**THIS JOB IS REALLY ONLY SUITABLE FOR AN EXPERIENCED JOINER/CABINETMAKER** We have a bay window in our lounge that we love. Unfortunately it has some rot that is visible to our keen eye and a rusty hinge on the outside from where someone (badly) sealed up an opening window and left the hinge in place, and some nails that have rusted through. Although a lovely window, it is currently an eyesore. We'd like to resolve this soon - over the next few months (read that as once Wellington's w...

Bathroom: Toilet and Sink Installation

Concrete Driveways & Paths

Manukau

I've got a new toilet (still in its packaging) that needs to be installed (removal of previous toilet unnecessary). Also, I've got a sink basin that needs to be hooked up. I've got an unusual non-purpose built wooden table that I want the basin installed in, so some cutting will be necessary. Lastly, I want the sink and bath taps checked to make sure they won't drip (you won't be installing the bath, just checking the tap).
