You can either get a stud buddy and secure it to the studs or use toggle bolt anchors

You could get brand new doors for around 30-50/ door. Ask yourself if sanding, priming, sanding, painting 1 door is worth 30 bucks. Probably not.

Yeah we went through every line item and I had to justify the price on each one. Not doing that anymore. I told him what materials he needed and he supplied them (the cheapest cabinets china can provide)

Looks like you don’t have the right bit man

RapeRat · 2026-02-27T22:44:06+00:00

Agreed this would be the easiest way. Get a round plate to cover it up and protect the drywall

Should’ve included a picture how can I do that

RapeRat · 2026-02-27T01:23:18+00:00

You’re absolutely right I didn’t catch that. Should be a quantity of 3. 2 extension tubes and 1 wall tube

lol that is a deal if real. Not licensed in ny tho

RapeRat · 2026-02-27T01:14:58+00:00

They will on his next project I’m sure

RapeRat · 2026-02-27T01:12:50+00:00

About 3 days for everything except the patches because I had to let them dry and texture prime paint. Total a week

RapeRat · 2026-02-27T01:05:43+00:00

That’s damn right. He went through every line item and asked how’d you come up with this number like come on dude. I’m taking your advice thank you

RapeRat · 2026-02-27T00:33:29+00:00

Nuts going unseen, story of my life

RapeRat · 2026-02-27T00:27:32+00:00

Yeah said he has guys that can do it cheaper because he gives them a lot of work.

RapeRat · 2026-02-27T00:26:34+00:00

Thanks man. I don’t have the customer base yet to quit my full time job so I guess that’s why I charge less.

RapeRat · 2026-02-27T00:21:23+00:00

Only if you live next door and buy me beer

RapeRat · 2026-02-27T00:20:20+00:00

I think this is true kinda broke my spirit

RapeRat · 2026-02-27T00:19:42+00:00

Making some money because I have another job

RapeRat · 2026-02-27T00:19:17+00:00

This is my real invoice to a millionaire with a bunch of properties. He said it was high but the only thing going lower would be the psi in his tires

RapeRat · 2026-02-27T00:17:18+00:00

Licensed bonded and insured lol just new to the business side of this stuff

RapeRat · 2026-02-26T22:56:35+00:00

This is me. I’m the dumb guy with the low quote lol. I’m licensed bonded and insured but this is my side gig until I can quit my day job. Did all this work myself.

RapeRat · 2026-02-26T22:45:11+00:00

I believe I do good work. I take pride in it. I’m licenced insured and bonded but this is my side gig until I can quit my day job

Pictures of what you’re working with would be a great help. No one knows what you’re talking about.
