Hey /r/brisbane if you don't mind; what do you do and how much do you make? And if you have the time, what did it take to get you there?

People are usually real cagey about this irl, but we should be good here right? I make about $50k for 40+ hours per week managing a smallish retail store, pretty much no experience necessary after starting as a casual about a year ago. I’m looking around for other paths at the moment and would like to get a bit of a grasp what’s out there. submitted by /u/Rus_s13 [link] [comments]

Anyone exposed the rafters in their house, or know of anyone who has done this anywhere in Brisbane?

I’m sick of my boring house, the ceilings feel low and claustrophobic. It’s 2 stories with a gable type roof. I don’t want to lift the lid off with a crane, I just want to have the plaster removed and everything ‘redone’ to expose the rafters and give me some breathing space (also increase value and look amazing, hopefully) I saw a blogger in the US who managed to have this done for under $6k. I’d happily pay $10-15k to have just my upstairs kitchen done, but do you need a specialist? The blogger I read about had a structural engineer and I’m not sure if it was a specialist builder or not. I can hire the engineer easily, but what about the demo and stuff? Anyone know about this stuff? I am clueless about building (as you can probably tell) 🙂 submitted by /u/lubblylady [link] [comments]
