power. Gas peaking plants tend to fire up only when supply struggles to meet demand and power prices soar. Less demand for gas has flowed through to lower wholesale prices.”

If even Australians see the benefit of solar - then why is NZ actively boycotting solar uptake? The increased line rental for electricity was done to make solar less competitive and prevent cost per kWh to rise even more than it did - and electricity costs are expected to rise even more. Especially as National favours gas - which is the most expensive form of generating electricity. Which in turn will accelerate Climate Change, as if New Zealand didn’t have enough problems with droughts, floods, slips, etc. already.
Poll: As a customer, what do you think about automation?

Automation (or the “unpaid shift”) is often described as efficient ... but it tends to benefit employers more than consumers.
