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.
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.
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!
On second thought. It’s a hollow core door. Just buy a new one, the things are nearly cardboard anyway.

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?

Yes of course, but why let common sense stop us?
Schadenfreude may be later applied.
I have spent $15 so far. How much would this job cost on say, AirTasker?
I shall ask when himself gets in….
Thank you!!

Lol fuck me. I think I might re do the putty ing and re paint the entire door. 💁♂️ Thanks anyway!
Changed my mind. If you can’t patch, switching the hardware will be too complicated. Shutting up now. Blargh.
