Remove old letterbox attachments from metal fence

$100

Newtown NSW, Australia

4th Oct 2025

We've just removed an old, rusted letterbox from our front metal fence, but the two screws that were attaching it are still stuck in the fence, along with a small but sharp scrap of metal from the base of the letterbox. The screws are very old, and my attempts to get them out using a screwdriver have failed. I'm hoping someone with more tools and skills can remove the screws altogether – or, if that proves impossible, at least remove the scrap of metal left behind by the letterbox, as it's sharp and could cut somebody if left on the fence. A couple of photos attached – one from above, one from below. The two screws are either side of the larger circle in the middle. 

Careful work completed quickly and with great communication - highly recommended.

Airconditioner maintenance (re-post)

$200

Newtown NSW 2042, Australia

20th Feb 2022

***Reposting task with lower cost as requested by a few Airtaskers*** Air conditioning in house can be turned on for 4 different areas of the house, on have issues in 2 of the areas. 1) in the main Bedroom the air conditioner has become very loud and does not cool like it used to 2) Turing the the air con for study/office currently causes a leak in the roof of an adjoining toilet. This does not happen when it is raining only occurs if we have the air on on for this room for a while. (Photo of leak coming through roof in toilet attached) Air conditioning only installed just before we moved in about 3 years ago and it is not used frequently. Access seems very reasonable (based on me having 0 experience in the field) but I can see what appear to be several access points (2 photos attached) upstairs where the issues are and the attic has access also (2 Photos attached)

Really lovely guy, who took the time to explain what was going on - showed us what he had to do and why he had to do it. And he even checked the rest of the place for us. Highly recommended.
