We knew ours needed work when we bought it (it was 50 years old then) but had no money so have gradually been fixing what seemed best. Amazing how long one can live with a fallen in ceiling with a gaping hole in the living room.

I too think its important to be honest and not pretend life is better than what it is--when folks do that then it feeds people unrealistic expectations (oh look, all these other people have it so smooth, so hey whats wrong with me, or wrong with my partner, or wrong with my home, or wrong with my dot dot dot?).
