( My rule goes along the line of 1 thing comes into the house, then 1 thing must go out of the house. It's working. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif )

I would be afraid that my wife would come home with a new couch and select ME as the one thing that must go out of the house. /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Anyone have a suggestion 

The nicest thing my wife did for me the last time we moved was hire movers. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif My back felt great and I thought the move went very smoothly. I don't know what the movers thought. /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

( Your problem sounds like a perfectly normal situation to me. Having been married to the same woman now for 40 years, and having moved a few times, I've accepted the fact that it's normal. You're just learning later in life because you haven't moved before. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif )

NORMAL? You've never met my wife. The word normal would never enter the conversation if you had.

But I guess that's about normal, isn't it?

I have had great success focusing my attention on OUT buildings while the misses does the house thingy. As a matter of fact, even the kids are gravitating to the OUT buildings.

This last move, after 15 years in one place, going from a modern household to a dilapidated farm, was handled by professional movers. BEST move we ever made. Pun intended.

My wife an I moved into the house I purchased just before we were married and it's been 31 years of all the experiences of two different people trying to live together. There have been several occasions when I didn't know if my wife was going to commit homicide or suicide.

She was pretty good about trying to move things around herself but when it came to not having room she thought it was inexpensive and easy to just add on to the house or raise the roof two inches or maybe push a wall out a foot or so to make things fit.

The method that finally had some measure of success was graph paper. I would make a scaled outline of the room in question and I made some templates of the furniture she could move around on paper. It took some time for her to understand the space required between things but it saved moving heavy stuff several times.

Once she tried moving the piano and found out how heavy it is for herself that slowed down some of it's movement. For several years things remained pretty much in place but when those natural changes began to take place in her body stuff began to move again in a very random manner.

I have found that my wife listens to one of our son's input better than she does mine, so I suggest that she talk it over with one of them first. That kind of gets me off the hook sometimes. The law of averages says that sooner or later she will get things just where she wants you to put them.

Spend as much time as possible in the woods, hunting, running the tractor, whatever.......

A golf club would be much more gratifying, besides the anti gunners dont need any more ammo.... /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
