    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.

          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.

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

              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!
