Fix Flyscreen and Lock

$85

O'Connor ACT, Australia

4th Jun 2025

The netting on the flyscreen has come off. It flyscreen needs to be put back into the door frame. The door lock has come loose and needs to be screwed back in. Just a heads-up—the owner noted that the flyscreen has an oversized frame, so finding the right mesh might be a bit tricky - although I think the mesh just needs to be resecured in this case?

Carry out maintenance and repairs to a garden irrigation system.

$350

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.

Terrific tradesman.
