Ping @Suitman. Mate, is it normal to enter into a small jobs contract with a tradie for work say worth $15,000 ? A have a few trades lined up (painting, landscaping) that will cost at least that each. I see that jobs over $20,000 must be via contract and HOW Insurance provided.

I’m just trying to get an understanding of what is normal in the marketplace.

Offer them cash price also

you really should have the small contracts agreements in place

for your own protection I would, you are then covered if they f**k up or go broke or get run over or what ever. If you are financing it your fiance company may require contracts

I certainly wouldn't recommend doing say $40K worth of work without signing contracts to cover you for contingencies as then there are agreements in place on how to deal with the contingencies/variations

Based on what Gronk has posted here in the past his bigger concern may be explaining that to his wife...

Why would Gronk pay them untill works completed? I've never once been paid untill jobs done. If you start drawing up contracts I reckon it will scare tradies off. I'd personaly be looking at one man bands not larger companies. With one man bands its usually cheaper as less overheads as well as person working direct so genersly get better workmanship. Going via larger companies you may end up with a lazy worker or a lesser quality.

Dinner will be chips,salad and fish.

exactly, its pretty much impossible to be "off sugar" unless you prepare all your own meals from the raw products, no sources from a packet or bottle either

anything that comes out of a packet (including bread) or a can has sugar in it

You wouldn't have to if you harvested everything wild.

Do you pretend your batman?

No, but I have special government permission to bonk women on the head and take them back to my cave for cultural reasons.

One of the benefits of having a bloke like ScoMo in office...

To be fair, nothing he has posted has been relevant to the topic at hand.

anyone who has a wife

So, letting them have their way makes the husband happy? f**k that.
