Repair sagging/separated bottom corner of exterior timber door

$100

Newtown NSW 2042, Australia

29th Sep 2026

I have an exterior timber door/gate where the bottom corner joint has separated and dropped, causing the bottom of the door to catch/drag on the ground when it swings. I need an experienced handyman/carpenter to repair and reinforce this lower corner so it is structurally sound and the door can swing freely without contacting the ground. Important: I am NOT asking for the door to be made to close into the surrounding frame. The timber has swollen/expanded considerably from weather/moisture and currently cannot safely be forced closed. Please do not plane, force, bend or otherwise modify the door simply to make it close unless discussed with me first. Forcing it closed could damage the frame/panels. The job is specifically to: * Lift/re-align the sagging bottom corner enough to restore clearance from the ground. * Pull/secure the separated bottom rail and vertical stile back into a structurally sound position. * Repair/reinforce the failed joint using an appropriate method — e.g. exterior wood adhesive, suitable exterior/structural screws, brackets/plates or other carpentry reinforcement as appropriate. * Deal appropriately with the small amount of damaged/weathered timber around the bottom of the joint if it affects the repair. * Ensure the repaired corner remains supported after the temporary prop/clamp is removed. * Test that the door swings open and back freely without scraping/catching on the ground. I can provide photos showing the separated joint and damaged corner. Success criteria: the lower corner is solid and reinforced, the sag/drop is substantially corrected, and the door swings freely. The door does not need to latch or close into the doorway. Please bring the appropriate clamps, drill/driver, exterior-rated fixings/adhesive and any other tools/materials required.

Gyprock a small section of ceiling

$600

Newtown NSW 2042, Australia

20th Aug 2026

I need a section of gyprock installed in my bathroom ceiling. It was left open to install a high cupboard, but now decided not to proceed with a cupboard, so the space needs to be gyprocked. The area is approx. 1800mm x 600mm. Ceiling height is 3.1m. It will also need a small trim edge. No painting required.

The fitting of a small section of gyprock ceiling was okay except some small but untidy gaps were left due to the house "being old" (which he could have just filled). I had requested edge trim in my original task description, but he didn't know what that was. I showed him pictures of what edge trim was. After being completely stuffed around the next day when he was supposed to come back to fit it, I finally told him not to bother coming back.
