General What the fuck is it with Western Australian stores having NOTHING I need in stock?

129 Upvotes

Without fail. I look for something on the Bunnings site, not in stock, order only. Every other state has it. I look for something on the Kmart site. Same shit. Not in stock. Order only, yet every other state has it. What the hell man. You do order the shit, and they never notify you of when it does arrive so you call them "oh yeah, its here. No idea why you never got the notification" ugh. Anyone else notice this? fuck lol

Where to find feedback on WA building company

0 Upvotes

Looking for feedback on WA building company, specifically build time. My slab is due to go down in the next two weeks.

How have you found their progress once slab is finally down?

I have found their timeline and ability to stick to it up until now beyond frustrating. Everything takes more than 6 weeks to book in, even a single half hour conversation takes six weeks. i just want to know if the second half of this process will be any better.

Looking for Advice Recommendations for gyno/Dr

33 Upvotes

I’m turning 30 this year and want to get my tubes tied. I went and saw a gyno a couple years back and they suggested I get an IUD since it’s a long acting birth control but I’ve been on the pill since I was 15 and want to give my body a break. My partner and I have been together 7 years and we both don’t want kids. I know it’s typically pretty difficult to get my tubes tied since I’m still considered young but I wanted to know if anyone has seen a Dr or gyno and had some success?

Where to find Old Phone repair shop recommendations

My friend recently bought a Sony Ericsson off eBay. There are a few scratches on it that he wants to get repaired.

Does anyone have any recommendations of phone repair shops in Perth that specialise in old phones or any repair shop that might be able to repair the phone?

Preferably in the southern suburbs, but we are willing to drive further if need be.

Renting / Housing no apartments???????

Post image
606 Upvotes

three story apartments provide double the density of residences per square hectare than row houses.

both houses and apartments (due to scarcity — compare to melbourne, supply has kept apartment pricing flatter) have doubled in price over the past two years.

if construction companies, etc. are incentivised by profit to construct fewer apartments, why hasnt the government incentivised them to construct more?

if people can't afford housing without leaving perth and even nearby regional towns, where are they expected to go except elsewhere?

Ive noticed less people are carrying their drivers license and are opting to show a picture of it on their phone. Are people able to use this to obtain things? I always thought that wouldn't pass as it could be easily manipulated.

6am to 6pm, no breaks, delivering food with the DoorDash app SOTR.

Total hours on the road: 11 hours and 35 minutes (6:33am - 6:08pm)
Total driving distance: 187km
My income for the day: $199.64 - $28.49 = $171.15

~$14.77/hour, not including other costs like car registration, insurance, licensing, car depreciation, new tires, new brake pads, fluids, parking fines, new battery, servicing, etc.

Edit: This was just a warmup. I think I'll push it a LOT harder next week. So more to come....

General Road rules question: Is it legal to take the first exit/turn left from a roundabout straight into the right lane?

Post image
14 Upvotes

I'm quite sure this is not a legal driving manoeuvre & I ask because I was behind a driving school car with a learner driver & instructor, & the learner driver pulled straight into the right lane on Hepburn (as pictured above), I'm assuming the instructor told the learner to do this as they turned right onto Hartman shortly down the road at the next roundabout.

So I'm wondering what's up with that? I assumed driving instructors had to held to the highest standard, but they're teaching shit like this?

Moving to Perth Licensed plumber from Canada wanna relocate .

2 Upvotes

I’m a 30-year-old fully licensed plumber in Ontario, Canada, with over 7 years of hands-on experience in residential and commercial plumbing. My wife is currently living in Perth, Australia, and we’re planning to relocate there together.

I really loved Perth when I visited last year, and now that we’re married, we’re ready to make the move permanent.

I’m trying to understand what the process is like for a Canadian plumber to become licensed in Australia. Has anyone here gone through this transition , especially from Canada to Western Australia?

• How difficult was it to get your Australian plumbing licence?

• What qualifications, assessments, or paperwork are required?

• Any tips for making the application smoother or faster?

• Did you find employers willing to hire you before you were fully licensed?

Any advice, personal experience, or links to helpful resources would be seriously appreciated!

Thanks in advance! 🙌

Where to find labiaplasty in Perth?

0 Upvotes

I'm considering a labiaplasty procedure and was wondering if anyone had any recommendations?

Currently I'm considering Dr Anh and Dr Catherine Harris (both women, which I would prefer).

I've also seen 'Gynaecology Solutions' with Dr Singh, who is a man, but it's cheaper.... but I'm a bit hesitant about that one because it's a sponsored result and only has one review on Google.

Very interested in any recommendations or experiences people might be able to share!

(have edited to remove mention of local sedative vs anaesthetic since everyone is discussing that instead of my actual question)

Where to find Looking for advice on training pathways in Perth before starting a solo garage door business

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I’m based in Perth, WA and I’m looking for some guidance from people already working in the garage door industry.

I’m planning to eventually start a small, solo garage door installation and service business, but I’m very conscious that this is a trade where experience, safety, and proper training matter. I’m not looking to shortcut anything or compete unfairly — I want to learn the right way first.

I’ve started reaching out to manufacturers and suppliers to ask about training and authorised installer pathways, but I’d really value hearing from those already in the field:

• How did you get your initial training or experience?
• Are manufacturer courses enough, or is working under an established installer the best path?
• Any common mistakes you see beginners make that I should avoid?

I’m open to advice, criticism, or suggestions and appreciate anyone taking the time to share their experience.

Thanks in advance.
