Tunnel mining changes to 24-hour operation in City Rail Link project

Twenty-four hour work at the tunnel portal site on the corner of Nikau St and Flower St starts on Thursday.
Mining will continue 24 hours Monday-to-Friday but Saturday mining hours are restricted to 7am-7pm.
Work will cease on Sundays and public holidays.
Link Alliance Project Director, Francois Dudouit, said measures are in place to reduce the impact the increased hours may have on the project’s residential and business neighbours.
Mining noise and vibration will be closely monitored by environmental experts, he said.
To mitigate noise, workers will place a curtain at the portal entrance to reduce noise and schedule noisier work to day shifts.
Lights used at night will be angled down directly onto the work site.
Dudouit said the increased hours are temporary and are necessary to complete a 51 metre-long entrance to the tunnel over the next four months.
The Link Alliance is building a cavern and trench which the TBM will use to start its journey underground into central Auckland.
The trench will later become the railway line connecting the City Rail Link with the Western Line at the redeveloped Mt Eden station.

Aucklanders will be allowed to use hoses outdoors from December 14 if they are fitted with hand-held trigger nozzles.
Auckland Council has approved the ease in restrictions which were put in place during the region's drought.

Beater or Blender
Hi Everyone,
I am attempting to make recycled paper over the summer (before I make it with my students next year) and am looking for a beater (old manual or hand held electric) or perhaps even an old blender to help mix up the pulp. If anyone is having a pre-Christmas clean out and has an old one … View moreHi Everyone,
I am attempting to make recycled paper over the summer (before I make it with my students next year) and am looking for a beater (old manual or hand held electric) or perhaps even an old blender to help mix up the pulp. If anyone is having a pre-Christmas clean out and has an old one they are looking to get rid of I would gladly take it off your hands.
Thanks

Open Homes: A necessary nightmare
So, I spent a weekend hitting the open homes and seeing what it's like to try to buy as a solo person. Folks, it's tough out there... As an older, single person, it's really tough. Take a look at how I found "the churn" and let me know how it compares to your experience.
