A bain marie installed and the old one removed and taken to tip.

$200

Newtown, New South Wales

21st Oct 2025

A bain marie needs to be installed. The old one needs to be removed. The new trolley has no base and I believe the expectation is to slot trays into sections which could form a base, however this unit is slightly smaller and our existing trays do not fit. An entire sheet metal may need to be welded to the base to create a platform. Fortunately, the unit itself has a bit of "give" so we could use some of our existing trays in it but it will be cosy. Another issue is that the water drainage pipe is very weirdly located if we could remove the fold out tray from the exiting unit and have it welded to the new unit that would mitigate the issue of someone poking themselves. However, the fold out platform will have to be permanent as it can't fold with the outlet pipe in the way (or maybe to just some degree but not fold flush). This platform is also important to lunch crews as it allows them to rest the plates on it during service. There is power already. If you want to come and look beforehand please let me know.

Fix kitchen sink pipes for dishwasher

$400

Newtown NSW, Australia

16th Oct 2025

We had a dishwasher installed last week. It’s not draining water, bottom of dishwasher is flooding and not from a dirty filter. On the install, the guy said the pipes are holding water at the bottom bend (and the pipe the goes back upwards through the wall to outside) and also the pipe leaked quite a bit when he was working on the spiget. They may need to be rerouted to drain properly out (through a masonry wall). Looking for a qualified licenced plumber

Remove old letterbox attachments from metal fence

$100

Newtown NSW, Australia

4th Oct 2025

We've just removed an old, rusted letterbox from our front metal fence, but the two screws that were attaching it are still stuck in the fence, along with a small but sharp scrap of metal from the base of the letterbox. The screws are very old, and my attempts to get them out using a screwdriver have failed. I'm hoping someone with more tools and skills can remove the screws altogether – or, if that proves impossible, at least remove the scrap of metal left behind by the letterbox, as it's sharp and could cut somebody if left on the fence. A couple of photos attached – one from above, one from below. The two screws are either side of the larger circle in the middle. 

Careful work completed quickly and with great communication - highly recommended.

Install a curtain rail and repair holes

$150

Newtown NSW 2042, Australia

29th May 2025

This is trickier than it sounds due to the material of the walls which seems to be some kind of hollow brick so neither the standard method for solid brick nor gyprock will do. The existing curtain rail needs to be lowered due to the installation of an air conditioner. There may be various other jobs we will offer as well (separate to this)

Good job, Tim was on time and completed the job well.

Airconditioner maintenance (re-post)

$200

Newtown NSW 2042, Australia

20th Feb 2022

***Reposting task with lower cost as requested by a few Airtaskers*** Air conditioning in house can be turned on for 4 different areas of the house, on have issues in 2 of the areas. 1) in the main Bedroom the air conditioner has become very loud and does not cool like it used to 2) Turing the the air con for study/office currently causes a leak in the roof of an adjoining toilet. This does not happen when it is raining only occurs if we have the air on on for this room for a while. (Photo of leak coming through roof in toilet attached) Air conditioning only installed just before we moved in about 3 years ago and it is not used frequently. Access seems very reasonable (based on me having 0 experience in the field) but I can see what appear to be several access points (2 photos attached) upstairs where the issues are and the attic has access also (2 Photos attached)

Really lovely guy, who took the time to explain what was going on - showed us what he had to do and why he had to do it. And he even checked the rest of the place for us. Highly recommended.
