Do you ask permission/give notice of the chores your doing?

For the past three weeks, he’s been slowly chipping away the stain on our deck with the intention of restaining . But now our deck just has large patches of raw wood and there are piles of chips lying around. Similarly, he read once that, if you want to continue a paint job in a day or two, you can wrap the paint brush and refrigerate it instead of rinsing it out. We’ve had a paint brush in our fridge for a month. He has other great qualities, but his home projects make my life worse, not better.

DH here, some projects take longer than expected. If he is still making progress on the deck he will finish it. And paint brushes can be preserved this way but eventually they dry out and you have to get a new one. A month is too long, should have used the freezer instead.
