to registrar, Wal
Dear Registrar and PGDB,
Please see attached 2 documents to support this email.
Personal statement I wrote in 2017 ( if there anything out of date please let me know so I can update my files)
Report written by industry stalwart Wal Gordon.
Wal's report shows 9 people of interest that were ignored and to the best of my knowledge never pursued. Done while I was made the scapegoat with my wife and family traumatised.
My Wife is still deeply concerned by the relevance of child sexual abuse case notes sent to our home, just before we were forced to sell that home. My Wife then had to live in a caravan with my young sons for a whole winter, while I was forced to work away to stay financially afloat...for many years. The site of the caravan had no potable water or functioning toilet. She had to empty the cassette toilet and collect drinking water at the local i-site. All done in front of the public that we previously served with a successful plumbing and gas business.
By way of an OIA please can you tell me if anyone has been held accountable for the near fatal explosion that happened at the chip-shop in Nelson, the explosion that I had spent 6 years previously warning it could happen if circumstances didn't change, i.e. addressing dodgy incomplete gas certs covering dangerous work.
Also if no one has been held accountable, please explain why not. I have a wealth of ignored evidence if required. The ongoing effect on my life is an everyday struggle. I did nothing wrong and only acted with the best of intentions.
It is my intention to ask these questions every time there is a change of guard at the PGDB.
I ask you, as part of a perpetual board, are you happy to inherit this state of affairs? Are you happy to join your predecessors? I believe there will come a day when we will finally have someone with the CORRECT moral compass and integrity to address this, I hope you are this group of people. I will persist until I find these people.
Please table both these documents at the next PGDB meeting.
Please keep all correspondence in writing, preferably by email.
FYI, I will be posting this on the Plumber's Forum, where there have been more than 150 thousand "reads" concerning this thread, this email and your answer will be open to the industry.
Yours with integrity
Paul Gee

Q & A - Baths and Showers / Shower lining
« Last post by CharlesK on September 02, 2021, 12:06:58 AM »Hi, our 60's house has a built-in shower, concrete walk-in floor and is lined with Seratone which hangs down about 15mm and is proud of the wall so makes a good drip edge. This was all fitted 6 years ago by a local builder but the lower edge of it is all now rotting. Another builder has been to look and suggested that we just reline it but use some stuff called 'showerline' which is faced with aluminium. The shower is 1200 x 900 and three sides are clad, the fourth is open with curtains. Now, the question is that this second builder has quoted us $4000-5000 to remove and reline and we wondered if this is a sensible figure? Also, is the suggestion of this new material a good one? What is the inside part of it made of? ie is it the same as seratone? Views would be appreciated.

Ask Plumbers (Public) / Wetback Hot Water Cylinder install!
« Last post by naturaljandal on August 24, 2021, 07:43:08 PM »Kia ora all
Looking for advice regarding a wetback hot water cylinder install - HWC in question : https://rheem.co.nz/.../low-pressure-copper-wetback/14513513
There is only around 1250mm height space to install the HWC (with 20mm copper to bottom)
Is this doable?
Thank you
Cam

Fellow Practitioners Update / Fellow Practitioner Issue 406 Dated 16 July 2021
« Last post by Wal on July 16, 2021, 12:44:10 PM »Are practitioners participating in the Boards and Governments activities and what is the incentive to participate? It seems more and more practitioners are turning their backs on the regulation of the industry.
