How long was the quarantine? What was the process you followed?

I don't get why you start with 6mm ply on floor. It's way too thin. Take at least 18mm.

The aggressor is clearly intoxicated

Thanks for sharing your experience brudda

I’d just turn every power tool I have on full noise and be like have that mate

Insure the bus for , and buy a ring camera to watch out for it,

Set up a hidden camera as a pre caution mate

No worries, we've passed the peak of winter. It's starting to get lighter in the early mornings.

welcome to sydney

lol

Sorry you had to deal with this, mate ..

Good luck with it mate, I'm currently trying to make a old bus live able to keep a roof over our heads as we can't afford the rent anymore combined with the cost of food etc here. Luckily I've been able to store and work on my bus at the bus depot I work part time. I think being mobile will be a good thing, specifically because of people like that chap, I don't like people at the best of times. And aussies seem to be getting more and more arseholes every day unfortunately.

ill be rallying to support your neighbor. 5 buck pom

Why I left Australia - the people are unfathomable

It would be in your interest to report the incident to the local police. The man has 'issues'.

1pm lmao , drunk as a skunk that bloke.

Go hard on the noise brother. People just need some backbone. Old mate wants to sit on the couch being a lazy arse All nice and cozy expects the outside world to pander to his fantasy 😂

Honestly Sydney once was a beautiful city unfortunately immigration is part of the problems that has turned it into a city to avoid....and this is coming from an Australian that has lived in the inner west for over 10yrs....there is no housing and because immigration is what is getting spewed all over the news has caused racial and cultural divide....Aussies are pissed off and at wits end everyone just bitter and angry all the time and often take out there aggression on others especially if it seems someone is doing better then them....It's no excuse for violence but unfortunately it's all going to get worse....Not until there is some decent relief given by our government that just left the door open.

in Melbourne (and most Australian metro locations) you can make noise that is not deemed 'unreasonably loud or disturbing' btw 7am to 8pm Mon to Thurs, 8 am to 11pm on Friday and Saturday, and 10am to 10pm on Sunday. And for example most construction noise does not fall into the 'unreasonably loud or disturbing' category, unless we are talking about generators and excavation tools, and they adhere to basically same hours as above except for starting an hour later and finishing a couple hours earlier

My guy you let that upset you way too much! Dont worry about other people especially people like that! Enjoy your sunday.

please brother u look tough dont wack him

Mate I'd lost it because thar could of ended badly for u while working with a tool with a blade 😮

I’d report it to the police.

noise curfew in nsw is before 8am and after 10pm, you're literally doing nothing wrong! that dude is a entitled crackhead, just ignore him mate and keep doing what you're doing. You also wouldn't get deported for practicing self defense. you even have video proof that shows that fat idiot being the aggressor. Legislation Section 418 of the Crimes Act 1900 outlines when self-defence is available in New South Wales. Under that provision, the accused must have believed their conduct was necessary to: defend themselves or another person; or prevent or terminate the unlawful deprivation of their liberty or the liberty of another person; or protect property from unlawful taking, destruction, damage or interference; or prevent criminal trespass to any land or premises or to remove a person committing any such criminal trespass; AND the conduct must have been a reasonable response in the circumstances as the accused perceived them.

Mate get the hell out of Sydney its a rat race the more immigrants that arrive there every day means more people are living on top of each other causing stress and behaviour like that. Maybe move to a regional centre like the Central Coast, the Hunter or the Illawarra you will get pretty much the same advantages as you would living in Sydney without the overcrowding. You never know what you save on rent you may be able to spend on a property with a little bit more room to work on your bus.

Man, get some knee protetion! it will be worth it trust me... keep your health Regarding the neighbour its became really unbearable live in society especially in crinpped living condition. people are not nice to each other anymore especially in the western world. and I understand how difficult it is when you trying to make yourself a home and carry on but someone disturbing you. While indeed you distucring them with the noise because the houses in AU are crap and there is no proper sounds insulation in the walls so it leads to conflicts. my advice get out of sydney or be in more affordable place with less close neighbours

The whole situation is so horrible! Sorry you had to go through that 😣 I'd be thinking the exact same, worrying what he'd do after his next drink, so scary!

You’re in friggin Sydney, what did you expect.

