Or maybe just a contractor.
:(
My house is a wreck. I'd like to take my turn inviting people over to our house for potluck suppers, etc. But I'm too embarrassed.
We started paint projects. Our main room is almost finished after two years. But we removed the peeling wallpaper from the bathroom and we've tried to scrape off the glue several times. But we're still left with a mess of crumbly glue and torn sheetrock and no texturing. We want to paint instead of paper and I'm totally pessimistic.
The outside is peeling and needs painting too.
I'm almost *positive* I managed to do this stuff at my parents' house when I lived there, along with working and hobbies. Did the days get shorter? Did my energy just run out?
The *re*painting I can do I guess. But I have absolutely no artistic sense at all. Or skills. It's very discouraging.
