I don't think the writing on someone else's skin thing is in me, but I'd like to give writing on something better a try. Do you have suggestions for where I could start looking?
I don't know what my hands are made for, but I doubt I could swing a hammer without hurting myself, so I can kind of relate. If your house is as beautiful as you say it is, it's better if someone skilled in building works on it anyway, right?
