^^^ lol what house appraisals are in Darwin

[heslo]

AFAIK, Andrew is a sub-contractor. Meaning he has to pay his own super, his own tax, his own sick leave, holidays, etc. If so that $1200 gets less attractive quickly

Even so, for a full week that's good money

[Weezy]

I did intend that to come across as a light hearted jab to Andrew, hardly being serious.

We all live within our means so earning less to what you normally do will hurt whatever budget your usual to

[heslo]

I wasn't having a dig at ya, just saying It would be all well and good me telling you I earn $2500 a week, but if I'm a subbie, I have costs that come out of that $2500 so the take home is a lot less...

As you said, we live within our means, having your pay cut usually does help. Andrew is lucky his missus works too

[Nightcrawler]

Yeah Luke is dead right .... for a start I have to give 1/11th of that money back to the Govt as GST, then I pay $10k a year PI Insurance, not to mention run a company, car, phone, computers etc .... but hey, I know it will get busy again when the market heats back up, so at the moment I get to have some family time (went to the Gorge Wildlife park today for 4 hours with the wife and 2 year old) .... and when work gets busy again I go back to 18 hour days like I was doing a couple of years ago.

The joys of running a small business eh? It can be rewarding but you work f**king hard for it too

Last I heard too, that's why I asked He usually works out of there.

Man would be so frustrating trying to contact him if I had issues with a tune he did

Don't forget PAYG-Is

Nah saddest thing is I am now paying the installments for last fin year's earnings, when I earnt considerably more - is a double knife in the back! No PAYG as I own my own company.

[Luke_ENR34]

Speaking of pay. Im on roughly 7-800 a week, Then sell parts, order parts for ppl, work on cars. Sometimes ends up around 1k a week, so i aint complaining. Pretty chilled working with parents.

Also some new pics from my build. Someone say seam weld. Fuel cell is all complete, also got the bit where the old fuel tank top lid come up welded up.
