I'm renting in an apartment, and I leave next week. Also renting privately, so I really only need this to look half decent before I go. I live in the city btw

II’m just thinking you’ll end up spending more on multiple failed self attempts than one paid small job. Doesn’t sound like you have a tool box to begin with.

Cmon mate we won’t learn anything that way. Let’s all go on a door repair journey together.

I admire the enthusiasm. Shall we Crowdfund him a roller?

You do get the point though? By the time you buy a roller, sample pot, scrapper, tape, sandpaper, to properly use that patch kit, it’s spiralled upward muchly. This is why sheds and craft hoards work long term.

Yes of course, but why let common sense stop us?

Schadenfreude may be later applied.

[-] fullkitwanker@aussie.zone 3 points 1 year ago

I have spent $15 so far. How much would this job cost on say, AirTasker?

[-] 6368_39162@aussie.zone 2 points 1 year ago

I shall ask when himself gets in….

Hey, apparently you’re looking in the region of 150 as it is. Would have been less if you’d left it alone. A new door would be cheaper if you can do the hardware switch. Good luck!

Lol fuck me. I think I might re do the putty ing and re paint the entire door. 💁‍♂️ Thanks anyway!
