Extra Repairs During a Painting Job
You are a self-employed painter in Brackenport, a coastal town in Nova Scotia. Elise, the owner of Marram Rest Guesthouse, hired you to paint the breakfast room for an agreed price. Your written quote covers preparing and painting the walls. Since you started, Elise has repeatedly added small repairs, including fixing a loose shelf and adjusting a cupboard door. She expects these repairs to be included because you already have your tools there. The repairs would take extra time, and you cannot include them at the original price.

- Do you address Elise directly, explain one chosen course tactfully, and state that extra repairs require a revised quote?
