Not what it used to be.  

I used to enjoy going into the old James Smiths Building.
The ambiance of the somewhat grungey market with all the small shops and having a coffee on the third floor.
Now there are only two floors available, and half of each is taken up by Rebel Sports. TWO oversized stores selling cheap crap! I no longer want to go inside the building anymore, as there are very few stalls now, and the whole building is pervaded by the smell of the cheap sweatshop plastic wares that the sports-gear giant specializes in. (... might as well go to the Warehouse ... )

The Big Pour  

It was a big pour in Taranaki Street this week.

Mystery Structure.

High in the sky above Manners Street, there is a mysterious structure on the top of a building.
It sure looks like it is functional, rather than some architect's folly, but I can't figure it out.

Builders Rates  

Having a few jars with Me-Mate-Murray the builder, and Flash-Artist-Geoff who draws pictures of houses (for types like Murray to build).
It turns out that there is a flexible charging regime in the building trade derived from a standard charge-out rate so:
100% : Normal unencumbered work.
150% : Working while client is watching.
200% : Working while client is helping.
