Household Hints & Help

to live in the "Mother-in-law" section of my house in exchange for doing things around the house. He did some things well but others he was a complete and total idiot. So he started the front door and he used some stuff that was supposed to make paint peal off. But he also sprayed it on my door handle, (one of the big nice ones for front doors)

I ended up throwing that guy out because he was a jerk. So now I had a front door that was completely metal and I needed it painted. I called the handyman company who had helped me once before with a toilet, (something that original guy screwed up also). They quoted me $418 to paint the front door, with primer and also the mailbox, (which is small)

It was after this that I noticed that the door handle was ruined. I didn't say anything to the company because I figured they were going to put the handle back on so why not just stick a new one on. But yes, the new one is one of those punch the numbers one. I do not think it is complicated to put in. It is just that when the painter was here today and I showed it to him he said he didn't have the right tools and would have to come back.

So that is why the owner called me and wants another $80 to come back and put the new handle on. Remember he lives very close to me.

I just feel like I paid a LOT to have a door painted and when he said he wanted more to put the different handle on I got really mad. We talked on the phone and I told him I did not realize the door handle that was on there was ruined until just a couple days ago. And then it seems like it was getting into and argument so I just said I was feeling mad and I wanted to get off the phone.

That's it.
