What's on your list? We've got a postponed bathroom renovation (just waiting to see if Big Brother is going to make any job cuts before we dive in to savings for that). But what we really need to do is paint the back of the house. Anyone ever climbed one of those huge ladders and done it yourself? The back of the house needs it desperately and I'm not one to pay for something we can and should do ourselves - not ever. But we're both big chickens of climbing that ladder - we've got a 2 story, plus attic level to paint. I need someone to tell me how to do this. It can't be that hard.
