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.
