Hi Vincey I'm still here in Perth mate, I came here back in 2011 after travelling out here in 2009 to do the AQFIII and gave a look around mate, after all the expense and hardship of trying to get a PR Visa after taking 2 years to get that all sorted with a lot of paperwork etc we immigrated in...

The days of making descent money out here in Perth are long gone, I have talked with plasterers who have worked here over 25 + years and their stories aren't great either about rates here Yes the difference was the cost of living being so cheap and that helped, but now Perth is one of the most...

I would just like to take this Opportunity to say thanx to you all for making me welcome onto the forum And would like to wish you all a Very Merry Xmas & A Happy New year to you all Be safe and may next year be a great year for us all

Just received this Felt brush today here in Perth from Team Marshalltown, I know that I'm sure a lot of u great lads and ladies have these? But I was so humbled to have won this and looking forward to seeing how these new products work for an ole plasterer Out here it's really hard to believe...

Yes Danny mate, only it's mixed with hydrated lime putty and hardwalls, it's really an awful product and causing a lot of issues ATM mate It goes of hard, but then can come flurry if that makes sense? It has to be oil based before painting etc

Yeah there are some tyre marks around The driving skills are shocking out here

Yeah tbh plastering here in Perth is really only looked at as a labour job As it's not regulated and that is something that needs looks at

Not to bad yet Danny mate tbh Just had a few days of 38's but nothing major just yet all being well But no doubt it will be here soon all being well "PHEW" Hope u are all looking forward to Xmas all being well

It's getting out off control in this day and age tbh To many are just picking up a Hawk & Trowel and taking the easy route? Once some have learnt a few bits and pieces, that them gone self employed and under cutting as they ha e not the same bill to pay tbh

That's lovely looking work mate

Thanx Jimbo Lovely place but to expensive to live and Plastering prices here in Perth are shocking TBH mate I was just down at Freo last week watching one of the worlds biggest ocean liners leave port Was an amazing spectacle TBH

There is still ATM a lot of work over East for plasterers, but please remember that a lot is Gyprock, not really a lot of Solid plastering over there, and going by the news and Internet, please look into things regarding the situation out here, as Perth has slowed Dramatically and Melbourne...

There has been a lot of issues regarding the bad workmanship regarding the Plastering here in Perth, as this is the only State to actually do Solid wall plastering, over east is mainly Plaster board and taped? A lot is really down to lack of knowledge here in WA
