Assistance hanging curtains

$130

Kensington VIC 3031, Australia

27th May 2026

Hi there - I need some help installing a set of IKEA curtains in my bedroom. We previously tried to install them with limited success - one side of the bedroom appears to just be plasterboard, so there wasn’t much to attach the bracket to (so unfortunately they just fell down). If anyone has a creative solution to install the curtain rod, I would be very appreciative

Samuel did a great job - very knowledgeable and got a tricky job done. Would recommend!

Fix appartment front & balcony door

$150

Kensington VIC 3031, Australia

14th May 2026

Looking for an experienced tradie to fix our two door issues in our rental apartment: Front door: The apartment door consistently difficult to open, requiring significant effort to pull it open. The sticking occurs along the handle side of the door frame. Back balcony door: door handle shifts and makes it at times difficult to shut the door as the locks don’t align well. Needs to be tighter or the like.

Great all round! Did exactly as required and promptly!

Garage door rewire both ends and install new machine

Single sectional garage door wires need replaced retensioned and install the new machine I've already bought

Eddi is an absolute legend. Hired him to install a Chamberlain garage door opener, but the job turned out far more complex than expected due to tangled cables, misaligned drums, and a tilted door. He didn't flinch. Worked through every issue methodically until the door was rebalanced and the new opener was running perfectly. Patient, skilled, and genuinely cares about getting it right. Would hire again without hesitation. 5 stars easily deserved

Replace ceiling fan

$85

Melbourne City VIC, Australia

15th Feb 2026

Hi! I’m looking for someone to replace an existing ceiling fan with a new one. This is a like-for-like swap. The old fan is currently installed (unsure if working) and I’m replacing it with the new red fan — see photos. Scope: • Remove and dispose of old ceiling fan • Install new fan in the same location • Connect to existing wiring - don’t worry about testing it I’ll be able to do the rest. Details: • ceiling height: approx 3m - 3.4m • Easy access to the job • New fan already on-site • No new wiring required — just connecting the existing wires to the new fan Looking for someone experienced who can do it neatly and safely. Preferably tonight.

So onto it! Thank you tyler!

Kensington VIC, Australia

Permanent fixtures needed to hang some quite heavy and large art pieces. Some not so heavy or large. But I want to be able to move the pieces when needed, so all need to be able to hold the heavier ones. 5 x inside pictures 1 x inside key hanger 2 x outside on the deck - would need a drill/screw that could go into brick (see picture) You would provide everything needed i.e. the drill, the right type of screws to make permanent fixtures in the walls etc. A level etc. After work Monday to Friday or early on a weekend day. No rush, but want the job done properly :)

Incredible! Efficient and quality work. Would recommend highly!
