Why does the wife always...?

[japody]

....and it's not gonna get better!!! Every time she tells me of her new idea, I tell her to put it on the list. Right now, I'm booked up until I live to be 150!

I was left a list of honey do's on the bar once. Far as I know its still there.

I think all women should be banned from watching HGTV. The TV shows make everything look so simple. The wives don't understand all the planning, hours of labor and the costs.

I hear you man. Mine asked me a while back if we could buy a house to flip. Wonder where she got that from.

I just wish my wife had a clue of what the remodel costs the way she wants it vs. the practical way! She wants to move the kitchen over a bit.

Mine is pretty direct. My worst nightmares start off with, "I need you to do something......."

You guys are killing me, its like there are clones of my wife running around! At least I have avoided the whole "lets make something artsy fartsy from a pallet!" craze. I will say that pinterest has had some dam good recipes that we have tried out together as well as some flubs.

So funny, remember her first project?? Come on thing about it. It was YOU. God gave women such an positive attitude, they very seldom see the negative in such as raising children or they just see the positive as so great the cost are well worth it. Yes I know each of you know all that, your post all show the way you admire and love her. Beat you still remember how she looked when you married.

My wife is great, she does tote tools to me, she will say she is my gofer and they do not even grow here. She does help and will take on a project knowing I will have little time to help. Could not ask for a more supportive helpmeet that God gave me. Very blessed. It is great to share in each others dreams.

...always bring out the best in me. Yeah, I have done things I would not have dreamed of, or gotten into places and projects that some people would walk from. In the end, it's been a great ride and we learned a lot about things - together. I am fortunate, lucky and must be blessed.

Now back to the electrical issue.... LOL

Mine is like this. I don't mind so much. Our deal at home is I make the mess and she cleans up when I'm done (this doesn't include heavy demo debris which I'm still responsible for). I figured out a long time ago, that I save a lot by doing myself, and figured out that I could then justify tools on each project and she doesn't complain. Therefore, 20+ years later, I have every tool I can think of for that "I just might need a ____" situation and she doesn't complain about it at all.

The downside; yes, lots of extra work for me and now that I have the tools I have no excuses...

I'm flipping a house right now as my 2nd job. Working with my brother and this is our 2nd flip with 9 years in between. Economy is finally right again for it, so we decided to take a change again. I wasn't even a week into this one (which will likely be 7 or more months of nights and weekends) and she's already talking about "our" next flip and future flips. Meanwhile, she's at home each night and weekend doing her thing!!! ;-)

...have these great/brilliant ideas...but, we are the one's that have to do all the "fun" part of getting it done?

My favorite line concerning this is "My hands are an extension of your mouth."
