Welcome to today’s daily kōrero!

Anyone can make the thread, first in first served. If you are here on a day and there’s no daily thread, feel free to create it!

Anyway, it’s just a chance to talk about your day, what you have planned, what you have done, etc.

So how’s it going?

I know safety standards were lax back then, but 6 stories would be like 20 meters wouldn’t it? Even back then they would think twice for a kids playground at that height.

Playgrounds don't need to have head space for adults, and don't need to have space between floors for wires, pipes, etc. So I'd think a maximum of 2m high for a floor, and probably less.

True. Still 12 or more meters is still pretty high for kids!

[–] Dave 3 points 1 year ago

Agreed! That's massive!
