We're about to sink all our savings and more into a very expensive home repair that is *just* a repair and adds nothing to the appeal of the house.
It scares me, and I wonder if we've done the right thing.
I guess I want to find some way to make the house "worth it". Other than it is in a nice neighborhood that we absolutely love. The sort of quiet neighborhood where we're the youngest and wildest people for blocks and where silence is like a blanket. The house itself is nothing special. At one time the gardens were special, but even they aren't anymore.
Painting is about all we'll be able to afford to do for a very long time. Even the attic reflective heat barrier we were going to get to help with the air conditioning is going to be beyond our budget for a long time.
