Repair table - fill, clamp and tighten
$200
South Melbourne, Victoria
25th Feb 2025
Our table is in need of repair. Looking for someone who can address the long cracks by removing the old filler, refilling, clamping shut and also tightening all the screws underneath. I defer to you whether sanding may also be needed, and / or strengthening some extra wood underneath to help keep it tight. We live in a carpeted apartment (so no backyard) but would be comfortable with this happening on tarps which we could provide. I am on maternity leave so could facilitate this happening during the day time. I’m aware fixes to this table will be ultimately temporary but I’m looking for a result that’s more safe, stable and with a more cleanable surface for everyday life.

Picture / Mirror Hanging handy man
$200
South Melbourne VIC 3205, Australia
23rd Jan 2025
Hi, I was after a handy man to come and hang 4 framed pictures and 1 canvas print on various plasterboard walls in my house along with a wall hung mirror (50cm x 135cm) and coat hook. None of the pictures are of any value and should be straight forward. It is a project I don't want to attempt myself and the sizes of each item vary (please refer to pics). I also, don't have any tools or wall hooks. But I can buy wall hooks if need be. I work from home and can be flexible. Thanks Mark


Hamish was a very nice guy and did everything I asked. Would definitely hire again.

A couple of bolts on our food processor have come loose, I’m not able to get there and the tools aren’t there. They bolts are easily accessible from the outside and a hex is on the other side of the bolt which will need to be held so it doesn’t spin while tightening. I need this job done asap please, it’s the quickest $50.00 you’re likely to make. Literally a 2 minute job. - Due date: Needs to be done on Thursday, 1 December 2022
