I need someone to install insulation in a few spots where it is missing and cover about 1 foot of exposed water pipes in the attic.

Install under floor insulation

$600

4th Sep 2025

I need insulation installed under the house floor. The house is raised, there is a door that you can enter from, there light that comes through some vents under the house. Refer to photos. Person can crouch in certain areas and crawl in others. I’ve installed about 25 matts already but I’m inexperienced and therefore its time consuming for me, I also work full time during weekdays and my weekends are quite full.

Blake did an excellent job, went above and beyond to explain few things and guide me through the job itself and what material to get. Would definitely recommend and use again.

The wire that connects the handle of my garage door to the latch has snapped. I think it can be repaired with a new piece of wire attached to the existing wire but I don't have the wire, joiners or capability.

Matt came prepared with all the necessary tools and parts. This was an unusual job but Matt was not fazed by this. He came up with a good solution, showed me what he was proposing, and checked to make sure that it was working to my satisfaction. Prompt, friendly and competent. I will definitely work with Matt again and am happy to recommend him to others.

Re-fit kitchen sink to benchtop

$250

Bruce ACT 2617, Australia

30th Aug 2025

My kitchen sink has come loose and dropped from the benchtop cut-out. It looks like it may have been originally held with adhesive/sealant and possibly clips/brackets that have failed or are missing. I need someone to: • Securely re-fix the sink to the benchtop (using proper adhesive/sealant and clips/brackets as needed). • Ensure the sink is watertight and stable. • Supply any necessary mounting hardware (clips, brackets, adhesive/sealant). Notes: • The plumbing is still intact and connected. • Access under the sink is clear.

Excellent experience , would recommend 10/10, quality work and no shortcuts.

Finish off my chicken coop

$250

Kambah ACT, Australia

18th Aug 2025

I need a couple things done with my chicken coop/area. I thought I had finished making it but a few of the buggers keep getting out 🙃 1. A roof (this will be done with just netting / mesh which I have already purchased (some of the chickens are flying over) 2. Moving the pavers that are on the grass currently to the gate (some of the chickens are digging and crawling under) I have attached a few photos. Photo 1 - you’ll see the first fence we put up Photo 2 - shows the pavers I’m talking about that will need to be pushed back onto the fence. But photo 2 also shows the added taller fence we added Photo 3 - just for fun. Added extras - if you are able to remove the veggie patch that is in there, and fix up the bricks around my (hopefully okay) Rosebush. That would be amazing. I have no idea on time and pricing, it shouldn’t be too hard of a job. I’m just too medically unwell achieve it myself, so would love the help. So please correct me if my quote is wrong as I am completely unsure. Thank you!

Very lovely and helpful

Griffith ACT, Australia

I have an irrigation system that runs off two taps. One in the front yard and one in the backyard. The system in backyard has six stations running from an old upright garden tap. The line splits into six lines and solenoids. The manifold line is split and needs replacing. I would like to take the opportunity to reconfigure the inlet, removing the tap and creating a better manifold connection. It is currently very difficult to conduct maintenance like solenoid replacement, etc. The system runs off an automatic wi-fi timer that works very well.
