What are folks thoughts about the proposed new earthquake standards that may be introduced because of Christchurch?
We have a lovely old house in Henderson on a hill with great views that has been here since 1925. It has the typical wood piles on concrete blocks which I guess would be a no-no. I could go round and drill holes thru all the blocks and thread wire through and staple to the piles but that may not be enough. Having said that I wouldn't like to test it now in a big quake (or the recent tornado event, which is more likely in Auckland than a quake).
