davidd's A DOLL A DAY 2023

Wow!  Looks like major cleanup going on.
Now that you've discarded "something that might be useful some day"... you'll need it next week  

Yeah, the girls accomplished a lot over the summer season; but it seems like everywhere I turn, there's more, more, and still more to do to even begin to make things look and function halfway decently. The whole "clean up and fix up" process is feeling pretty hopeless right now.

Dragging junk out from under the house doesn't cost anything, thank goodness, but so many projects require supplies, and the cost of even simple supplies like paint or wood stain is becoming prohibitive. I mean, what's the deal with paint prices approaching a hundred dollars a gallon? 

You know. You had your deck worked on. And you didn't have free labor, either.
(Just think about how many Smart Doll Helpers you could have purchased for what you paid the handyman.)

((Or maybe don't think about it.))
