    Hey folks, anyone on here have a decent Sydney based handyman (inner west / Petersham area).

    I need to get a "lattice cover" replaced.

    Seems like a really basic easy to do job but Strata Management is giving us the run around so thought I'd just pay to get it done myself with less hassle/grief.

    It is about 60x60x200 and covers some gas meters so needs to be freestanding/able to be removed to read the meters occasionally. lattice cover 1.JPG lattice cover 2.JPG

    Post names/numbers of any contractors you think can do the work that are in the area so I can call/get details.

    It doesn't look like that area gets much sun, so I'm assuming the covers are cosmetic. Are the gas meters really that unattractive without a cover?

    Dean, there is a Marrickville 2020 FaceBook page. That's where you'll find someone. When people ask about this sort of thing, there is a local called Trevor who everybody says is great.
