A huge THANK YOU for getting me through the handover. PG is a danged good painter people, the apartment was accepted with no complaints and they are a danged fussy bunch here, that's for sure.
I am sure to need more help in the future and I have your number
Have a great weekend and see you soon again, for sure.

Just want to give Papa Goose a bump,
He rescued me from Ikea H*ll, and finally shed light on my pad by handling all the fixtures. Even when things did not go as planned, he was quick on the feet with contingencies and saved the day.
When you add in the great conversation, gentlemen demeanor, and wonderful sense of humour it makes for all around great experience.
Be advised that the Goose needs to be fed - Tea and cookies are a steak dinner work best...
I strongly endorse Goose and if you want to check out his handiwork feel free to send me a PM.

Hey, Papa Goose - if you ever get requests from people in Basel that you're not going to take up yourself, please consider sending them my way! Thanks! Nate

I don't think I can sing enough praise for the help that Papa Goose gave us! He swooped in like a super-hero and tackled the project we have been putting off for months... installing light fixtures! I barely even saw it happen, he did it so fast, and he didn't even need to look at the instructions. Knew exactly what he was doing.
He also picked up and delivered some furniture I bought from another Ef'er. Unloaded it and carried it up the stairs and everything. All at what I would say is quite a modest rate.
Very highly recommended! Thank you Papa Goose!!

A massive thank you to the Goose for helping me put up lights as well as giving me and executing his ideas flawlessly on how to get rid of all the spaghetti wires hanging behind the TV console.
Echoing everyone else's positive comments, he is knowledgeable and extremely quick on the job. Goose is your man if you need help around the house.

Another positive recommendation for Papa Goose. He saved me from many hours of IKEA assembley hell and installed all my lights. As mentioned by one of the previous posts all done at a reasonable rate too.
Thanks

We've had PG do a few picture hooks and things for us in the past, and we'll be booking him again when we move house in a few month's time..friendly, reliable, prompt, and good rates! |

We've had PG help us moving to our new place and assembly some of the furniture. It was a lot of stuff (and no lift), but he did very seamlessly
I would definitely recommend him.

I'd recommend him as well - he took apart my old bed and helped me dispose of it, then put together my new one. He's also a very nice person. Thanks PG - really appreciated your help Friday!
