Hi Steve O, Stu and Youngy, just wondered what sort of work you guys are doing now? And what they are paying you?

I am working in new houses, the pace is manic and the pay is shit! I figure thats SA!

It was pretty bloody mad.
As iv said in another thread work has dried up in Cairns so we'r doing a bit of everything now, got a retirment village on the go, i did a large industrial shed a few months back, goverment buildings, renovations, houses..... and so on!

We'r both on $30 and hour which is around average here!
