Sand and spraypaint my toyota commuter

$800

Cairns QLD, Australia

27th Oct 2024

Hi! My poor old campervan comes fully wrapped in an old very sundamaged silver wrapping. It’s fully cracked to the point where professionals said they wouldn’t take on the job to take it off cause it would take too long scratching it all off. The exterior of the car won’t look amazing anyway as there are lots of bumps and scratches already, so I think it wouldn’t matter too much if it just got sanded off and painted over instead of cleanly getting the wrapping off. I’m looking for someone with experience to help out as I’ve never done anything like it before, as well as a garage or driveway to use as a workplace 😊 If you have any other suggestions to make it look more presentable I wouldn’t mind hearing them too! Thanks

Landscaper needed! Building a rail for my garden stairs 🏡

$650

Bayview Heights QLD, Australia

24th Aug 2024

Build a wooden rail for my landscape stairs. It's on a slope. The price for the job is for your time. I'll pay for all the needed materials myself. Here is a video of the job: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/309u5rzz4bgzb5k50xhm3/Rail-for-Stairs.MOV?rlkey=xymm6yxjy4kqrzdx4xx86c4ra&dl=0 I believe we will need 7 wooden posts, fixed with concrete, and then a timber rail horizontally on top. I have several other landscaping jobs after this, so if we work well together you can expect further work.

William and his father, Geoff, did a fantastic job. While it took a little longer than expected, the result was exactly what I needed. Very professional and knowledgeable. You can't go wrong hiring these guys!

Build 4x kitchen drawers

$5

Manunda QLD, Australia

7th Jun 2024

Looking for quotes to build 4x kitchen drawers for this space. I am happy to paint and put the handles on them, I just need the actual build and also the rails for them installed. The original drawers (pictured) only take up about half the depth of the cabinet and we only have 2. Looking for a deeper drawer that fills up the space more and allows my utensil trays to lay flat.

Came over and quoted the job, thanks so much!
