Install Flat Pack Cubby House - Seaforth
The clients had a fairly large townhouse on the Northern Beaches, however with two children and a Nanny, there was not nearly enough room for the kids needs. They purchased a so called flat pack cubby house (so called because it required lots of cutting of timbers) and Handy Work put it together (constructed it) so the kids had a place for their toys and where they could have outdoor sleep overs with friends.
Partly constructed with my tools in use.
I'm not quite above a "selfie", when I am doing fun work.
The cubby came equipped with steering wheel, telescope and bunk beds
Fit Childproof Plastic Ring Mesh at edge of stairwell - Beacon Hill
The client bought the open plan house before kids and discovered there was a real risk their young daughter could fall over the edge of the lounge and topple down to the heavy wooden stairs a storey below. Not wanting to loose the open feel and look of the room, the discovered a Childproof Plastic Ring Mesh manufactured in New Zealand and had it shipped to Sydney.
Handy Work was commissioned to make a special wedge shaped timber header beam to attach the mesh to then to fit and tension it appropriately.
Install Garden Shed - Manly
To store things like gardening equipment and lawn mowers etc this Northern Beaches client needed a shed. But there was a garden bed incorporating a stone retaining wall in the way and no base to put it on. The retaining wall was dismantled and rebuilt, then back-filled, pavers laid and the shed installed.
Stone wall needed dismantling and rebuilding to hold soil back and pavers were put in place for the shed at the lower level.
Replace Shade Cloth on Pergola - Mosman
The owners had a long life out of the old shade cloth covered pergola but it was now full of holes and tears and needed some attention. Handy Work removed the old stuff and put up new cloth, tensioning it as we went.
Before - Shade Cloth dirty, torn and full of holes
After
Install VOC Barrier & Seal Off Under House - Dee Why
A young lady unfortunately suffered with a rare Chemical and Fungus sensitivity which devastated her life, restricting her capabilities and lifestyle. To assist in her recovery it was necessary to prevent vapours from under the house coming up through the floor. Handy Work was engaged to install a special Vapour Seal using a VOC Barrier to the timber floor and structure, which needed to wrapping and sealing at every stump pier and pipe. She is now progressing well with her rehabilitation.
Install Wardrobe Ventilation in Mould Prone Cupboards - Manly
There had been an ongoing problem with a musky smell on clothes and leather showing mould in this otherwise idealic Northern Beaches home. Handy Work created cross flow ventilation by introducing vents at the top and bottom of all wardrobes and storage cabinets, so that everything smelt fresh.
