My past works
How it works
About me
My dad is an automotive painter and avid DIYer. From age 6, we always had projects on the go – house renovations, garden projects, you name it, I have worked on it. There are endless projects that can be done DIY but require skills and knowledge. I have experience across a number of activities, including wall cladding, rendering, painting, restoring items (like bringing old shower screens back to life), fixture replacement, salt damp and crack repairs. Outside the home, I have built garden feature walls, irrigation set up, installed sheds, and made outdoor benches and garden beds.
I regularly get calls from friends to help them solve DIY challenges around the home. Often, they want to bounce ideas off me and problem-solve to find solutions. Most recent discussions have been making a home chook pen, ensuring the fencing is secure and suitable. General fixing of things, like gap filling and plastering, are also popular discussion points.
