This is why I have never and will never vacation in Mexico.

Airports shut down, military getting involved, power may soon be cut, our resort is surrounded by burning cars, the situation is intense!

@RealSpitfire I'm excited for discount travel and hotel prices to Mexico - Sounds like it's going to be a steal of a deal here soon

$600 isn't high.. but maybe you are high? 🤔
Day 1: Cut out damage back to wall studs, attached patch with drywall screws tape and mud (Now mud has to dry you know, so the contractor now leaves)
Day 2: Sand mud (If dry) Apply a second coat of mud
Day 3: Sand again, touch up mud as needed.
Day 4: Final sand, then prime and texture to match existing (Yes the texture needs to dry before paint)
Day 5: Prime again - then paint wall corner to corner x2 coats possibly 3 if the patched area looks thirsty.
Costs (Because I know you don't run a business with your $20 comment)
1) Gas ⛽ - $50 I would say because I'm guessing they aren't your neighbor
2) Few cans of texture $45
3) Primer $25
4) Gallon of paint $40
5) 5 days of business insurance (Yes this needs to be accounted for - this isn't a not for profit) $100
6) 5 days of operation costs - vehicle insurance, bookkeeper, storage unit... You get the point.. $100
= $360 just to do the damn job.. $240 profit (Probably 20 hours with how much time to do it, driving, talking to you about every little thing you're scared of ECT =
$12 an hour....
Now someone tell me I'm wrong..
END OF STORY

I'm losing my mind. I called a handyman to fix this one small hole. He had the nerve to quote me $600! For what?! A $20 patch kit from Home Depot? He's trying to tell me he has to 'cut a new square,' 're-tape the seams,' and 'paint the entire wall' to blend it. What a joke! Does he really think I'm that dumb?! He's just trying to scam me into paying for a full day's work for a 30-minute job.
