Comments on: My Worst Critic http://www.pattiaro.com/2005/05/09/my-worst-critic/ I don't know what to make of it either.

I should have checked your blog earlier! If your contractor doesn't come through, we will help! We are good painters!=) We went through the same thing as you are with our place. It took us an entire week of being off from work to paint and our place is probably a lot smaller. Don't beat yourself up over it, we underestimated ourselves, and were EXHAUSTED by the end of it. Our "vacation" was anything but. Then my dear husband broke his ankle moving and it really went downhill. We were also trying to save money and thought it would be quick and easy. We didn't and it wasn't. I think new homeowners do this a lot, so don't beat yourself up so much. Hang in there and call and we'll be happy to help. The other half takes out the boat on Saturday, but we will be free otherwise. =) - T Patti!

Also, the wisdom to cut your losses when things aren't going well is something to be proud of. I'm sure other aspects of getting the place together will go more smoothly! All my best from Korea...
