@BEISHA - sorry this is what I was referring too, have read too much crap lately to remember exactly whats what...
HVAC - Just moved from Sydney to Brisbane after Easter so won't be moving to WA for a job any time soon
I haven't started applying for jobs up here yet, my wife kept her job and works remotely so it took the pressure right off me having to find one, I'm calling it a holiday more than I'm unemployed. I prefer doing installation/project work as opposed to service work, if I want to do service work you can pretty much pick the job ad you like atm but not so much with project work. I've got friends in construction here that I'll just do labour work for in the meantime. We also haven't decided exactly where we want to end up buying here yet so I don't exactly want to get my dream job on the North side of Brisbane and then buy a house on the Gold Coast either.
What do you do?>
I am a carpenter , but also a registered builder, i flip homes , buy ugly ducklings in good locations, knock a couple of walls down here and there to open the place up, modernise the bathrooms / kitchens, lick of paint, a bit of landscaping then SELL.
Dont touch electricity, plumbing, tiling, i get contract those out, but i do the rest, flooring, hang doors, skirting, architraves, installing cabinets, pergolas etc.
I am getting a bit too tired doing that now, hoping to just flip my personal home and then retire and trade full time, making more money doing that and dont have to bust a gut in doing so.
2 more years to go hopefully to fulfill that dream.
I am also studying Psychology part time, will go full time once i quit building.
