Thankfully the entire house (internal walls included)is concrete so no water damage. Just means no running water for a while. which is always fun. Around christmas..when no ones working.<br /><br />Speaking of which i better text my plumber. urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:turoa:500 2006-09-07T08:54:00Z 2006-09-07T08:54:00Z hiya everyone,<br />Thought some new Zealand folks might be interested in this:<br /><br /><br /><br />“Move off the piste and into the park with the Rip Curl K2 Snow Camps at Mt Ruapehu and Ride like a Rockstar!!
