I dont give them any tools, I dont pay them per hour, I dont tell them when to work. here is a code to the lockbox, here is he project. the price to remodel the bathroom is say $1000, tiles, grout, glue, durrock is on the jobsite. when you do it is not my problem. it cannot take more than 3 days. all that is written in the contract. they do not have their own insurance, I have a builders risk insurance to cover myself. will that work in case he fells off the bathtub and brakes his leg ?

So it took us more time then just changing locks.Along with temp fixing the frame with to secure it (we will replace the damaged wood at a later point - not sure if we will wait till the crazy bf is gone or when she moves out, I really do not want to keep paying for it over and over if it becomes a repeat occurrence), we had to go back to our house and get another dead bolt to add to the back door, and more tools (1 hr round trip).I am wondering how much do I charge for the repairs?
