odd-jobs
Handyman's mixed work
Odd-jobs refers to miscellaneous small tasks or minor repairs, typically around a house or property: He spent Saturday doing odd-jobs—fixing the gate, cleaning gutters, patching drywall.
An odd-job man or odd-jobber handles such varied work for hire.
The hyphenated form emphasizes these tasks as a collective category rather than individual jobs that happen to be odd.
