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.
