Christchurch Earthquake

[Pyromanik]

Sif that stops people from trying

[Growler]

25 months and counting...

No inspection, no money, no answers. Hear from no one. See no one.

And people think all is rosey down here, fucking shambles and EQC are the root of all the problems!

I must have clocked up a gazbijillion hours on the phone to those useless cunts.

[SteddieEddie]

That is really bullshit that you haven't had any contact in over 2 years, bloody embarrassing really.

You should get someone to film a doco on all the shambles and the effect it is having on people and shame those inept fuckers into action

[Zarkov]

Told you to leave town, right at the outset.

In other news state are giving contents insurance again, our policy is now setup

[Growler]

Have emailed and laid official complaints with, John Key, Gerry Brownlee, Roger Sutton, Nicky Wagner (my local mp), The Office of the Ombudsman & The Human Rights Commission.

[Kopfjaeger]

Just been round home to check on the proceedings, internal stopping and painting all done but the colors look off and several walls have blatant brush marks.  We were told 3 weeks for the whole house to be fixed and after 2 they have only managed to paint the inside.  

We have been trying very hard not to bust anyones balls over all the little fukups but that may change soon.

[Tandoori]

Can't say our experience with EQC has been very good, they continue to 'misplace' our assessment and although apparently all the damage qualifies etc. Subsequent to our assessment, we've been in discussion with the insurance company, and Fletchers is waiting to do the work. However, EQC has yet to sign-off Fletchers to start because they can't find our documentation (which they lost).

Needless to say it's all fun & games, thankfully I'm spared the headaches of dealing with them (the lawyer and le parents are handling that part). Frustrating, but the damage to our properties are nothing in contrast to the TC3 areas and I do get a sense that we are being looked after much better by nature of the fact our properties are on the 'right' side of town - keeps you humble, albeit a bit disgusted at the cronyism inherent in this city.

[Growler]

To give you a basic rundown of where I am at.

April 2011 had an assessment, they did not check structural, flooriing or foundation damage. Which is my biggest and most costly damage. To date EQC refuse to acknowledge there is damage that warrant investigation.

here are 2 pics i took last night.

1, my hand going INTO the gap underneath my skirting board and above my kauri floors, about a 25mm gap, load bearing wall, ground visible, drafty as fuck. This goes the width of my house, and up 1 internal/external wall.

2, my living room floor, you can just see my hand trying to pin the level to the floor and keep it somewhat level on the left, red lines indicate gap from level to floor, you can see the duct tape i have covering 1 half of the floor split, and there is another on the other side of that floorboard. About a 35mm gap over about 1.8m. This bounces like a trampoline, the tape is to try and keep the wind & dust out.

Good stuff

IC battle?

[BeNZene]

Insurance Company?

[Growler]

State... though it may not be too much of a battle, 0 fucks to give at the moment!!

[Aloysius]

YAY!
Sucks that they got two years + use of your money.
Is it replacement value? So even if cost of materials have gone up you will get money enough to fix it?

Possibly on the list of things you give 0 fucks about but: Know if the Kauri floor will be replaced by chipboard or real wood?

[deanox]

Rip Kauri floor up, say it fell down large earthquake crevice

[Codex]

If it's any help i've had a great experience with my insurance and state with buying our house etc and all the eq stuff wasn't a problem at all

Also did a claim for something else recently and had it sorted within a day of doing my end

[Growler]

I'm not worried in the slightest little bit.

Actual replacement, wife ex state employee, friends are head of EQ part at state.

They want to repair our house for $350k which is stupid. So will go for rebuild under repai costs and take some of our old kauri fireplaces and floors with us if we can.
