AFTER · what the skill produced

Scope of Work for Sara Cobb
2823 Owlhaven St, Fairdale
Prepared by Reedhaven Handyman Services

What the photos show

Under the bathroom vanity: the hot side braided supply line appears to be dripping at the nut. The bottom of the cabinet looks dark and swollen.
Toilet base: the caulk is cracked and dark. Sara says the toilet rocks a little.
Back door: daylight shows under the left side, and the door sweep is torn.
Also in photo 1: the outlet next to the sink looks old, with two prongs and no reset buttons.

Safety concern, recommended now

Outlet next to the bathroom sink. This is electrical work, so it is outside what we do. We recommend a licensed electrician look at it. We have not priced it.

Recommended now

Replace the hot side supply line under the vanity, since it is leaking now. 0.5 hr at $65/hr = $32.50, plus materials $9.50 = $42.00
Replace the swollen vanity bottom panel, since the water has damaged it. 1.5 hr at $65/hr = $97.50, plus materials $0.00 (3/4 in plywood from our shop stock) = $97.50

Subtotal, Recommended now: $139.50

Also recommended

Reset the toilet and re-caulk the base, since the caulk is cracked and the toilet rocks. 1 hr at $65/hr = $65.00, plus materials $7.25 = $72.25
Replace the torn door sweep on the back door, where daylight shows under it. 1 hr at $65/hr = $65.00, plus materials $14.00 = $79.00

Subtotal, Also recommended: $151.25

Questions for the owner

What are the measurements of the vanity bottom panel and the back door sweep?
Does the toilet need shims, a new wax ring, or new bolts? The photos cannot show this.
Do you want to mention the dark, swollen cabinet bottom to Sara as a possible mold concern, with a licensed professional recommended? The photo cannot tell us what it is.
What day and time can you do the work?

What it does
