would anybody know what the wages are for carpenter in oz?

dotty

Yep. $35 sm for frame trusses and fixout. Or $30.00 hour. Sydney tho its possible to get $50.00 sm if your lucky. How do I know this, we have a carpenter sitting at our pool drinking beer Reason the wages are so high for OZ is due to a shortage of chippies during the housing boom. Non boom time deduct $10.00 an hour. Qualifications and registration required in every state.

Dont you think the population growth is a bit too high for that tho? More people gotta live someplace

In Vic 30$ to 35$ working for a builder, direct 35$ to 45$ per hour.If you have not got one you will need a frame and fix gun,compresser 50m hose.about 1500$to1800$ know one fixes anything here with a hammer and forget about hand saws.

If you go STNI, Victoria are looking for chippies. We have decided not to go down that root as we want to live in Brisbane.
Andrew will be very pleased at not having to use a handsaw, he loves his power tools and I'm sure he has a cordless fetish. He arrived home with another Ryobi the other day, that takes him to a grand total of 6 cordless's of different makes.
