Plenty of parking in front of my building! Please review the attached photos prior to providing an offer. As you can see the left switch popped out but still works.

Install light box, including wiring

$200

Collingwood VIC 3066, Australia

24th Jan 2026

Hey team, looking for a sparky or confident handyman to help us swap over the main outdoor signage at our venue in Collingwood. ​We are replacing the existing square "Bodriggy" sign with our new round "Local Brewing Co." light box. ​The Details: ​Removal: Take down the existing square light box (see photos). ​Installation: Mount the new round light box in the same spot. ​Electrical: The power feed is already there from the old sign. You'll need to disconnect the old one and wire up the new one (standard 240v connection). ​Mounting: There is an existing metal arm/plate on the wall (see pics). You may need to drill new holes or adapt the new bracket (shown in the last photo) to fit the existing arm. Or it could go into the existing plate. ​Important: ​Height: The sign is on the second story facade. You will definitely need a very tall extension ladder or a scaffold. Please only bid if you have the right gear to reach this height safely. ​Timing: Flexible, but ideally done tomorrow at 9.30am ​Check the attached photos for the current bracket setup and the new sign connections. Let me know if you have any questions!

Replace faulty pull-cord light switch (electrician)

$100

Fitzroy North VIC, Australia

18th Jan 2026

One of two pull-cord pendant lights has stopped working — the pull string no longer clicks or switches the light on. House is older (Fitzroy North). Looking for a like-for-like replacement of the pull-cord switch mechanism to make the light functional. No changes to wiring or layout required. Located in Fitzroy North. Flexible on timing. Please quote for parts and labour. Small, quick job — happy to fit in around another nearby job if convenient.

Tim was great to work with. Clear and upfront communication, arrived as scheduled, and explained the issue and options before proceeding. He replaced the faulty pull-cord switch efficiently and made sure everything was working properly before leaving. Professional, knowledgeable, and easy to deal with — would happily recommend.