Good on you mate That guy is a crackhead You have some good self control You can do whatever you want on a weekend

Weather was amazing that day and someone has to ruin it he didn’t know he was messing with a ex military 😂😂😂

You're talking about 'Dincel' I'm pretty sure. I did a day's labouring with one other lad carting that shit from the road onto site many years ago and I hated it. Didn't help the boss was a Chinese bloke that expected us to work like slaves.

he was wasted!! you kept your composure really well!!! people are so aggressive for no reason! its fd up!!!

put bythel rubber tape on all sides of the sheet metal that will prevent leaks forever in addition to your sealant. on sides and under the sheet metal piece like a square. then you also wont need to use screws. as screws are another source of leak

Good on you ole boy. I feel trapped in construction but a ciggie and redbull is getting me by for now anyway 😂

I loved the money in FIFO, but you get too old for construction. Im in Maintenance now. No regrets. No place for old men, Construction.

Fascinating. To think we thought there might emerge a dispensation that preserved our privilege. For a while it did, but of course, there was an inevitability to our losing it all. And we deserved to.

I often wonder on the weather extreme days in Sydney, how on earth the construction workers cope, physically or mentally. We need these people’s skills and if Covid taught us anything, it’s the tradies and so many skilled and unskilled workers, that give the nations economy the ‘clout’ we all benefit from.

I was a shop drawer for AFS panels for over 7 years. AFS panels need to be 225 wide for a typical 3m high panel to get a safe handling weight of 22kg. This would be the size government projects would demand. They only got away with 1100 panels been installed by a single or two guys cause they mainly highed large kiwis. Not surprised you got hurt. Good call moving on. You gained experience, take that with you, there's always something better around the corner. Logistics organisation was a direction I was going to go, good sector, just be organised. You'll be right 👍

Tradies are the salt of the earth under valued except for CFMEU ones. We wouldn’t have the modern world we live in without them, hats off to the Tradies that make it possible.

Glad you got something and its going good. Xx

I've re-skilled as a trainer for high risk work licenses. I don't make as much as i did in total but i work 8 hours a day max, on salary with sick leave, holiday leave etc. Everyone wants stuff done on the cheap, and it's almost expected. Like... how dare you charge so much? You want to make a living? I should say there's multiple other things but it's everything you've said. Enough.

Mate all the best. Australia is full of ar$eholes. It's a beautiful place to live but not everyone here is like the tourist posters. Make change before you have kids. Like the other comments once you have kids you will be torn between a shvt job and trying to be an awesome dad to your kids. Stay focused on your dream bro. All the best to you and your mate.

Alot of seasonal work, crayfish boat , prawning Cairns, dive master resorts , yeah computer coarse my wife did; I'm Lancashire born family immigrated here, cheers good luck 👍 😊

I was doing roadwork & I should have given it up because it's such a dangerous job. Drunk drivers - F-wits throwing crap at me. We copped a lot of abuse - that most wouldn't tolerate. I ended up being hit by vehicles - THREE times before I gave it away. I should have listened to my gut instinct.

I hope this helps someone here regarding body health. Fat soluble vitamins A, D and K help alot. If you are looking to keep your endocrine system healthy and thus.. the body I would highly recommend taking 3-6ml per day of a blend of fermented cod liver oil and high vitamin butter oil. Focusing on the weston A price nutrient dense diet will at least support the body correctly while being flogged at work in many different ways. I know many of my mates in construction eat and drink shit - it all catches up , If we dont raise up this information about health and the wealth it can provide we will all be stuck in this physically abusive loop. Wishing you all the best.

Since you've done sales and want something digital, thought about high-ticket dropshipping?

These days you need to work smarter not harder, this is why the young generation dont want to do Tradie jobs, because it is a shit job and nowhere near worth the pay for the pain. I only do it now and then and when I do it its hard physical work, but only do it for the money. It was a wake up call. Now I will be doing remote work, using your brain and fingers typing the keyboard, and its more flexible. Change what your doing in an industry which gives you freedom and happiness. God Bless You Buddy

Become a train driver like i did. Best job i ever had. Except for the screwed up work hours

I’ve always looked at the older guys who used to do the serious labour in their youth. They hobble about in agony. Unless they are a super duper greek gladiator type. It’s not for everyone. I take the easy employment. If you’re still cash obsessed, you can do shift work on a fork in a warehouse and rake in the dough!
