<p>As my nest empties here I’m seeing that it needs a lot of work, and thinking of various DIY projects-- especially painting furniture. Does anyone know of a message board/community for things like that? I’m as new to that as I was to the college process when I arrived here, and could use all the advice I can get!</p>
