Mel is a real gentleman. Collected my 2 lamps that required rewiring within an hour or two. They were dropped off to me in less than 24 hours. Mel explained what he had done, rewired & showed me they were working. Any further handy person work that I require. I'll be asking Mel. Thank you for your utmost professionalism, Mel.

Install two pendant lights - they will be replacing downlights

$10

Elwood VIC 3184, Australia

10th May 2026

Two pendants need installing in the place of down lights. The down lights are in a grid of four so we will disconnect two. We also want to add two dimmers - one for the new pendants and another for separate lights that are on their own switch. We have all the fittings. The pendants are made out of papier mache and coffee beans, so not heavy but not paper light.

Efficient and resourceful, great communication and easy to work with. Highly recommended!
