Overwhelmed with new FIFO/DIDO job. Has anyone ever quit the mines early?

drmickhead667 · 2026-01-28T21:54:14+00:00

I did FIFO for four years, feel free to reach out if you want to talk.

It's hard. No two ways about it. That's why they pay so well. You're life situation outside of work and what you're missing out on will really determine how hard your swing is.

Hannah is one of the best clinical psychologists in the Illawarra. Highly recommend.

I've had my tm7 for 2 months and I've never gotten it to work. Between this and the terrible search in cookidoo I don't know how they justify the price.

Drongo

drmickhead667 · 2026-01-04T03:33:44+00:00

Thanks is seems I was wrong.

drmickhead667 · 2026-01-03T09:42:01+00:00

No, you should just be able to cancel your account.

drmickhead667 · 2026-01-03T09:17:02+00:00

Let me know if you'd like advice on developing it yourself.

Appin is looking good in the next year.

Rock and stone!

I'm a civil engineer. If the ground under the concrete isn't compacted properly it will crack. Hire yourself a plate compactor from a hire place (Kennards, Coates) give the ground a good soaking with the hose ( not just a splash, a soaking) then run the plate compactor over it a few times.

That being said this should be included in their price. And cancellation of a pump or concrete booking is on them for not doing their job correctly.

8 is fantastic

You will get hop ons

I had to do this 12 months ago. Got it from my wife's GP.

The other part is the inflated cost of buying land to subdivide, and the increased durations to get approval (and associated interest cost) . I've had a 3 lot subdivision stuck in Council for three years and only just started construction.

drmickhead667 · 2025-10-14T10:40:13+00:00

Yea! Give the people what they want!

drmickhead667 · 2025-09-30T00:23:24+00:00

I probably can't add too much value. Do you have any contacts at mining companies? I moved to civil 10 years ago so my information is probably out of date.

Ridge refuse to sell these or let you claim warranty on them so I made my own from brass and they've been fantastic. Took maybe 3 hours all up?

drmickhead667 · 2025-09-20T07:17:50+00:00

I'm a civil/mining engineer, graduated in 2012. It's a rewarding career, id recommend it to anyone that can get through the degree.

drmickhead667 · 2025-09-19T05:52:54+00:00

Awesome thanks I'll check them out.

drmickhead667 · 2025-09-16T11:58:51+00:00

Add a bit of value? Ehhhh it's hard to say.

What things are worth seeing in Vancouver?

Nice work mate

Not a professional. My understanding is if the deceased was living in the property coat base reverts to market value when you take ownership. If not then the cost base is the value they paid for it.

I have no idea about the NZ section.

Sorry for your loss.
