OH a brickie on the Gold Coast, and there seems to be plenty of work about (at the minute at least!). He acclimatised to working in the heat quite quickly. They build a brick veneer around a timber frame, so are in the shade a bit, and follow the shade around the house if they can! It's only supposed to be three months or so of really hot weather. It's autumn now, and although cold first thing, by about 7am it's warming up outside, and reaching about 25 degrees and sunny, which is lovely.
We're not in the busiest part (Surfers Paradise/Southport), but are still within 20 mins drive, and 20 mins from the theme parks too, which are all here. Plus, there are beautiful beaches, and the rural and rainforest-like hinterland areas within a short drive. It ticks all the right boxes for us!
It's a really hard decision, good luck with it.
