25.01.2022 Installation of a 2x3m Garden shed. With the landscaping already completed, the final thing this backyard needed was a perfectly sized shed for storage. A few pot plants later and the backyard is finished! #handyman #handymanservices #installation #install #backyard #shed #storage #garden #melbourne #oddjobs
23.01.2022 A basic 3x3m shed slab installed mid last year. It was the starting point for a very nice timber shed/studio which we built on top not too long after - more photos of that soon. #handyman #handymanservices #concrete #concreting #shed #studio #build #building #melbourne #suburbs #custom #project #manspace
23.01.2022 Architraves and trims installed. Once the timber floor is in, the skirting boards can follow. #handyman #handymanservices #finishingtouches #builder #construction #extensions #renovation #home #house #ownerbuilder #homestretch #melbourne #building #homerenovation
21.01.2022 Creating an opening between these two rooms. The study next door will now become a new spacious walk in wardrobe! Plastered, primed and ready for top coats of paint and carpet! #wardrobe #bedroom #renovation #renovate #storagesolutions #homedecor #builder #handyman #handymanservices #plastering #melbourne

17.01.2022 Repair of an old fireplace flue hole which over time had begun to rot out due to a water leak. Amazingly, the owner had previously been told a simple fix was not possible as the shiplap timber is not made anymore, or that plastering the entire roof would be the only option for a neat finish. A few hours and a coats of stain later, and you’d never know there was a hole there in the first place. #fix #handyman #handymanservices #builder #roof #shiplap #shiplapceiling #fireplace #flue #maintenance #homerenovation #homerenovations #melbourne
16.01.2022 Merbau. The common choice for decks, screens, fences, bench seats - or in this case, pool pump housing! #merbau #decking #screen #fencing #building #carpentry #handyman #handymanservices #melbourne #garden #pool #lawn
15.01.2022 Adding insulation is never a fun job, but an important one. It's not just to ensure mandatory 6 star energy ratings are met where required - it plays a crucial role in the heating, cooling and sound absorption of any new build or extension. These internal walls were given treatment with Sound Shield to help reduce sound transfer between rooms, and with standard R5.0 ceiling insulation to go in the roof. #handyman #handymanservices #insulation #batts #building #homeextension #walls #melbourne #framing
14.01.2022 New picket fence - ready to paint! Built to section off a small piece of the garden to give a dedicated space for the fur baby. #fence #picketfence #handyman #handymanservices #melbourne #fencing #furbaby #backyard #backyardgarden #built #garden #woof
12.01.2022 Termites had made a meal of this windowsill. Replaced and ready for a coat of paint. Looking good again! #handyman #handymanservices #oddjobs #repairs #maintenance #termites #chomppachewychomp #melbourne
10.01.2022 Being new to this social media caper, the best thing to post would be a few of our favorite jobs! This was the start of an entire inside makeover. First stop - removal of 4 large decorative fibro columns. These things were HEAVY! Unfortunately, the tiling was completed around the columns, exposing the concrete slab in the hall way - luckily there were just enough spare tiles from the original tiling (done in 2006!) to be able to fill the gaps. No one would ever know.... #homerenovation #remodel #handymanservices #tiling #demolition #melbourne #homemaintenance #beforeandafter #hallway
09.01.2022 Some days are spent crawling around working in dusty roof spaces or under houses...but every now and again, you get a view like this while you work! What a day to be working outside! #officewithaview #country #melbourne #victoria #whittlesea #kinglake #builder #handyman #handymanservices #views #viewsofmelbourne #lockdown #spring #springtime
09.01.2022 Small two bedroom extension framed up just prior to Christmas. Just one piece of this owner builde home renovation/building process. #renovation #handyman #carpentry #melbourne #ownerbuilder #extension #handymanservices

09.01.2022 A nice little garden shed/studio. Done on a budget, with repurposed windows. We'll show more photos of the inside fit out in another post. #manspace #shed #creativespace #workshop #hobby #building #handyman #handyman #melbourne #projects
08.01.2022 Following from yesterday's tiling post - the same hallway also recieved a complete make over with VJ panneling to 950mm, which was continued throughout the formal areas of the house. The walls were coated with textured paint in their previous life, so a full sand and finish was required to the upper half of the walls before the panneling could be installed. Dusty work! Still, and incredible change to the feel of the house (You may notice a new doorway in the hall...more on th...at in a future post!) #homemakeover #pannelling #interiordesign #decor #country #style #handyman #renovation #melbourne #house #home See more
08.01.2022 Framing out a small concealed comms area, above a powder room which also happens to be beneath a staircase. Access under stairs is never easy - even harder when having to work around masses of existing cables. Once plastered, you’ll never know the amount of tech which is hiding above... #building #builder #handyman #handymanservices #melbourne #carpentry #framing #technology #comms #retrofit #renovation #ownerbuilder #extensions #project

07.01.2022 Laying buffalo turf to complete this brilliant backyard. Ready for a summer of entertaining. #turf #grass #lawn #backyardgarden #backyard #landscaping #dirt #hotwork #35degrees #handyman #handymanservices #melbourne
06.01.2022 A simple and effective divider wall installed into a double garage to create a separate usable space, with enough space to the right to still park a car. Perfect for a study desk, TV, gym or creative space that isn't visible when the garage door is open to the street. This one, while free standing is attached to warehouse shelving in the otherwise providing storage space, and offering additional support to the wall without having to anchor permanently to the floor. It could be removed neatly and cleanly if no longer needed in the future. #handyman #handymanservices #wall #garage #garagegoals #roomdivider #space #creativespace #homegym #building #carpentry #melbourne
04.01.2022 A strange bedroom with an external door instead of window. The wall is shared with the back corner of the garage. Replaced the existing door with a timber window, and installed a new doorway for access through to the garage. The room was then later opened into the hallway - more on that in another post.... #handyman #handymanservices #door #window #installation #melbourne #painting #renovation #homereno #garage

02.01.2022 Something a little different. Recycled hardwood fence pailings used for a feature wall in a small home studio. These were the real deal - old and weathered with paint and scratches from their previous life as a fence. Simple but effective feature wall. Also wanted was a matching hanging light fixture. We managed to put together this used some left over pailings surrounding three low voltage LED downlights. ... #building #decoration #decor #recycle #upcycle #lighting #featurewall #handyman #handymanservices #homestudio #guitar #music #studio #melbourne

02.01.2022 New doorway installed in Doreen - to allow extra access to the bathroom and provide better access between living spaces. A neat cut means no additional painting or plaster work. #newroom #handymanservices... #handyman #doorway #homereno #homerenovation #painted #melbourne #neatcut #renovation #renovationproject See more
