DIY Support
Annie is working to slowly remodel an old Victorian house in Detroit. She texts me about how to DIY a wall repair, I call her to advise, and then we text again about the job and from the hardware store as she wonders which spackle to buy.

note: efflourescence is when salts seem to grow from the plaster, it kind of looks like a white mold. It is not mold and you can just scrape it off!
