She Bangs

It's a long story, but I finally made the switch to a new domain suffix. What a PIA!

Excited to be here. The first ToolSchool workshop is already in the planning!

What a crappy way to end my time in Melbourne. I had one other woman not pay me at the very start, so a Brunswick woman's failure to pay for my visit to install her door handles last week book- ends that unethical behaviour. 😭

I had a bad feeling about Gerii's job, but ignored it. We had troubles onsite, as happens sometimes, and although I stayed super late at her request to troubleshoot, I got thanked with ghosting and not paying her bill. 👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼

So disappointing when people take advantage of invoice arrangements. I've been so grateful that mostly I've had incredible clients who pay super promptly. And of course I have always discounted or waived charges when appropriate.

Because the thing is we all have bad days at work. Sometimes mistakes are made. But I'll guarantee that your employer still pays YOU for turning up to work. So how dare you not pay a tradie, especially when you've agreed to transparent terms and conditions.

Sometimes some people are just bad apples.

Any lady tradies who want more details so you don't get stung, reach out via DM for client info. Watch out... and don't ignore your gut instincts!

It's been a privilege.

There aren't many women in the trades, so we're pretty supportive of each other. If you know me, you know She Bangs has always been open & collaborative, so since the start I've been happy to share the love and refer clients on.

Now that I am leaving Melbourne, giving people businesses to turn to is so important to me. The ones below are people I respect and would send my people to any day of the week. Some have their own websites, others are only on Instagram. (You can check my following list for other businesses, including some Australia-wide).

It's been so lovely to see my clients before I head off. Shona started her D-I-Y/reno journey with me and yesterday she managed to nab free tools and some filler from the Banging Warehouse. :)

Thanks Shona, and everybody, who has sent me lovely messages. 🥰

I've been wanting to get this off the ground for ages. Rescue, Reuse & Upcycle - a way to redistribute leftover materials, tools & products for your D-I-Y project.

Have you thought about getting energy efficient heating and cooling? As winter approaches, you may want to take advantage of the government rebates. If you're like me, you may not know much about RCACs.

Well, I did some research, and now I know. Maybe this will inform you too!

Things I learnt about reverse cycle air conditioners recently that may help you too

She Bangs is relocating to SE QLD. As of May, I will no longer be servicing Melbourne. I'd like to take the opportunity to thank the awesome community here who have provided so much support. You have been an absolute inspiration, and I am incredibly grateful.

I am looking forward to bring ToolSchool to the women of Toowoomba! Wish me luck!
