Ripped of in karratha

[spanna]

What suburb? My tenant just got a quote in Perth $1000 for 1570sqm. We've both had troubles even getting people to quote!

I would also like to know! I just had a quote for $400 in Perth Northern Subs....

 

[willair]

I see $$$$. I just loaded the ute.

When I head down Carlisle Ave and hit the M4 which way do I turn?

You may need to get a haircut first,saw one gentleman the other day in a old ute doing that line of work,had a spray can sign on the back saying
"Crew-Cut-Garden-Services",no phone number maybe for "TAX",,when I pulled up beside him he had a crew cut hair style to match the sign..

Roight or is it left onto the underpass? Whatever it is, just head for the hills.

OMG I'm driving my 15yo over with our lawnmower - we have a normal, reel and a ride on . He'll do it for half price

Mr Westminster says his good mate Vas is now doing lawns.

Everything is expensive in Karratha. Everyone wants a piece of the mining pie.

You are just prepping him for doing the whole lawn at the new place aren't you WM... he'll have his work cut out there...

I promised him I'd teach him to drive *

*might not have mentioned it was going to be a lawnmover

Sounds like an opportunity for a man with a van, but the Karratha mob will take care of undercutting outsiders.

I used to mow lawns for $5, towed the mower around behind my pushbike, put all my profits in the stock market. It's a good lurk for a teenager.

Ride on Lawn Mowers

...or next level up is the tractor with a slasher

 

[skater]

The lawnmower man and globe changer are catering to a market of almost exclusively out of town LLs who have to pay whatever the only lawnmower man charges. ??

I would suggest this is the issue. A lack of tradies of any kind can push the price up substantially.

Gets $1600 rent per week for a fibro shack - complains about overcharging from others.

Lawnmower guy would need to charge that much to pay his own rent. I agree it sounds ridiculous but pricing is relevant to cost of the area.

LOL - true. like all the FIFOs earning the big bucks going on and on about the price of beer and coffee in Perth and how it is so much cheaper in bali/melbourne/timbuktu.... go live there if life is so grand in the land of cheap beer and coffee. the reason things are so expensive is because of their own wage bill - they are the cause of the problem

And they are ruining it in other parts of the globe.
Bali as an example is incredibly expensive (as a % of local wages) compared to before the mining boom types started splashing their cash around.
Its a 3rd world country with 1st world prices and many of the FIFO's who live there now are complaining and looking for the next spot to ruin.
They are a pretty thick lot (the ones I have spoken to) because they can't see their splashing cash around as a problem.

It's easy to have a whinge about the price of lawn mowing in whoop whoop but in sunny suburban Sydney we just paid $5 for a coffee

Can you use ride-on's on any lawns? Our yard has a few ditches from tenants digging/running dogs and honky nuts.
