Handyman to re-anchor above-TV floating cabinet

Our existing floating cabinet is slowly but surely coming off the wall. Seems like previous builder didn’t do the best job of securing it. Job to be done: * Install new fixings to existing studs (wall is gyprock) * Remove existing caulk and refill as required

From the initial quote, I noticed Dani asked the right questions that indicated he was experienced. On the scheduled day, he let me know when he was on his way. Upon arrival, Dani was polite and carried out the work. He did not rush through and the end result speaks volumes. He is a true handyman and his workmanship reflects his experience and attention to detail.

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.

Airconditioner maintenance (re-post)

$200

Newtown NSW 2042, Australia

20th Feb 2022

***Reposting task with lower cost as requested by a few Airtaskers*** Air conditioning in house can be turned on for 4 different areas of the house, on have issues in 2 of the areas. 1) in the main Bedroom the air conditioner has become very loud and does not cool like it used to 2) Turing the the air con for study/office currently causes a leak in the roof of an adjoining toilet. This does not happen when it is raining only occurs if we have the air on on for this room for a while. (Photo of leak coming through roof in toilet attached) Air conditioning only installed just before we moved in about 3 years ago and it is not used frequently. Access seems very reasonable (based on me having 0 experience in the field) but I can see what appear to be several access points (2 photos attached) upstairs where the issues are and the attic has access also (2 Photos attached)

Really lovely guy, who took the time to explain what was going on - showed us what he had to do and why he had to do it. And he even checked the rest of the place for us. Highly recommended.
