I have an Apex parcel/mail letterbox to be installed in a colourbond fence. The letterbox has arrived but the fencing materials haven’t.

Install security cameras, gate lock, smoke alarms, plus tip run.
$500
Smithfield QLD 4878, Australia
29th Oct 2026
As above. Images attached of the things I have to install. The gate lock might need someone with a bit of common sense (it's defeated me!). Some of the smoke alarms and security cameras might need to be placed quite high - it's a double story house - will obviously need a ladder (I do have one of those multi-fold ones). Another job I'd really like done is to remove 2 box a/c's (and patch one wall for painting, replace the sliding window for the other). Price would be for the whole job, assuming minimum 5hrs work please

Title: Handyman Wanted – Multiple Jobs + Potential Kitchen Update Looking for a reliable, experienced and affordable handyman to help with a few jobs around my home. Jobs required: * Install 2 ceiling fans (replace) * Install 2 TV wall brackets and mount TVs, including connecting the surround sound systems onto wall. * Potential kitchen refresh, including installing a new benchtop and painting kitchen cupboards. Ideally, I’d love to find someone who can handle multiple jobs at a fair price rather than having to hire different tradespeople for everything. I’m happy to discuss the work, provide photos and agree on a reasonable price upfront. There may be additional work available for the right person. Please include your experience, availability and best price in your offer. I’m looking for someone who takes pride in their work, is reliable and offers good value for money. Thanks!
