Repair water-damaged exterior MDF door

$350

Footscray VIC, Australia

8th Jun 2026

Repair water-damaged exterior MDF door (Footscray, Melbourne) Looking for a handyman or carpenter to repair water damage to the bottom of an exterior MDF door. Damage limited to the lower edge and lower-right corner where rainwater has occasionally gotten underneath the door during heavy weather. The MDF has swollen and delaminated in this area (see photos). I'd like the damaged material assessed and repaired where practical rather than replacing the entire door. - Remove/cut back damaged and loose MDF. - Rebuild/fill damaged area with a suitable exterior-grade product. - Sand smooth and prepare for painting. - Seal the repaired area against future moisture. - Install a suitable solution to reduce future water ingress (e.g. door sweep, weather seal, drip strip, aluminium kick plate, or similar). Can pay separately for costs of the product itself. Open to quotes after inspection if additional work is required, but looking for a cost-effective repair rather than door replacement.

Fix bifold door alignment

$300

Footscray VIC 3011, Australia

7th Jun 2026

Since we moved in, the main door of this bifold has always been slightly misaligned (gap at the bottom and tight at the top). This season it’s particularly bad to point where the door doesn’t open/close properly. I notice that the door has a slight drop to it. Main iob - fix the main door alignment ideally getting it fully plum, balanced all around. Secondary job (time/cost depending) - general service of the bifolds. Replace aging seal strips (10y plus), clean/lube/adjust hinges. Discuss new handle hardware and possible painting. Keen on a rough cost for the main job, and whether the service is worth doing in the same visit. I’m ideally after someone who does a lot of work with bifolds, probably glazier/window-and-door installer rather than a general contractor.

Treadmill Maintenance (zero faults)

$140

Footscray VIC 3011, Australia

11th Jul 2025

This is a Sole F85 treadmill. There is nothing wrong with it (as far as I know). It's sort of been rotting in my living room and I'd like to start using it. In fact my only complaint would be that it's at a slight angle when walking when it should be 0 degrees incline. Aim is the following: 1)Lubricate the thing and kindly show me how to do it properly too. Ideally you have some lubricant please. 2)Help me fix the angle of the treadmill, if in fact it has an angle issue. I hope the fix for this is very quick. 3)General servicing. I want to actually use it regularly now and I figure it could use a bit of care before I start.
