When the window replacement crew showed up, I cringed to myself. Embarrassed about the state of the house in disarray. Not like I did when the home inspector came and said to me, "Have you done any updates since building in 1990?" Sigh. But still, it's a mess and I'm not done painting yet. Doesn't… Continue reading I’m not fainting yet, I’m still painting
