It has it moments , helps that I seem to be OK at it would be the best answer I guess
One thing I have learnt , don't tell the customers you see in Tigers /WT's garb you are a WT's supporter
I've had a couple of real nutters 😱pen_mouth:
And they seemed so normal until they opened their mouths :laughing:
My job has it's moments but I find painting relaxing !
Did a paint job last month , then second day I found out the customer was a mad Dragons supporter , I told him if I knew that when I quoted I would've charged more lol .
He said if I knew you were a Wests Tigers supporter you wouldn't have got the job lol . When I quote a job is quite easy to work out who you can have a bit of banter with !!!
And who will be awkward or a plain stiff !

Yeah I had my time painting for a little while I used to work for Brisbane Forest Park as a cleaning contractor many years ago and also did some work actually building the restaurant at the park headquarters
If I ever see gum leaf green or scrub gum green again I will beat myself senseless :brick:

Like any one of us on this forum :laughing: what sort of food do you serve at your restaurant Happy?

Gladstone's not a big town Tigermama Probably rather keep that off the Forum if that's OK
But if you and your better half are ever up this way , send me a PM and I'll shout you some big macs or a fillet's o fish
@NT Tiger said:Going to a fishing resort/camp with the family and two mates and their families. Tides will be rubbish but we might get some trolling in for pelagics and maybe some fishing off the beach for barra, queenies or salmon. Christmas lunch is laid on and we're planning a seafood dinner for later. Otherwise good food & drinks with mates and some beach cricket if the weather allows or just watch the storms roll by from the verandah.

:laughing: , that's funny hobbo :laughing: , i was in the Building game for 14 years until i moved up North and had a Career change . I'm a Stonemason and Tiler by Trade and used to fix Terrazzo Partitions , Staircases , tiles in all Westfields , Olympic venues , was going interstate and all over the Country all the time for long stints and you get Jack of it , was good job and would of been still with the same Company if still in Sydney .
, but chose lifestyle over money .
Stonemasons are on massive coin these days !
I enjoy a bit of tiling as well but you have to think a lot more than doing painting ! On average it takes me about 15 mins to get to work and early finishes allow me to pick up the kids for sport .
The only thing that pisses me off when painting is all of the other trades ! ( mainly the wood butchers).
Thank god for ' no more gaps ' !!!!!
I can't believe you gave up Fairfield mate !! Lol
_Posted using RoarFEED 4.1.4_
yeah we used to get annoyed with the plumbers , they used to try and install the toilets in between the Terrazzo partitions while we were trying to install the partitions and one of those partitions weighs about 300 kilos on average .
Fairfield is a dump , you need to learn how to fight quick growing up in these areas there are a lot of wanna be gangsters wanting to start crap , i dread when we have to go there and visit Family.

@happy tiger said:Hey Hobbo
Save some of the mission brown for when we purchase Bonnie Doon as the WTF clubhouse , bar and grill
With the amount of poo we all talk , that colour will be perfect to hide the stains

And I'm sure you won't say no in painting the lattice out the back :slight_smile:

LOL. Thanks Hobbo. All three of us in anticipation of our upcoming trip, have been working on our fitness for a while now. One of my friends is a keen amatuer photographer, so no doubt there will be lots of pics. By the way, your holiday sounds awsome too!

Oh & hopefully there'll be a new Tigers jersey in the stocking for me!
