Outdoor Blind System Repair/conversion– inspection
$50
East Melbourne VIC, Australia
12th Jan 2026
Outdoor Blind System Replacement – Keeps Breaking in Wind (East Melbourne) Striped is what we have for current system we want same as the black system Looking for an experienced outdoor blind / awning installer to fix an ongoing issue at a residential property in East Melbourne. The current motorised drop-down blinds keep breaking and coming loose, even in light wind. They’re installed using a metal wire guide system, which clearly isn’t suitable. The motors aren’t the problem — the system itself is. A nearby property has a much stronger, wind-resistant blind system that works really well. We want to replace the existing setup with something similar — a proper track-guided or rigid system, not wire cables. ⸻ What We Need • Inspect the current blind setup • Explain why it keeps failing • Recommend a better, wind-safe system • Remove or modify the existing system • Supply and install a strong, long-lasting replacement • Reuse existing motors if possible (or advise if new ones are needed) ⸻ Fabric • Happy to reuse the existing fabric if it’s suitable (preferred option we like the colour) • Or replace it with a similar or better outdoor fabric that handles wind ⸻ Important This isn’t a handyman fix or quick repair. We’re after a proper long-term solution from someone who knows outdoor blinds. Photos will be provided showing: • The current broken system • Where it’s failing • The nearby system we want to match ⸻ Please Only Reply If • You have experience with outdoor blinds / awnings • You’ve installed wind-resistant systems before • You don’t use wire guide systems • You can show examples of similar work ⸻ When Replying, Please Include • Your experience • Photos or examples of similar jobs • What system you’d recommend • Availability to inspect in East Melbourne
Professional honest would highly recommend for anyone to use. He has a great work acumen and results and job.

Fix antique hardwood bedframe
$150
East Melbourne VIC, Australia
13th Nov 2025
Hi, I have a heavy, antique hardwood timber bedframe from marketplace that is attached at each corner by a singular bolt. This causes the side pieces to rotate and is not very secure. I’ve tried securing with a socket wrench and even using a power drill from Bunnings to drill a pilot hole and add a secondary bolt but I wasn’t able to drill the bolt in for some reason and it got stuck. Am looking for a carpenter who might be able to drill in a secondary bolt or another way to secure. Also as an aside, if you can also drill a hole in the wall to hang a print that would be awesome and a bit extra.
