Treadmill Maintenance (zero faults)

$140

Footscray VIC 3011, Australia

11th Jul 2025

This is a Sole F85 treadmill. There is nothing wrong with it (as far as I know). It's sort of been rotting in my living room and I'd like to start using it. In fact my only complaint would be that it's at a slight angle when walking when it should be 0 degrees incline. Aim is the following: 1)Lubricate the thing and kindly show me how to do it properly too. Ideally you have some lubricant please. 2)Help me fix the angle of the treadmill, if in fact it has an angle issue. I hope the fix for this is very quick. 3)General servicing. I want to actually use it regularly now and I figure it could use a bit of care before I start.

Manual roller shutter maintenance

$200

Footscray VIC, Australia

7th Feb 2022

I have two manual roller blinds that need fixing (both in bedrooms). One is in working order but the bracket that holds the open/close winder has come loose from the wall. It needs to be reattached and may need a piece of wood put behind it to give the screws something to grip onto. The other one is stuck (half open) and the wire inside the mechanism needs to be either unstuck or replaced. I have a painter working on the house this week so would ideally like this done asap so that they can paint after the blinds have been fixed. - Due date: Before Friday, 11th Feb 2022
