Reply to Tattoo artist recs? by jennyfromthebloccc
Baddie Tattoos is a private studio situated in an artist loft in a funky old factory in the heart of the Heights. Both Rachel and Anastasia are incredible.

I think we all inherently know that it shouldn’t cost 10k. But your points are valid and I think that’s why we are looking for someone that knows this trade.

I mean, that seems like a bit of a stretch. That's like saying boomers these days. They invented the Internet but can't figure out how to code a website. Not everyone has skills in every trade.
I understand how to do basic woodwork, but I am smart enough know the things I build won't look as good. Shelves in a closet I can build from scratch, but replacing a solid core door in my living room, I'm willing to pay to have it done right so it looks good.

I had talked to a couple of handymen, but one wanted what I thought was a crazy amount, and the other didn't really know where to get the oversized doors.
I didn't think they were that much bigger than normal, just a bit tall. Maybe I need a better handyman hookup...
I don't suppose you know a good handyman?

Why replace good doors if it's the jambs that are bad? If the door is painted its not hard to switch it around, even if it means filling in the lock holes on one side and drilling the other. But when every kid is told to go to college instead of learning a trade, this is what we get, no one to do this work. $10k for a 1 day job? Sheesh.

which is the one that comes with pineapple chunks because that seems to be the alternative option here in jc?
all joking aside i find them quite similar but it sounds like you have more discerning tastes which is fair enough

I was looking for the same. I have some door frames that are in bad condition because of weather. One door that should open in the opposite direction. I called these ‘Anderson windows’ people over for an estimate. They gave me an estimate for 10k+ per door.
How much should putting in a new prehung door cost?

At least the Prius is facing the correct direction. Maybe his battery went flat and he’s hoping for a little choo choo shove.

Unless there's something really special about those doors (size isn't a big deal), that's generally a handyman job. Ripping down a door isn't rocket science. Neither is hanging one.
Most contractors don't want to waste their time on such a job. They'll gladly replace doors as part of a gut remodel, but anyone decent is too busy for that small of a job.

Yo man I am trying to keep my bills low wtf are you doing. Go downtown, stay away from greenville do not come here. If you cant afford downtowm go to the heights. Let me enjoy this cheap tax for a little more before the other half of downtown comes by me and all of a sudden we are doing another tax restructuring.

Jiang Nan is the best on this side of the river. Was a little surprised when it came out with pineapple chunks (on the side), but it works quite well

ah i see, much clearer now
i did have a similar situation, and what happened was i called 3 months later and they looked at my average usage and credited me the rest
my situation was not a broken meter but rather when i moved in i think they just subtracted my meter from the last time it was rented by someone so i was asked to pay for all the interim months
