Odd handyman type jobs

$400

Newtown NSW, Australia

1st Oct 2024

I have a few things I would love a hand with, ideally someone who can do it all and also bring the required supplies, I have written at the end what I assume those are and will obviously cover the cost. Hanging of some paintings 1 x really large canvas (about 1m x 1.5m) inside 2 x medium canvas (about 1m x 1m each) outside Repair outside cupboard - install chip rock wall to brick wall (new material needed) or alternatively shelves can go straight into brick if possible - reinstall exisiting shelves that were removed for water pipe repair work Cover Slanted Gap under driveway gate - build removable under sliding fence blocker on uneven slope, needs to be easily moved for use of gate Ceiling Patches - there is already putty on a few holes from draining out water, needs sanding and patch painting (already have paint, putty but not good sanding stuff). Wall patch - roughly 15cm x 15cm hole to be patched around a gas connection Ceiling Block and Paint - block water stain marks to treat - paint ceiling (small study only, paint provided) Assumption of materials needed - your own general tools - picture wire to hang paintings - sanding paper /block - chip rock and liquid nails - actual nails or screws - treated wood (for under gate) - your own tools I know it’s a random list of things so if you can’t do all that’s ok too! if it’s hard to quote without seeing the space we can just agree on price for straight forward items eg hang painting and then u can review the other tasks when your here and we can add new task for that. Thanks Sarah.

Andrew was amazing, he confirmed everything the day prior to the job. Collected all the materials that would be required and did everything maticulously. He built the perfect solution to cover the angled gap under my rolling gate, built shelves in and exterior cupboard and a bunch of other work. Friendly, professional and a great eye for detail. High recommend.
