Samwager04 Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 That's great news mate , where you flying to ? I've read some of your posts , I'm a carpenter as well looking to book a date for my skills test soon . Did you ship your tools out or you buying new out there ? I don't know what to do as I'm going to rent my house out here and leaving the furniture so won't really need to ship anything big , trying to find out cost of shipping tools or buying new when I'm there ?

Hey Sam,thanks. We're flying to Perth in three weeks. I shipped all my tools out last Monday along with a few other bits. We went with seven seas move cube which were really good and reasonable. We had there biggest cube which was about £900, but if your just shipping tools I think the small one would do which would be about £450. Have you gone through vetassess for your skills? If you need to know anything give me a shout! Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May I just ask, purely out of curiosity, have you got work or family to go to? Hey gbuss, no we don't have family but have got a couple of mates in Perth who are in the same trade as me, and have been there a few years already, so have plenty of contacts to put me in touch with. So hopefully that will open some doors!where are you heading? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gareth 666 Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 I must say both me and the mrs are impressed with your 3 week turn around. We have Tassie SS and are just waiting to do our meds in Feb. All of our other documents are uploaded and we have a CO. We'd like to think that we'll be ready to go by sept, end of the year latest so we don't have to make a separate validating trip. I'd love to have a job before we go but if push comes to shove then we'll go on a wing and a prayer!! Hope everything goes well for you. Cheers, Gareth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I can say is just hang in there and don't give up on your dream!This process will test your patience to the max and the waiting can be unbearable at times.but it all becomes worth while when you get that email saying the golden tickets have been granted!:biggrin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
