Handy person to help me aligning some TVs

$45

Tuggeranong ACT, Australia

19th Nov 2025

I got a job to be done but for safety reasons I need a person to do it with me. We will: 1- Put the TVs down. 2- Collect model and serial number. 3- Work out why they are out of alignment, fix the problem. 4- Put the TVs up again. Commercial environment to start at 3 pm sharp. I will provide tools and so on. Reason to hire someone is because it is a 2-person job. Place the offer for 1 hour of your work and we can talk about additional hours later if that is the case. But if you prefer to put an offer for the job, I forecast it will take 2 hours, maybe 2.5 hours.

Super ponctual! Nice guy and polite

Griffith ACT, Australia

11th May 2025

I have an irrigation system that runs off two taps. One in the front yard and one in the backyard. The system in backyard has six stations running from an old upright garden tap. The line splits into six lines and solenoids. The manifold line is split and needs replacing. I would like to take the opportunity to reconfigure the inlet, removing the tap and creating a better manifold connection. It is currently very difficult to conduct maintenance like solenoid replacement, etc. The system runs off an automatic wi-fi timer that works very well.
