So good to hear Baby Dallas is progressing towards going home! It's been a long road for all of you
Mark, you are always as busy as Dee! But good things come from all that work!
Popcorn belongs in a bowl with butter...the end! In the mid 90's I did a bunch of repainting, carpet, vinyl, and trim for my Mom. I didn't even try painting that popcorn ceiling in her house. It had never been repainted, so it was not too difficult to get rid of with a wide blade mud knife...but I was a LOT younger then
Tracy, I hear you on the annual putting up and taking down chores. Nobody got time for that shiz!
Dee, thanks for the advice about payment. If I decide to do a small deck (yall are bad influences on my budget!!) I'll use the same guy who did my fence. He's honest, local, and fair on his pricing. I may call him and get an estimate from him
