"quick lesson about stayin the f^#% outa my booze"
I know that one! I had to have that conversation with my two sons more than once also. First it was my last beer but then I had a 1/2 gallon of Don Quixote rum that disappeared. That did it. I took their car keys and made them ride the bus to high school for a few days. Humbled them right out.
Our adopted son still tells people about the first thing I ever said to him was "Stay the f*ck outta my shiat!"
He was one of those kids that had to pull, push, open and generally mess with everything. Given his background before he was part of our family I'd guess it was just for attention. He sure got attention from me until he realized he was accepted.

Sol - maybe having someone come in a finish up the work for you might be better. Working full time plus working on the house is hard timewise. Given the length of time properties are on the market these days, you may want to get the process started before all the work is finished. Our market hasn't dropped to the extent of others but it's still a lot slower than it was. 4 - 6 months or more is not unusual now days although waterfront is less affected. The money you pay to somebody to do it may be made up by savings on holding costs prior to marketing.
