[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Put the bench and hooks in the back hall and call the hall + closet together the "mudroom."

Also ... and I say this from experience, not to be snarky -- learn to use the drill yourself. That way the things that you want to get done will get done. [/quote]

I wish I knew how to use a drill better in this case so I could do it myself. He really hates house projects. We had bought a new faucet/hardware for that hall bathroom when we moved in and it literally sat in the garage for a year. I finally got fed up a couple of months ago and tried doing it myself and he only came to help me when I got in over my head taking apart the sink. Maybe I should start taking apart the closet and force him to intervene again. [/quote]

Or you could start taking apart the closet and actually do it right. Getting in "over your head" isn't a foregone conclusion. If he hates it, why should he do it any more than you should? Okay, okay, you're big and pregnant, so that just means you should hire a handyman.

Fair enough, but it's frustrating when he actually is really good at and knows how to do stuff around the house despite not wanting to do it. He helped his ex wife fix up her house and I think I'm paying for it =\ [/quote]
