If you are a good tradie with a good work ethic you will always get plenty of work.
We live in Redcliffe, next suburb to Scarborough, the Peninsula is fairly small and it's easy to get a good (or bad ) reputation.

Hi, Not to bore you too much, the differences between a solid and a non-solid plasterer are the solid plasterer can do internal and external work e.g all renders and all solid background walls. Non-solid plasterers just plasterboard and skim or tape and joint. Hope this helps!

Hi, Thanks for your reply. Could you let me know of any local newspapers please so I can have a nosey at the jobs? Redcliffe looks a nice place aswell. Thanks for the pic of the rental. There is only 3 of us so a bit big for us but grateful for any advice and help.

Hi, our local paper is only small, (comes out each Wednseday) doesn't have many jobs: http://www.couriermail.com.au/questnews/moreton

The main Courier Mail for the Brisbane area has a big job section on Saturdays.

Most people I know looking for work use seek.com.au

Hope that helps....

BTW, my husband is originally from Oldham!!
