I hear you loud and clear!
To be fair though the bathroom really does need it and my wife had been
making the same request for a while.
I'll have to do as much as I can with the funds available and see where
that gets us.
My daughter has been a trooper scraping the old paint off the back of the
house prepping for paint, and this is my demented daughter who has MS.
I'm glad to try and make things nice for her.
