Fine, I'm shipping the other two doors to you, Pro. I'll send color chips via Fed-ex soon.

How much should I charge myself for this?

About the same as a bathroom. That's around 30 dollars.

If I'm not mistaken, you got a boat payment coming due. Charge high.
If I'm wrong, sorry you don't have a boat.
