[18:42] <Atamira> morning
[19:31] <snail> guess who's having their workplace rebuilt by mainzeal right now?
[19:32] <ajmitch> hah
[19:32] <ajmitch> so construction will be on hold for a bit?
[19:32] <snail> fortunately the new building is apparently watertight
[19:32] <snail> not 100% sure
[19:33] <snail> I can hear power tools from where i sit
[19:33] <snail> but there are also knots of idle workmen lurking
[19:33] <ajmitch> I think in receivership they can try & still work their way to solvency
[19:33] <ibeardslee> with all the working needing to be done in chch how can someone like mainzeal go boom?
[19:34] <ibeardslee> too much $$ been spent on pies for Gerry?
[19:34] <ajmitch> poor management?
[19:35] <ajmitch> it's probably quite easy to go boom if you spread yourself thin & have to wait for insurance companies to pay you
[19:36] <ibeardslee> true, but that is something the govt needs to crack the whip over
[19:38] <ibeardslee> speaking of insurance .. mutter mutter burst pipe in ceiling mutter mutter water in bottom of oven mutter
[19:41] <snail> my understanding is that foreign owner promised money, business planned for it, money didn't arrive, business folded
[19:41] <snail> but i could be wrong
[20:15] <chilts> morning
[20:18] <chilts> yeah, whatever happened, sounds like something hit the fan since the quotes in yesterday's news were a bit vague
[20:18] <chilts> "series of events that had adversely affected the company's financial position"
[20:18] <chilts> sounds like mis-management
[20:30] <snail> personally I'm disappointed that we've not seen more links to http://www.business.govt.nz/companies/ doucments in the press reporting
[20:30] <snail> it's not like any of it is secret or anything
