“"Look no further, because I’m the person who can get the job done! I’m at my best when using my hands to fix or build things, it comes naturally to me and I enjoy it! I’m a practical person and I can’t imagine myself sitting at a desk and staring at a screen all day. Getting down and dirty, whether it’s maintenance, building a house or installing a pipe, is my kind of thing – I didn’t choose the tradie life, the tradie life chose me! Funnel-web spiders are experts at building and constructing things, they've got it sorted out."”
