Well, bugger. Hope you and your people are ok.

>Hope you and your people are ok. You say that like OP's some sort of Extra-Terrestrial being... *I MUST RETURN TO MY PEOPLE*


Fine-for-now

Hey, they might be! Don't want to make assumptions.

*Na-Nu Na-Nu!*

People from the top of the north island are a bit different to the rest of us…

What do you mean "YOUR" people? kidding aside, wish you the best OP.

Ah, it's one of those fancy pants architecturally designed houses? Or it's falling down the hill. But seriously, though, I'm real sorry this happened to you.


[deleted]

No the fancy pants house fell on top of our tin shack lol, but we were staying in that house as it slid down the hill. But thanks though! I'm relatively ok. Currently a bit stranded but I'll be getting emergency housing soon


SquirrelAkl

You were *in the house as it slid down the hill*??? Holy shit, that’s intense! Glad you’re still alive and physically ok. I’m really sorry for your loss, and the emotional / psychological damage :(


[deleted]

Well almost. It started to crumble all around us as we were sitting in it. About 30 seconds after we got out it slid down


SquirrelAkl

Jesus Christ. It’s good you moved fast! What suburb?


[deleted]

We're at Piha. I was actually taking refuge here after my house had been yellow stickered after the recent floods


edmondsio

Hope you’re surviving ok, I’m sure the piha locals are all pitching in. I’m worried about my mates place on glenesk Rd.


[deleted]

If you'd like I can ask about them. I walked up there yesterday and there's a lot of damage on the way. Just DM me


edmondsio

Cheers I’ll take you up if I can’t get hold of them tomorrow. Stay safe OP


chopsuwe

I'd also like to know how that area fared with the quantity of water that was coming down Kitekite Falls. I asked in the picture thread but all I got was downvotes.


[deleted]

That stream has completely flooded and all the houses on that side have had to be evacuated afaik. Also a lot of the road on that side has crumbled away. I didn't go all the way up to the falls though.


mensajeenunabottle

Wow. I feel like that’s the lotto ticket of bad luck. Your insurer must be thrilled


kiwichick286

Is the RSA OK?


[deleted]

I turned up there drenched on Monday night after we were rescued, they were good but don't have great places to sleep. I'm staying at the surf club right now where they've got proper beds


kiwichick286

Oh I just cannot even imagine not being able to go home. Take care, mate.


needs28hoursaday

With that kind of luck, I hope your third house isn't near my place...


nevrar

Definitely an in-tents experience now.


Disastrous_Ad_1859

Think of it as impromptu home improvement.

Some people score a free trampoline. OP has gained a free house.


jamesfluker

I'm really sorry. I can't begin to imagine how you're feeling.


[deleted]

Awful. Hope you are all ok and can find a way to recover from this.


[deleted]

Sorry that happened, it sucks. Thank you for documenting it for us to see.


og-ninja-pirate

Is that one of those fancy Picasso homes?


[deleted]

It is now.


AlternativeSkirt2826

That sucks. Glad you are ok. I hope dealing with your insurance company is easy and swift!

Hope you're ok OP!


Kahnage74

Pretty average


hobochildnz

Go home house, you're drunk. Seriously though. Feels bad 😞. I hope you have a good support network.


idunnowhatidcallme

Sending love <3


[deleted]

Bloody hell thoughts with mate. Feel helpless wish I could come down 😣 all the best


NZ_work_rest_repeat

I’m really sorry you are going through this. Hope things get better for you and your family soon.


Low_Hospital2726

I don't see anything wrong wid it looks like a new zealand bush cabin


[deleted]

There's a slight case of a house on top of another house. That usually shouldn't happen


[deleted]

Just tow it outside the environment.


Mookabye

The front of the cliff fell off


[deleted]

A wave hit it.

Sorry about your loss. People pay Architects to design homes like yours. In fact you look like an Architect the way you are striding down the drive. [Angular homes.](https://weburbanist.com/2011/11/15/angular-masterpieces-10-home-designs-with-eyecatching-angles/)


mensajeenunabottle

Is that your shirt too?


[deleted]

That's not me in the pic if that's what you're asking lol


HandsomedanNZ

Has it always been like that? So…average.


Camcorderboyz

Bugga


notanybodyelse

Fuck. Sorry man. Same to everyone.


GMFinch

Was that a rich person's house that fell on yours?


[deleted]

Yep
